i just gota 48* vokey and i tried out the nike but it just didnt feel right and i havent had a chance to hit a range or anything to try the vokey in a real siutation but in my backyard it hit great and was alot better than my unknown pw i had be4 ha i feel i made the right decision with the vokey the nike did seem heavier and when i swung it wasnt comfterable in a way same with the callaways

I side with Nike.
As a hight handicapper I was a bit concerned with blade style clubs. After testing a few different ones (titleist Vokey Design, Taylormade and Nike Victory Red) I immediately understood that that is a non-issue. In fact these wedges (I got the 52, 56 and 60) are all easy to shoot high and straight. These Nikes feel immediately a bit heavier than the competition, and thanks to the stiff shaft, also a bit "harder" to swing. I say that in a positive connotation, as it seem to make it easier to concentrate and calibrate your efforts in the shot. It is very rewarding to play with different shots, trying to shape and control distance and spin. I had read other comments regarding the abrasiveness of the grooves, but these clubs REALLY shred balls, you literally have to remove pieces of the ball from the grooves. I expect this trait to dull up as I hit more balls (hopefully!). Great clubs, always happy to hit them.

hey there, I have played vokeys in my first good set, but then i switched over to nike sv wedges, 52* and 60*... At first the spin was really noticeable, but now i see more of a consistant spin rate. I've also picked up a nike vr forged 56*... if you want to rip off covers on your golf ball i highly suggest a set of these!

I'm definately going to convert my wedge set over to the older vr with sharp square grooves.

best of luck

have fun on the golf course! score low right?

    • Went to a PING fitting day today. Going to be ordering a G430 Max 3w with a 75g x-stiff shaft at 5w length and a 3h. I forget what my fitter did with the shaft on that but she told me she’s going to email the club the specs of everything. The 3w combination we found pretty quickly. As for the hybrid, we tried a bunch of different head and shaft combinations for that distance with mixed results. Then she handed me the 3h and I took three swings with it and knew it was the one.
    • Yeah, this isn't sandbagging. It's outright cheating. He should be banned.
    • That’s quite a generalization. It’s clear that you don’t like water but there are plenty of us that drink it just fine. My daily intake is usually about 20oz of black coffee, 16oz of soda, 8oz of milk mixed into a protein shake, and anywhere between 30-60oz of water. It doesn’t even need to be cold and I kind of prefer it closer to room temperature than cold. I quite like the taste of tap water, with sole exception being the tap water at Magic Kingdom (it’s terrible). I can’t stand when people bring me tap water with a lemon wedge in it. I didn’t ask for lemon in my water.
    • This is the part I don’t get. He’s not even kind of sandbagging, he’s blatantly doing it and submitting scores that are verified to be incorrect. How he’s not banned from competition is beyond me.
    • He's right in what he's saying.I also have done this experiment with a golf shaft swinging with one arm at a time.one arm at a time is for me very fast but both hands together are very slow ..I got my 17 year old son to do this experiment and he swung very fast with either hand and he swung very fast with both hands together..My conclusion up to now is ; I'm not using my wrists properly but I not a 100 percent sure just yet..I will keep trying to fathom this out .I'm a 12 handicap and my son is 3.9 at Westlancs..
