This is without a doubt the single best wedges i have ever used. I have tried the clevelands and found them to get too much spin and they were terrible with pitch shots but the nikes were great with anything. They felt nice and soft and got the right amount of spin, the shaft felt good and their wasnt too much weight in the head like the clevelands. Were great for flop shots and everything around the greens and delivered the perfect trajectory and distance control for pitch shots. GO OUT AND BUY SOME NOW!!!!!

Nike 58° Wedge
Took a while to get used to it, but once I masterd a few of the shots I purchased it for, it became an extremly vesatile addition to my bag. I also like the 14 degrees of bounce...very soft feel with tons of control. Customer Service great |

Nike Forged 60 Wedge
I've played a lot of different wedges, but this is my favorite 60 degree I found. When I was looking I planned to buy either a Cleveland 588 RTG (like my 53 and 56) or a Callaway, but found that the Nike just felt better. In 6-7 rounds, it's become my most used wedge (replacing my 53 as my utility club). It has a super feel for chipping, pitching or from sand. Customer Service No Experience...

I've tried all sorts of wedges over the years. The Nike 58 degree wedge is great and works well in combo with their 53. The 58 has a superb, soft feel. I'm now also working to include the 62 degree in my set. It comes in handy when I short side myself (often enough). For whatever reason though, it just doesn't have the same feel as the less lofted wedges - it feels thinner, probably because it has so little bounce. And carrying one more wedge forces me to give up yet another club. When the 62 saves a stroke, it feels well worth it - when you need that iron you left behind to carry the 62, it makes you wish you could carry one more club. BTW, the Nike wedges are very easy to ding and wear out rather quickly - I don't mind that, but it might bother a more frugal person. (I've tried the other Nike wedges listed - they feel fine, but they just don't fit into my game). Customer Service What's that?

nike 56 degree wedge
I purchased a used 56 degree wedge after trying out cleveland and mizuno products. The bounce is perfect from the sand traps and will produce significant amount of spin/bite. Easy to chip/pitch from the second cut or short rough. It is about ten yards longer than any wedge with the same degree of loft. Good but somewhat muted feedback. Customer Service did not use Similar Products Used: mizuno and cleveland |

56* Sand Wedge
First off, let's say that I'm not on the course all the time. I have a full time job and 14 units in college to deal with. This summer I'll start playing again regularly. But, before this, I had bargain basement stuff. A raise mixed with my bonus led to some cash for nicer stuff. I bought a 56 degree wedge to replace my cheapo wedge and the difference was night and day. My approach shots are straighter, a tad longer, and the ball lands really soft on the green. It is also easy to grip thanks to the alignment graphics on the grip. The club is beautiful at address. It lays down really nicely if you want to flop up a shot, but I'm not Phil Mickelson here..... Simply put, this club is excellent. It puts the ball on the green where I can actually see the hole when I putt and isn't too heavy in the sand. The feel is much better than my old wedge. I'm confident I'll do better with this club in my bag, and so will you. However, it's not cheap, but cheaper than a Callaway. Guys with big handicaps like me may not want to spend this kind of money on a club, but Nike has seen me through 2 other sports (that I was much better at) and they've always made the highest quality equipment in my opinion. Customer Service Used them more for driver and iron info, but Nike is great. Similar Products Used: I don't think my old wedge even had a company name on it. |

53 degree gap wedge
This is a wonderful club. It is without a doubt the best wedge I've ever played. Not only does the ball come off the face flatter, with a more penetrating trajectory, but it has plenty of spin to back the ball up. It's versatility is amazing, I can hit all different types of shots with it. It is forged and I recommend it to those who shoot at least in the 80s and and are looking for a beautiful forged wedge to last a lifetime. Similar Products Used: Nike 60 degree wedge. |

60* Lob wedge
Was given a gift certificate to a store for a wedge, and decided to pick up a nike to see how it would play. however, i left it in it's plastic for half of the day, rethinking my decision...should i peel off the plastic and put it in my bag, or pick up a mizuno or cleveland wedge. finally got around to hitting 3-4 balls off hard packed carpet at work. let me tell you i immediately removed the plastic and was a complete believer. off the tight carpet, i put the ball EXACTLY where i wanted it. distance was dialed in, and the feel was buttery soft. when i finally took it out onto a course, i knew i made the right decision. lots and lots of spin. (almost too much, however i think keeping the grooves a little dirty will be the right mix. bounce is right for anything greenside, however i have yet to try it in the sand yet. this wedge is very accurate, has great feel, and i am getting more to replace my mizuno t zoid forged wedges. i am sold on forged irons, and now with the nike product. Customer Service no opportunity to use. i plan to ask them if i can adjust the loft angle of the 53* to 51* Similar Products Used: titleist high performance wedges cleveland 688? wedges mizuno t zoid wedges |
