Spotted: Nike Vapor Fly Flex 440 driver
After images leaked of what appeared to be Nike’s new Vapor Fly line, we spotted Kevin Chappell testing what we presume to be called “Nike Vapor Fly Flex 440” driver at the 2015 RSM Classic.
Based on the photos, the driver has the same battery-style weight in the sole as its predecessor, the Vapor Flex, which was previously used to adjust center of gravity (CG). Also, the driver most likely measures 440 cubic centimeters judging from the “440” printed on the club.
No further information is currently available about the driver, but you can check out our in-hand photos below, and see what GolfWRX members are saying here.

In my opinion, Nike drivers and fairways sit waaaay too upright!! Major move forward for them is to allow flat lie angles!! It’s the main reason I can’t get beyond even sitting a Nike driver on the ground in front of me……lie angle is very fundamental and has a great impact on how one comes into the through the ball!! Nike should know better.

The fit and finish looks dreadful, like some dude stuck the pieces together in the trunk of his car right before he went to play

Say what you will about Nike but the vapor flex is by far the best sounding driver on the planet…
Rick Shiels was even taken aback by how dead it sounds…
It was because of his surprise by the dead sound that I bought the driver….
Not the longest driver I’ve ever hit but the best sounding driver since the 460 era began…

SLDR is the best sounding driver ever

I have a tour vault sldr…nice but not nearly as dead sounding as Nike…not even on the same planet..
And dead, soft sound is what I’m going for…
Sldr cool if that’s your bag but it ain’t for me….great driver though IMHO…even love the tp velox st x…

Black and blue top looks solid, absolutely love the blue swoosh, that random “volt” stripe on the bottom + PUKE!
I could get used the to weird weight shape, but that stripe.

Do you swing while looking at the bottom of the club?

Tested this driver yesterday! Performed extremely well on trackman compared to last years version , a lot more ball speed & more sound. Looks much better in hand , photos don’t do it justice! It’s certinaly performs as good as what’s out there.

It does seem to have a lot going on. I like the look of the Vapor Fly much better. Then again I guess thats not surprising as I don’t care for the current version of the Flex either

The blue looks good(my favorite color), but if you are going in that direction then get rid of the electric green. that doesn’t go together. In fact, Nike should just do a custom paint program. If they are going to take this route then let the consumer determine their own color.

Dear oh dear that looks cheap. Who exactly is designing Nike woods? An art student or a Golfer?

I think Mattel designed it.

LOL @ Dan, looks nothing like M1! I would have to see it in person…and again…if it is $450 retail…not worth it unless I am fit by Nike and beats current driver outside. IMO, still not worth it…great scoop golfwrx again…cool pics.

Glad to see a 440cc. Looks better than vapor fly blue imo

Oh, and the James Bond style rear port for smoke, oil slick, throwing stars for counter measure defenses!! Go NIKE!!!

Close, it’s a miniature NOS canister.
I’ve played the Vapor Pro since it came out and am still gaming it. Nike makes some great drivers, and they don’t look as weird as some of the cobras at least..
