My biggest issue will be sound at this point.  Won't pass judgement until I hit one to hear it.  Interesting concept.  Looks like they have all the bases covered.  Didn't get into shaft options over than the pics posted.  Retailers won't have to stock different lofts so that's a winner!  Get me a demo now!!!!!

Will definitely be trying these but unless they are magical it is going to be really hard to get the LEs out of the bag and make me jump on these. Very interested to know how they feel and sound.

I believe that is only Face Angle and Lie.  Loft adjustment is simply the after effect of FA adjustment.

Nike really out did themselves this time. Look great and can't wait to get my hands on the Tour version!!! Looks so sick!! Kuro Kage shafts too? Not too shabby in my book....

Promise me you'll try it with an open mind. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised.

Very cool. I hope these clubs are a big success.

Did they say loft and face angle are separately adjustable? Interesting

This is a BIG DEAL for Nike to beat TMAG to market with the Single Driver Technology... I would bet TMAG releases its Driver within 48 Hours! and it is SICK!
Seriously...that would be the funniest thing ever. Tmag just took a round house right to the kisser and is down for the count...for the next 48hrs at least.

What is the difference between the silver face/bottom driver and the black face/bottom driver?

One thing, get rid of the swoosh on the crown, it's overkill and distracting.

I guess that's the regular version versus the tour version.

The ability to change the loft by that much on the fwy's and hybrids is unreal. Nike has stepped up their game in a big way with this release I believe. Obviously, we all need to hit them to give a complete verdict, but for now, this looks amazing.

Appears as though the silver is no tour and black is the tour version of the club. If this thing is as good as it sounds, I may have to buy one and paint it black. I don't think I'd like the red, but I'm open to trying it. I know Nike is new to the game, but I love that they dedicate so much to R&D. Not sure if these will change the game as much as they say it will, but I do know that at least on paper the idea makes a ton of sense. No chance in hell I'd game the non-tour version as I think the red/silver is a horrific combo, but the black face/sole are awesome.

I can't wait to try these. Would love it if they had a GolfWRX Contest and gave a few away. I'll take one for suggesting it =) X-Flex please!

Err...wow.  I better hit this a freakin' mile long, b/c IMO that thing is hideous.  I never liked red drivers, and the overall shape on the 3 is like a frankin'hybrid wood.  If they go like all get out, that's one thing.  But I would probably have to take some sea-sickness pills to play the thing.

Hideous with that swoosh on the crown. No, thanks. Bet Tiger and some others won't have that on the crowns of theirs.

And I like red but that color is kinda awful. Covert? Not so much. Dumb name, too. Who are they trying to be, TaylorMade?
