I didn't see a thread on this club. One of the guys i know at Golfsmith told me about this club. He wanted me to try it out. I took a few swings with the club. Here is my impressions on it. 

Looks: This is one of the best looking clubs out there. The blue combo with the matte black finish is awesome. The only downside is that stupid blue Nike Swoosh on the crown. They seriously need to get rid of that. 

Feel: Amazing. It reminded me a lot of the SLDR, but better. It has this persimmon wood feel to it. 

Performance: It's a solid contender for the low spinning driver market. The ball has a very forward boring trajectory to it. I wasn't sure what setting the movable weight was in. I suspect it was forward. Just the way the flight was and how it felt. It would be interesting to see how it performs and feels if you move the weight rearward more. 

Overall, people need to try this club out. I would probably recommend it for the better players out there. 

An interesting note, only 40% of the club is actually metal. The rest is made up of that resin material they have been experimenting with.

@saevel25, I'll have to try it out if I can get my hands on it. I loved last year's Vapor Flex, and the use of the RZN is at the very least entrguing.

This isn't the one Rory is playing, is it? Doesn't look like it from what I can tell...

Does the 440 refer to the cc? Smaller head?

I'm not sure that is the one Rory is using. I think he's using the Nike Vapory Fly Pro. 

Yes that means it's 440 cc

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By WillieT · Posted

      Day 27 (7 Dec 25) - Got in a few swings with 9i and hard foam balls in backyard.  Setup weight fwd (rebuilt left foot really lets me feel the weight in a slightly painful way) - kept the backswing to around 9 o’clock focusing on contact and resulting divot pattern.  Like how the hard foam balls come off the face (almost like real balls in sound).  A good abbreviated session as I only able to hit about a dozen balls in the fading light.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By iacas · Posted

      Not the part I was replying to: Handicaps did not go down much (like 0.14 on average IIRC?) when we went from 10/20*0.96 to 8/20. And a good chunk of that was from the +s.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      I think he meant in the UK. The old system was completely different from the new one. 10/20 x 0.96 vs 8/20 would really only impact very low handicaps I think. The 0.96 serves to increase differentials for plus differentials, where 8/20 vs 10/20 works to lower differentials for all. I don't know many plus golfers who would be upset that their index got lower. A lot of really good players don't even really keep their handicaps up-to-date. They're much more interested in their WAGR rankings which get them entries to certain events.

      Day 433 - 2025-12-07 Got some work in after Junior Elite before a night of sports (and the return of my wife!). Backswing work. Similar to what a lot of my juniors are doing.
