I NEVER CONSIDERED PING... UNTIL NOW!?

[@JamesRobinsonGolf]

Please accept my apologies for some of the camera work in today’s video. I tried changing a setting and fair to say it didn’t work. I changed it back towards the middle of the video though so stay tuned! Every day is a school day! Thanks again for the support! ⛳️🎥

[@richardsdiaz1]

My son and I greatly enjoyed this video James! No worries! Except he’s begging me for one of these now…so thanks for that. Lol

[@marcuspendleton6102]

Same here sir. After your fairway review… the 425 woods and driver are in the bag.

[@brucehubbell3526]

James I like all your club reviews when you do them, and, can say like them better when there on course reviewed than trackman reviewed. How they work on course in real conditions is more informative than in a room with perfect conditions and artificial turf. Would like to see you giving on coarse teaching on occasion to help non pro or scratch golfers. Thanks James thumbs up again!

[@davedelacy]

I liked Ping Wedges for a very long time, when to club fitter to test new clubs to see if they would be improvement over what I had, found needed to change the shafts in my ping irons, got new Cleveland CBX2 Wedges what a difference, other clubs were changed and now all of my shafts will be the same, except Driver and Fairway, as no change was made. James your channel appeals to the average golfer, so lets stay with game improvement equipment. If we were that good we would be playing player clubs.

[@tommiethatcher7265]

Definitely the best club review chap on KZbin in my opinion, the passion you have when reviewing equipment is unrivalled and once again this one doesn’t disappoint

[@waynecalvert206]

Love comparison on srixon n Pro v actually gone bk to srixon zv tried tp5 pix but found it hard feel on putting am I right?

[@rickcudmore8156]

Since I play cavity backed irons, I purchased the Cleveland CBX2 54* wedge in black. It replaced my Ping Glide which had been worn out.

[@JebJones]

I’m a big fan of the black finish myself. I’m looking into getting a 56 degree and the black finish is a factor for me. Love that you film in the rain!

[@graemesmith3117]

Some clubs look great in black! Think I would like the black finish, just not on the face. Solely because I hate the look of a used club lol

[@michaelackley1560]

Playing 60 deg. Mizumo T 20 6 deg bounce. Love it.

[@ballzie63]

Appreciate the review as always! I grabbed the Mack Daddy CB wedges knowing I need more forgiveness still. But it’s nice to see what some of the lower bounce/tour grind styles can allow for more shot types

[@permagnusson1080]

Why make the game harder than it already is, got fitted for I210 Irons with Glide 3.0 SS wedges, love the feel and the forgiveness of those iron and wedges. The short game suddenly feels a lot more simple. Used to play blades, never going back to them again.

[@Johnlancaster]

I use the glides in 50 and 54 and they are perfect

[@StephenParsey]

Liked for the juggling catch on the neck. Stayed for the “It does actually seem to do what Ping says it does, which, for modern golf clubs is quite rare.” 😜

[@jpxst180s6]

Very brave using a lob wedge with 6 bounce , I swapped from 10 to 12 this year and it’s made unbelievable difference 👍

[@James_Vaughn]

Looks like a great offering for those with good short game skills, and very deep pockets.

[@AFL67pitt]

Can’t say what the 60 does but my 50 out performs Srixon ZX 5 set U wedge in spin and distance. And the 54 is also miles above my old Ping Glide 2.0 I’ve been playing for about 6 years

[@cillianwalsh2221]

Just bought a pair of golf shoes today. Thanks for helping me get into golf james

[@stephendibari5010]

You’re better off with the SS or WS grinds. I have the Glides 3.0 54 SS 12 deg bounce and 58 WS. 14 deg. Bounce. BEST wedges I’ve ever owned ! Tempted to try out the Eye Soles. Maybe next season

[@robertphillips8492]

James, I still play my Taylormade Burner Lob wedge............Just almost chipped one in Today from 30 yards

[@wajopek2679]

Use a 60 and 54 degree Glide 2.0 in Black with i200's. The black has stood up very well over 2.5yrs. Time for some new ones but I need black :( so it might be Glide 2.0 again if available.

[@richardsdiaz1]

My 9 year old son and I just finished watching this together as we get ready to go out for a round of golf and now he wants one! Looks like Ping Ping has made a really great Wedge! Don’t know about that T Grind though! I have an S grind SW, and an M grind LW in SM8s…and that’s as low as I want to go! I’d look at similar grinds in these Pings though! Great video! 9 year old approved!

[@JamesRobinsonGolf]

Thanks lefty! How is Mikeys golf coming along? And yeh this is a lovely wedge, not sure if I’m ballsy enough for it in T going either!

[@richardsdiaz1]

[@alecmichie2081]

Great looking wedge, not sure if it would replace my Cleveland RTX 60 degree which I love - what is the price, is it as expensive as the new i59 irons ?. You asked us to bare with you during this video, now although I enjoy your vlogs and like you James it is not in that way so I am not going to get naked to watch your videos 😂. By the way what has happened to the Robinsons Off Course? I have missed seeing the stars of the show (the lovely Laura and Jameson)

[@adriancox-thesantjordigolf3646]

Always used a ping berillium copper anser and one and two Zing 2 irons. These look nice. Will they beat the Vokey?

