Golf Monthly Verdict

Great looker with just the right weight and feel. Loads of action from the sand. After a few shots it is easy to see why some Nike pros play it.

“Spin Velocity” wedges are soft cast with a tour-inspired profile, shape and bounce plus Nike's own U/V hybrid grooves. Mid-sheen black nickel, satin finish. Milled face for consistency with soft carbon steel providing plenty of feel. U/V hybrid grooves regulate spin and control and should help channel grass and water away for solid contact and extra grab.
