The PING s259 is PING's most extensive wedge offering ever, with 25 loft/grind combinations across six grinds. Cast from 8620 carbon steel, the s259 features refined shaping that frames the ball for confident low-flight control, wheel-cut grooves with loft-specific dimensions, and MicroMax groove spacing on higher lofts for enhanced greenside spin. A larger elastomer insert improves feel, while Hydropearl 2.0 Chrome repels moisture for wet-condition consistency.
