The ifrothgolf review
In-depth reviewRead our full PING S259 Wedge review8.7/10PING's 2026 wedge line, refining the S159 with new grooves, six grinds and Chrome or Raw finishes from 46° to 62°.
What's great
Tightly-spaced MicroMax grooves add greenside spin, it's plug-and-play consistent in bunkers and full swings, and it's a credible Vokey rival at a fair price.
Worth knowing
It's an evolution of the S159, not a revolution — if your current wedges still have sharp grooves you won't feel much, so buy on wear, not the badge.
The verdict
One of 2026's best wedges and the category where 'new' is genuinely justified — replace worn grooves with these and you'll get spin back.
