PING Unveils New s259 Wedge Series https://ultragolfing.com/ping-unveils-new-s259-wedge-series/ https://ultragolfing.com/ping-unveils-new-s259-wedge-series/#respond Tue, 14 Apr 2026 00:43:32 +0000 https://ultragolfing.com/ping-unveils-new-s259-wedge-series/

PING has introduced the new s259 wedge series, its latest generation of tour-proven specialty wedges designed to deliver increased spin, control and versatility for golfers of all abilities.

Available for custom fitting and pre-sale now at authorised PING retailers worldwide, the s259 range features 25 loft and grind combinations across two finishes – Hydropearl 2.0 Chrome and Midnight – offering one of the most comprehensive wedge fitting line-ups on the market.

“The s259 wedges are already winning on Tour and continuing to find their way into players’ bags around the world,” said John K. Solheim, PING CEO & President.

“Players love the clean look, versatility and the ability to launch and spin shots with precise control.

We’ve refined our grinds and expanded loft options to help more golfers achieve proper gapping and improved short-game performance.”

Spin and Control Where It Matters Most

The s259 wedges feature wheel-cut grooves and a precision-machined face, combined with advanced face-blast technology to increase surface friction and maximise spin.

Higher-lofted models (54°–62°) use tightly spaced MicroMax grooves for enhanced greenside control, while 46°–52° wedges are optimised for consistency and distance control on full shots.

Extensive player testing has shown the wedges perform exceptionally well in both wet and dry conditions.

“Our wedge-face technology is designed to retain spin and control in real-world playing conditions,” added Solheim. “That consistency can provide a genuine short-game advantage.”

The Hydropearl 2.0 Chrome finish is hydrophobic, helping repel moisture at impact, while the Midnight finish offers a darker, anti-glare appearance (available exclusively in the SS grind).

Tour-Inspired Feel and Shape

Each s259 wedge is cast from 8620 carbon steel and features a larger, re-shaped elastomer insert behind the face to deliver a soft, tour-preferred feel.

Refinements to the head shape, hosel transition and full-length bottom groove create a clean, square look at address, while progressive hosel shaping helps the wedges blend seamlessly into PING’s iron line-up.

Centre of gravity placement varies by loft, ensuring lower-lofted wedges are optimised for speed and gapping, while higher-lofted models offer more visual offset to inspire confidence when opening the face around the greens.

Custom fit comes with different sole grinds

Six Grinds to Suit Every Swing

PING continues its commitment to custom fitting with six distinct sole grinds (S, H, B, T, W and E), including refinements to the popular E and T grinds and the addition of new 50°W and 52°W options.

  • S Grind – Versatile mid-bounce option suited to a wide range of players and conditions

  • H Grind – Inspired by PING WRX, ideal for softer turf and steeper swings

  • B Grind – Low-bounce design for shallow attack angles and firmer conditions

  • T Grind – Lowest effective bounce for maximum versatility on tight lies

  • W Grind – Wide sole offering maximum forgiveness for steeper players

  • E Grind – Eye2-style sole for consistent performance from bunkers and tight lies

“Finding the correct sole grind is key to unlocking wedge performance,” said Solheim. “That’s why custom fitting is so important, whether you’re a tour professional or a club golfer.”

Updated WebFit Wedge App

PING has also updated its WebFit Wedge app, allowing golfers to quickly identify the best s259 wedge setup for their game.

The browser-based tool requires no download or registration and is accessible via QR code in pro shops and at ping.com.

New Dyla-Grip for Greater Shot Control

The s259 wedges are fitted with PING’s new Dyla-Grip, featuring subtle hand-placement indicators to assist with gripping down, shaft lean and face manipulation.

The grip is ¾-inch longer with a reduced taper, designed to enhance feel and control on finesse shots around the green.

TRIED AND TESTED: PING G440 LST DRIVER https://ultragolfing.com/tried-and-tested-ping-g440-lst-driver/ https://ultragolfing.com/tried-and-tested-ping-g440-lst-driver/#respond Fri, 20 Mar 2026 08:58:47 +0000 https://ultragolfing.com/tried-and-tested-ping-g440-lst-driver/

PING has become known for creating drivers that are incredibly easy to hit. I had great results using the G430 10K last year.

