Nike Victory Red VR Driver: More Images + Information!
Information has been coming out slowly about Nike's 2010 product schedule. Last week Nike Golf had its sales meeting with some of the PGA Tour's top players like Paul Casey, Anthony Kim, and Justin Leonard.
There are several models rumored to be in the line up, a 400cc VR Tour Driver that will not feature the STR8-Fit as well as 420cc, 440cc, and 460cc head sizes that should feature the STR8-Fit system. We have heard that only the 460 will have the STR8-Fit from some sources but have also heard the 420 & 440 will also have that feature.
The Skinny from Nike is that the connector is now 10 grams less that the previous STR8-Fit which allows more weight to the center of the club vs the heel hosel side. The 400cc Tour version has a traditional pear shape while all other models we are told have a more game improvement design. I dont know how they shaved 10 grams off of that connector.
If it was over 10 grams in the first place it radically changed the parameters the club head was designedfor. IMO this whole adjustability thing is a gimmick and doesnt need to be in the bag of tour pros at all except from the angle of marketing and sales. For the average player yea it's fun but how often do you use it after the honeymoon period is over? I know with my Dymo STR8 & R9 After about the 2nd or 3rd round of tinkering I was over it.
