Spotted: Raw Ping S159 wedges in Harris English’s bag

We posted photos earlier this week from the RSM Classic of new Ping S159 wedges, and it turns out Harris English has been testing them for a little while now. Ping looks to be offering a bunch of grinds with its new wares, and players are noticing.

We caught up with English ahead of the event in Georgia and asked him about his new raw S159 wedges.

“Man, they’re good. I like the raw look…I haven’t had that in a while. And really just in the 60. They have so many more different grinds, which is great. Every player is different and they have kind of a good base to start with and you can kind of start working off that. So they have a lot more options.”

The new Ping wedges look to have a classic and compact shape, but also an insert in the back that we can assume will dampen vibration for a softer sound and feel. Ping isn’t giving us any details yet on the new wedges, so we’ll have to speculate. In Harris’s bag, he has been testing out four of the new Ping wedges and thinks he will be putting them in play this week at the RSM Classic.

With all the new sole options Ping is offering, it is interesting to see how a player gets into his wedges. We asked Harris about that process and how he got into his four wedges.

“I tried everything. Hit different shots. Hit the tight lie, hit the flop shot, hit it out of the rough, hit it out of the bunker. You just kind of hit all the shots you’re going to have and kind of see what works best.”

Below is Harris English’s wedge setup at the RSM Classic.

46 degrees, S-Grind, 12 degrees of bounce

52 degrees, S-Grind, 12 degrees of bounce

56 degrees, S-Grind, 12 degrees bounce

60 degrees, T-Grind, 6 degrees of bounce

Slab city on the Korn Ferry Tour — Lead Tape Report

This week, we have our Tour Photographer, Greg Moore, on the ground at the OccuNet Classic at Tascosa Golf Club in Amarillo, Texas, for the 14th event of the 2026 Korn Ferry Tour season. With that, we see some great things in the Lead Tape Report as we roll into Amarillo.

Joel Thelen

Monday Qualifier, Joel Thelen is in the field this week. He has played on the Korn Ferry Tour for a full season in 2023, and he is back in action this week. A couple of clubs caught my eye this week in his bag.

First off: His trusted Titleist 816 H2 hybrid. This club came out in October of 2015, and it still remains strong in the bag. Also, take a look at this Odyssey White Hot OG 7, putting a capital S in the 7S model. This custom neck has some impressive lean for an arm-lock-style putter. The bottom of the putter is covered in tape for optimal weighting.

Mitchell Meissner

Taking a look at Mitchell Meissner’s bag this week, we have some great lead tape coverage. Top to bottom working from fairway metals, irons, and wedges. We can see on the short irons and wedges that there is tape at the base of the grip, adding a little counterbalance. Along with that, some tape on the short irons and wedges as well. Moving to his putter, he rolls the Odyssey 7 Bird putter. Meissner putts left-handed and strikes the ball right-handed.
