hmm...idk how i feel about these....i wish they would just make a really clean wedge without all that honeycomb crap. its a wedge, make it simple. the SV's are still nike's best looking wedge in my book.

The "honeycomb" was in late 1990s early 2000s Tourstage irons. The marketing on them then was that they helped on feel. Maybe the same thing on these wedges?

Are these conforming grooves?

Im not a big fan either, but its the same honeycomb design that is on the method putter so I guess it kinda flows.

That honeycomb thing looked bad on the Method, and it looks bad on this. It also has a rather large sole, and the whole thing is a little busy, ehh. I haven't liked any of their wedges since the original SV Chrome.

Looks like a little bit of a C-Grind thing going on there, no?

Just not a Nike Golf club fan, from driver to irons to putters to wedges, something about them just turns me off.

A little too busy for my tastes. It won't ever happen, but I wish nike simply put the swoosh on the back of their irons and wedges, ala the Nike Forged Blades and Forged Wedges.

Very busy, especially for a wedge. I don't know why it matters what's on the back, but I don't really need anything on a wedge beyond the degree marking!

Definitely a C-grind on these. I agree that there is too much going on. xxio to answer your question yes they are conforming grooves. They label them as "the most aggressive conforming grooves". I hit one yesterday and it didn't feel all that solid IMO. However, they seem to be a smaller head than the VR forged wedges from last year and are more of a tear drop shape. I think they set up a lot better than the older version.

Wedges look like wedges, i want to see the face, and what it looks like at address, how it feels in my hand, from what I've gathered the shaft is the most important part anyway. So, what shaft does it have? Maybe the thing to do would be to compare grooves, head weight, swing weight, shaft flex, shaft weight, tip stiffness, and bend point. Then we could find what fits our game the best based on clubs we have that we like vs. don't like.

I agree, the face shot is very important here.

barbajo  You'd think a fantasy team with Webb Simpson, Rory, Hunter, Graeme McDowell & Louis Ousthauizen would do some serious damage at the Player's. Well, they did, but not the kind of damage you want...