I could hit it anywhere on the face and get good results. Spin wasn’t overly high, and it felt good. But it wasn’t perfect. The head was oversized and looked very busy, with all the recesses on the crown, and it didn’t have any moveable weights. The G440 LST solves every one of those issues.

The compact head (450cc) looks much more manageable behind the ball. Other than the turbulators, the crown is now smooth with a two-tone finish.

Older PING drivers could be a bit clangy, but these new carbon crown models feel so solid and balanced. And while it’s not the lowest-spinning low spin driver, the spin is very consistent, so drives are highly repeatable.

On the launch monitor, there are other drivers I might be able to hit five, even ten yards further. But I’ve never hit a driver that consistently puts me in the fairway like the G440 LST does.

I’m not playing good golf currently. I’ve got no real feel for my swing. Despite that, the majority of my drives are down the centre of the fairway.

I’ve made a couple of really bad strikes out of the toe recently, and in the past, that would often result in a duck hook. With PING’s Spinsistency design built into the toe, those hooks turn into mostly straight drives. I really have to be trying to hit the ball hard to miss the fairway by any distance.

PING introduce i240 irons for all golfers https://ultragolfing.com/ping-introduce-i240-irons-for-all-golfers/ https://ultragolfing.com/ping-introduce-i240-irons-for-all-golfers/#respond Wed, 18 Mar 2026 20:33:27 +0000 https://ultragolfing.com/ping-introduce-i240-irons-for-all-golfers/

Continuing its focus on engineering irons to fit the needs of all skill levels, PING has launched the i240 irons.

A players-style design that combines shot-making precision with score-saving forgiveness. The i240 iron is now available for custom fittings at authorised PING retailers around the world.

“The new i240 irons are engineered to appeal to a wide range of skill levels,” said John K. Solheim, PING CEO & President.

“They provide precision and control with a great feel, so they technically fit into the ‘players iron’ category.

But they also offer the MOI and higher launch of a game-improvement iron. We’ve designed it with more of a true cavity-back look to inform golfers of its forgiveness properties.

They are a great solution for avid players who like the look, feel and performance of a blade-style iron but can also benefit from added forgiveness when they aren’t as precise with their ball striking.

They pack a lot of performance into one model.”

i240 TRUE CAVITY-BACK DESIGN

A more traditional cavity design signifies the perimeter-weighting benefits of the iron while maintaining a clean, players-style look.

The cavity badge and activated elastomer technology allow PING engineers to save significant weight, which is re-allocated within the clubhead to position the center of gravity (CG) lower for more distance, increased control and higher launch.

The weight savings also increase the MOI for more forgiveness, most notably in the long and mid irons.

“The i240 iron sits in the middle of our iron offerings, so it requires us to balance a variety of performance attributes that appeal to a wider range of golfers,” Solheim said. “We’re seeing tighter dispersion and higher launch throughout the set that we know all players can appreciate.

We’re also providing more distance in a way that is predictable and repeatable to ensure it meets the precise shot-making needs of the best players in the world.”

PLEASING IMPACT EXPERIENCE

The multi-material badge, which is 8.5 grams lighter than the i230 badge, is comprised of a chrome-plated ABS with carbon fibre inlay.

The activated elastomer insert supports the face, helping to provide more efficient energy transfer across the entire face and a softer feel and pleasing sound.

TOUR INSPIRED

Balancing the needs of the top players in the world while expanding the performance features to attract a wider audience of golfers required a careful approach to the overall design.

The face technology has been updated with a return to fewer and wider grooves, a request from tour pros in search of more spin from the fairway.

The engineers also maintained the player-preferred size and shape for distance and trajectory control.

The i240’s sole design is similar to previous designs, with a rounded lead edge and ample bounce to promote smooth turf interaction for clean and solid strikes.

“Meeting the needs of our tour pros and better players is important to the success of the i240 irons,” Solheim said. “We continually seek the players’ feedback.

The groove technology is a perfect example of us learning from them. They’ve reacted favorably to the new design, including the added forgiveness and higher launch, and we’re seeing more and more go into bags every week.

Their validation of this design goes a long way in giving golfers the confidence that they can also benefit from the i240 irons and shoot lower scores.”

i240 SPECIFICATIONS

Multi-material construction: 431 stainless steel body; activated elastomer insert; chrome-plated ABS cavity badge with carbon fibre inlay; high-density toe/shaft tip weights; hydropearl 2.0 finish.

