Nike VR driver

[JML22]

so the vr drivers were priced at like 480 or whatever and have dropped to like 450 now
i was talking to a nike rep today and he saisd they wouldnt drop much into the 300 range
Why did they make this driver so damn expensive that it wont drop into the 200 range?

it will drop to the 200 on down range when they come out with another adjustable model.

[JML22]

so a year or two?
he said it woulldnt be likely it would drop into the 200s next year
but he could also just be trying to sell me on a 450 dollar driver
No way i'd ever pay that much

As said when the new model comes out (more than likely 2011) the VR will drop in price.

As an example I paid £269 (when released it was £360) for my Nike Dymo Str8-fit last September 2009, they brought the VR out at the beginning of 2010 and I can now buy my driver for £119, but that is the same for any retailed product from PC's to TV's etc.

Just to add that the VR Str8-fit has been reduced in the UK already.

RRP £360 and cheapest I found is £261 online.

Yeah. Reps for most companies will tell you that the club won't drop below a certain price, but they will. A year from now, Nike will have a new driver and your golf shop will still have a dozen or so brand new VRs they want to sell, and the price will drop. I bought my Dymo2 for $120 or so a few months ago, and I would be surprised if VR drivers weren't around this price next year at this time.

I find it hilarious that Nike thinks it can sell a driver for $480. They serious?

[HookEmHorns]

You would probably be surprised how many they sell at $480 though. They tell people they won't come down because most people don't notice that prices fall so fast when the new models come out. That way Nike can get a huge profit off their new clubs while they can. Absolutely ridiculous that they do try to charge people that much for a drive though.

man it's a good driver though i love it

it's ridiculous that people would buy a driver at that price.

Yeah even my mom is lookin at brand new fairway woods
she bought a new driver last year 300+
so stupid
not like she'll ever benefit from brand new gear, start by curing the 5000 yard slice

I love my VR/WB Combo Driver. Best I've owned so far.
