WOW! This was one of my favorite drivers at the Outing and I was fortunate enough to put it through it’s paces on Day 2 at a course that was fairly narrow. The Torque Wrench provides a sound and a LED indicator to signal when the shaft and Str8-Fit adapter are fully secured. That being said, I was pretty impressed with the results of this setting but found it just as impressive to use the Torque Wrench that comes with the club. Generally I thought changing the face and head alignment to be simple and straight forward to use but once you find a setting you like, I suggest you leave it. The setting I used during testing was ‘neutral upright’ meaning the face position was square with an extra degree of loft. This includes 15 options for either left or right ball flight and 2 for neutral ball flight which means multiple options for shot-creation. There are 32 different possible face angle combinations which is more than enough for the most discerning golfer. If the Compression Channel powers the club, then the Str8-Fit technology steers it. Next is the Str8-Fit Tour Adjustability feature. This produces increased ball speeds across the redesigned face technology found on all of Nike’s drivers. It acts like a trampoline and ‘springs’ the ball forward once the chamber compresses. The previously mentioned Compression Channel is what powers this club. This is the ‘soul’ of the club and is the heart of all its technology and performance. When you turn the club over you’ll notice a red concave channel, or Compression Channel, that is positioned near the face of the club. Flexes include X, S, R, A and the R shaft was the flex tested. The lie angle I tested was 9.5 and the shaft length is 45.75 which is available with an Aldila Voodoo shaft that comes standard. The face angle is also open 2 degrees to allow more workability of the ball and to assist with shot making. In fact I thought the 440cc head was more pleasing to the eye at address, it was easier to line up, and also felt more comfortable during the takeaway portion of my back-swing due to the smaller head. A 460cc head is available in a 10.5 and 11.5 loft. You notice the slightly smaller head as opposed to the more familiar 460cc drivers but you certainly don’t miss the other 20cc’s. Nike has chosen a more traditional ‘pear shape’ for the VR Str8-Fit Tour and offers it with a 440cc head. A new player may notice the larger than normal hosel which incorporates the Str8-Fit technology but that quickly gets accepted and is forgotten quickly. Nike Golf certainly has done this in addition to becoming a leader in golfing technology. Nike Golf was formed to also to manufacture and sell golf clubs and balls in order to cash in on the growing golf market. Nike Golf was formally established in 1998 at a time when Nike was among the top five marketers of golfing apparel, primarily on part to Tiger’s immediate name recognition with the Nike brand. In 1995, Nike signed emerging superstar Tiger Woods to a 20-year, $40 million endorsement contract even though the company did not have a line of golf equipment or golf balls.

Last month at the inaugural THP Golf Outing, I was able to demo and put into play for a round one of Nike’s newest club offerings for its 2010 line, the Nike VR Str8-Fit Tour driver.
