Each cell lists bounce and grind options on file for that loft; retailers and fitters may carry more.
The gap between these two comes down to fitting range against price. The Ping S259 runs from 46° to 62° across 9 lofts, with bounce from 6° to 14° and six grinds (B, E, H, S, T and W). The TaylorMade MG5 covers 46° to 60° in 8 lofts, bounce from 7° to 14°, and three grinds (HT, LB and SB). If your turf or attack angle calls for something specific, the S259 simply has more sole shapes to match how you deliver the club. The MG5 counters with a Forged head, a Raw Face and Progressive Lofts, and it costs $67.51 less per wedge at $149.99 against $217.5.
Pick the Ping S259 if a precise fit matters most and you want the widest choice of loft, bounce and grind. Pick the TaylorMade MG5 if price weighs heavier, or if a forged head and raw face are the qualities you care about. The S259 is also the newer design by a year (2026 against 2025), so the MG5 is the one more likely to turn up discounted. For most golfers watching their budget, the MG5 is the sensible buy. For a golfer who needs one particular sole shape to make the short game work, the S259 earns its premium.
