Those are the best wedges I have ever used. I had the 56 and 60, but can't find them anywhere in my garage. I have used Vokey wedges lately, but I wish I could find these again

I think the Nike rep I talked to said mid May?

maybe you are standing too close to the ball...it happens to me occasionally also (my sandwedge)
It was exactly this. I hit the range for a few before my round today, had a couple shanks, but was mostly hitting them just fine. 1st hole I drove just shy of the green, and chipped on. 2nd hole I drove up the middle, hit a hybrid on approach, and chipped on. It wasn't until I had iron in that I started having problems again, where I shanked consecutive 7 irons out of bounds. For the rest of the day if I was hitting off of the fairway and I was under 200 in, I was just hitting punch shots with my hybrid and hoping to get close enough to the green to pitch/chip it close. Ended up shooting a 52 on the front and something like a 47 or 48 on the back using that method (did have a birdie).
Stopped by the range again after the round, and decided to experiment with standing further away from the ball, almost to where it really felt like I was reaching out to have the ball centered in the club face. First swing, nutted down the middle. Everything after that was perfect. Occasionally I would find myself too close to the ball and shanking it off the hosel again, but once I made a conscious effort to repeat the same stance every time, with the same posture at address, I started hitting perfect shots each time.
There happened to be a Callaway demo day at the range, so I got to hit a bunch of their clubs as well (Callaway Razr X Forged Muscle Backs are pretty nice). I was pushing their 5 iron 200+, and it felt really nice. Really nice ball flight with KBS tour shafts.
