Whoa..those look like a trophy that you'd win in an amateur tournament or something lol. I'd be scared to hit those!

Or Elvis' belt buckle. There is such a thing as "too much"!

LOL, I could be wrong.  Maybe GMAC and Keegan actually own it. ;) Whatever it is, BTW, it's including an appearance on Jimmy Fallon by Rory and Tiger.** **I think it's officially Ror

Not too shabby Edel Blades... but the Vapors are great in a MOMA kind of way.

These kind of remind me of a floral couch that was given to me...

Bingo! @Valleygolfer nailed it. I was searching for the right comparison but Elvis' belt buckle was the closest I got. The floral coach is bang on! Lol.

Regardless, if they make @Mr. Desmond , I am happy for him. I did not say it to offend. :beer:

I did say they "were not shabby." :drool:

But at $4,500 for the Edel Engraved Blades, about 3X more than the normal Edel CB, I'll pass without regrets.

But I'll say this for Nike, they've modernized the look of a blade.

I guess I just don't know enough about clubs, because I don't really see anything special about these in terms of "aesthetic" design.. I can't comment on their "functional" design, but I would love to hear more about how these are any different from other irons on the market.  Call me reluctant to buy into the hype!

It's not often that I agree with Eyad, but I agree, aesthetically they do nothing for me. Not crazy about the black plasticky part with the neon green swoosh, would have liked to see them with plain steel look across the back.

Nope, me neither.

I'm with you guys, I don't like the look or neon green swoosh.  I guess they are trying to steal some market share from the Cobra Bio-Cell irons.

Idk, those engraved ones look like something Cheech and Chong would have played... Dating myself now...

I'm not a nike fan myself but once I saw this lineup of vapor irons I thought wow, if nothing else they caught my eye and clearly made us all talk about them. I think Nike already won. the neon green can be a turn off for some, for others me included it looks nice (I like green). I think those that like nike won't be bothered by the green. those that don't like it probably wouldn't buy the irons even if the swoosh was red, black or whatever their fav colour was. I think and this may only be me here, but I think nike wants to bring in a new colour and move away from the victory red. Rory is the new face for nike and with all of Tigers problems maybe this is a way for nike to phase out an "old" look and introduce the "new" nike, Rory's Nike. But that could just be me.

I've never really liked any of the Nike irons I've tried, but today I demo'd the Vapor Pro Combo. Other than being a little too trendy looking (the bright green is too much for me), they are a really nice iron. Not sure I'll throw them into the running (purely based on how they look) for my next set though (which the front runners are Mizuno MP and Srixon 745). But for anyone who is not off-put by the styling... Might be worth checking them out

      Driver and Fw3 Swing Weight Changes, Make Sense?

      By BananaBomber · Posted

      I am currently playing a Cobra Ltdx LS 9 degree driver and Cobra Ltdx LS FW3. Both with Tensei White stock stiff shafts and original weights of 12g (heel) and 3g (toe). My miss is usually a pull fade or sometimes a slice, swing is out to in. Driver swing speed about 112 mph. Grips are stock regular. Intended change: Driver: Switching to Tensei White x-flex one inch shorter which I suppose would be 44,5? Changing heel weight to 18g. Changing grip to Golf Pride Z-grip cord midsize. Change hosel setting to standard draw. FW3: Changing heel weight to 16g (apparently not available in FW weights, but supposed to be something called "internal weight" a club builder can add which fits between the weight and the screw?). Change grip to Golf Pride Z-grip cord midsize. Changing hosel setting to standard +1. The goal is to 1) get better grip since I tend so lose grip in warm and moist conditions with the current grips and 2) mitigate the misses to start more straight with less side spin. Also considering adding the Cobra Ltdx LS FW5 instead of my old Taylormade R9 and getting 14g heel and 6g toe weights with the same grip as the others and hosel setting standard +1.   All of the above is based on conversations with ChatGPT and, as everyone knows, it can come up with pretty much whatever but I spent a few hours asking about different perspectives etc and this was the recommendation. So, my question is basically, does it make any sense?   Thanks.
