Any recommendations? I dont really like to use a lob wedge that much so most of my approach shots around the green are with a sand wedge. I am looking for something to add a bit more spin to my shot

I have a brand new Nike - Still in the wrapper. It was a give away at a golf outing. Planned on putting it on Ebay but I'm a slacker . . . Want me to send it to ya?

A D10N, it'll make a big 'ol wedge in the sand when you take your foot off the decelerator.

#2, what are you looking for in return? And do you happen to know what model it is? I have been looking at the Nike SV Tour

Bummer.

But I'd bet Tiger wished he had one so he could use it to bury some whiny hos.

I'll check the model when I get home. Return? I don't care if there is a return - I love the wedge I use. I only took the freebie because it was the club or sunglasses. How about the return based on the impact it has on your game? If it doesn't help - send me a fiver of yard gars to cover shipping. If it knocks 8 strokes off a round have a walk-in built at my palacial estate (did that sound like Cousin Eddie?)

Titleist Vokey wedges with the oil can finish. You want spin? There are no better wedges than these?

Herf,

I agree with you in part, but the Volkey's are harder to hit than the Nike SV's. I am no scratch golfer, but I am 100% satisfied with the Nike SV's. I tried the Oilcan Volkey and I sold it.

But like cigars, to each his own.

The SV's will tear up a soft ball like a ProV1. Those grooves just seem to bite really hard. I have had several shots with pro like backspin.

I agree. They are a bit harder to hit. But when I pick it clean, they are deadly accurate, and the spin is out of this world.

I haven't tried the Nike wedges. I'm 6'7, so it's not like I can go to the guy at my pro shop and borrow one. But if several people love em, I'll definitely investigate.

Remember, drive for show, putt for dough. It's all the short game.

I've gone through a few (yeah cuz I suck at this game)different wedges. Clevelands, Titleist, Mizunos, and I ended up with a couple of Taylormade RAC TP wedges that I've been pretty happy with. Lots of grip and will only shred a ball if you lay into it.

Go with a Vokey

Have a 58-12 and a 54-8 gap wedge in the bag now, but also have an old 56-14 for the softer sand with I play with a 52-8 gap wedge. Black nickel is a decent finish.

Huh. Been years since I golfed, but I've only had the one generic sort of sand wedge. I could be pretty wild with anything over a 5 iron most days, but for some reason, the higher loft wedges were never an issue for me. Usually I had to actually back them off a bit. I had custom clubs PW-Driver, all extra-long, but just the little cheapo sand wedge I'd hit about 100 yards easily.

Finally got a 60 degree L wedge one day, dimpled face, such a sweet little number you could cleanly hit off of the parking lot with that thing. Turns out I'd hit the fugger about 100 yards routinely, too. Even trying to back it off a little bit.

I think I finally just started putting from about 30 yards out.

Sand wedges are all about the bounce. If it has too much, you will blade everything as it will glide over the turf. Had one like that (Callaway), awesome from the sand; worthless off of grass.
