I'M IN LOVE! | Ping S159 + Edel SMS + PXG Sugar Daddy II + Mizuno T24 | Wedge Test + Review

[@tylerscott9537]

T24’s all day. Can get the raw finish, comes stock with the TT TI s400 shaft, plenty of grind and bounce options and is one of the lower priced quality wedges on the market. Plus it’s forged in Japan like the MP series irons.

[@TheEquipmentJunkie]

They are super solid and I totally agree! Having S400 TI stock is absolutely awesome. What does your ideal T24 setup look like in terms of lofts/grinds/finish?

[@tylerscott9537]

Gotta go raw finish. I would go 50.08 S, 54.10 S, 58.10 V. With that said I don’t see my Cleveland RTX zip-core (5’s) leaving the bag, the full face 58 has really grown on me.

[@jonathandeboer74]

I went with the Denim Copper finish! 48.10s - 54.10s @ 53 - 58.10v I have them 2* flat with the DG S300 matching my MP 243’s.

[@njosephg]

T24's arent lower priced. I mean they are cheaper by $9 a wedge vs SM10's LOL

[@tylerscott9537]

I specifically called out raw finish in both of my comments. For Mizuno the raw finish is the same price as all the other finishes at $180. However, to my point to get the comparable vokey wedge in a raw finish would be $225. If you want the same shaft, TT Tour Issue s400, that’s another $35. So no it is not only $8 dollars more. LOL

Tremendous video again. I recently changed over to PXG wedges and love them more over Vokey which I played for many years. As you mentioned, the spin is off the charts. Didn’t have any issues changing to a full face grooved wedge. Feel is incredible for me over Vokey. Finally as far as “limited” bounce options w PXG. I had my Vokeys dialed in w bounce playing in northeast which was fine. As soon as I went south to play courses in Florida, Carolina’s, etc, I got killed. The grass fluctuations on where I played really impacted my short game negatively. When I recently went back down south w my new PXG wedges they performed 100 times better than my old Vokeys. I think unless you have access to a tour van when showing up to the course to have someone properly grind your wedges depending on grass and conditions the proper bounce on a wedge goes out the window for the most part. I feel PXG at least gives you a happy middle ground here. Great video 👍🏻

[@TheEquipmentJunkie]

Thanks a ton Scott! Appreciate your detailed thoughts and I totally agree! The PXG’s having a bit more bounce works really well with the grainy bermuda in the south. Also, yes they are super spinny and makes it really fun to hit certain shots knowing you can stop it quickly!

[@jackwest5295]

The PINGS Rule..tried everything over the years.. ..played the Glide 4.0 last year.and now the s159.. 50..56.. and e2. for Bunkers and Bermuda grass ..unreal.. very happy....Wedges are so Personal. to your feeling.. you have to try them ALL..

[@TheEquipmentJunkie]

Love that setup! I really want to mess with an Eye2 S159 60* at some point. Did you ever have the chance to test the Callaway PM Grind against the Eye2 design? If so, what did you think?

[@jackwest5295]

@@TheEquipmentJunkie yes tried the pM Grind.. nice .. like the original concept, but still prefer th pings Glide 4.0 and new S159, E2 @ 56.. It works better for me than the 58.. but also have a Glide 4.0 .60.*which I use sometimes. they just feel so soft".

I had gastric bypass surgery, and can no longer play golf due to leakage. Watching your golf gives me joy

[@TheEquipmentJunkie]

Thanks Gio! I really appreciate hearing that and hope your recovery goes well ❤️

[@lorimeyers3839]

I’ve played Vokeys for years but decided to pull the trigger on a couple new T24 wedges that were on sale for only $99. Raw finish. Pitching wedge bent to 44 degrees and a lob wedge in the V grind. I really like the shaft and the wedge feels like it wants to square the face up at impact every time on full shots with the pitching wedge. The lob wedge is really nice, feels great. I’m really happy with them. They feel better than the Vokeys.

[@GolfGunsNGears]

Mizuno doesn't have interchangable weights but they have what they call "B heads" which are light weight versinos for over length builds. They are generally 6-7 grams than the standard head or 3-3.5 swing weight points lighter. Most people don't know about this but definitely a good fitting option especially if you play over length irons and wedges.

[@manatic4063]

Got 4 S159 wedges from 46 to 60 and i love them. After adding them to the bag i improved my game from 100m in quite a bit, but they are not cheap!

[@tguy39]

S159 probably the best wedge I’ve ever played. Defiantly try out different grinds and bounces as you mentioned.

[@mikelee5390]

Great Video!

[@TheEquipmentJunkie]

Thanks Mike! Which wedge are you favoring out of this lineup?

