After Paul Casey put the new Nike Vapor Fly driver in play at the PGA Tour’s Tour Championship last week, we spotted a Nike Vapor Fly 3+ 13-degree fairway wood in Hao Tong Li’s bag at the Web.com Tour Championship at TPC Sawgrass (Dye’s Valley Course) on Tuesday.

Inside Collin Morikawa’s recent golf ball, driver, 3-wood, and “Proto” iron changes
As you probably know by now, Collin Morikawa switched putters after the first round of The Masters, and he ultimately went on to finish T3.
The putter was far from the only change he made last week, however, and his bag is continuing to change this week at the 2024 RBC Heritage.
On the range of The Masters, Morikawa worked closely with Adrian Reitveld, TaylorMade’s Senior Manager of Tour at TaylorMade, to find the perfect driver and 3-wood setups.
Morikawa started off 2024 by switching into TaylorMade’s Qi10 Max driver, but since went back to his faithful TaylorMade SIM – yes, the original SIM from 2020. Somehow, some way, it seems Morikawa always ends up back in that driver, which he used to win the 2020 PGA Championship, and the 2021 Open Championship.
At The Masters, however, Rietveld said the duo found the driver head that allowed “zero compromise” on Morikawa’s preferred fade flight and spin. To match his preferences, they landed on a TaylorMade Qi10 LS 9-degree head, and the lie angle is a touch flatter than his former SIM.
“It’s faster than his gamer, and I think what we found is it fits his desired shot shape, with zero compromise” Rietveld told GolfWRX.com on Wednesday at the RBC Heritage.
Then, to replace his former SIM rocket 3-wood, Morikawa decided to switch into the TaylorMade Qi10 core model 13.5-degree rocket head, with an adjustable hosel.
“He likes the spin characteristics of that head,” Rietveld said. “Now he’s interesting because with Collin, you can turn up at a tournament, and you look at his 3-wood, and he’s changed the setting. One day there’s more loft on it, one day there’s less loft on it. He’s that type of guy. He’s not scared to use the adjustability of the club.
“And I think he felt our titanium head didn’t spin as low as his original SIM. So we did some work with the other head, just because he liked the feel of it. It was a little high launching, so we fit him into something with less loft. It’s a naughty little piece of equipment.”
In addition to the driver and fairway wood changes, Morikawa also debuted his new “MySymbol” jersey No. 5 TP5x golf ball at The Masters. Morikawa’s choice of symbols is likely tied to his love of the Los Angeles Dodgers baseball team.
Not enough changes for you? There’s one more.
On Wednesday at the 2024 RBC Heritage, Morikawa was spotted with a new TaylorMade “Proto” 4-iron in the bag. If you recall, it’s the same model that Rory McIlroy debuted at the 2024 Valero Texas Open.
According to Morikawa, the new Proto 4-iron will replace his old P-770 hollow-bodied 4-iron.
“I used to hit my P-770 on a string, but sometimes the distance would be a little unpredictable,” Morikawa told GolfWRX.com. “This one launches a touch higher, and I feel I can predict the distance better. I know Rory replaced his P-760 with it. I’m liking it so far.”

Time for Nike id to move into the clubs!
I know there’s people out there that want these without having to ‘volt’ off to the paint shop before playing them.

The colors are what our athletes are wearing in the olympics. That’s why they went with those colors

These comments about color…wow. Does it perform or not. I love that they finally have some adjustability in the “speed” version of their fairway woods. I think that is probably the best new thing they’ve done here. Very good.

For the love of God nike please go back to normal colors. I have owned almost ever version of your golf clubs, but I refuse to get on this volt bandwagon. Please do the right thing.

That is a really pukey looking colour combination.

I like the look of the new Fly line. Probably because blue and green are my favorite colors, especially when together. Volt is a little too yellow for my taste but I think it still works. I don’t mind color heads. I play the Covert and enjoy the red, although I like my buddies flat black 2.0 more. Really like the looks of Mizunos 850 driver as well. Just don’t really care for white heads. Different strokes
I think they are just trying to shake things up a bit. Show that not all clubs have to be black or grey. Maybe attract the younger players.

It’s like they’re trying NOT to sell clubs. Who isn’t going to get tired of that color scheme. Yes it looks cool at first. But it’ll get old. It’d be like if Levi’s only sold orange jeans for 2015……they’d lose money left and right. But nike thinks it’s a good idea. And you change jeans way more often than golf clubs.

Then they will have a flat black version 3 months later after the early adopters are done buying.
