Nike Love

[virge666]

It has slowly happened, but I am rocking the Nike gear.

I have not tried their latest irons, but the VR Pro Woods are awesome. And the Hybrids are also bloody nice. Match that up with genuine Project X graphite in everything and they are a good buy.

Now if they just get rid of the str8fit connector which has to be the ugliest thing I have ever seen . . . they may have a winner.

[Captain Nemo]

Virge, as previously stated, the VR Tour Driver "head" is one of the better ones out there, IMO.
Classic looking, sits nice and square, great sound and feel.
In fact im on the lookout for a 10.5*8)

[virge666]

But the straightfit is just awful... the hosel looks pregnant.

[Steve57]

Just picked up a VR II Pro 11.5* with the Project X 6.0 on the Bay for $140 delivered to Aus.

[virge666]

Yep - Same here, Global Golf is awesome.

I now have 2 woods and 2 hybrids.

Which method are you after? I've got 003 in mint condition that I am thinking about selling.

[rubin]

The wedges are great, spin like crazy, even without the super spin shafts.

I definately like the look of the driver, but for me, the Irons just look the goods. Particularly the Pro Blades. =P~

Glad to see that you are finally "one of us, one of us ..." Virge. I think the VR Pro limited edition woods (no adjustability) are what you're after.

[TheAwesom1]

Was close to buying the nike pro cavity irons a few weeks back. I actually had a set of nikes that i really liked however they were too small in the end.

[LeftyHoges]

Wasn't he the lead singer in the Beach Boys?

If they made a set of the cavities (The cb in the pro combos) they would sell lots.

[TheTrueReview]

I've got my eye out for a 3 wood in the VR Pro Limited Edition. They have a lower profile than the straight fit model. Looks very nice.

[rick3003]

Anybody tried the cci forged from a few years back?

[oz]

Rick - I played a set of the CCI forged in Thailand. I liked the feel, and they were pretty forgiving. S300 shafts. I could easily put them in the bag if needed. I liked the mid irons more than most blades. They are a bit more forgiving than my current TM MBs in the mid- long clubs.

Thanks Oz. Read some good reviews- not the prettiest of irons but keep reading about how good they feel....

[Stuartd147]

I have been playing a VR driver 10.5 with PX5.5 for the last 4-5 weeks, the non adjustable one and love it. The feel is more solid than my 910 D3 and goes straighter. I feel like I have to make a better fuller swing with it and it is hard to get to go left. I originally bought it because I just wanted the PX shaft and got it for $80 brand new on eBay, I never expected to be playing it and liking it as much as I do....stu

[borby]

I'm really interested in trying out the VR Pro hybrids at some point they sound like they might be a hybrid I could use.

They are getting better. The New LE woods are long. I'm impressed with their newer gear. Always have used Nike for other sports since back in the day....

[mike]

What about the wearer?Same.

[Iain]

I've had the vr combos in the bag for a few years now. Love 'em. Would love to try a set of the new vr pro blades. Definitely going to try and get my hands on one of the limited edition drivers.

[Hux]

I have the tour only split cavity (ie look the same as Muira CB202's) and they are pretty good.
Reality is they are no better than my old set of Cobra Pro CB's....but I feel the Tiger in my hands when I swing!!! :-)

[TheTrueReview]

Have been rockin' the VR split cavs for a year or so now. Absolutely love them & no thoughts of changing. ... and don't get me started about the VR wedges.

I recently got the NIKE VRSTR8-FIT tour Driver and 3 wood from global golf for 190. Both were in mint condition. Haven't tried them yet.

[TheTrueReview]

This is due for release on the 17th of Feb in the US. Don't know how this little ugly duckling is going to fair on the market.

http://a1.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/407338_10150517512758258_96946928257_8688120_19172 37339_n.jpg

[Oldplayer]

Picked up a set of the older pro combo tours. Really lovely looking set with just oversize enough heads and a bit of offset to add playability. Nice traditional shape with thin sole and topline. Very unfussy looking. Look at set up is very remincent of the TM300. The blade short irons feel superb. As good as any I have used. Long irons are forgiving with a good higher trajectory. Mid irons play well also. I feel you would be hard pressed to find a better combo set than these. Some know-it-alls rubbish Nike; but this set in it's catagory would be hard to better.

[jaybam]

I have the current combos mate. love them.