[@ricemonster84]

I’m impressed with the your knowledge and attention to detail ! Great works! I love the views at address, other channel don’t do it enough

[@TheEquipmentJunkie]

Thanks for the support, means a lot!

[@Captainchaos14]

those pings may be the next best wedges behind the rtx 6’s

[@TheEquipmentJunkie]

RTX 6’s are such a fantastic wedge as well! Have you tested the new RTX Full Face yet?

[@benspeer1752]

I sucked at chipping until I put the s159’s in the bag. These things feel like cheat codes

[@TheEquipmentJunkie]

They really are awesome and I think might be gaming a full set here at some point in 2024! What does your setup look like in terms of lofts/grinds/finish/specs?

[@Tywithay]

Gotta move the weights on the SMS to find your ideal setup. I use my 50* all the time around the greens and it spins back.

[@TheEquipmentJunkie]

Had weights in same position as what worked for me with the SMS Pro irons 👍

[@Tywithay]

@@TheEquipmentJunkie are the rest of your wedges set up like irons?

[@TheEquipmentJunkie]

@@Tywithay If you mean spec wise, yes my irons and wedges are built the same.

[@tyrre8060]

There was a weight missing on the back of the 60 though? 100% sure that is why your results were skewed. You should do it again with all 3 weights in it and it will definitely improve the performance of the club.

[@cardiderek]

which one did best with the tai spinner?

[@CoryLancasterYT]

Did you consider adjusting the weights in the SMS?

[@TheEquipmentJunkie]

Had weights in same position as what worked for me with the SMS Pro irons 👍

[@gwalker8932]

T24 wedges for me

[@mattstoremangolf4]

MG4, SM10, or S159? MG4 for me all day long

[@Captainchaos14]

s159 by far. sm10 and mg4 feels like i’m chipping with a cinder block

[@TheEquipmentJunkie]

Really tough one here! Look/face of S159, feel of MG4 and finish/grind options of SM10 would be ideal for me! What does your MG4 setup look like in terms of lofts/grinds/finish/specs ?

[@mattstoremangolf4]

@@TheEquipmentJunkie All raw finishes, all 2 degrees flat. 50/09, 54/11 bent to 55/12, and 60/09 with a little shaved off the heel. PX 6.5 in the 50 and 55, PX 6.0 in the 60. Easily the best feeling wedges I have hit across all brands. Hated TM wedges until they came out with the MG3s and I think they did even better with the MG4s. Old TM wedges were rock hard, I find these to be actually quite soft and responsive which I like. I just wish they had zero offset like the S159s is my only complaint. But it's very minimal.

[@mattstoremangolf4]

@@Captainchaos14 S159 is firmer than the MG4 and SM10 in my opinion by a little bit. Did you test with exact same shafts?

[@kepler240]

5:17 The guy waiting in the cart to the left is wondering why this guy is hitting so many balls and talking so much.

[@TheEquipmentJunkie]

Lol! Fortunately that is my cart 👍

[@kepler240]

@@TheEquipmentJunkie hah. Makes sense. I didn't think you had that bad of course etiquette.

[@suprand]

So s159 or mg4??

[@TheEquipmentJunkie]

Tough call! MG4 straighter lines, raw face, 2 finishes, 7 grinds. S159 more traditional shape, hydrapearl face, 2 finishes, 6 grinds. I prefer shape and face of Ping, but the feel and grinds of TM personally. So it’s a really hard one for me! Which one do you prefer?

[@williag1970]

Just waiting for my new Ping Blueprint S irons to arrive. Might consider the s159 wedges to replace my SM8’s

[@TheEquipmentJunkie]

@@williag1970 I’m super excited to test the Blueprints here soon, T/S combo set might be awesome imo!

[@bryansmith7490]

PXG over the Mizuno, but not as good as the Cleveland RTX 6.

[@TheEquipmentJunkie]

RTX 6’s are great! Have you had a chance to test the new RTX Full Face yet?

[@bryansmith7490]

Not to date, but I will very soon.

[@stewmanchew6383]

Ping fanboy ping wedges are a joke !!!!

[@kepler240]

Wrong, I have the best...and it's a Ping i3+ gold dot sand wedge with a stiff graphite shaft. And my trusty ole 1988 Pinseeker TPW 60 degree wedge I bought new is the best bunker club ever made. I probably just raised a few eyebrows...but it's true.

[@jordanbachmeier1768]

When was the last time you sharpened your grooves?

[@kepler240]

@@jordanbachmeier1768 Long time ago. Accidentally put grooves where there weren't any before. Still razor sharp. Leaves a white circle on the face everytime I hit the 60.

[@RealDougFields]

Thanks for nothing- you did not tell me anything that is not in the press release for that wedge. The ranking was somewhat helpful but the Ping winning is nothing that wasnt expected given the track record for Ping.
