Nike have unveiled a new series of wedges, with Rory McIlroy sticking one in his bag already, that will be in the shops soon.
The Engage clubs clearly did the trick too, as the four-time major winner took second place in the Abu Dhabi HSBC Golf Championship at the weekend.

The clubs boast three sole grinds – Toe Dual Sole, Square Sole and Toe Sweep – with Nike’s ‘Modern Muscle’ technology coming into play to promote stability, giving a more consistent shot.