I can just see it know... Tiger puts a belly one of these in the bag and Nike can't keep up with the sales! ;)

[Oldplayer]

The Tours are essentially the same set. They were released a little later than the original model.(2005 maybe) They didn't have the tarted up lines or decals in the cavity. The sole grind had a little less bounce and they came standard with DG shafts.
Have a look here. http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/130596238525?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649

Looks like Stewart Cink was playing those in the 2, 3 & 4 iron in 2009. Have a look at 0:52.


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=htRQ0m83jEk

[Oldplayer]

Yeah basically the same irons but with the decals in the cavity they were the regular pro combos.

[TheTrueReview]

Just came across this on the net - the Nike + Fuelband (http://www.nike.com/fuelband/). Due for release in the US on 19 Jan. Very interesting. Should sell like hot cakes.

... then, I expect i Golf will get the world record score.

[PeteyD]

He already has 4, one for each limb.

[Dotty]

Does he average the results, as one will give a reading more than the other three combined?

[CanuckDownUnder]

Just picked up the VR pro x3x wedges... similar to vokey, but a tad lighter and forged. bite hard.

[CanuckDownUnder]

Also cant wait for the Concept putter. It would hafta be a superstar tho to knock the JD putter out of the bag

[TheTrueReview]

Noticed that Kevin Chappell & Ross Fisher have moved across to Nike in 2012. A couple of years ago Fisher was playing a sneaky SQII 3 wood whilst a Titleist staffer. Perhaps it was an inevitable move to go holus bolus to Nike.

Not sure about the SV's, but the Pro wedges are spectacular. Yeah I've heard that. I'll give these a crack anyway. Most likely I'll just put the 52 in my set to fill the void at gw atm

[990B Luva]

I'm slowly falling into the Nike trap too. VR Pro driver, tempted to go straight VR Wedges ditching the 56 & 60 SMT's and highly considering some Nike Blades.....

[WeekendHacker]

Has anyone by chance tried the VR Pro Limited Edition driver at all??? Love the idea of no STR8-Fit but wanted to see some thoughts before I went down that road.

[Iain]

It's got plenty of love on GolfWRX. I'm keen to try it, but not sure if hold world have any demos? And even then its only hitting into a net. It's supposedly low launch and spin, so I'd be worried about hitting it with the chuk and not getting enough launch.

[TheTrueReview]

If I didn't have a VR Tour (and a spare head in the cupboard) that'd be the one I'd aim for. In all likelihood it was probably introduced after NG realised its mistake at discontinuing the VR Tour. There's a reason why Tiger, Schwartzel etc are still using the VR Tour.

The 3 wood and 5 are very consistent and the trajectory is phenomenal even with a med/high traj shaft. I haven't tried the ltd or vrs driver yet as I'm loving a the hotmelted dymo monster that can do no wrong

[CanuckDownUnder]

I think he needs to switch shafts as his driving has been horrendous with that ds or djs. Crap. Especially for his swing.

Virge, just bumping my question for you about your VR Tour since it may have got lost at the bottom of the last page.

Mine arrived today - plays 45.5". I'll have a hit of it after work tomorrow to see how it performs, but I'm considering either 44.5 or 44.75.

Have you stuck one on the end of a chuk yet? and if so how did compare with...I don't know.. R11. There's a VR Pro 10.5 going relatively cheap and am keen to try something else on the end of the chuk.

[rubin]

Had a hit of the vr-s when I was in canada. Not a terribly great club at address, just something didn't look right. But it was so nice to hit, felt quite solid and the numbers on the machine where promising.

My VR forged are getting old and I have an 8* gap between my pitching wedge and sand wedge.

I'm thinking a move to 52 and 58 will be better. 4* gap in my regular irons and a 6* gap for my wedges (46 PW, 52 gap, 58 sand/lob)

Keen on the new 3X3 wedges from Nike and the R12 mizuno but I'm scared going to new grooves is going to kill the spin I get...

I got some Pro combo irons form Timah a few weeks ago, my first Nike's and I am sold on them. Sweet feel off the bat and good control.
Maybe they just suit my swing a bit better than what I had but I think I may be a convert. Looking into a Driver now and possibly the wedges

My Nike irons are the bomb. wedges as well. I wasn't sold on the driver and fairways though. Found something else that suited me better.

Dibs on that 3 wood - absolutely munching the vr pro II 3 wood we traded - don't mark it too much ;-)

[sol381]

just picked up vr pro driver and 5 wood to go with my vr 3 wood and vr blades.. am i a ho yet.

To see what all of the fuss was about, I tried on a pair of these today. To be frank, they didn't live up to expectations. The Nike Lunar Control are way more comfortable. The tongue of the TW 13 shoes is bit longer than a normal golf shoe. I found it quite annoying due to contact higher up on the front of the ankle.

