I currently have a Ping Tour-W 54 degree wedge, I'm looking at adding maybe a 50 and 58 degree to complete the set.
On a well known auction site I've seen Tour-S wedges which look very similar, what is the main difference between the two?
 
Is it not the sole width - S for standard, W for wide, giving different bounce levels.
 
I'm not sure it's the sole widths, but I could be wrong. I have a 52' and 58' Tour S and I know they are slightly newer than the Tour W wedges. Maybe just a newer model? Check the bounce on Pings website, may give you a better idea.
 
Tour S replaced the Tour W.

I my opinion the Tour W was nicer and is a better looking bat. Only marginal mind you.

The new Gorge wedges as sexy. They're a different kettle of fish. They feel slightly heavier and spin like a roulette wheel.
 
I like the look of Ping's wedges but always find them a tad on the heavy side which makes controlling the swing more difficult for me.

P.S: nice to see you back Mr Ghost. Tell us... where did you spend your hiatus???
