Nike Engage Wedges

[minteq]

I spent some more time with my 60 TS today, just don't care for it. I have the original TS and I like it better, must be too toe heavy, everything is bleeding out to the right, not an issue with the original. Think its going to the BST later today. I love the way it looks, and the feel is great, but just not for me.

I'm looking to replace my VR Pro 52* for a 52*Square and my 56* S grind Vokey for a 58* but im having issues deciding my grind. My miss with the Vokey is a skulled shot, I'm a sweeper and i like to play with a slightly open club face for just about every shot. Would the Dual Sole be my best bet?

Played another 18 today, this time with the 52 SQ and the 60TS. I was already impressed with the 60TS but I was equally impressed with the 52SQ. Hit some real nice low spinning pitches with it. One from 70 yards, and one from 50ish. Both never got more than 15 feet of the ground and both stopped on a dime! My favorite shot! (only made one of the putts...) Hit some nice little chips and the feel is really nice. Not as soft as my Scratchs, but better than SM5's. I did hit a fatty 3/4, but it was swing and conditions. When it dries out around here it will be money. Came up short on one of the two full swings I made, but I think that is more shaft related (S400 ballooned a bit). When I get my preferred shaft and length in it should be fine. I was going to get the 56 as well cause I'm a ho, but not sure if I need to get another wedge. I have played a 58/53 combo for the last couple of years and its been fine, but might be nice to have a middle distance wedge instead of trying to hit 3/4 shots with the 52 and I never really use my driving iron....So pathetic the mind of a club ho...

Went and picked up the square 56 this morning. They had a coupon...

Interesting to note: when they went to bend the 56* to 55*it was actually at 57* so may want to,check your lofts.

This is actually music to my ears. Gonna go to the range this evening to start breaking this bad boy in. I play with a strongish grip and hit everything right to left, I don't know what all these crazies are talking about, not being able to curve a wedge. Having more toe/fade bias would definitely help me out.

I'm ready!!

The 52* SQ performed marvelously for me today.

Got to 12 feet or so with the 54 from about 115 yards away.

Awesome wedge and turf interaction.

50 Square bent to 51
54 Square bent to 55
58 Square, Dual, and Toe Sweep all bent to 59

Not necessarily shown in that order.

I like bounce, so I bent weak instead on strong to fit the lofts in that I wanted. So far, they are great. I think the direction you bend them depends on how you want the bounce to change along with the loft.

anyone having fits w their TS, just give it some time
had mine 3 days now and every time I use it, it gets better
just dedicate some time on the short game area w it and get used to what it does

no need to swing different or change your set up, just spend time w it
its different than most, but I think its special and is going to be REALLY REALLY good when I get it dialled in....and Im close

I hit about 3/4 of a shag bag out of the bunker w it and didn't leave ONE in the bunker - even holed probably 4-6
its so good out of the sand, SOOOOO good
also hit about a full shag bag (half w the TS and hafl w the SQ) from a light lie/fwy situation ..... its getting better every day

[Berg1091]

Not sure but I have a 52 and 58 both C grind I believe. Not really sure what grind it is? [attachment=2782236:ImageUploadedByGolfWRX Mobile1433035367.913712.jpg]
Trying to figure out which will be best for me but I think I'm going 52 Square and 58 TS.

[venturagolfer87]

Had a nice range session with the TS today. The session wasn't really centered around that club, so I didn't get too in depth, plus we were hitting off mats. But it feels great, didn't really feel toe heavy or toe-biased (Tobias?) as others have said, but I played and loved the first TS so I was already pretty familiar with the feel of it. Glad I hit range balls with it first, though. I was picking out a few ball shards here and there, and the ball had noticeable zip on it when it would hit the green. Can't wait to get some rounds in with this. The Modus shaft, feels nice and smooth, too.

I have to agree the 54 is money!

Finally got out tonight with these. The 54 square is money from 100 and in and the 58 TS is a beast in the sand!

The 54* engage is better than my previous VR Pro wedge and VR forged wedge. Performance wise.

The engage has much more sole, so easy to hit it off any lie. I punched shot it and full swing it and performed great. I hit my 54* full swing about 110-115 yards.

I hit it all stock and was working great. I had my 60* with my correct specs and it's great as well.

I still have to get used to the dual sole. So it's freaking easy from any lie, especially tight lies. Where I blade it. No troubles today with the engage dual sole.

Could possibly be the best Nike wedges they made. Are they still ugly? No idea, I don't see it when I hit the ball close the pin or where I want it to go.

Who fit you with an S grind? thats the culprit, you cant really open that one up. the dual sole is verstile but if your confident and like to open it up and lay it open go with the toe sweep. As a rule have a wedge for each situation.like 50* square 54* dual sole and 58* toe sweep. you wont be skulling the dual or toe unless your motion breaks down completely

How were 1/2 to full shots? Any details would be greatly appreciated.

I just ordered 54 Square and 60 TS to see if that combo might work better for me.

the square is alot easier to hit on full shots from the fairway.The TS if youre not used to that kind of grind will take a little time on chips and pitches around the green. tell us your thoughts when you get them.genuinely curious

Will do. I have TS in last year's 56, 58 & 60 and I did not experience the same issues with the 54 Engage... it's weird. I feel like I crossed the loft threshold where the TS will help "my" game maybe.

Seeing this video clip just makes me want to play a course or hit some balls at driving range early in the morning just to get some of that morning dew moisture and salty Hawaiian ocean air on my wedges. LoL.

I wonder how long it took that wedge to get all that rust?

[achappy]

Do the 58/60 DS have leading edge grinds to prevent digging? I've had problems with Nike DS wedges in the past where the leading edge was a little sharp.

I honestly almost never have a full swing w a lob wedge
its more of a speciality club, and ill swing it no more than 3/4 at most
longest ill pull it out from is about 70 yards
anything longer than that, and ill grip down the 56

again, all depends on the shot, wind, lie etc etc etc...

Ill actually CLR the face and keep it clean and rust free
