What do we think Nike fans?

not bad , prefer the dymo more tho tbh

Im loving the VR, im going to have to do my best not to try it and (inevitably) buy it next year.

32 face angle options......not for me

I just think these type of clubs where self-adjustment has gone crazy bring so much doubt at address. If I hit a bad drive I would be thinking maybe I should have gone for face angle 21.5 rather than 23 and that doubt would continue the entire round until i adjust the damn thing and the same happens the next round

God help me if Ping bring in a self-adjusting driver.....

the VR looked very nice to stand over not to hot on the sq driver,what about the sound?

I thought that when I got the r9 3 wood, but I haven't even tried adjusting it. It's best just to forget you have the option.

I think the VR looks good at adres, but looks rubbish otherwise... and i wont comment on the other THING...

 

[andiritchie]

I really like the Vr range and will defo be giving both models a go when they are released

Never knew they made project x graphite shafts iam looking forward to giving those a go too

 

[Tommo21]

I want one, I need one, give me one now.

They've got some new irons out too - they look like someone found them under a rock.
The worst looking clubs you will ever see.

I'm another who doesn't like these adjustable drivers. Despite being a well known TM gear freak and keen as a kid at Christmas to try an R9 when it first came out I was ultimately disappointed when I finally got to hit it. Like others I wasn't confident with the different set ups and could never be 100% sure it was me or the club (I blame the club naturally). It does seem that Nike are now taking on to another level. Call me old fashioned but there is something reassuring with one loft, one shaft and one idiot holding the end

You must mean th SQ Machspeed irons, aren't they just terrible. Surely they dont think anyone will actually buy them, how can the manufacturer of such a streamlined design as the VR blades tarnish their reputation as a golf brand (and a fairly new one at that) with a monstrosity like that.

 

[n8dog]

I had good results in terms of distance when i tried the dymo but i lacked accuracy so it would be interesting to give these a hit especially the VR (i tried the normal dymo not the square one). But seriously that new 'machspeed' range is hideous, i dont think they could make it look worse unless they ran it over. Come on Nike show us something better! (I use a callaway Fti and even i think this is bad!)

Send me one and i'll tell you

 

[HomerJSimpson]

I think Nike are in danger of doing what both Cally and TM did a few years back and to pander to too many abilities. I think the only company that have successfully brough out decent looking clubs that appeal to a wode range of players is mizuno.

Completely agree, even their GI irons look slick, they have by far the best range to suit all abilities.

 

[slugger]

That big square blob of a club is pure fugly. Maybe it will be better in the flesh though.

I quite like the look of the VR driver though, although even the head on that looks a wee bit strange.

 

[thecraw]

I hate the sound and feel of nike woods so I'd be interested in looking at trying these to see if they have improved any. I tried the STR8 fit down at the range and we just didnt get on! Bad first date!

I have also tried Nike fairways before and just hated the yellow shaft and the face. Horrible horrible horrible!

 

[viscount17]

is it just me, to me they all look as if they've developed a pronounced off-season belly
