Here's their tweet    "VR Pro Ltd drivers were sent to the Tour Van this week...wonder who will have it in the bag tomorrow"

Well I'm still at McGladrey's so we'll just have to see who has them in the bag!

Isn't it smaller? I think the ltd is 380cc, the vr tour was 420.
Or am I wrong?

Hmm, not sure? Posted Image

The regular VR Pro is a 460cc except for the 8.5* which is a 440cc. I don't remember what the first VR was though. The minute the VR Pros hit the market it's like Nike erased everything and pretended like the first VR series never happened it seems like

You're thinking of the Yonex 380cc driver. Thats the only one that small nowadays.

Most of the Nike staffers have already been using this.  I know for a fact Glover already has it in his bag.

What is the deal with putting a dumb logo right on the center of the face? Str8-fits have it, the new Cally Razr-Fit has it.... I don't know of anyone that likes that. Anyways, one insignificant flaw in a driver that should do pretty well.

I really like the look of it. I think it's really sharp, and the lines are really clean. 430 is really appealing, also! If any shop around me carries a demo lefty, I will certainly try it. I liked the feel of the VR Pro, and really wish that the VR Tour was available in lefty.

I have to mention: I am truly impressed in the evolution of Nike's golf department. They started 10-13 years ago not really knowing what to do, and they smartly went out and got Tom Stites. Now, they are really producing some great stuff. Can't wait to see their full line! It seems like they're really getting the memo - nice blend of playability and appealing, modern looks.
