Ping's new Glide ES wedges: shot at the 2015 U.S. Open

[Gamble Gamble]

GG said it will be in on Monday or Tuesday.

[2012BFT]

WANT WANT WANT!!!

These look awesome and would be a ton of fun to mess around with!

[Byrdman2230]

I'm definitely picking up a 58

[cardinalluv]

can you imagine matching these up with a Ping rejuvenation of the Eye2 iron in the same brush satin finish..they would sell out the door!!

[Minarets]

What does the eye2 sole do that the regular glides can't?

[Gamble Gamble]

It automatically drops your hcp by 3 strokes, removes wrinkles and gets you the max tax return yearly.


It makes a higher effective bounce when opened up and smaller bounce when used square.

[Gamble Gamble]

Has anyone seen these in stores yet? GS and GG both don't have them around me.

Have mine in my bag!! Best wedge ever

[JOHN GOLIA]

Will have 58 ES in bag tomorrow I hope.
Cally PM 58 has been very good to me
lately since I took a little bounce off the
back.

I ordered one a couple of weeks ago. I got a call today from the shop that the wedge was in. When I got to the shop I had to that smile upside down. The shop did not order the correct shaft that I wanted. So, a call to Ping and they say they will rush one and I should have it by next Tues. I did get to look at the club first hand and it looked even better than I expected. So now I am even more excited than before. Oh, well, I guess I can wait a few more days.

I feel like ping and callaway is making their wedges bigger and bigger. Just saying.

If by bigger you mean actually larger in size than with the Glide ES I have to disagree. To my eye it actually looked fairly compact. It is certainly looks smaller than the Callaway PM grinds that I am currently using. Which by the way are really great wedges.

Had the ES in hand tonight

Wholly s***... I'm in love

Just awaiting my 58* Recoil 110 to arrive

[PowerPlayer]

I'll be in Wales, London, and Paris this week and would like to pick a 60. Would anyone know where I can go in any of these places where they would have one in stock?

Thanks!

i've tested the es 58° wedge this weekend. it preformed really really well for me in the short game area. great out of the high gras and even better out of the bunker. i can't even tell how good it was out of the bunker.
the only reason i didn't bought the wedge was, that from bare lies, the leading edge was to high for me. i just couldn't get the wedge in a good position under the ball when i opened it up.

I was told by Ping that this is the Best wedge out of the sand. I order a 56, bent to play at 55. I'm only planning on playing it out of the sand and heavy rough.

Did you try one fitted for you?

[JOHN GOLIA]

Just got the 60, bent to 59 and the 56 bent to 55.
These are so easy to bend. Very soft.
Hoping to put them in play Wednesday.

Looking forward to your review. What shafts did you get?

[Minarets]

So these are available now at retail?

[/quote]Yes, they were at an independent golf shop in my area yesterday.

[granata10]

Any Thin Sole players try the ES yet? If so what did you think?

they only had a blue dot to demo

[braincramp52]

Damn it Ping ! I thought I was done buying clubs this year. These and now the Ketsch Mid

[Cheesehead42]

I pre-ordered mine custom (maroon dot) through GG on July 15th. Ordered a 54-SS and a 60-ES. Both showed up on July 20th. I was surprised they shipped the ES so early.

I have nothing but positives to say about it. I was using Tour Gorges before with the Thin Sole. I loved the grind for chipping but it would cost me here and there on full shots if it caught it fat.

The ES sole is noticeably better (and super soft like all Glide's) on the full shots and extremely versatile around the green. I am really glad I made the purchase.

Maroon dot??? Wow. How tall are you? I'm going the other way with brown dot.

[golfnhack]

Would LOVE it if PING made an iron modeled after the ES wedge.
