Nike Engage wedges now available
Nike’s new Engage sole wedges, which come in three different models — Square, Toe Sweep and Dual — are now available to purchase on Nike’s website and sell for $119 per wedge. The raw wedges are cast from 8620 carbon steel, and come stock with True Temper’s Dynamic Gold S400 shafts.
Learn more about each of the three models below.
Square Sole
Nike’s Square Sole wedge is designed for straight-face shots. There’s moderate heel relief in the 58- and 60-degree options, while the 54- and 56-degree options have a “Tiger-inspired leading edge bevel.”
Here’s a chart from Nike that shows the Square Sole’s strengths and weaknesses. Looks like a pretty solid all-around choice, no?
Toe Sweep
The Toe Sweep wedge is designed for golfers who like to play open-faced shots, thanks to its wide toe and narrow heel. The grind helps to keep the club face from closing through impact, especially out of thick rough or sand.
Here’s a chart from Nike that shows the Toe Sweep Sole’s strengths and weaknesses. Find yourself in a lot of thick greenside rough or a lot of bunkers? This might be your wedge.
Dual Sole
Nike’s Dual Sole wedge, which is currently in Rory McIlroy’s bag (59 degrees), has two differently angled surface grinds — one for square-faced shots and one for open-faced shots — making it the most versatile of the models.
Here’s a chart from Nike that shows the Dual Sole’s strengths and weaknesses.

The year was 2007. The famous/infamous Nike Sasquatch Sumo2 was released the year prior, ditto the Callaway FT-i. It was a (brief) time when, if you were a driver, it was hip to be square.
Fast forward 16 years. Tour Edge revealed on social media this week that it had plans to add right angles to its Exotics line with an epic #TBT post, writing:
“For this #throwbackthursday we’re going to prove that sometimes a product just wasn’t destined to come out…
“That’s the case with this one-of-a-kind Exotics XSi square driver.
“The XSi stood for XTREME SUPER INERTIA, and we were following the design trend of the day back in good ol’ 2007…
“But [in] the end cooler heads prevailed and this one was left on the shelf.
“Literally, we just found it on a shelf in our “museum” and almost every single person who was here at the time had forgotten about it, or just plain never knew it existed.”
Check out photos of the Tour Edge Exotics XSi, below!

I saw these last night. These look great to me. The Dual sole may end up in the bag.

Saw them this afternoon. Not impressed. Will not be replacing my trusty Nike forged heads with these.

But trying to get the wax coating off, that’s a whole nother ballgame.