A Behind the Scenes Look at PING Golf HQ in Arizona https://ultragolfing.com/a-behind-the-scenes-look-at-ping-golf-hq-in-arizona/ https://ultragolfing.com/a-behind-the-scenes-look-at-ping-golf-hq-in-arizona/#respond Tue, 24 Feb 2026 19:19:17 +0000 https://ultragolfing.com/a-behind-the-scenes-look-at-ping-golf-hq-in-arizona/

There are nooks and crannies with cool stuff going on all over the place at Phoenix. PING
mill their PLD putters onsite, and seeing this intricate process first hand was eye opening.

But as beautiful as the putters are, we were more impressed by the PLD Lab. Putter fittings take place on a perfectly level, 45-foot, 70-ton granite putting surface.

There is nothing else like iit in the world, a literal perfect surface to putt on, while multiple cameras capture data on your stroke and the balls roll.

A custom PLD putter is an expensive bit of kit, but when you see the effort and work that goes into creating it and fitting it, it makes perfect sense.

PING PUTTING LAB

I absolutely fell in love with one prototype model, it’ll be interesting to see if it makes it to market.

There is so much more I could talk about. Hitting balls on perfect turf at the Proving Grounds.

Led Zeppelin playing on the practice ground at Grayhawk. The new shaft lab PING has in house to build prototype shafts.

Draining 30 foot breaking putts at Putting world. PING Man, their proprietary swing robot swinging for the fences.

But coming out of the trip, it was the attention to detail PING take to engineer their equipment that sticks in my mind.

Not doing stuff because that’s how it’s always been done, but looking to create the most forgiving golf equipment in golf for every level of player.

Close House to host PING Junior Masters in 2026 – Golf News https://ultragolfing.com/close-house-to-host-ping-junior-masters-in-2026-golf-news/ https://ultragolfing.com/close-house-to-host-ping-junior-masters-in-2026-golf-news/#respond Tue, 24 Feb 2026 12:57:17 +0000 https://ultragolfing.com/close-house-to-host-ping-junior-masters-in-2026-golf-news/

Close House will once again take centre stage in junior golf in 2026 as it hosts both a qualifying event and the grand final of the PING Junior Masters.

The award winning Northumberland club, recently recognised as Junior Golf Programme of the Year, continues its long standing commitment to creating meaningful competitive opportunities for aspiring golfers.

The 2026 series is set to eclipse previous years. It will feature nine qualifying events across seven counties before culminating in a full tour experience final on Close House’s Championship Colt Course on 27 October 2026.

Each qualifying event will be played off nett scores. This ensures accessibility and gives a broader range of junior golfers the opportunity to progress to the grand final.

From every venue, two boys and one girl from the Under 12, Under 15 and Under 18 categories will earn their place in the final. The result will be a diverse and inclusive field representing clubs nationwide.

Backed by PING Europe and Lee Westwood

Originally launched in 2017 alongside the British Masters at Close House, the PING Junior Masters has grown into one of the UK’s most exciting and accessible junior series.

Backed by PING Europe and supported by former Ryder Cup star and Close House Attached Tour Professional Lee Westwood, the event offers young golfers a taste of elite competition in a professional tournament setting.

“Since we launched the Junior Masters in 2017 alongside the British Masters at Close House the programme has gone from strength to strength,” said Westwood.

“I am immensely proud of how it has evolved, providing young golfers the chance to compete at some fantastic courses across the UK whilst gaining invaluable competitive experience. Congratulations PING and Close House for the award winning initiative.”

“The Junior Masters is a cornerstone of our junior pathway,” said Jonathan Lupton, Managing Director at Close House.

“It provides a competitive platform for talented young players while also supporting our wider grassroots initiatives. Our goal is not only to host great tournaments but to help create long term engagement with the sport.”

Dave Fanning, European Marketing Director at PING Europe, added: “The Junior Masters perfectly reflects what junior golf should be about, opportunity, development and enjoyment.

“We’re proud to support a series that continues to grow and create memorable experiences for young golfers.”

Grassroots impact beyond competition

Beyond competition, the initiative continues to have a significant community impact.

Through the Junior Masters programme, the Close House PGA Teaching Team delivers free coaching to more than 1,000 schoolchildren annually. The aim is to introduce golf to new audiences and strengthen the sport at grassroots level.

The PING Junior Masters Final will take place at Close House on 28 October 2026.

