 In a market that is absolutely flooded with choice right now, which is a good thing I reckon, there's plenty out there for you to choose from, and wedges are a major part of the game, and it really depends what you're looking for. But right now, Ping have just brought out what was a product that really stood out in its class. It's very much for me a players type wedge. It's a forge wedge, which is really interesting to me. It looks absolutely superb, and you can probably see alongside it, I'm reviewing the i59s as well. It sits extremely well in the bag with a set of them things. So we're down at a par three course, just at the back of four golf, and what I'm going to do is I'm going to try some sort of full wedges, which for 54 degrees, which is the one I've got in the bag, is going to be around 100 yards, and then we'll try some short stuff in and around the greens, and see how this thing performs in the hands of an average golfer. Is it a players wedge, or is it suitable for everyone? I'll soon find that I expect. I was just interested to see whether or not there's two shots you'll see over late years. A 54 degree wedge, don't forget that I've got it in hand. I played what is a normal, sort of from there for me, will be more of a chip and run style shot. And again, release quite good, not the best of shots from me, but then to play from exactly the same position and be able to lay the club face open a little bit without it feeling uncomfortable, sort of sometimes for me, I think one of the big improvements in wedges of late is that ability to lay them open and not feel as though the sort of club is not on the line and aim that you want. So it sits very naturally behind the club face, so it's easy to do that. And again, you've just seen that ball pop or pied, totally different ball flight. So plenty of flexibility within the club face itself and the way it sits on the ground, which again is a major plus, isn't it? Another reason why you'll have a wedge in your bag is often to get out of some heavy stuff, certainly around the greens, position you might find yourself certainly as an average golfer. And what I want to know from the lie I've got here, it's an okay lie, it's not great, but what I want to know is what kind of control I've got. One thing the glide wedges did incredibly well on their previous release was they performed extremely well in wet conditions. That's something they've done very well, ping wedges, and again, control from the rough. So we're not, like I said, it's not the worst lie in the world, but it'll be just be interesting to see how much this releases from this type of lie. It's popped out okay. You see a release. Greens are fairly firm here. This par three course is still lively enough in terms of the greens. It kind of, I think you've got to have a level of expectation. It didn't do any different than I would have expected it to. It came out of the rough. There was obviously grass. Well you can see where it hit there actually. You can see plenty of grass on the club and grass between ball that causes that problem in terms of spin or control rather. So we didn't learn a great deal if I'm honest with you from that shot. It did exactly as we probably expected to with no magic miracle in terms of being able to stop that ball from that kind of lie. So when you buy a wedge, I think what you've got to do right now is decide what is it you want from it? What are you looking for? What are the key features? So for me with this glide wedge, the big deal is that it's forged. So straight away I'm a golfer that likes to have great feel in terms of irons. So that takes a major box, but then you're looking at kind of like profile and you're thinking well this is very much a player's profile in terms of its size, but what I will say they've done really well with this. They've packed a little bit of mass in and around the backside of it that you don't really see. So it's sitting in the category now, although it's called a glide, it's a very much a pro wedge. I think it's a very playable wedge and it's got forgiveness in there if you like because of that sort of mass behind the ball. So I think it appeals to quite, could appeal to a wide range of golfers who are looking for a number of different things. So yet it'll appeal to a player, but also appeal to a player who wants more of a game improvement type wedge. And I think that's a big deal what Ping have done there. So we've just moved forward off the tee. It plays 130. This is probably, that's a little bit too far, but I think we've got about sort of 110 in us downwind. So this is very much obviously a full wedge, but something that you're going to be looking to play. Interesting to see the sort of contact and sound between club and ball. That's a really nice field, picks the ball up really well. Actually got the yardage a little bit longer than what I expected it to be, but we'd take that. But I think the key for me was the sound and feel. I mentioned in a previous clip, it's a big deal for me. It's something that Ping have got that others haven't in this category. And that's that forged feel and what resonates ultimately in sound. So yeah, loving that. So one of the key things is this is classed as a player's wedge. And I've already said about the back end, having a little bit of a meeting to it. They've done really well in terms of when they sit to the dress from the top line, it looks like a player's wedge. But what I will say they've done this really good job and we've seen it a lot is this kind of like chamfered back line, which really makes it look very, very neat to the dress, but in fact hides a little bit of mass that's in here. And I think it's not the widest sole unit. If we look down at the sole, it's kind of, but it's not a blade like it's not a player's like it's got a bit of mass there. And I like the fact that they do that. When it sat there though, the big noticeable difference sort of behind the ball is the heel to toe length and the actual shaping of it. That's when it becomes very much more into that player's category. So it's shorter in terms of the distance that we would normally see between like I said, a player's and a game improvement type iron. It's also got a sort of very rounded type shape on the whole wedge. And I think again, it's very much unique to their look that they've got going on right now because I think to be fair again, it's classic in its looks, but it's very much a pin glide wedge that you've seen before. And that is again, it's something that's a is it going to appeal to you or is it not because it is noticeably smaller address than a lot of wedges that are out there. So a couple of shots here play from what is really light rough. But again, you're not expecting this is a half a shot, one of the most difficult shots to kind of get some control on. And you'll see from both them pitch on the green, but still release that little bit. And I think it's a reminder that let's not kid ourselves that it's not, there ain't no miracles within these wedges. There ain't no things that are spin machines. This idea that, you know, something's going to come along with grooves that are effectively maybe a little bit claiming to be a little bit different than those on other wedges, but effectively it is all going to be about the quality of the strike that you and I put on them. And coming from that kind of rough, just that light rough, you'll see again, like I said, there's still that little bit of release there. And you can't forget that when you're buying these things. Like I said, there's no miracles out there. So a nice shot to finish it. I think we'll leave it there. There's only so much you can do in terms of wedge reviews. And we've looked at it in a number of different scenarios. And like I said, there's no magic ones. It all really does rely on your kind of strike. You see it there, that last shot was probably the best representation of a full shot, which sat and grabbed. It's coming in from the right kind of elevation. Some of the shorter three quarter shots always going to be difficult control. But if I was to assess the kind of what they've done, they've produced a really good looking wedge. First of all, the massive tick in the box for me is the feel from it, feel superb and sounds really good. The negative is, if there is any, it's just that size and profile. I suppose a negative in the fact that it doesn't appeal to the masses, but if you're that kind of player and that appeals to you, it's a massive bonus. But I still feel that if you can get over the kind of looks in terms of the smaller profile, there's plenty of help and assistance in there to play it as a game improvement type wedge, if you like. So, you know, this pro title that it's given, I'm not really sure it's sort of excluded itself from a number of golfers out there that'd be perfectly fine in playing that wedge in the bag. So that's me done. As ever, thank you for watching. Don't forget, if you're looking for wedges at the moment and you've seen a few of late that have come out, are these going to be on the wish list? That's the thing I would like to know from you. And also maybe another good one for me, because as I've gone round here testing this wedge, it's thinking, how many times or how often do you change your wedge? And another key factor is, how often do you clean your grooves on the way around your game of golf? Because that's another interesting bit for me. Right, thanks as ever for watching and I'll see you all very soon because we're carrying on and I'm going to hit some more shots with these I-59s, which hopefully you've watched that review already and they're pretty impressive too.
