Sorry if in wrong section. 

I am looking for a good driver to replace my wilson deep red 2 max and was looking at a nike vapor fly pro driver which looks great. I don't want a new one as a good one cost more than I want to spend.

So do you think that £70 including postage is a good price for a nike vapor fly pro driver in excellent condition?

That driver has held its value well over the years. It has a bit of a following. In terms of cost 70 Quid is a good, if not great price. I can't tell you whether it will out perform your Deep Red. Too many variables. 

My bag is an ever-changing combination of clubs. 

A mix I am forever tinkering with.

If I can recall correctly, that Deep Red 2 driver is a high launching forgiving driver that is probably aimed at a higher handicap.

Have you hit the Nike Vapor Fly Pro?

It launches lower with lower spin.  Probably superior in every way to your  Wilson if you have the swing and speed to take advantage of it.  So if it performs well for you it’s a small investment for a good driver.

Thanks for the help I have now bought it as it was a good price.

Good luck with it, hope it fits your swing, let us know.

Hopefully going to the driving range on sunday to test it out will report back after doing so.

Went to the driving range yesterday to try it out and boy it felt good. 

Just give it a half swing and a little tap and the ball goes 150 yards easy but give it a full swing with plenty of power and the ball goes a long way.  At times I was hitting the ball over the bushes at the end of the range which is not difficult as I think the range is only 200 yards long. 

I guess they don't expect people to hit it that far.

    • Day 521 - 2026-03-06 Got some good work in for 15 minutes or so with someone overseeing. Downswing work.
    • Day 201 3-6 Wider backswing trying to blend it all together for a full swing. Not looking good yet. 
    • Day 74 - 2026-03-06 Backswing work out back at the net. Slow.
    • Day 101: did a stack session. Worked on hands down in the mirror during breaks. 
    • Got told off yesterday for doing full swings and full speed swings so went to the range this lunchtime and did some slow speed stuff and freezers. A few videos from my session.    First few are DTL then some FO This one is of me looking at the club on the way back. I think I get my arms lifting all the way back, not that you’d know because YouTube keeps glitching on me.    Second one is two slow backswings. This glitches the first one but the glitch looks like a pretty good position so I’ll live. Second one works. Then another swing back and hit. When I’m not watching or really focusing on it it seems that my upper arm doesn’t lift at first, rather stays roughly where it is and I add the lift at the end so the club comes a bit more inside. I think that’s what I’m going to focus on. This one glitches a bit too but it’s really just pausing. This shows the club coming a bit more inside but not as laid off at the top Then a couple of face on ones And lastly one smoothie and one freezer at normal speed  Quite happy with how this went. I can see my arms are better when I take it slower. Also while I’m still pitching my arms out it doesn’t seem to be as extreme as yesterday. Light at the end of the tunnel 🙂
