Glide Into the Future with PING's New Forged Wedges

Cool Clubs | First Take

We recently tested the new Ping products and they performed very well. Compared to our top two selling irons they were very competitive. The TrackMan numbers were so close it came down to what looks, feels and sounds best to the player. The new i210, i500 and Glide Forged wedges should definitely be on your list to try!

Unprecedented soft feel, tour-level shot-making control and optimal turf interaction on a wide variety of approach shots is what players can expect when they’re fitted for the new PING Glide Forged Wedges at any of our domestic and international Cool Clubs locations. CNC machined face with wheel-cut grooves create lower launch angles and higher spin as the grooves grab the ball, ensuring your wedge shots don’t slide up the club face. Incredible versatility, compact, tour-inspired shape, muted impact experience and a soft, forgivable feel, all rolled into one.
