The VR Pro Forged DS Wedge is developed with a precise forging process that Nike claim results in a wedge with accurate shot-shaping performance and a greater propensity for low scoring. Built for Nike Golf Tour athletes, the VR Pro Forged DS Wedge features a Dual-Sole grind intended to create an ideal set-up from sand, fringe, fairway, or deep rough.

The Dual-Sole is designed to provide two distinct benefits. Firstly, for normal square addressed shots, the sole has added leading edge bounce, but the trailing edge is relieved. This allows for utilisation of the bounce, which helps to eliminate digging but reduces the contact area so the club glides through the turf. The Dual-Sole also prevents bladed shots.

Secondly, for open faced shots, a unique relieved heel design comes into play when the face is in an open position. This allows the leading edge to sit low to the ball, especially on short flop shots.

The VR Pro Forged DS Wedge features Nike's high-frequency X3X grooves with a precision laser crosshatch pattern that is applied to the land area between the grooves. This pattern adds three times the surface texture versus conventionally finished faces, creating more spin in all conditions.

Nike's X3X grooves, 20 in total, are closer together and deeper on the club face, which provides more control and consistency in all conditions off of the club face, while conforming to the USGA and R&A rules.

Available now, the VR Pro Forged DS Wedge comes in a platinum finish and retails at £89.95 (€129). We at Leaderboard Golf can't wait to try it out!

What The Web is Saying

"These are in the bag and aren’t coming out any time soon. I stopped playing a 60* wedge a few years ago... but I’m glad to say that I can play this one as well or better than I can play a 58*." - golfwrx.com
