As some of you may have noticed from the Shopaholics thread I have recently become the proud owner of a gunmetal Nakashima NX-1 52* gap wedge.
Purchased for the grand sum of £34 including shipping from the states and last night I whipped out the DG X100 shaft and replaced it with one of my preferred Rifle Spinner 5.5 shafts.
Took it down the range tonight for a quick hit.
Niceshot had allready told me about how soft these fedges were but nothing really prepared me for the total squidgy feeling quality that this wedge exudes.
The recent Crews Spinmax wedge I reviewed revealed itself to be pretty soft after a while, but this thing was like a hot date who couldnt wait to reveal her deepest secrets to you before you'd even left the pub.
The very first hit brought a wide grin to my face and nothing changed as I hit ball after ball after ball down the range marvelling at the buttery softness of this wegde.
A bit difficult to judge spin tonight as there was a strong following wind that at one time saw me hitting 8 irons 170yards on the fly but i'll definitely be putting this club in the bag for sundays medal.... in fact its so good i'll probably update my signature in a few minutes to reflect my new found love!!!
