PING Glide Forged Pro Wedge

Released 2022$200 MSRP8.8/10 Expert Score13 tour pros

A compact, tour-inspired forged wedge crafted from 8620 carbon steel with precision-machined grooves for predictable, consistent spin from any lie. The Glide Forged Pro offers exceptional feel and control with steeper wheel-cut grooves and an Emery face blast for reliable performance in wet and dry conditions.

Key Features

  • Friction Face for Maximum Spin

    Emery-blast surface roughness between grooves creates enhanced friction at impact. Combined with precision-milled grooves, one of the highest-spinning wedges available.

  • Ultra-Compact Tour Shape

    As small as any wedge in recent memory. Maximizes versatility and shot-making. Tight to the ground for confidence to open the face.

  • Two Precision Sole Grinds (S and T)

    S grind: moderate bounce with trailing edge relief. T grind: narrower sole with 3 degrees less bounce for firm turf and tight lies. Ten loft/bounce options.

  • Forged Construction with Precision Inspection

    Each head forged with precise measurements around grooves for consistency. Soft click at impact that transitions into a muscleback feel on longer shots.
