Hello, first post here. Just picked up the new Nike VR II Pro Str8-Fit driver.  Has anyone else hit this driver?  I just switched from a Ping G5 with the stock shaft. The Nike driver came with the Project X 6.0 Stiff shaft. My natural driver shot shape is straight to slight fade.  The shot shape I want is a 5-10 yard draw.  Any suggestions on what setting to set the driver on?  It has 32 different settings. Thanks.

I think there is a setting on it L which closes the clubface on it id give that one a try first.  Whats your thoughts on the club and the shaft.  Im considering getting a new driver but dont think its worth spending so much

well i'll put it like this. i hit the adams driver, callway octane, r11 and the nike driver. i narrowed it down to r11 and nike. i went with the nike because the shaft the r11 came with just wasn't very good. At least it didn't feel or seem right for me. the nike driver comes with a verrrry nice project x shaft. i have already seen a good bit of added distance to my drives. also, even my mishits seem to still travel a good distance (longer than my normal good drives with old driver). my regular playing partner has the r11 and isn't impressed with the shaft either. my biggest advice would be to hit your favorites and go with what feels best. the only problem is you might have to put another shaft into whichever you pick. I will agree they are pretty pricey but i can say i got my moneys worth. don't blame ya for not wanting to spend that much. it took me a looooong time to decide to make that purchase. good luck. let me know which one you go with.

I've just started back playing regular after about a 8 year layoff and just got the new Nike VR Pro Driver, and like you had narrowed it down the the R11 or the Nike. Ended up getting the Nike because I got a deal on a demo. One thing I've found with the adjustable head is, for now, my swing is still too inconsistant for the adjustments to really do anything. Working at the range I can make some adjustments and get the flight I want, then the next day on the course it's different. I've decided to leave it a netural until I get some more playing time and a couple more lessons to get my swing more consistant before making any changes.

I guess you've looked over the adjustment chart? Are your set at netural upright now? The netural clubface settings are either +2 upright or -2 flat.

I guess I would start with closing the club face 1*, which you would line up the line on the head with either the "+" or the "-" on the shaft next to the "L", depending it you want flat or upright. And, as you can see when moving the shaft, each groove will change the setting .25 units in either direction.

After getting the driver I had a hard time with the settings, the R11 has a nice video of it's adjustment and each setting (clubface, lie, loft) all have seperate adjustments. With the Nike when a change is made all 3 are effected, not sure if this a good or bad thing. Like I said before, I'm leaving mine at netural upright until I do some more work on my swing, but I really like the way this club hits the ball.

Good Luck

Thanks for the help. I feel really dumb saying this but I should've asked more questions. I was confused on what the plus and minus was for. I will be changing that today and hopefully can get the results I'm looking for. Thanks for the post though. I'll let you know how it goes. Good luck with yours as well.
