Nike releases VR_S Covert Junior golf clubs

Published

on

Got a youngster at home that you want to get into golf?

Nike wants you to get them started on the right track with its VR_S Covert Junior golf clubs, which are designed in two different sizes for different age groups.

Size 1 (retailing for $159) will come with a driver, 7 iron, sand wedge, milled flat-face putter and lightweight Nike stand bag. Size two (retail at $199) will come with all the same clubs and bag but will also add a hybrid and 9 iron to the set.

The set has been designed to help your young golfer get the ball in the air by using lightweight graphite shafts, adding a little bit of extra loft to the driver and making the soles of the irons a little wider. The bag also has a double-strap bag to make sure the weight is properly distributed across the golfer’s back.

To ensure the youngsters see no difference between their new clubs and what Nike’s Tour players are using, the heads will feature the glossy red paint job equipped with the white Nike swoosh on the crown side of the heel, just like Tiger and Rory.

      Set 1 7-9
      Set 2 9-11
      A scale on the box lets you measure finger tip-to-floor-distance for easy choice of set size.

    This is actually pretty exciting. My 9 yer old daughter is maxing out her current set, and will be due for new ones this spring. The callaway set up is nice, but retails for an extra $50. We’ll definitely be taking a peek at these.

    (plus, I wonder if this means that a discount will be hitting the SQ junior set soon?)
