Emphasizing its classic profile, the Nike SV Tour Black Wedge Golf Club provides a clean look with maximum versatility and outstanding performance. Launched by Nike in 2008, this piece of sports equipment has more than just a handsome appearance. The design of this wedge provides consistent golf ball response with every hit, even on fuller swings, for increased accuracy and control, ultimately enhancing your confidence. Every shot feels soft and smooth, and distance control is consistent. This wedge’s CNC milled flat face has Nike’s brand of U/V hybrid grooves, which are designed to regulate spin. Thanks to the face’s unique design, the clubs won’t chew up your golf balls at rapid rates like other more modern wedges tend to do. That’s because the face’s U/V scored grooves are able to grab the ball more snugly and more aggressively while at the same time removing grass, dirt, and water so there is more solid contact with the ball. The milled face made of soft 8620 carbon steel (45% softer than 17-4 stainless steel) offers plenty of feel. It also has a mid-sheen, black nickel, Tour-inspired satin chrome finish designed specifically to reduce glare on the green. But although the larger head on this wedge adds to the weight, it does help you to feel more confident when you’re standing over the golf ball preparing to hit a shot. The wedge’s True Temper S400 Dynamic Gold steel shaft is also a little heavier than the S300 that is found in most other wedge designs. You’ll experience a swing weight of around D6, which is ideal for golfers who prefer a greater shaft weight than head weight. Moreover, due to the variety of lofts available, this club provides exceptional spin that brings the ball to an abrupt halt when shooting on the green. The SV Tour wedge comes in lofts of 52, 54, 56, and 60 degrees. The sand wedge was a piece of golf equipment invented less than 80 years ago, and there are now many available (for regular, gap, sand, and lob) for the golf enthusiast. The Nike SV Tour Black Wedge Golf Club may be one of many golf clubs on the market, but this wedge bears a closer look. It suits any level of game and handicap while adequately addressing virtually any condition found on the golf course. The design of this wedge is not by accident. Nike polled its Tour staff members, and the resulting feedback went into the creation of the SV Tour wedge. It’s interesting to note that Lucas Glover used this wedge when he won the 2009 U.S Open at the incredibly tough Bethpage Black course. The wedge’s profile, bounce, and groove contour are all Tour caliber. The SV Tour wedges have classic, simple profiles with elegant markings and sole grinds that provide a clean look with a lot versatility.
