Nice. I ordered mine today and am really excited to get them. Too bad there is about two feet of snow on the ground. Boo!

I got the same as you have. How is the stopping power on full shots with the 54?

We're looking to bring them back, likely in a forum.

Works great for me, if anything they can almost spin a bit too much on full shots when they're brand new. Previously used the 52°/58° now I have the 50°/55° (bent from 56)/60°.

Weird ... I responded to this last night but I don't see it anywhere.  Usually when I forget to actually post, it'll still appear in the window patiently waiting for me.  Oh well.

Anyways, yeah, these things stop the ball with no problems whatsoever.

So I obviously really like mine and over two years later, they're still in the bag, and they're going to stay in the bag for quite some time.  However, I need to put a new grip on them and none of the stores near me (or even online ones that carry grips) seem to have the great grip this one had.  Has anyone been able to re-grip with their wedge grip?

Hmmm ... I think Ping puts their own grips (and shafts too?) on their clubs, so that might be why you're having trouble finding the replacement.

I got mine (all of my clubs, in fact) regripped with Pure Pro Midsize at the Newport Cup in September 2015.  Those grips are still going strong so if you can't find the Ping grip this one is worth a look IMO.

I've been able to find some Ping grips, just not the wedge one, at a few stores.  I figured there may be another way.  But the ones I found are generic Ping so that makes sense.

Oh well, they're still great clubs, but a new grip will be better than their "awesome grip that has been in use for over two years" grip.

Golf Galaxy used to carry Ping replacement grips. I haven't looked in a while, but check their site.

Thanks.  They have a basic grip and the putter grip online.  I think I'll end up being fine with a non-Ping grip for this.

Even PING's online store doesn't offer the Glide grips. I'd call them and see if you can get it through them direct.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By xrayvizhen · Posted

      I'm not sure you're calculating the number of strokes you would need to give correctly. The way I figure it, a 6.9 index golfer playing from tees that are rated 70.8/126 would have a course handicap of 6. A 20-index golfer playing from tees that are rated 64/106 would have a course handicap of 11. Therefore, based on the example above, assuming this is the same golf course and these index & slope numbers are based on the different tees, you should only have to give 5 strokes (or one stroke on the five most difficult holes if match play) not 6. Regardless, I get your point...the average golfer has no understanding of how the system works and trying to explain it to people, who haven't bothered to read the documentation provided by either the USGA or the R&A, is hopeless. In any case, I think the WHS as it currently is, does the best job possible of leveling the playing field and I think most golfers (obviously, based on the back & forth on this thread, not all golfers) at least comprehend that.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By mdl · Posted

      Yes it's true in a large sample like a tournament a bunch of 20 handicaps shouldn't get 13 strokes more than you. One of them will have a day and win. But two on one, the 7 handicap is going to cover those 13 strokes the vast majority of the time. 20 handicaps are shit players. With super high variance and a very asymmetrical distribution of scores. Yes they shoot 85 every once in a while. But they shoot 110 way more often. A 7 handicap's equivalent is shooting 74 every once in a while but... 86 way more often?
