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?

    • I never heard dislike for them.  From my perspective, they are just like any other club. Though, they were always probably over-priced, until recently as other club manufacturers have been raising prices the past 5+ years. You had to wait for them to go on sale, which you can get them closer to other club manufacturers.  They sell good clubs. Nothing crazy..
    • Why do so many people dislike PXG clubs and constantly criticize them? All the folks at my club and especially online, I never hear good things about them except from people who bought them and defend them. They look fine to me but curious is there some sort of quality issue or is it just stereotyping the buyers.
    • I have the LM1 launch monitor and I’ve been very impressed. I agree with your assessment and it’s very accurate for me and ease of use is wonderful. The price point of $199 is very hard to beat with this form factor and performance. I was previously using a PRGR.