TTR: I agree.

But I have used them for about 2 months. I like them in dry conditions.

I think I prefer my foot joys slightly.

I picked up a pair of the 2012 Lunar Control shoes from the Rebel clearance store in Auburn for $69 today.

Tried them on in store and the fit was great. Not sure how they'll compare to my trusty FJ Contours in terms of overall comfort, but they feel very light!

Nice pick up. The 2012 model looks way better than the 2013 model IMO. I have two pairs. Great shoes. You won't be disappointed.

How do the lunars compare to the TW13?

Weight?

Sole?

I tried the TW13 on in a Golf World store, and that's as far as it got. The tongue is quite long & I found it irritated the front of the ankle.

all Nike lovers, any tried the Covert Tour hybrid in reg? thought?

Negative but the VR Pro hybrid is a beast. Worth a try.

Hahaha, i know as experienced VR Pro before but need something adjustable now

[Puji]

I've tried the hybrids and fairways.

They are good. But there's better.

VR pro hybrids are fantastic. Big nothing is pushing my RBZ hybrid/ your spoon combo from my bag.

Puj, I had a range session last night with my teaching pro / club fitter. I've just shafted an ex-Virge SQII 4 wood (bent to 16 deg) [tour version] head. I had it up against my VR Pro 2 hybrid (18 deg). Both with HoF shafts. When I flushed both, the 2 hybrid was only about 5 metres behind the fw wood. As I said before, the VR Pro is a beast. :)

[CanuckDownUnder]

I've had the VR pro brid in the bag at one stage and it was long with Matriz Ozik Black tie, but not longer than the 913hd.

Now using the DYMO 380 with TP7HD and it's easier to hit and longer than the Ping G20 with ADBB which I thought was the most consistent and best club I've ever hit.

Performance-wise, how does the DYMO 380 compare with the VR Tour driver?

[Puji]

I shot under par for the first time today. Just thought it was worth a mention here because I owe it to the Covert and the Method.

Marriage made in heaven.

Used both the VR tour and LTD ed and it blows them both away. Teeing higher gets the sweet spot and easy to work the ball. Totally differnt sound and feel on impact. Similiar to the Tour Issue Dymo 460 that Perci may or may not still have. Muted and solid. Similar to the Covert Tour , but hotter off the face. Now I know why Tiger and AK used this beast. If you could get your hands on one you won't be disappointed and well worth the money.

congrats

Thanks fellas! It's not a round I will be forgetting. Got quite a bit of prize money with 45 points and #1 finish.

Started on hole #10, so on the 5th Tee box, I was 5 Under after 13 holes. Then had a massive Choke when I realised I had made 5 birdies and no bogies.

Nick Watney proved that Nike's irons get some extra flight when hit off the hosel.

I (http://www.speedtrials.com.au/registration/#nsw)f any of the Sydney ho's (especially Jado and stealth) are keen, I've registered for the 6:30 to 7:30 Thursday "event" at Power Golf Castle Hill...

[Squidboy]

For what it's worth. The covert performance head beat the razr fit extreme for me at the speed trials. 1 mph less ball speed with the covert but 10 extra yards of carry.

[BUSHY]

I had a similar thing happen. The Covert Tour gave me an extra 5mph Ballspeed over a 910 D3. Also reduced my spin by almost 1000rpm. End result is the longest and straightest driver I have ever owned. I'm seeing 10-15m more carry as an average.

[CanuckDownUnder]

It's been 3 weeks since hitting the range and having the recieved the new additions to the bag (from Perci, Virge, Ferrins and Will Peoples from the US). It was prolly one of my best range sessions this year. Also started just swinging wedge shots with just the left arm (warmup while I was on the mobile answering a call) which I reckon made the session worthwhile and enjoyable)

The 3 wood was like it never left my bag. low shot stingers, high flighers. cuts. $$$
The 5 Wood has a piercing flight to start then heads upwards , but not overly high.
The NIke Protos Split Cavities had the same result as the Ping Ansers I've had, just forged. No harshness, but then again I managed to flush all but two shots.

Now just looking to sell the Vokey wedges for a Nikes and sell the Scotty for a Method.

Fixed Coverts coming....

EDIT: Oops - just realised I got it the wrong way around. Ha. Ignore me.


What Virge said.

I wish I could find the lofts I have (52,58,64) in the nike's.

Well: the 64 I mean. The 64 just makes it stupid easy to get out of bunkers.

I miss my nike wedges very much.
