Recently I have decided to give Nike some love. I have never been a huge Nike guy but going into this season I picked up a few items to try. See signature for the clubs chosen. Sadly none of the equimpment is the latest so please feel free to give me some feedback on the clubs I will be using. I am excited to try the Method Core putter and VR sand wedge. thanks

I really enjoy the VR wedge, the top line really pleases the eye, and it feels great. I thought that the Method Core would be junk, it is one of my favorite putters (with an insert).

Driver and putter have been the 2 clubs that I have just not been able to get comfortable with so I figured why not change it up and go with NIKE. Going from a Vokey sand wedge with a dg spinner shaft to the VR stock shaft.

I have been playing Nike drivers since 09. (Dymo2, MachSpeed Black, VR Pro II & now VR-S)  I recieved the TM Rocketballz for free through work and can not hit that thing worth a lick.  I also had the 1st Slingshot irons (05 I think) when I first started to golf loved them too.

I'm not sure how to edit my signature to list my clubs.

Add your clubs to a list, then add the list to your signature on your profile page.

Or just add them in your signature on your profile page.

Nike has come a long way. I still use the SQ 2 and 3 hybrids regularly. Great clubs and not expensive.

Nike makes good stuff.  They have hired some of the best people in the golf industry and in the case of their forged stuff, its made by Endo in Japan (one of the best forging houses in the world).  Some of my favorite clubs that Ive owned have been Nike (SQ Sumo driver, Slingshot irons).  A lot of people like to hate on Nike because they feel that Nike bought their way into the golf industry (including myself for a long time) but the fact is that Nike makes some of the best golf gear that money can buy.

I was on staff with Nike for the last two years before switching this season. I was very happy with the products they made. I just couldn't get used to the ball last season although I have been told that the new one is much better.

I was maybe still am tempted to go after the new Covert driver. I really wish I was skilled enough for the blades. They are very attractive clubs.

Nike's forged stuff is made in China and Thailand, and it's very good quality.

I used a Nike VR driver, 3W and hybrid, as well as testing out several different iron sets numerous times, but never really felt all that enamored with them, so I switched over to mostly TaylorMade.

I still use at Nike VR 60 degree and Method putter, both of which I love, so, who knows.

I just bought some VR TW blades and have been doing nothing but flushing them they are great. TaylorMade has my heart in terms of drivers and rescues and I just picked up a ghost putter that rolls well.

Wrong.  Look at the sticker on the shaft.  It says, "clubhead made in Japan".  Last summer I had a VR Pro wedge in the bag.  No argument about the quality though.  On a side note, yesterday I was at Golfsmith looking at putters and gave a Drone a few rolls.  It looks weird but it works and Im seriously considering trading my Never Compromise in on it!

    • You may be able to find a regular flex Blueboard on the second hand market. I’m little more than half your age so I swing a shaft that launches pretty low so I don’t have a lot of experience with Regular flex (other than when I try to hit it I miss way to the left).    There are other shafts, such as the newer Ping Alta that I’ve heard good things about. And one that no one talks about. The Jupiter shaft. You can get this shaft for a $100 with a grip and your Ping adapter installed. I was talking to the golf manager at Dick’s Sporting Goods here and he has one in his driver and has nothing but good things to say about it. I thought about getting one for my Paradym Triple Diamond to play it a little shorter, but haven’t pulled the trigger yet.

    • Meanwhile, another old Tour Edge guy switches to Callaway for this season. I have a different problem, course dependent set-ups. What I’m wondering is if @dragonsmhas the 8 iron set 5-PW, AW, GW or just 5-PW, GW. Because the PW is 42°, AW 47°, and GW 52°. Because that could potentially be a gap there. The 5-iron to 6-iron length jump is 5/8” instead of 1/2” so you should be careful of that.    @WUTiger the problem most people have with 3-woods is they don’t play them far enough back into their stance. And they usually don’t have enough loft and the shaft is too long. So 3HL, 4 or 5-wood is probably better for most golfers. I do the “Frankenwood” approach. I have both the 3+ and 5 woods. I typically will either add two degrees to the 3+ on 6600 yards or longer courses, or take a degree off the 5-wood on shorter courses than 6300 or so, and use the 5-wood shaft for both. I don’t usually find a situation where I need both the 3 and 5 wood on a course. I don’t play from 7000 yards it’s no fun. Edit: I mostly agree with @WUTiger on the gapping, although a lot of the newer even fixed hosel fairway woods are made better than what we had when we were playing the old Exotics XRails.

    • I did read the fine print tonight. It said replace with “similar features & function”.  8 yeas ago my purchase had features that today are available on the lower end models and the current version of my model has more “bells & whistles” than what I got 8 years ago.  So I am thinking they honored the agreement and I can’t argue the offer. since getting a credit for the full purchase price all I am really out over the past 8 years was the cost of the extended warranty, which was less than a low end  treadmill would have cost me. now the question is which model to replace with.  I’ll stay with Nordic Track or I forfeit the $1,463 credit so I will get Nordic Track.  And they honored the warranty and were not hard to work with which is a plus.
