The Ping ChipR paints itself as a ‘fully engineered chipping solution that combines elements of a putter and a wedge to help golfers improve performance around the greens’. Read our full TaylorMade Hi-Toe 3 wedge review.Ultimately, this is a brilliantly balanced wedge that has a high centre of gravity for easy trajectory and distance control while the hi-toe shape delivers forgiveness on shorter shots in particular. The taller toe design, coupled with this extra relief, is particularly useful when faced with a short shot that requires you to open the face in the bunker or the rough. We really felt this at work and was able to hit those low, spinny chips, even with a lob wedge.įurthermore, on wedges of 54° and higher, full-face grooves allow for more forgiveness and spin on off-center strikes. The raised micro-ribs are positioned between the grooves to add texture to the face for increased friction and therefore spin around the green. Whether over the ball or just sitting in the bag, it's a feast for the eyes and will blend in with the Raw face as it rusts over time. The first thing to say is that this wedge, with its aged copper finish, looks incredible. Only one bounce option available in the low and mid lofts Read our full Ping Glide 4.0 Wedge Review.This could well have been down to the new Emery face blast, which adds a little more friction to the hitting surface. Even when hitting shots that came off a little hotter and lower than expected, the ball sat to attention quicker than most new wedges. Most impressive, however, was how easy it was to spin the golf ball. It is undoubtedly one of the best sand wedges on the market due to its forgiveness from various lies and distances. Finally, unique to Ping’s line-up is the Eye2 sole, which is available in lofts from 54°-60° and is described as the ultimate bunker club - a theory we put to the test. Turf interaction was exceptional on short shots, making it one of the best wedges for chipping we've ever tested. The versatile SS (standard sole) offers relief for golfers with a moderate angle of attack and looks a little smaller than the prior version on the Glide 3.0.īut the WS (wide sole) is where we enjoyed the most success. There are four sole options to choose from - WS, SS, TS and Eye2 - which we took advantage of. It also has the classic Ping Hydropearl 2.0 chrome finish, which reduces glare as well as flyers from the rough in damp conditions while also adding a touch of style to the aesthetics. The Ping Glide 4.0 wedge looks exceptional - especially in the more traditional teardrop shape that is available in three of the four sole options.
