Good performance but does not feel good.

Doesn't feel good! That's wierd, nike usually has some of the best feeling wedges imo!
[/quote]

Yup I was surprised all Nike wedges since the original Nike Forged have felt good to me. These felt like the old Ping Tour wedges circa 8? years ago. Still okay I guess but not Forged.

It seems like all of the in hand and on course photos show the cavity as black or significantly darker that the rest of the club, but the marketing photos and the front page article here show the cavity as the same color just a different texture as the rest of the wedge. Really hoping the marketing photos are more representative of the wedges coming to retail.

I see, I never paid attention to the other toe sweep lofts.

Also, I think in stores each of the 3 models will have different colored wrapping in it to tell which one is which.

Since they'll be raw and will rust a little while being displayed.

I think I'm going 54 dual and 58 TS. I have too big of a gap right now. Hopefully this spacing is better.

My only problem is getting wedges in April does not work for me. By that point in the spring, I have tournaments around the corner and am trying to get the game ready, not mess around with new wedges.

I'll have an all Nike bag for 2015, but looks like the Vokeys will be safe. Too bad, bc with an earlier release date, may have had 2-3 in the bag.

Agree. Wish they would release sooner.

Same thoughts here. I understand staggering release dates, but April is too far into the season in a lot of places. Why not March or even late Feb. That way you can start the season with them.

TaylorMade has done the same and shot themselves in the foot plenty of times. Release them with your irons! Stagger in the putters and balls.

Even if the weather is horrible I love to have wedges in hand early in the year to get use to the look, sound and feel - even if I am hitting off turf at the range at night. Sounds weird but there is a personal relationship and trust that is developed with the scoring clubs that is not the same as irons or woods which takes time before they make it to the course.

With blades, I can understand toe weighting to move the traditionally heel-biased CG toward the center of the face. But with wedges? Wedges already have a high toe. Isn't their CG pretty close to the face center already?

Don't hold your breath. Marketing photos can make a $1 McDonald's hamburger look delicious.

I agree with you 100%

[Wedge Ninja]

Raw finish, various grinds, and stock S400 shafts. All right off the rack? I'm willing to give them a try for sure. Just waiting to see them at address. Hopefully they look similar to the VR line.

[sneaky]

I'm pretty sure the wax is see-through. And if it's not then just demo one. They'll have to remove the wax and reveal the factory fresh swoosh.

Hope the design is close to the compact shape of the VR X3X Dual Sole.

@bjackson2718: .@nikegolf's new Engage wedges come coated in wax like "Wedge Seal" to preserve the raw finish #PGAShow http://t.co/BzkFzMJJua

Looks like that black cavity is on the retail version. Looked so much cleaner with out it.

i just love the way these wedges look. after checking out the specs again i am going with the 54* SQUARE and 58* DS.

[sbjinx]

I wished they didn't go with the black cavity but I'll be testing out the 52 square and 58 TS when it comes out. Not sure if they have any pics of the wedges with some rust at the show but would love to see what that looks like

NIW. New in Wax. The Wax is bananas. Dual Sole looks much more compact than the Square. Any feedback on feel + performance?

[Lesmond]

I want to play with them with the wax on the head.

That rust is a thing of beauty!

Love my raw tour-issue wedges.
