I'm looking at picking a set of these up as they are on sale for a pretty good price, I am currently bagging Cleveland 588 RTX CBs, but i don't think they are going make it in the bag this year. They just aren't for me. But while at GG I noticed these and the Hex grooves seemed pretty cool, so I figured I'd ask if anyone has played these and what they think.

I was going to buy the Nike wedges this year but the feel wasn't as good as the Mizuno MP T-11's. Ever tried Mizuno? Grain flow forged clubs  and the grind on them make me able to play all types of shots even with the low bounce that I like.

I was looking at the MP-T11 also because they were the same price, but I'm having trouble finding a 52*. I really liked the MP-T4s but I having trouble spending that price on new wedges when I just bought those 588s 3 months ago. There are plenty of good deals out there I should be able to find some nice wedges.

Thanks, I'm still not sure as it is hard because you can't demo them without them being taped up, which kinda defeats the purpose.

Any forged club, especially wedges just have a distinctive feel between a cast club, forged feel soft. But ping is cast and those are great clubs. Yea and having taped up wedges probably isn't gong to feel or test right but that being said

Nike irons are not even in the same league as Mizuno. Dont quote me but Mizuno quality is far superior.

That might have been true 20 years ago. Not so much anymore.

I agree, and as someone that has played Nike SV tours, Cleveland CG 14s, Vokey SM3s, Ping Ansers, Scratch 1018s, Scratch JDMs, Bridgestone J40s, and Cleveland 588 Rtx, in the last 3 seasons the feeling of forged to cast is very hard to tell. Honestly the 588s feel softer than the j40s.

In terms of softness, maybe.  In terms of consistency, nope!

What consistencies are we talking about? In club manufacturing or swing consistencies?

I think he's referring to the club. He thinks that forged wedges will have much less variation shot to shot vs. a cast club. But as has already been stated ... He's incorrect. (Trust me, iacas knows what he's talking about. Dude has a set of forged wedges and an IDENTICAL set that is cast. And he's a pro. So if he says there ain't a difference I'm gonna take his word for it)

Give Tiger the same exact nike vr pro irons and cast them and see what he thinks! Also Tigers wedges are forged. You cant buy his wedges in forged only cast.

Casting clubs creates air pockets in the metal, forging clubs its impossible to create air pockets because they are made from a sold piece of steel. Casting has become better within the last 10 years but still cannot guarantee anything. Air pockets cause inconsistency.

Can we ask lee Westwood? Mark Wilson? There are several tour pros who play cast irons ... Do they just not care about the quality of their clubs? Or perhaps are you overstating it just a pinch?

As I stated above ping makes great cast clubs. Ping has casting down to a science.

      Brendan Sorsby Sports Betting

      By saevel25 · Posted

      So, Brendan Sorsby, Texas Tech transfer QB, was found guilty of sports betting by the NCAA. He admitted to it. He placed thousands of bets over multiple years while at Indiana and Cincinnati. This included betting on his own teams.  The NCAA rules ban athletes from betting on any sport (college or pro).  A retired visiting judge from Tarrant County, Texas has put an injunction on the NCAA ruling. He is a visiting judge because the first judge was a graduate and big fan of Texas Tech, and he recused himself. The judged ruled the following... "Under Curry's order, Sorsby is permitted to play for Texas Tech's 2026 season on the condition that he continues his treatment for a gambling and anxiety disorder and serves a two-game suspension (missing games against Abilene Christian and Oregon State)."  Don't get me wrong, I don't particularly care for the NCAA. That still doesn't mean that a college can choose when or where to say, "Yea we agree to these rules for all our sports, well except in this case." Here is a breakdown from S&W. The Hidden Weapon in Sorsby’s Injunction: How a Lubbock County Court Order Quietly Neutralized the NCAA’s Most Powerful Enforcement Tool - Law Offices of Snell & Wilmer By Ryan J. Regula On June 8, 2026, Lubbock County District Court Judge Ken Curry issued a temporary injunction in Brendan Sorsby v. National Collegiate Athletic Association, Cause No. DC-2026-CV-0791 (99th Judicial District... The main judgement made sense. Sorsby, I am going to have all this harm done to me if I don't get to play. The Judge, I agree. The penalty for gambling is too harsh, so here are all these things you must do, and I will grant this injunction against the NCAA. Basically, an analogy would be when a person goes into court for a DUI and they agree to all these other things to not end up in jail.  What sucks for the NCAA is the NCAA has appealed to Texas’ Seventh Court of Appeals, based in Amarillo. All four justices that preside over the court are graduates of Texas Tech University School of Law. It would be hilarious if all four of them had to recuse themselves 🤣. For those who like to read legal rulings...

      Swing Thoughts & Mental Game

      By StuM · Posted

      The chatter in my brain is when the distance is between clubs since I am pretty weak at shortened backswings, etc. I try to simply decide if being long or short is the better outcome and choose my club based on that and simply not even try for the “real” distance.  For me a full normal swing is what I strive for.

      Swing Thoughts & Mental Game

      By saevel25 · Posted

      I saw this comment made in a golf article... "Most golfers stand over a 4- or 5-iron still negotiating with themselves. They think about how hard to swing, whether they have the right club, if they have the aim correct and more. It’s a lot to deal with and long irons punish the “half-in” golf swing." I am not sure the "most golfers" is correct regarding the bolded part. I can understand if there is a bunker, water, and/or OB that a lot of golfers would be fixated on that. I am not sure that leads to ending up more times there. Pending your level in golf, the variance is so large in outcomes, it could be just with in the expected outcomes. I can understand if have a big lake on the right side of the hole being one of the most terrifying shots for right-handed amateur golfers.  I am not sure many golfers are standing over the ball talking to themselves, "Ok, maybe I should step back and pull the 4-iron. Am I lined up right? Oh, the wind came up, should I swing harder? What am I going to have for dinner tonight, maybe steak. (Joking, somewhat 😛)" A question is that how much chatter do you get while standing over the ball. Are you questioning the everything about your golf shot?
