Anybody know when the new Nike Ignite is coming out? Anyone have any pictures or details?

[Big-Wiesy]

I haven't heard anything about this?? You may be talking about the Ignite DFI from Japan?? If not then this is news to me. I think I heard somewhere that they won't bring a new driver out until about June/July next year.

haven't heard anything about this either.  i had heard about a 340cc model, the one tiger originally used, but it never happened.  there is the dfi in japan, but its been out a couple of years.  you would think it would it have made it to america by now if it was going to happen.

i apploud nike    that they aren't replacing there lines every year or 9 monthes like some companies.  the pro combos went 3 years? before any change or improvement.  they haven't  touched the blades.  they've added some lower (but very good) end products to give them a wider variety of options to more players.

if i had to guess, if they are looking at anything to improve upon it would be there putter line.  they're strong with the ignite driver and fairway woods.  they just released the nds and new pro combos, and they've got the new sv wedges.  really its there putters that are lagging.  just my opinion

Rumor has it that there will be a new driver in the US in the Fall.  No specifics yet though, at least, not that I have seen.

i did hear a rumor that they will be bringing out a new driver some time next year.
Im with you golfnut if they improved anything it should be there putter line because it isnt very good.

I think if Tiger didn't use the Ignite 460 so well and hit those distances with it and winning tournaments again the Ignite would be replaced already!

No doubt about that. I'm sure we'll see them coming out with some type of composite head in the future.  With the success Cleveland has bee having and definitely Callaway next month with the retail release of the FT3, Nike will have to come out with something for 2005.  I'm just amazed we haven't seen anyone playing a prototype of some new driver.  The putter's seem to be the only "new" thing they've been working on.

I don't think its been out that long there.  When I was there that was the driver that was in all the golf mags.  It's also a lot mt expensive then the ignite there.  I think the ignite is about 500$ The dfi is about 800$ 88,000 yen.  Clubs there aren't cheap.

We got the CPR 2 set in today.  Man they are fugly, thats all i can say

Yeah when i was there in april it seemed like the DFI was pretty new. Also, they have the Ignite+, but as i cant read japanese im not sure what the difference between the regular ignite and the "+" is.

[stickman]

I think you might be talking about the sasquatch driver /.

[Big-Wiesy]

The "Ignite +" is just a normal Ignite with a hotter/illegal face. And I think they come in 380cc aswell.

[dlefty]

Yes, there is a new driver coming, possibly fall of '05, for sure by spring '06.  In the Nike R&D building this driver has a project name of "SQ" which was turned into "Sasquatch" as an inside joke.  No details about it, but it is coming, stay tuned.......

[BogeyTrain]

I just spoke with a Nike golf  coordinator they will be launching a new line of clubs (irons) in the winter;  and the new driver is codenamed Sasquatch.

[TM golf guy]

Ive heard its gonna be called the Sasquatch, or at least code named that. Its supposedly going to have the Diamana for a stock shaft. I cant wait. For those that think it is the DFI, you are not correct. It will be a totally new model.
