Summary:
I bought all three wedges at the same time. It took a few rounds to get used to them. Now I love these wedges. They put a TON of spin on the ball. The only problem is with the square grooves they shave my ball after each shot. I have tried PRO V1s, V1xs, Taylor made TP red and blacks, Bridgestone B330 and the same result. The wedge would put a large scuff in ball. The best ball I have found with these wedges are the Srixon ZURCs. The ball will back up on the green and I can go the whole round with the cover intact. In all I like the wedges, but I recently heard a rumor that these wedges are now illegal, effective 10/2010. Not sure if it true.

Summary:
Man these are nice wedges. i've used Cleveland CG12s a lot over the last 12 months and decided to throw them in the bin. They really are the most overrated wedges around. I have given the Titleist spin milled wedges a big go over the last few months as well, and i do really like them, but i think neither of these 2 wedges come close to the SV tours.
and one thing i can gurantee is that neither spin more than the SV tours, my god these things get some 'fizz' on the ball.
they are incredibly soft to hit when hit properly, and my distance control and accuracy have improved no end since using these. especially compared to the CG12s, which were all over the place (long/short and wide).
I'm starting to really appreciate the quality of equipment Nike is bringing out these days, and these wedges are a mile cheaper than most of the other 'top line wedges' and as far as i'm concerned, are better.
i have been playing my 52* gap wedges solidly (4 to 5 rounds per week) over the last year and it is showing severe signs of wear (but still performing stunningly), but at the price you can buy these for i dont mind replacing weges every 12 - 18 months.
i was playing with a couple of trainee pros last week, one using the new callaway x forged wedges, the other spin milled titleists, and neither of them could believe the amount of spin i was getting compared to them....
and just today, i hit 2 flags sticks from 80 to 100 out in the one round.
these things are deadly accurate.
i use callaway irons, but just could never change from these wedges, and as long as i can keep getting them from ebay cheap, i will be using them for years to come (unless something else spectacular comes out soon).
People, dont get fooled by some fools that say Nike golf equipment isnt up to standard or 'tour' quality, it really is, and these wedges are top of the tree!!

Summary:
This wedge is good but not for me. I don't know what is but just can't control it. It is not the club but it is me. I would sugest it to someone who is good at chipping. One thing have noticed is the quality of the club head is horrible it had scratches and scuff marks on the club face first time out. I still try to figure this thing out. It is fine if you are about a 100* out from the hole. I would only recommend it to a friend if they were already good at chipping.
