When it comes to feeling and precision, we already know that Ping is one of the leaders in the industry. The Ping Glide 4.0 wedges were a highly anticipated release. The Glide wedge series are known for being some of the best-looking and more responsive wedges on the market. If you are ready to upgrade your Ping wedges or think it may be time for a transition over to Ping, we have all the information you need about the new Ping Glide 4.0 wedges.
Ping Glide 4.0 Wedges (Features and Benefits)
Ping always clarifies that they will not release a new club to the market unless they have had a significant change in technology. Take a look at what you can expect from the new Ping Glide 4.0 wedges.
Carbon Steel Body
The Ping Glide 4.0 wedge is made with 8620 carbon steel and a new Elastomer CTP Insert. The reason for the insert is to provide a softer yet more reactive feel at impact. Golfers will feel like they have control over where the shot is going to go but that they are still getting high MOI from the club face. The result is better spin and a shot that lands close to the hole.
Compact Shape
The Ping Glide 4.0 wedges have always had a very clean look to them. Although there are grind options for any player or condition, the Glide series has often appealed to the mid to low handicap players. The rounded compact design has one of the cleanest leading edges in the game; if looks of the wedge matter to you, the Ping Glide 4.0 has you covered.
Textured Hitting Surface
Getting spin on your wedge shots requires some traction and friction at impact. The new Emery Face Blast technology allows the wedge to have a more textured look and feel. The idea here is that with the extra texture, the launch will be kept a little lower while still increasing the spin rates tremendously.
Grind Options
The great thing about the new Ping Glide 4.0 wedges is that they are made for golfers that need to hit both full swing and partial shots. Mixing of the different grind options in the bag allows you to put together a set of wedges that are a perfect fit for the needs of your game. Between the loft and grind options, the possibilities are endless with this new Ping Glide series.
