Hi everyone, thanks for stopping by, today we’re sharing an independent review of the Ping Tour S wedge, which has been around for quite some time now. If you’re in the market, it’s still a a very solid wedge, and now you can grab it for half the cost or less. Enjoy the review below.
Looks
The Ping Tour S wedge could be considered a continuation of the Ping s56 blade irons. They feature a classic appearance and minimal offset with a satin chrome finish or a non-glare rustic finish. The rustic wedge is designed with an 8620 stainless steel that is known as a softer metal. In addition, the Tour S produces the rusty finish that helps deliver additional spin. The satin chrome finish is made from 1704 stainless steel which is similar to other ping wedges. Similar to the s56 irons, the Tour S wedges feature a thin top line and slender sole. The polymer insert helps dampen vibrations at impact. The insert also allows Ping to alter swing weight.
Performance
Feel
The heavier D4 swing weight feels great and helps deliver the confidence I needed to hit any shot with this wedge. Better ball strikers will likely prefer the Ping Tour S or Anser wedge, while higher handicap players will probably prefer the Ping G20, K15 or Eye2 XG.
Value
A wedge needs to look and feel comfortable and the Ping Tour S delivers. It produces a solid performance and is priced according to the competition. Standard retail price for the Ping Tour S is $119.99. Higher handicap players may prefer a club with a little more forgiveness. However, players who really want to control the ball will enjoy the Ping Tour S. This is one of the best wedges available this year.
