ping tour s rustique wedge

Review: Ping Tour-S Rustique Wedges

The new Tour-s Wedge have a new tuning port in the cavity which is very similar to the S56 irons.  (see Review here).  This tuning port Ping uses to create a cast club with excellent feel.  They also redistribute the weight to the perimeter for some forgiveness in a wedge.  The design, feel and over all play made me forget that these have conforming grooves.

I ordered a 52* 56* and 60* with KBS shafts to match the S56 irons.  They all have similar grinds which are on the moderate side.  I believe you can get more aggressive grind from the Ping WRX department.  They all have a great shape, and aggressive, yet conforming grooves.  I was also please with how they dug just a little but no huge divots.

 The 52* gap wedge served me well.  I was able to use it most on full shots, but from time to time to keep trajectory down on chips.  While the grind isn’t overly aggressive, I still found it to be fairly versatile.  I found this to be my 110 club every time I needed it.

The 56* is primarly my sand wedge.  This club too didn’t have any fancy grind, but it just worked.  It was able to escape the sand easily and typically with good spin.  I had many sand saves with this wedge.  I did use it too from the fairway at 100 yards.  I had very good trajectory and distance control with this wedge.

 The 60* does everything else.  I use it on full shots at 90 yards and everything inside of that.  I was really happy with this wedge even though the grind was similar to the other 2 wedges.  I could still open it up and hit the flop.  The leading edge was sharp enough to cut through the rough to extricate a ball, but didn’t dig too much on tight lies.

I was really impressed with the amount of spin that all three wedges offered.  I have sets of both non-conforming and conforming grooves.  While there is some difference I didn’t notice it much with these.  They are sharp and spin the ball nicely.   While I didn’t have many spin back, I wasn’t dealing with much roll out either.  I just always felt in control of the spin.

 Rust is a good thing on these Ping Tour-S wedges .  They look great, offer a non-glare finish and spin the ball very nicely.  For cast wedges they even felt pretty good.

Ping Tour S Wedge Review

Generated more spin with this than any other wedge.

What we say...

TG GOLD AWARD

Tested: May 2011

It seems like a long time since we did our last wedge test – in fact, it was about 16 months ago and as you’d expect a lot of new models have appeared on the market in that period. One of these is Ping’s new Tour-S model, which is a new and improved version of the Tour-W wedge that proved so massively popular.

And like their G15 driver improving on the previous G10, the new wedge might just be even better than the old model – something we didn’t think could happen. A very traditional headshape makes it a winner in the eayes of seasoned players as well as weekend golfers, and the Custom Tuning Port increases perimeter weighting for added forgiveness.

When it came to the lads’ assessment of the club, the quartet was full of praise for the Tour-S. Mike summed it up eloquently when he talked about the great feel and weight of the new club, and Chris suggested the new product took up where Ping’s previous excellent offering had left off. Chris was also incredibily accurate with the wedge, firing his shots to an average of just 3.5 yards from the pin.

In terms of feel and sound, the test team all scored the wedge highly, and it performed well from near the green and the 75-yard target. One final thing to consider – Chris generated more spin with this than any other wedge – if you want lots of control and a classy product in your bag, take a good look at this stunning piece of kit.

Results (out of 5):

Spin (56 degrees from 75 yards): 8,396 rpm   Looks: 4.5   Feel: 4.8   Sound: 4.8   Around the green: 4.5   75 yards: 4.5   Overall r ating: 4.5

How much technology is it possible to pack into the compact head of a wedge? Lots, according to Ping. As well as featuring the usual technologies such as a machined face, maximum conforming grooves and a cleverly-designed sole for maximum versatility it also includes something called a Custom Tuning Port.

An insert in the rear of the head, it increases perimeter weighting for added forgiveness. But who would need forgiveness in a wedge? The fact Ping’s Tour players such as Louis Oosthuizen, Lee Westwood and Miguel Angel Jimenez all place their trust in the Tour-S indicates even the world’s best like a bit of help.

A review of the PING Tour-S wedge review

PING have got the sole design just right here and however open you have the face, it still seems to sit right. The PING Tour-S works well on pitch shots, proving plenty of zip when the ball hits the green.

Why you can trust Golf Monthly Our expert reviewers spend hours testing and comparing products and services so you can choose the best for you. Find out more about how we test .

The stainless steel PING Tour-S wedge has a Brushed Chrome finish, while its grooves are Tour legal, promising improved control. Multiple loft/bounce combinations are available.

The face can be set open or closed but the cavity design doesn't look as good in the bag as some.

History of Leningrad Oblast

The first settlements on the territory of the present Leningrad region appeared in the 9th-8th millennium BC, after the retreat of the glacier. By the middle of the 1st millennium AD, the Finno-Ugric tribes engaged in agriculture, cattle breeding, hunting, and fishing lived here. In the 8th century, the Slavic tribes came to the region.

In the 750s, Ladoga appeared (since the 18th century - Staraya (Old) Ladoga) - the most ancient Russian settlement. In the 9th-10th centuries, Ladoga became an important political and economic center of the ancient Russian state. At the end of the 10th century, Lagoda lost this role. Novgorod became the new center.

In the 12th century, Novgorod gained political independence, and the lands on the shores of the Gulf of Finland, Luga, Neva, Ladoga, Volkhov became part of the Novgorod Republic. In the 13th-14th centuries, this region became an arena of struggle of Novgorod and Pskov Republics against the Livonian knights and Swedish feudal lords.

More historical facts…

In 1240, the famous Battle of the Neva took place in which the Novgorod troops headed by Prince Alexander Yaroslavich defeated the Swedish troops. After the battle, Alexander Yaroslavich received an honorary nickname of “Nevsky” and became known simply as Alexander Nevsky.

In the 13th-14th centuries, for the protection of the north-western borders, several new fortresses were founded: Yam, Koporje, Oreshek, Korela, Tiversky town. In January, 1478, the Novgorod Republic was conquered by the Moscow principality. The region became part of the united Russian state.

In the early 17th century, during the Time of Troubles, Russia was cut off from the Baltic Sea. The north-east of the country was captured by the Swedes. In the early 18th century, during the Northern War, Russia regained control of the region and Saint Petersburg, a new capital of the state, was founded here.

In 1708, the Ingermanland region was formed. In 1710, it was renamed into Saint Petersburg, in 1914 - Petrograd, in 1924 - Leningrad oblast. During the Second World War, a large part of the territory was occupied by the Germans and the Finns and suffered greatly. In January 1945, the population of the region was 483,000. The population before the war was 1,258,000.

In the postwar period, the regional economy was restored, a number of new towns and villages appeared. In 1973, the Leningrad nuclear power plant was opened in Sosnovy Bor.
