Ping tour wedge users

KarstenK · February 25, 2006

Hi guys,

can anyone give me some feedback on the different feels between the finishes on ping tour wedges? I have heard some say that the blasted felt best, but what about the difference between the chrome and the black nickel?? Also how many of you play them a degree or two flatter than your irons?

thanks in advance!

First off I love the Ping Tour's. Not sure if I'm going to play them this year because I'm crazy and love tweaking my setup. But I digress.

I tried the polished finish when they first came out and did not like the feel at all. They performed, but to me, shots felt harsh. Went to the blasted finish and it was a whole new ballgame: soft and solid. To me, the black nickel chrome feels a little less lively than the blasted and maybe a little softer. I'd like the black nickel in the 58* low bounce.

Picked up two with the chrome finish last year. I have had really good results with them, but really like the new black nickel. My buddy has them, and they do feel a bit softer, but I am not sure if I will switch over this year. As for the lie, I did play them 1 degree flatter than my irons (silver wedges, maroon irons, although I am switching to MP-60s).

Just got a set of Tour Black Nickel 52* and 56* and love them. They feel so soft and put some very nice spin on the ball. I think i'm going to be using these wedges for some time now.
