BEAVERTON, Ore. (May 15, 2007) – The increasing popularity and success of the SV Tour wedge, has led Nike Golf to broaden its SV Tour wedge franchise by introducing the SV Tour Black Satin wedge.
Featuring a black satin finish, the new SV Tour Black Satin wedge uses the same profile and bounce as the original SV Tour wedge that has a satin chrome finish. The SV Tour Black Satin wedge has classic profiles and grinds that provide a clean look with maximum versatility. The CNC milled face offers consistent golf ball response off the club face for more accurate golf shots. These features help produce the control, confidence and accuracy necessary for a solid short game.
Constructed from feel-enhancing 8620 carbon steel, the SV Tour’s black satin finish gives golfers a solid feel and feedback as well as resistance to glare. Featuring a U groove design, the SV Tour Black Satin wedge generates increased spin for maximum confidence on the golf course.
A majority of Nike Golf’s Tour staff have benefited from the technology of Nike Golf’s SV Tour wedge, as evidenced by the fact that Nike Golf tied for the lead with the most wedge wins on the PGA Tour in 2006 with 16. Nike Golf Tour staff members who have SV Tour wedges within their Nike arsenal include: Tiger Woods, Paul Azinger, Chad Campbell, K.J. Choi, Stewart Cink, Paul Casey, Chris Couch, Lucas Glover, Trevor Immelman, Anthony Kim, Justin Leonard, Craig Lile, Rory Sabbatini and Bo Van Pelt.
