Picked up a Nike Vapor 3 wood on Friday, and thought I would give it a test to see how it goes, as I wanted a replacement for my Covert Tour, which I was a little inconsistent with. I was particularly interested in the Speed, for a little more forgiveness, and, according to the online previews, a bit more distance because of the slightly larger head.
The first hits were crisp as anything, and straight out of the box, it was a joy to hit. More consistent than my Covert Tour, and a nice noise off the club face. Slight heel strikes still went a good distance. Needless to say I purchased it (as well as the 20* Vapor Speed Hybrid) and they went straight into the bag
I used the 3 wood for the first time on saturday on the course, and off the tee, it was a delight. Purely struck, it would take off on a lovely flight, and roll out, even on soft fairways. Sadly, the round was cut short due to a blizzard that set in, however, today I managed to play a full 18, using the 3 wood off the tee quite a few times. Without doubt, it flies further than my Covert Tour did, and off the deck, it was so easy to get airborne, but to also fly a good distance. Put a smooth swing on it, and it will fly. Off-Centre strikes weren't particularly punishing, and still flew a good way.
I haven't yet tested the Driver, however, if it is anything like the 3 wood, then I am fairly sure it will make its way into the bag as well!