PING Launch New AW25 Men’s Collection https://ultragolfing.com/ping-launch-new-aw25-mens-collection/ https://ultragolfing.com/ping-launch-new-aw25-mens-collection/#respond Mon, 09 Feb 2026 13:51:51 +0000 https://ultragolfing.com/ping-launch-new-aw25-mens-collection/
PING have launched its latest AW25 men’s apparel collection, showcasing a fusion of authentic golf performance with innovative design. This range emphasises weather-ready functionality and advanced technology, while delivering a bold sense of style for the course.

PING has revolutionised its waterproof jacket lineup, by introducing three new standout designs, providing golfers a choice of performance benefits to suit their game.

The Impervious Jacket provides golfers with an ultra-soft, quiet waterproof (20,000mm), thanks to its flexible 3-layer knitted fabric an alternative to a traditional waterproof fabric that can be noisier.

It features innovative seam-free construction under the arms, ensuring enhanced overarm mobility and complete freedom of movement – perfect for tackling the elements on the course.

Engineered for highly breathable and ultra lightweight performance, the AquaDrive Jacket is crafted with a 2.5-layer performance fabric, designed for superior comfort and protection against the elements.

Its highly breathable membrane feels smooth against the skin, helping to keep the wearer cool and dry as the body warms up and produces sweat during the round.

Another exciting addition is the AquaDrive Half-Zip Jacket, made from a 2.5-layer advanced performance fabric, designed to provide comfort and protection in wet and windy conditions.

This half-zip waterproof jacket is extremely lightweight and highly breathable – the perfect waterproof pull-over for any golfer.

The AquaDrive Pant complements these two jackets, to ensure seamless flexibility and unrestricted movement.

AquaDrive Half-Zip Jacket

Designed with a reduced weight for added comfort, these pants offer exceptional performance in wet conditions without compromising mobility and are available in black or navy.

All three ‘AquaDrive’ garments have a breathability rating of 30,000 g/m2 and are waterproof to 10,000mm, offering superior levels of breathability and waterproof protection.
Astbury Blue Fusion

PING’s renowned Norse Series sees a further evolution, with the all-new Norse Cocoon Jacket – a fully insulated PrimaLoft jacket engineered for superior lightweight warmth and stretch in cold weather.

With ThermoPlume insulation in the front body and PrimaLoft Silver Active insulation in the sleeves, back and side body, it provides golfers the perfect blend of ultimate warmth and lightweight freedom of movement during the coldest rounds. The Norse Cocoon Vest also joins this elite outerwear collection and is crafted with the same design elements as the jacket, making this style the ideal layering piece for winter golf.

Another standout piece in the collection is the Astbury, a half-zip hybrid fleece that features new technology for AW25. Engineered with Clo Insulation, its zoned upper front body panel is constructed with Vivo Extreme, a patented perforation that offers extreme breathability and four-way stretch, perfect for comfort and movement in varying conditions.

Astbury Blue Fusion

This versatile layering piece is a first for PING and can be worn with the AquaDrive Jacket for added warmth and waterproof protection.

For those looking for a hooded fleece, PING has added a new style to the collection this year, the Nexa. Designed for comfort and warmth against the wind, this garment also features a water-resistant finish for added protection.

This hooded fleece is two-toned with a camouflage pattern that is knitted into the fabric for a bold contemporary look.

PING have also added newness within their polo category with two new styles. The Julian Polo features three impactful print designs: a PING Eye Mark micro dot, a multicoloured mini flag, and a brush stroke camo.

This SensorCool® polo is engineered for moisture-moving comfort in all weather conditions and is a classic garment to supplement this collection’s new mid-layers and jackets. Also new is the Creek Long Sleeve Polo, engineered for moisture-moving comfort in all conditions with its heathered SensorCool® fabric.

G440 K driver sets PING MOI record; advances forgiveness and speed to new highs https://ultragolfing.com/g440-k-driver-sets-ping-moi-record-advances-forgiveness-and-speed-to-new-highs/ https://ultragolfing.com/g440-k-driver-sets-ping-moi-record-advances-forgiveness-and-speed-to-new-highs/#respond Tue, 27 Jan 2026 18:08:13 +0000 https://ultragolfing.com/g440-k-driver-sets-ping-moi-record-advances-forgiveness-and-speed-to-new-highs/

PHOENIX – A record-setting MOI for a PING driver makes the new G440 K the company’s straightest and most forgiving model to date while delivering golfers faster ball speeds and CG-shifting adjustability for more distance, PING CEO & President John K. Solheim announced today.

