Nike VR Tour vs VR Tour str8 Fit

Appart from the hosel is there any difference in head shape and size?

I think the VR Tour is a smaller head, a little different internal weighting and a way better shaft.

The VR Tour is 420cc, the St8 fit is between 440 and 460 depending on loft.

The VR tour comes with the Project X as the standard shaft, whereas the str8 fit comes with the voodoo as standard i think. The VR Tours face is 2 degrees open whereas the str8 fit can be whatever you want when you sweet the hosel.

I hit them both on a launch monitor on Monday and hit both the vr tour and str8 fit with the project x shaft in it, the VR tour launches lower and gave me better ball speed off the club.

Hope this helps

The VR Tour head shape reminds me of the Ignite 410

I picked up a VR tour str8 fit in a golf store and it didn't look anything like what I was expecting, it has much more of a c shape to it. Havn't seen the regular VR tour so I suspect that is more pear shaped. But to me the str8 fit tour still seemed smaller than 460cc, it looked around 440cc but I could be wrong.

I thought that it was only the 11.5 that was 460cc....though having looked at the nike website, it says all the str8 fit are 440cc, so it looks like your right.

vr str8-fit 8.5 and 9.5 are 440cc. 10.5 and 11.5 are 460cc. According to my rep...who has told me twice...the Vr Tour driver is a 400cc head.

Notice you pointed out that the VR tour is 2 degrees open. Did you adjust the VR Str8-fit to mimick the 2 degrees open with the project x shaft to make the comparison as close as possible? Because 2 degrees open on the Str8-fit would mean 2 degrees less loft as well, maybe lower flight trajectory then?

Yeah i did get the rep to adjust the st8 fit to make sure everything was exactly the same. The rep was recommending getting the str8 fit, even though the numbers werent quite as good as it gave more flexibility in changing the lie etc. Though i was convinced, the VR tour was more solid, higher ball speed and ive got a low handicap so all things considered i probably wouldnt have used the str8 fit adaptor very much.

That is so funny when you so called low handicaper come on there and stat that the str8 wouldnt work for you, why? I hope becuase you are a low handicap golfer because that has nothing to do with it the STR8 is on tour and I am sure that there PGA status is a little better than your "low handicap". If it works for one it may not work for the next person that is it, nothing to do with handicap. The idea of the imix and STR8 are a great concept for the golf industry. The option to switch lie angle, face angle etc. is great. So again it has nothing to do with your handicap if you want to use the STR8 or imix concept.

I think that missing the point of most low handicappers. Sure, the STR8-Fit would work for anyone, but someone that understands their golf swing and has a good idea of how/when/why they mishit the ball would tend to adjust the club once and be done with it. That might not mean they are 1.5-2 degrees open as in the case of the VR Tour, but the trend wouldn't be to adjust it all the time. So again, you are right in that it would work for anyone. But a lower handicapper would be more reluctant to make adjustments to their setup.

I'll leave my handicap out of this equation - but personally, there was a major difference in the feel of these 2 clubs when I hit them side by side. The VR Tour felt solid, ball came off the face well, and was long. The STR8-Fit felt less solid, came off the fall well and was long as well. The major difference TO ME was the feel of the club and the feedback I got from the face. Both are great clubs but the VR Tour was the choice for me. Thus, its up to my swing to work with the driver I choose to carry in my bag....and that is the VR Tour with no adjustability.

To each's own....

I think he's saying he got better numbers with the glued VR Tour than he did with the Str8 Fit Tour setup the same. Therefore, If the VR Tour has the correct shaft, loft and face angle for him he wouldn't be needing an adjustable club, thats how I read it. I don't think he was insinuating that the Str8 Fit is for higher handicappers.

This was exactly my point, im glad someone took the time to read my post properly and understand it! The glued VR Tour gave me higher ball speed numbers and distance, i also like the feel off the face and the VR Tour is a cheaper option for me because the PRoject X shaft is standard.

Woods991: I was by no means insinuating that the st8 fit was for high handicappers or trying to sound arrogant and insinuating i was too good for the st8 fit.......if you check my signature, my previous club was an i mix and also hit the FT I for a season.....i will hit whatever works for me....which in this case was the VR Tour.

In future i would suggest reading a post thoroughly before insinuating i was talking a club down in a manner i wasnt. I am not arrogant nor big headed about my golf game and dont appreciate the insinuation i am. Apologies if i was not clear enough.

So anyway...back on topic...yeah the VR Tour is awesome. Anyone have feedback on the fairway woods?

If you can get past the look of the hosel then the fairways are awesome, and this is coming from someone who played hybrids because I never found a fairway wood I could hit

I was really really impressed with the fairways....if i hadnt bought the driver i could have afforded the 3 wood. But having said that im happy with my 3 wood, then again who am i kidding, ill probably end up trading it in at some point!

LOL... I said the same thing to my club guy... his response was "you should be looking at the ball, not the hosel!"

After that I took the VR 3 wood for a test drive... amazing!! I never thought anything would knock my CB2 out of the bag, never. The Nike killed it! I hit my CB2 against new CB3, Ping i15, TM TP and Nike VR STR8-Fit... nothing came close to the VR. The VR had lower spin rate, faster ball speed and the perfect flight (for me). I'm not real interested in the adjustable part of it, but I will play with opening the face a hair, but also would be more than happy to have a glued version if they made it.

The fairway woods are pretty good actually, but the Voodoo standard shaft is not as good as the Project X on the VR Tour driver... big surprise, right? With a better shaft, I think it's a winner. Great feel, and with the 15* 3 wood set at 2* open I still had no trouble elevating the ball. I just have to find a heavier shaft to swap with the Voodoo and it'll be in the bag for a while.

For what it's worth, I took a black sharpie to the sliver part of the STR-8 hosel... much easier to look down at the ball without distraction.

I apoligize maybe I mis understood you and what you were saying in your post. But moving on I am a 12 handicap and hit both and I agree the glued version is much more solid. I played the R9TP last year and at 420 cc the VR Tour driver is similar but much longer. The stock Project is sick! probably one of the best stock shafts on the market today! The reduction of spin was unreal, have nothing but great things to say about the VR Tour.

Reading what everybody is saying is making more and more excited to get my 3 wood shipped in.
