Nike VR forged Ltd driver head

Really hard to get hold of these - still has PGA tour spec sticker

Raw head ready to be built to your spec

8.5* loft same as Tiger was playing

I play one in 9.5 with a Di-7x and its a great combo - especially when you tip a Di the spin comes right down, the forged head feels great if you like a solid feeling driver this is the one.

$800 shipped

The VR LTD is a great head.  Is the actual loft on that head 10* as indicated in the spec sticker?

Agreed, I think it may be a 9.5 degree because the sticker shows "9.5 + 1". Also a pic of the serial would be nice too!

Sorry guys, have been away this weekend.

I believe it's actual loft is playing at 10 as per sticker although the stamped loft is 8.5

are we going to see that tour serial number, or are we just to assume it's got one? Shouldn't be this difficult to produce a pic for verification.

These heads have no serial numbers, there is an ID number on the sticker which is what is covered by the tape

honestly, it's hard for me to believe that a "Tour head" that's supposed to be 8.5* specs out at 10*, add to it that there's no serial number and no COR tested mark, and it just doesn't add up.
I'm not claiming it to be a fake, but before I'd make a serious offer, there would have to be some better answers than what you've provided OP.  And it's very hard to just go off of your zero feedback score.

There is no doubting it's authenticity - its from a staffer!

Its very rare a head comes out exactly on the stated loft.. If you'd rather it said 9.5 playing at 10.1 i have one of those too! They are selected for certain characteristics like COR or a combination of loft and face angle they know suits a certain player. I've had 8.5, 9.5's and a 10.5 off the guy yet they've all been within 9.9 and 10.1 actual loft and very close for face angle because that's what he plays... It doesn't matter to him what the head says. The final number on the sticker is the COR.

If you would like to see some feedback just drop me a pm... I don't tend to use wrx all that much but happy to provide some.
