even the "performance" vapor heads look incredible. i don't see an issue with the flex loft connection/fit to the head - to each their own. titleist/callaway have a systems that are similar aesthetically, tmag/adams are comparable, ping is unique in the fact there is a gap from the hosel/ferule to head - they are all unique. function is the most important part as far as i am concerned... then weight. why have an adapter that carries weight that affects swing weight?

i will echo the comments of a vast majority of you - the head shape is DIALED - even the titleist purest might consider looking at this head based on shape alone.

Nike having great looking heads is nothing new for me. I have been a huge fan of the [i]shapes[/i] of the heads since the VR Pro and LTD, the Covert line's [i]shape[/i] looked incredible. The Covert 2.0 Tour fairways took a step back in way of shape, but performance was good. I have always loved the shapes of the Nike heads, but they have just never worked out long term for me.. hoping to change this soon :)

The fairways look beautiful!

And I thought they couldn't improve over the looks of the Covert 2.0.

Correct. The driver looks amazing, the sound and feel are much improved. I was also using a ProV1x, the RZN balls still might feel/sound a little more harsh. The plan is to get a shaft dialed in and hit these clubs on a Trackman as soon as I can get my hands on them again.

I still liked playing the RZN Black more than the V1X though last year, so I will probably continue this trend. I've been playing the ball a lot longer than the clubs from Nike, it was a while before I got into the Covert and I do like the Covert 2.0. I will say that the line looks to be doing well, I will probably have a tough time not buying something from Nike next year for sure.

The Volt color way is going to need to grow on me, but I am anxious to see all of this stuff in person. Just a quick observation, but is that the round outline of the [b]infamous "tungsten plug" I see in the toe of Scott Brown's 60* Toe Sweep wedge?[/b]

Looks like it. I have the same "plug marks" on my tour wedges I have now.

Awesome pics!
Loving the volt, the swoosh and Nike in general! Never afraid of making a exiting change to sports equipment! And golf needs that!

My mp-54s are great, but I am craving the Vapor Pro Combos! Or maybe the Pro's, or perhaps a bit of both.. ?
It's going to be a long and hard winter for me, waiting for these to be available in Norway..
Good you guys will help me through it with reviews and pics! ?

loving the deep face on these woods, that first pic of the driver reminds me of my most favorite driver all time R510F PROTO(heck I still Play it from time to time, and it still performs!). Nike has really stepped up their game, hope they play as well as they look.

Man those fairways look good! They seem a little deeper than the Coverts. I hope they perform better than the Coverts so I can finally replace the T60s...

I have the Covert 5 wood. I didn't care for the 3wood. Hands down I love to Vr Pro LTD. I'm hoping the new Vapor FW will be even better. Can't wait.

man the whole woods lineup looks awesome. Like everyone's saying, the shapes look great. I'm most interested in what the Vapor Speed driver looks like from address and it looks really nice from what I've seen so far. And the fairway woods look great.

I'm a big Nike fan and am not saying this is a good/bad thing, but how many swooshes do you think are on the bags, HC's, irons, woods, hats, shirts, shoes of the Nike staffers when they're playing this Vapor setup? It's gotta be close to 50.
