Ping s259 wedges add spin and six grinds for better short game fitting

Key Highlights

• The faces and grooves are precision-machined to ensure the hitting area is perfectly flat and the grooves deliver maximum allowable spin. The s259 wedges have a Hydropearl 2.0, water-repelling finish and sharp grooves designed to grip the ball and add spin. The center of gravity (CG) in the s259 wedges has been subtly repositioned to sit higher in the blade, helping produce a lower, more controlled trajectory that accomplished players tend to prefer.
• The offset and topline have been refined slightly to frame the ball cleanly at address, giving the wedges a balanced, confidence-inspiring appearance that blends seamlessly with Ping’s i-series irons. Ping once again applied its Hydropearl 2.0 finish, a glare-reducing coating that repels water and increases friction between the ball and face in damp conditions.
• That should translate to more spin consistency when playing early-morning or wet-weather rounds. In the address position, the s259 wedges feature a thin topline, minimal offset and grooves packed tightly in the hitting area. With six grind options and multiple bounce configurations, the s259 family gives fitters more flexibility to customize wedge setups for a wide range of playing styles — from steep, digger-type players to shallow, sweeping strikers.

W Grind: A wider sole with higher bounce, ideal for softer turf or players with steeper swings. B Grind: A narrower sole for players with shallow attack angles or those who like to open the face around the green. H Grind: A high-bounce option with heel and trailing-edge relief that helps the club glide through sand or thick rough. T Grind: The thinnest sole and lowest bounce, perfect for firm turf and tight lies. E Grind: New for 2026, the E sits between the H and T grinds, offering generous heel relief with a slightly wider sole for added forgiveness on open-face shots. Loft options range from 46 to 62 degrees (with all lofts and grinds available in both right- and left-handed models), and there are more bounce combinations per loft than before.
• The popular W grind, for example, now extends into the 50- and 52-degree range in response to fitter and Tour feedback calling for more forgiving gap wedges that transition smoothly from modern, stronger-lofted irons. For players who care more about scoring t.
