The Ping S259 Wedges are designed to give golfers greater precision and confidence in the scoring zone, where shots inside 120 yards can make the biggest difference. Featuring compact shaping, advanced sole options and a high-friction face built for dependable spin, the S259 range is engineered to help you control trajectory, distance and stopping power. From straightforward approach shots to imaginative greenside play, there is an S259 configuration to suit how you deliver the club and the conditions you play in.
At setup, the S259 wedges present a tidy, compact appearance that sits neatly behind the ball. Clean leading-edge geometry and a smoothly blended hosel transition create a square, reassuring look at address, encouraging commitment whether you are hitting a full wedge or playing a delicate touch shot around the green.
Consistent spin is key to controlling distance and stopping power, and the S259 wedges are built with that in mind. A precision-milled face combined with wheel-cut grooves increases friction at impact, helping produce predictable launch and spin on strikes across the face. Groove design is tailored by loft to deliver balanced performance throughout the set, from controlled full shots to finesse pitches.
The S259 range offers multiple sole designs to suit different swing styles and turf conditions. Golfers with a steeper angle of attack can benefit from added bounce and sole width to reduce digging and improve turf interaction, while those with a shallower strike often favour lower-bounce options that sit closer to the ground. Selected grinds also feature heel and trailing edge relief, making it easier to open the face and play a wider variety of shots with confidence.
Ping offers the S259 wedges in performance-focused finishes that are built to maintain consistency in changing weather. The Hydropearl 2.0 Chrome finish helps repel moisture, supporting reliable spin and control in damp or wet conditions. A darker, glare-reducing finish is also available on selected loft and grind combinations (subject to availability), providing a clean look at address in bright light.
A well-built wedge setup should provide consistent distance gaps and suit the shots you face most often. Many players begin by matching their first wedge to the loft of their pitching wedge, then add additional wedges to cover both full and reduced swing distances. Including a higher-lofted option can be useful for bunkers, short-sided pitches and shots that require extra height and stopping power. If you are unsure which lofts or grinds are best for your swing, a wedge fitting can quickly help confirm the most effective setup.
One of the key strengths of the Ping S259 wedges is the variety of sole configurations available across the range. Each grind is designed to influence how the wedge moves through turf or sand, helping golfers improve strike quality, consistency and confidence from a wide range of lies. Choosing the right sole shape is just as important as selecting the correct loft, especially when it comes to partial shots and greenside play.
Golfers with a steeper delivery or more forward shaft lean generally benefit from wider soles and higher bounce, as these designs reduce digging and improve forgiveness through the ground. Players with a shallower swing or those who frequently play on firmer turf often prefer lower-bounce options that allow the leading edge to sit closer to the surface for crisp contact. Some S259 grinds also include heel and trailing edge relief, making it easier to open the face without dramatically changing how the club sits at address.
Selecting a grind that suits your technique and course conditions can improve turf interaction, tighten dispersion on partial shots and make short-game decisions feel more instinctive. If you are unsure where to begin, Ping's WebFit Wedge Tool offers personalised loft and grind recommendations based on how you swing the club and the conditions you typically play in.
