Summary: I own 53* and 58* wedges. My wedge game has always been solid. I've had my wedges for 3 years now. Works well for me cause it minimizes the gaps between my wedges.
My 53 is what I use in place of a sand wedge (although it's technically a gap, I use it like a sand). I can control the golf ball very well between the 95 and 115 yards. It is a club that I've become confident with because of my ability to consistently strike the ball the same each time I use this club.
The 58 basically fits my swing perfectly. When I want to hit a certain distance (90 yards or less), I just swing in a manner that feels right. The ball just does what I expect it to do off the club face.
I used to use Cleveland before I got my Nike wedges and am glad that I made the switch. I was able to hit Cleveland well, but just not with the consistency that I can hit the Nikes. This can be attributed to the weighting of the Nike wedges. They are slightly heavier on the toe of the club, which (for me at least) makes it easier for to bring the club to square at contact because I can feel the clubhead really well. The feel is soft yet crisp and after some practice, it truly feels like an extension of my arm.
Compared to Cleveland and Titleist Vokey wedges, I can control the spin slightly better with the Nike wedges. The biggest issue for me is the weighting. The being able to feel where the face of the clubhead is oriented gives me the ability to confidently hit shots to the flag.
Some people will have better muscle memory than I do and won't feel a large impact from the weighting on their swing... but I would recommend that you try out a Nike wedge if you feel like your wedge game needs more consistency (don't forget that practice is important as well).

Summary: Im a 14 year old who plays quite a bit and this club is amazing. The sweet spot is very large and when hit on it the ball just flies. The trajectory is very good for low chip shots or if you want lay it down a bit and hit some flop shots. Also the look is one of cooler ones that I've seen. I'd recommend this club to all skill levels.

Summary: Great wedge. Bought for just $50 bucks on Ebay. Beautiful set up and great feel. Perfect distance control. I hit it within a couple yards of 80 yards every time. Great for flops, pitches, or from 85 yards and in. It has saved me 3-5 strokes a round

Summary: these wedge are great they have very good spin and are easy to control. i dont know wats the deal with clevland wedges, about every body i know have them. these nikes are just as good. my golf instructor gave his nikes to me for free! because he got his own clevlands for free. he let me try them out and there was no big difference.and the prices arnt relly different. and because i am just a teen i was so happy to get these for free. because every thing seems so expensive. and knowing that these are the coolest looking wedges there are, it makes things even better, with self confidence and anything else. try these and you will be very happy you did.
Customer Service: did not need
