Black Nickle Chrome S-59s???

sandy · November 8, 2005

A golf pro I know just got back from last weeks tour of Karsten Mfg. They got to see all the usual which was very impressive. He did ask about producing a set of S-59s in Black Nickel Chrome like the Tour Wedges. He was told by high ups and Wrx that was the most requested option they have had in a long time. So much so they are now studying how to get it done. Lots of logistics I guess since the finish is put on elsewhere and they must finish/polish the heads first and make sure the heads are the correct weight so the chrome finish doesn't goof up the final SW. They would have to make a guess as to how many sets they could sell before they can go forward. I was also told if you ask for a custom grind on a Black Nickel Tour Wedge you will get it without the Black Nickel Chrome where they had to grind---just to complicated to send them back to rechrome them where they are ground. Good news that rather than a flat NO they are seriously considering it. Should help al lot with some of the rust problems.

A Black Nickle Chrome set of S-59s would look sweet! Hopefully there are some Ping employees reading the board, and they can try and make it happen.
