PING engineers took a grip-to-grind approach, redesigning every component of the new Glide 3.0 wedges to create a higher-spinning, more forgiving, softer-feeling, lighter overall design. They blend a players-style look at address with game-improvement performance. Multiple sole grinds, including an Eye2 sand-wedge-inspired option, allow fitters to properly match wedges to your angle of attack and most common turf conditions.
Feel, Forgiveness
A larger, softer elastomer Custom Tuning Port insert covers more of the back of the face, activating at impact to produce a soft yet solid feel. The new cavity design and larger CTP expand the perimeter weighting to increase the MOI and position the center of gravity higher to yield lower-launching, higher-spinning trajectories for more control.
Precision-Milled Grooves
Patented wheel-cut grooves have a sharper edge radius to increase interaction with the ball at impact, creating more friction for improved spin and trajectory control. The higher-lofted versions (54°, 56°, 58° & 60°) feature an extra ½ groove at the bottom of the face to impart more spin, especially around the greens
Players-Style Look
The Glide 3.0 wedge blends a players-style look with game-improvement technology. At address, it presents the clean appearance of a tour-style wedge. Offset was added based on tour player feedback to provide a more captured look.
Eye2 Sole Grind
This grind matches founder Karsten Solheim’s original groundbreaking Eye2 SW sole and face profile, offering a narrow hosel transition and progressive lead edge for the ultimate in bunker performance and touch shots around the green.
Standard Sole (SS) Grind
This mid-bounce sole with heel relief will fit most golfers. Engineered for players with a moderate angle of attack. Provides exceptional performance in a variety of turf and sand conditions.
Wide Sole (WS) Grind
The most forgiving sole through the ground as it is round and cambered with significant bounce. Recommended if you have a steep angle of attack and you typically play in soft turf and sand conditions.
Thin Sole (TS) Grind
The thin-sole grind facilitates precise shot-making and versatility from tight lies. Features extreme heel relief with a PING WRX-inspired bounce grind, making it ideal for firm conditions and a shallow angle of attack
