if you looked closely you would have realized that the pros are just last years with a bridge down the middle. once ou look closely you will eventually like it. I though they were horrible at first but they now look pretty good. Hopefully nike will bring out a new muscleback so rory will use newer equipment. The drivers are just awesome though. The flex is absolutely sick.

“All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self evident!” – Arthur Schopenhauer
These clubs are very different (again- og vapor line had the same kind of reception) and because they don’t look like a titleist knockoff golf conservatives jump on here to say they look like plastic toys. The reality is that the clubs look fantastic.
ALSO, to the people who are going to say the Flex is a horrible driver…..you just don’t have enough swing speed for it.
JustWellsy
Dec 10, 2015 at 4:12 pm
Exactly! My swing speed is consistently 118+ mph and the Vapor Flex is the ONLY Nike driver that gave me an acceptable spin rate/dispersion. On another note, I am not a fan at all of the look of the new pro irons. It’s not the color, I’m ok with that. I really hope they decide to release another iron that has more of a blade look to it, because that is important to me. I hate not knowing because I am in the market for new irons right now. If I knew this was it for 2016, I’d just buy the vapor pros. But I’d be pissed if they came out with a new version of them mid-year.

It looks like the design team got lost in the graffiti section of Cuba, stayed for a few too many mohitos, then sent the “finished samples” before any of them sobered up enough to check the final product. Just like Tiger taught ’em how to mix business with pleasure.

I generally liked the look of Nike clubs and the colours don’t bother me. However, the plastic and that inlay look very cheap. Ugliest design since those Yellow Sumo Irons.

The clubs don’t look to bad if you take the colour out of the equation!

As a current Vapor Pro Combo and Pro gamer I would have to say that this line looks GREAT! I am approaching 40 y/o and I LOVE the vapor color and I think the new line really is a good blend of young and old. I especially like the Vapor Flex look, it does look like the M1 but I think it looks better! The WHITE colored (although nice) is played out! With color variations from multiple different companies they are attracting a new group of people…. kids and young adults. I was at one of our popular driving range and I saw kids from 8-23 y/o all over the place, that’s what golf is trying to capture…I say they are hitting the mark.
Another key factor to look at is the look; it looks like a combination of AP2 and Pro Combo…two great sellers this past year. My question; Why wouldn’t a company do this? When people talk about “stealing other companies concepts” is getting old, manufacturing companies (all brands) have been doing it for years. The cereal market it even does it; you have Fruit Loops and Fun Loops…lets get over this.

How possible is it that rival companies can come out with such similar looking drivers so close to eachothers release – screams of collusion!

These are absolutely terrible. This might be the worst top to bottom line of clubs I have ever seen. Instead of getting rid of sales reps they should have fired their entire design team. Golf clubs are not like basketball shoes. Maybe they are are trying to attract more urban youths to the game.

I like the looks. But until they make a driver that makes the ball go really far away really fast, I wont be paying attention. Great driver accuracy, but they need more distance.

You might want to check their earnings/lost in the golf equipment. They are a monster, but the golf buisness is aloss for them.

Bingo…. Their clothing and sneaker lines are propping up the golf division losses. Of course those clothing and sneaker divisions are making more than probably all the other golf manufacturers combined so why not operate their golf division at a loss just to stay in the marketplace

I got a chance to hit the new drivers. The new nike flex is the most horrible feeling/sounding driver I have ever hit. The head is made of RZN. The other heads are ok but the flex ruined the experience.

Cool stuff. I’m looking forward to the reviews to come. I do see the point of wanting to see more neutral colors as well. Nike is marketing to younger players I guess but I love to look down at a black driver, all business.

I’ll be stoked when stores start carrying RZN Black balls again. I’ve had to resort to using the ProV1s I’ve found in my backyard this year.

Nike doesn’t sell enough clubs to shell out that much to make multiple colors for clubs.

They could solve everything by offering their clubs through NikeID, like they do for shoes and some clothes.
