Golf Club Review | Nike SV Tour Wedge

Golf Club Review | Nike SV Tour Wedge

I have lost count of the number of times that a wedge club has come to my rescue during a round of golf. In many cases anything within 60 yards of the putting surface will see me produce the wedge unless there is a good reason for using another club. Today I took the Nike SV Tour Wedge for a test out on the range with 100 range balls and distances of 75 yards and under.

Now I admit when it comes to the Nike clubs I am not the biggest fan so when I saw the wedge in the rack all on its own surrounded by Cleveland, Hippo and Taylormade wedges I thought it would be good to give it a try. The club has a steel shaft and what they are calling a Tour inspired satin chrome finish apparently to reduce glare as mentioned in the sales bumph below:

Nike SV Tour Wedge: The profile of the SV Tour wedges are preferred and played by many of the Nike Golf s tour professionals. Features and Specifications: Constructed from feel enhancing 8620 carbon steel (45% softer than 17-4 stainless) CNC milled face for more predictable shots Tour inspired satin chrome finish to reduce glare Nike Crossline grip by Lamkin Grips Modified U groove design High Flex Point Dynamic Gold S400 Shaft RH Offering: 50 /10 , 52 /10 , 54 /12 , 56 /10 , 56 /14 , 58 /10 , 60 /6 , 60 /10 LH Offering: 52 /10 , 56 /14 , 60 /10


The overall feel of the club is fairly good nice weight to the club which is great for using the club head to do all the work on those heavy wet days. The grooves on the club seem to be a good depth and this showed with good backspin on the higher distance shots. Direction and control was also very comfortable.

The Nike SV Tour Wedge because it is Nike is slightly more expensive than other wedges on the market but at $89.99 for a golfer who is looking to move from a graphite shaft wedge to a steel wedge this would be a good club to add to their bag.
