Club Champion (TXG)

Tour-level fitting studio

Loved it

“love them very very impressive”

Ping took everything good about Glide and repackaged it in a compact tour-inspired head, and after a couple of months in the fitting bay it has become a go-to option for every style of player.

+ the facts · 9 pros · 2 cons
  • +Compact tour shape with a straightened leading edge and very little offset, so it will start showing up in mixed bags
  • +Feels solid, not clicky like the cavity-back Glide it replaces
  • +22 grooves versus roughly 17 on a traditional wedge, delivering Ping's signature spin consistency
  • −Moves away from Glide's extra perimeter weighting and forgiveness for a smaller head
  • −Fitters found strikes more comfortable with the 12-bounce S grind than the 10-bounce H for a steep player

For: Any wedge player thanks to the grind range, but especially players who want a tour-shaped head with Ping's fitting and spin consistency

“prefer to have a normal specialist wedge in my bag”

His gamer specialist lob wedge, used as the head-to-head benchmark, and the club he would still keep over the BunkR.

+ the facts · 2 pros
  • +Standard specialist lob wedge shape he trusts for all short-game shots
  • +Versatile beyond bunkers, unlike the BunkR

For: Golfers with a reasonable bunker game who want one versatile specialist wedge
