Nike SV Tour Wedges Summary:
Man these are nice wedges. i've used Cleveland CG12s a lot over the last 12 months and decided to throw them in the bin. They really are the most overrated wedges around. I have given the Titleist spin milled wedges a big go over the last few months as well, and i do really like them, but i think either of these 2 wedges come close to the SV tours.
and one thing i can gurantee is that neither spin more than the SV tours, my god these things get some 'fizz' on the ball.
they are incredibly soft to hit when hit properly, and my distance control and accuracy have improved no end since using these. especially compared to the CG12s, which were all over the place (long/short and wide).
I'm starting to really appreciate the quality of equipment Nike is bringing out these days, and these wedges are a mile cheaper than most of the other 'top line wedges' and as far as i'm concerned, are better.
i have been playing my 52* gap wedges solidly (4 to 5 rounds per week) over the last year and it is showing severe signs of wear (but still performing stunningly), but at the price you can buy these for i dont mind replacing weges every 12 - 18 months.
i was playing with a couple of trainee pros last week, one using the new callaway x forged wedges, the other spin milled titleists, and neither of them could believe the amount of spin i was getting compared to them....
and just today, i hit 2 flags sticks from 80 to 100 out in the one round.
these things are deadly accurate.
i use callaway irons, but just could never change from these wedges, and as long as i can keep getting them from ebay cheap, i will be using them for years to come (unless something else spectacular comes out soon).
People, dont get fooled by some fools that say Nike golf equipment isnt up to standard or 'tour' quality, it really is, and these wedges are top of the tree!
