A few people have connections to people at Nike, including myself. The whole point of the MMProto release was to gauge how many people would be interested in a mass produced version, pretty easy to track when everyone enters their phone number. It's not like these heads are handmade at The Oven, but rather forged in their factory with the rest of their clubs. The only difference is you paid to have them assembled at The Oven. Do you seriously think they would spend millions on R&D and only produce 40 sets? Technically whenever new products are put on tour to be tested they are all prototypes and magically they appear in stores as the exact same club. Oh yea and my source confirmed yesterday that they "may have heard talk about a set being released Monday". Good luck with your sale!

Excellent post my man!

OH MY GAWDDD this is the cream of the crop

do you have any idea what R&D means or how it works? obviously not... please go learn a thing or two before you comment again... geez![/quote]

Frustrated much? You couldn't broadcast how much this backfired any louder.

Nike has been saying "there's always better" while posting pictures of their blades. So yeah, your comments don't sound correct. Maybe they will announce a custom service, but there's little doubt that a new iron is coming. Tiger wouldn't come around to announce a custom service. No chance,
[/quote]
Yes and yes.

Also, the fact that Rory and Tiger were cited in all of the releases for the MMProtos as being an integral part of the development and they are part of all the Monday happenings seems like marketing/PR people doing their jobs correctly. I'm not (and I don't think others are either) saying that there won't be some new service available or other non-equipment related news on Monday, but it seems misguided to think that 8/18/14 will be a day without any news on Nike irons.

Remember that one time that Ford released candid shots of different parts of the car ahead of a car show and then showed up with a toaster? Yeah.. me neither.[/quote]

Bahahahahaha. Awesome.

Chasing the perfect blade became our obsession. That obsession resulted in the insane precision of the VR Pro in 2010. #TheresAlwaysBetter 08/18/14

Lesmond, I see that your TM irons have been removed from your sig already.... Looks like the MMProtos have already solidified their spot in the bag already..

No way it's new blades on Monday, has to be a new wedge.

[Lesmond]

PThomas, it is obviously a new announcement of a Nike signature ball alignment marker tool.

 

After Rory and Tiger are done with Fallon, they will go to Liberty National and reveal the new marker tool.

 

Can't wait.

Eh, I don't know about that. I think Tiger still marks his, but last I knew, he didn't use a tool to do it. It would be like him advertising something and not actually using it. Kind of misleading. I dunno, like a car for example.

With all those teasers about blades, I think all know what it's going to be....Rory inspired shoes, duh.

No idea, Nike is not giving us good enough hints for what they will new release will be.

 

They should do a better job.

 

Do you guys think it will be new solar sleeves colors? WOW.

Yup, I am going to practice with them often and use them on the course.

Kind of weird getting used to them, I had chunky CB iron and when I put a 6 MMPROTO iron down, it's so small, not used to that.

Will take time and practice to get them dialed in. Need to get a CB set in the long irons, to match the MM.

[hokieputter]

After all of the MMPROTO pics and then hitting my CFs, man the CFs seem HUGE! Which has been my only beef with the CFs. Hope they release a new CB set on Monday!!

[SwooshLT]

Lesmond you are hilarious my man! Enjoy those Protos. .....

"Sets"

[GMoney76]

#there'salwaysbetter has me believing that these are even better than the mm proto and if I can get 1 of xxxxxx retail sets, I can sell for $7500;)

[Lesmond]

I reached out to NG nation and they kindly posted my irons on their site. Cool.

The only blades I have previous of this set was the VR Pro Combo 8-PW ones. The feel of the short irons are same when you hit a center shot, real smooth.

I would say it gets better turf interaction with the sole shape.

Miss hits off the toe/heel provides better forgiveness in the MMProto, there is some weight/mass on those parts and helps the face not turn over.

We will find out on Monday on what the technology is behind these irons.

[howeber]

Rarely have I felt such anticipation for a golf club announcement.

where did you get your stamping done on your wedges?

PThomas, it is obviously a new announcement of a Nike signature ball alignment marker tool.

 

After Rory and Tiger are done with Fallon, they will go to Liberty National and reveal the new marker tool.

 

Can't wait.

 

I hope they release this in forged and a satin finish!
