Over 20 professionals play Nickent wedges on tour,and utilizing their feedback, the 2008 ARC Wedges are now offered in two new finishes (matte chrome, gunmetal) and a forged satin version of the tour-preferred wedge.
Nickent's one-of-a-kind technology, ARC, or Accelerated Rebound Core®, consists of an internal core that positions a high-rebound elastomer directly behind the strike zone, delivering a lively, solid reaction from the face to the ball and eliminating vibration.
The elastomer weighs 7 times less than the steel surrounding it, creating an internal cavity. This internal cavity gives birth to muscle back wedges that have the look and feel of a blade, and the playability and ease of use of a modern cavity back.
ARC is one of the only patented hidden perimeter weighting systems ever used in a wedge. Three windows into the clubhead on the back of the club allows you to see the innovation that is being used for the first time in a wedge that has the shapes and transitions that both tour players and amateurs crave.
Nickent Master Designer John Hoeflich's passion has always been wedge design. Giving him the project to work with the tour players to build the best looking tour wedge, combined with the forgiveness and feel that ARC technology provides, has made this one of John's favorite projects. The results say it all: It has been a long time coming since a wedge offered this much innovation, this much performance, this much feel and this much good looks all in one design.

Blame the club designer John Hoeflich or your local magician, but these clubs are magic. If you hit it thin or fat, you'll still be a little closer to the ball than if you used a Vokey, Cleveland or TM wedge. As a 15+ year user of the Cleveland RTG, hitting the 52 degree made me a winner.
