The Ping Tour-S wedges made their debut last week at the Players Championship giving Ping staffers first shot at using the new Tour-S wedge in an event.
The New Ping Tour-S wedge is made of 8620 stainless steel which is softer than previous ping wedges. Produced using a finish that reduces wear but even more interestingly will wear with time and use. Currently PING uses 1704 SS in wedges and those are a bit more durable compared to 8620.
Ping incorporated a longer hosel in the Tour-S design moving the CG closer to the heel which should give the player a flatter more accurate trajectory. The bottom or first groove is parallel with the leading wedge and painted weight to help the golfer align the club to the ball easier.
Behind the face the Tour-S wedge features that polymer insert to soften impact like the S-57 and Tour-W wedges have. These are only available with the new 2010 USGA conforming grooves and are expected to go on sale in the U.S this summer.

wat shaft options do wedges come in?
it comes standard which a steel shaft but you could get ur pro in you local shop to put a graphite shaft in but if you have a high swing speed youll need a graphite
Actually its just the opposite… If you have a high swing speed you will need a steel shaft
They rock. Titlest Vokey’s are out of my bag. I prefer the solid MOI on these that help me achieve more fluid swing pacing.
Just purchased Tour-s 58*\10 Playing tomorrow will let you know how it goes.
