Getting Back To Their Roots

Nike launched its first piece of retail golf equipment almost 10 years ago…man how time flies.  They have spent that time trying and somewhat struggling to put a face and identity with their golf brand.   At first their designs might have been considered more tour inspired…well at least when it comes to their shape.  Although the last few years Nike has been one of the only companies willing to REALLY push the envelope with head design.  It wasn’t to long ago that the color yellow on a club would have been considered product suicide…well Nike made it commonplace. You can thank Nike for the explosion of  colors now being used by all the other golf companies.  And their most recent patents would have most golf club designers head spinning.

Nike Gives The Gear Heads What They Asked For

Their original more tour inspired designs quickly turned to names like Slingshot, Powerbow, Dymo and Sasquatch…but with this new release of clubs they seem to have come full circle and gone back to their roots.  Many online golf gear heads would say it’s a welcomed departure from their most recent design trends.  It is kind of odd (actually very odd) but when it comes to irons most of the true gear heads out there don’t want any new advanced technology or terms like High MOI and Perimeter Balanced.  They have actually been begging Nike and others to make one of the most common designs every produced in golf.  They just wanted them to make the clean lined, super traditional, plain jane…”Standard Blade” or what Nike is calling the 2011 Nike VR Pro Blade.  So…Nike must have been listening…because not only did they give them that super clean standard blade but they also went back to a combo set the Nike VR Pro Combo Irons…that I still think is one of their most versatile designs to date.

2011 Nike VR Pro Line

Also included in this years line will be the 2011 Nike Method Core Putters…which I am sure was an obvious choice with the original Method’s success.  You will also see the new 2011 Nike VR Pro Driver , 2011 Nike Machspeed Black and 2011 Nike VR Pro Cavity Iron.

P.S. – Have Your Voice Heard