[@DavidThomas-bv5nz]

Interesting that all manufacturers bring out equipment that is basically not designed for 99% of amateur golfers. Personally I want equipment that I can use off my 14 handicap, I don’t play with ego thinking I need the blades or the xstiff shafts etc, and that goes the same for wedges. The wedges and the i59 blades are absolutely lovely but I’ll take myself off to the corner and have a word with myself and remind myself I play for ‘fun’ and thank god I don’t rely on my golf to pay my mortgage!!

[@DavidThomas-bv5nz]

Totally about money, the best part of it is that people will buy these and then realise it’s not for them and either sell it on/part ex or throw them in a garage where they will never see light of day! And yes before anyone pulls me up, I have been very guilty of doing the same over the years!

[@kimhannemann]

Also note the grooves are closer to the bottom than the Vokey. Seems helpful. Also, I simply see NO reason for NOT going full face with the grooves like TaylorMade and Cleveland - what good is the ungrooved part of the face?

[@thisispw]

If the course is firm the pro and on that course the sm8, all about the bounce surely.

James, you’re lucky you have “friends” @ Ping. I was trying to get a new Ping Glide 58 or 60 but was being quoted crazy waiting times (something to do with covid *& Brexit apparently) so ended up replacing my vokey 58 with a Mac Daddy 60

[@MrPostman900]

Chris watched the first minute or so of this video and rolled his eyes so hard the tides briefly changed.

[@ryantoole2327]

Hi James -- I loved your videos on the Ping G425 series and ended up buying a set of the irons! Just flagging that in the video description you note Ping G410s came out in 2021 and not the G425 series. I wish there was private message feature, because this just crowds up your public comment area ... but anyway just flagging. Thanks again for the video.

[@johnnewman7605]

I'd stick with the vokey

[@robertphillips8492]

Btw Last week I chipped one in from 30 yards last week!!!!!!! with my Taylormade Burner Lob wedge

[@Johnlancaster]

Love wedge videos, despite the fact that the vast majority would be better off with the wedges from their GI iron set because they aren’t tour pros 😂

[@TheSas1967]

How much of your difficulties can you attribute to just not knowing the wedges? I'd think making any kind of change like this would require some adjustment/learning. JM2C

[@joeygreear7099]

I’m going to have to try these

[@jeffnahass8373]

Oh, BANANA OIL!!! Any new wedge is like Buddha!! It’s a brand thing I like both

[@kevochanner8859]

I would say 6 is too low for a wet sand and spongy grass England. Probably as said below 10 -12 bounce. I have 8 degrees bounce on sand and lob but I’m in Australia with hard sand and tight fairways.

[@davidwhittington9498]

[@nigelstokesmoorhouse2899]

Nice club I'll not be getting one though,unless I come up trump's on the lottery ,I'll stick with my £ 10 lob wedge in the black ,gets me out of trouble from the cabbage rough rather well and does well round the greens and bunkers

Looks great......but you can't beat the Callaway CB out of the bunker or the Cleveland CBX2 for pitching or chipping. Hackers clubs? perhaps but the amount of shots you will save with them.......nobody laughs when you are taking their money lol

[@AFL67pitt]

Well of course the Volkey you USE will beat out a new wedge. I’m sure if you used Cleveland Wedges regularly they would also beat out a new Ping in your hands for the first time

[@robertphillips8492]

I like Forgiveness!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Bozzy_Wazzy]

New clubs don’t change the fact that short game comes down to practice and repetition. It’s all about consistent contact, knowing how to control your distance and spin, and ball flights. All new clubs have to meet USGA standards and the only differences you really see in spin between wedges over the last 15 years is due to how sharp and new the grooves are. These kinds of videos are repetitive and over done… I’d much rather see a series that talks through player mind sets and decision making differences on the course between the different skill levels of players

[@troyrambo6804]

All wedges, no matter the finish wear over time. That's why they make new ones. Bunkers destroy wedges, general chipping has next to no wear on a wedge. I have 4 sets of wedges, different grinds and brands, depending on the season and how wet or dry the courses are. No one set is perfect year round IMO. Diversify!!

[@michaellepatourel2148]

I'm quite surprised you keep saying "could these go in my bag" when you know that they will not. I have watched you since almost the beginning and you clubs never change really even when you get equal or slightly better numbers ( based on your videos so if you see something trending different later we wouldn't be able to see it). Driver : TM/Callaway Fairway: TM/Callaway ( yes I know I was just as shocked as you, that you are in playing a Titleist) Driving iron: P790 Irons: Mizuno Wedges: Vokeys/ TM If it is not that, then it won't go in your bag. So why say it anymore.

[@paulaskey1508]

This is not a slight against you, I really like your videos but I assume it was just an accident that you didn’t mention that each wedge cost TWO HUNDRED POUNDS ! You are obviously a lot closer to the industry than a hacker like me but where are these positively obscene costs for new kit going to end ?

Things cost money? I’m not saying they’re not expensive. But without me moaning about money in every video on a premium product there’s not a lot I can really do.