The G440 K driver is available for custom fittings and pre-order at authorized PING golf shops around the world beginning today.

“We’re hearing a lot of great comments about how forgiving and straight the new G440 K driver is, which ultimately leads to more distance for the golfer,” said Solheim. “It’s fun to hear that feedback, and we’re excited to get the ‘K’ into the hands of more golfers.”

“Our record-setting combined MOI in the G440 K driver is primarily attributed to the new carbon crown and sole called Dual Carbonfly Wrap, which provides significant weight savings that are optimized elsewhere in the club. Among the key advancements from our previous highest-MOI driver, the award-winning G430 MAX 10K, is a heavier, adjustable back weight that positions the CG location for higher ball speeds and the ability to influence ball flight by moving the weight into one of three locations. Refinements to our T9S+ face structure provide higher, more consistent ball speeds across the face, leading to greater distance.”

G440 Driver Family Grows

The G440 K driver joins the G440 family of drivers (MAX, SFT, LST), each custom fit and custom built to fit a variety of skill levels.

“The ‘K’ is a great addition to the G440 driver line, providing another custom-fitting option loaded with innovations,” said Solheim. “We encourage golfers to experience a PING driver custom fitting with one of our expert fitters around the world who’ve been trained in our fitting techniques and are equipped with our fitting tools. They’ll analyze your launch-monitor results to help find the G440 driver that best fits your game. Whether it’s the new K, the MAX, the LST or SFT, there’s a PING G440 driver for every golfer.”

Dual Carbonfly Wrap Technology

Weight savings from the carbon crown and sole in the G440 K driver are re-allocated within the design, mainly into a high-density tungsten back weight, which drives the CG lower and deeper for faster ball speeds and helps achieve the record-setting MOI for a PING driver. In addition to being four grams heavier than the G430 MAX 10K, the back weight is movable to one of three positions (Draw, Neutral, Fade) to shift the CG and achieve the desired results.

“The combined MOI of the G440 K driver surpasses our previous mark and continues our pursuit of engineering the highest-performing drivers in the world,” said Solheim. “It’s a remarkable accomplishment for our engineering team to offer golfers this new level of forgiveness with the benefits of weight adjustability.”

Fast, Forgiving Face

The proven T9S+ forged face of the G440 K driver continues to evolve and brings golfers faster ball speeds for longer and straighter drives. The combination of a shallower face and refinements to the VFT shaping provide more flexing, retaining consistent ball speeds across the entire face, especially in the high heel region. Spinsistency, our variable-face-curvature innovation, helps ensure consistent spin and maintain ball velocity.

“We continue to rely on our proprietary T9S+ face technology as it gives us the highest performance and consistency for overall flexing and ball-speed retention,” said Solheim. “We don’t sacrifice speed for forgiveness. Golfers can have both. The G440 K driver is a prime example of that. It provides exceptional ball speed, delivers extremely tight dispersion and launches high with optimal spin. That translates to longer and straighter drives.”

Sound Design

Joining the Ti-811 body to the carbon crown and sole of the G440 K driver while ensuring a pleasing sound required PING’s engineering team to develop a composite crown bridge and sole ribs to stiffen the crown and sole during impact, resulting in a solid and slightly muted impact experience.

“With the addition of the carbon sole, we knew the sound characteristics of the G440 K driver would be different than previous models,” said Solheim. “Through finite element analysis (FEA), sound testing and player feedback, our engineers developed the lightweight crown bridge and sole ribs to combat any undesirable frequencies. The G440 K driver has a very pleasing and confident sound.”

G440 K HL (High Launch)

The lighter overall weight of the G440 K HL driver is an ideal build for slower-swing-speed golfers who don’t generate sufficient clubhead speed and ball velocity from traditionally weighted clubs. Custom engineered and custom built at 46″ with a lighter back weight (28g), ultra-light shafts (PING Alta Quick 35/45) and grip (Lamkin UTx Lite, 41g), the result is a lower overall system weight so golfers can swing faster and generate more ball speed for higher-launching, longer-carrying and straighter tee shots. Available in 9°, 10.5°, and 12° lofts.
