These Glide 4.0 wedges have transformed my short game. Got the 54° W grind and 58° S grind. The forgiveness is unreal — even my mishits around the green get decent results. The wide sole on the 54 just glides through turf without digging. Spin is excellent too, balls actually check up on the green now instead of rolling 20 feet past.","date":"2024-03-15","sentiment":"positive"},{"productId":"prod_083","source":"Amazon","sourceUrl":"","author":"ScottyPines","rating":5,"text":"Had the Glide 3.0 for two years and loved them. The 4.0 is a refinement, not a revolution, but the milled grooves definitely generate more spin. Feel is a touch softer thanks to the bigger elastomer insert. If you're a PING iron player, these match up perfectly. The Z-Z115 shaft is great too.","date":"2024-06-02","sentiment":"positive"},{"productId":"prod_083","source":"Amazon","sourceUrl":"","author":"WeekendWarrior88","rating":4,"text":"Performance is excellent. Spin, feel, consistency — all top notch. My only gripe is the price. At $180+ per wedge, buying a set of 3 gets really pricey. But you get what you pay for. The W grind is a bunker machine.","date":"2024-01-20","sentiment":"positive"},{"productId":"prod_083","source":"Amazon","sourceUrl":"","author":"JT_Florida","rating":5,"text":"Got the 56° Eye2 grind and it's the most forgiving bunker club I've ever used. The concave sole just floats through sand. I went from dreading bunker shots to being confident in them. Highly recommend for mid-to-high handicappers who struggle in the sand.","date":"2023-11-08","sentiment":"positive"},{"productId":"prod_083","source":"Amazon","sourceUrl":"","author":"DisappointedDave","rating":2,"text":"Coming from Vokey SM9s, the feel of the Glide 4.0 is noticeably firmer. The elastomer insert helps but it's still a cast wedge and it plays like one. For the price PING charges, I expected forged feel. Spin and consistency are good but I just don't enjoy the feedback. Returned and went back to Vokeys.","date":"2024-02-28","sentiment":"negative"},{"productId":"prod_083","source":"Reddit r/golf","sourceUrl":"","author":"u/Apart-Championship37","rating":4,"text":"Playing the Mizuno T22s now. Before the Mizzys I played SM8s. Considering going back to Vokeys but I've heard a lot of very good things about the Glides. Just looking to see what other peoples opinions are.","date":"2022-11-17","sentiment":"negative"},{"productId":"prod_083","source":"Amazon","sourceUrl":"","author":"ScratchGolferTX","rating":3,"text":"These are forgiving wedges, which is great for most golfers. But as a scratch player, I found them too chunky behind the ball and the lack of workability bothered me. The S grind is the most versatile but it's still bigger than a Vokey or Mizuno. If you're a single digit who likes to manipulate shots, look at the PING s159 or Glide Forged Pro instead.","date":"2023-12-05","sentiment":"neutral"},{"productId":"prod_083","source":"Amazon","sourceUrl":"","author":"SkepticalShopper","rating":3,"text":"The Hydropearl chrome looks great out of the box but after 10 rounds it looks like I've had it for 3 years. Bag chatter marks everywhere. Performance is fine but for $180 I expect better durability on the finish. My Vokeys held up much better cosmetically.","date":"2024-04-08","sentiment":"neutral"}],"total":8}
