PING releases new wedges with improved feel and control for every imaginable shot around the green

Ping Glide 3.0 wedges

It seems like there’s no limit to technology when it comes to golf equipment these days. Behind every distance-gorging driver and every forgiving iron is some new-age technology. Don’t get me wrong, these innovations are spectacular, and now we see it again, but this time in wedges.

PING has released the Glide 3.0 wedges with deep, sharp grooves for a higher spin a lighter overall system weight for improved feel and control. And since we’re talking about innovations, these wedges have a higher MOI head.

I know what you’re thinking, isn’t MOI mainly discussed in woods? The Glide 3.0 wedges feature a more significant, softer elastomer Custom Tuning Port (CTP) which provides a softer feel and expands the perimeter weighting for increased MOI. All of that is important in these particular wedges because it produces a lower launch with higher spin for more control, everything a golfer could want around the green.

Just like there’s not one club for all golfers, there’s not one wedge for all shots around the green. And with that in mind, the Glide 3.0 wedges are offered in a multitude of lofts and four different grinds, including the classic PING Eye2 SW.

Features & Benefits: PING Glide 3.0 Wedges

Ping Glide 3.0 Wedges

Precision-Milled Grooves
Patented, wheel-cut grooves developed by PING’s engineering and manufacturing teams enable grooves with a sharper edge radius, which increases interaction with the ball at impact, creating more friction for improved spin and trajectory control. The grooves in the lower-lofted wedges (46°, 50° & 52°) are milled with a 20° sidewall and a .005” edge radius for optimal full-shot performance. The higher-lofted versions (54°, 56°, 58° & 60°) feature an extra ½ groove at the bottom of the face for added spin and are milled to a .004” edge radius and a 28° sidewall to impart more spin, especially around the greens.
