Drivers, fairways, irons, wedges, balls, Nike have almost completely revamped their equipment line-up with the new Victory Red line up of irons and wedges, the Dymo woods and new Nike ONE balls.

Obviously taking inspiration from a certain Mr Wood’s favourite Sunday colour, the new Victory Red line up represent 3 new iron sets and a new wedge series. There are also 4 new Dymo drivers (including 2 with STR8-FIT technology), 2 new Dymo fairway woods and 3 new premium golf balls.

Irons

Victory Red Forged TW Blade, Victory Red Forged Split Cavity Irons, Victory Red Full Cavity Irons

Having lead the PGA Tour in iron wins since 2005, Nike have introduced 3 new irons aimed at different segments of the golfing market to extend this dominance: a traditional muscleback blade, a cavity back players iron and a fuller cavity back iron aimed at the average golfer. The muscleback has already seen Tour usage from the likes of Paul Casey and Trevor Immelman.

Wedges

Victory Red Forged Wedge

 A wedge that was good enough for Tiger to use at his recent victory at the US Open and here’s why: forged from soft 1025 carbon steel,  ‘High Rev ‘grooves for maximum spin, CNC milled flat face and a Tour-inspired heel grind.

Drivers

Dymo stands for ‘Dynamic Moment of Inertia’ which Nike tells us combines all the elements of driver performance, including head size and geometry, centre of gravity, loft and lie angles and spin ratios to offer the optimal performance for each club. The two head shapes allow golfers to choose between the straight hitting square headed version and the more workable classical shaped head. Both come with Nike Golf’s proprietary UST Wide Body Shaft with an AXIV Core (available in weights of 59 grams, 69 grams and 79 grams). This shaft features a larger overall diameter throughout the body, to provide more stability through impact for the specific moment of inertia characteristics of each loft-tuned head, while the AXIV Core provides the tip stiffness required for optimum power transfer.

STR8-FIT technology allows the clubhead to be manually orientated into eight different positions to produce the desired shot shape and provide the most efficient means of hitting the ball straighter and hopefully longer. There are three different clubhead positions for a ‘closed’ clubface, which encourages shots to be shaped to the left; two positions for a ‘neutral’ clubface, which allows the ball to be shaped in either direction, and three ‘open’ clubface positions, which encourages shots to be shaped to the right

Fairway Woods

Nike Golf’s new SQ Dymo² and SQ Dymo Fairway Woods possess all the performance-enhancing benefits of larger head geometry, but also have the added benefit of featuring a sole that is specifically designed to minimise turf interaction at impact.

The Quad Keel Sole features four separate quadrants to make it easier to lift the ball cleanly from all types of lie, while maintaining total control over the clubhead throughout the impact zone. The raised angle of each quarter of the sole reduces twisting and maximises clubhead speed..
