PING S159

9.2 overall

The Bottom Line

PING S159 is the best wedge of 2024. Our wedge testing analyzes accuracy, consistency, and spin. S159 ranks 5th for accuracy, 3rd for consistency, and 1st for spin. Wedge testing is different than other Most Wanted tests. It includes a full-swing condition and a 50-yard condition where moisture is present. For years, PING's wedges perform when moisture is present. In most cases, we've seen the spin be higher in wet conditions. If you want a wedge that performs in all conditions, PING S159 might be the golden ticket.

👍 Buy This If

You performance in all conditions: Once again, PING excels in our wet condition of wedge testing. In this scenario, PING thrives by producing more spin when moisture is present versus a dry condition. Additionally, it produces a high spin rate across all testing conditions, which makes it the best wedge for spin in 2024. If you play in a plethora of playing conditions, especially dewy mornings, PING S159 is worth considering.

You want all around performance: Not only is PING S159 the best wedge for spin, it is top tier performer for accuracy and consistency. Wedges need to be accurate. They’re a scoring club and hitting shots near or around the pin is critical to lower scores. In our wedge testing, consistency is measuring how well a wedge produces tight carry distances and dispersion. This is important because we test in a full-swing condition and a 50-yard condition. You need to have consistency and control from all distances when using a wedge.

👎 Don’t Buy This If

✖︎ You dislike PING: Frankly, the only reason you aren’t giving this wedge at least a try is because you don’t like PING wedges. Which, is fair. That is the subjective part of golf. Based on performance, PING S159 should be a wedge you at least demo.
