A handful of the NCG team are Ping enthusiasts so I was keen to get my hands on the new wedges and see what all the fuss is about. You can watch my Ping Glide 3.0 wedges review here…

Ping Glide 3.0 wedges review: First impressions
The Ping Glide 3.0 wedges come with four different sole designs, I have tested two out – the standard sole and the Eye 2.
The standard sole features a mid-bounce sole with heel and trail edge relief. In comparison the Eye 2 matches original Eye 2 SW sole profile, hosel transition and high toe shape.
Ping Glide 3.0 wedges review: The technology
Compared to the previous model the wedges have a more rounded head profile.
The hosel is also tapered and more offset to provide better ball capture. The wedges are designed to be the most forgiving yet with 5% more MOI than the previous Glide 2.0 wedges.
Wheel-cut grooves are sharper and deeper to increase friction and provide maximum spin and control. This is combined with a bottom half groove which increases spin approximately 1,000rpm in 54, 56, 58 and 60° models.
The club has been made 15 grams lighter with weight savings behind made across all elements of the club.
The face includes a elastomer insert for soft feel with the clubs being designed to provide lower launch with higher spin. While the Hydropearl 2.0 finish repels water and reduces friction through turf.
The range offers four different sole designs, standard sole (SS), thin sole (TS), wide sole (WS) and Eye 2.
