Seung Yul Noh & Henley testing new MMProto Nike irons- Updated: Nike MMProto sale talk, Page 15

[DMarrero]

I love the look! Just bought the pro combo forged irons but may have to pick up these for 8-PW.

[PinHunter]

pretty.

[is1ander]

Freshest MB design I've seen in a long time. Well done, Nike. Well done.

[cota0429]

Will this be the club to knock my AP2s out of the bag??????

[Pure716]

I don't normally say this about Nike - actually I never have said this about Nike - but those could not look any better. Nike really nailed it with these. I am certainly happy that I held off on irons this year, 2015 looks to be the year of the iron.

[Dead Solid Perfect]

The look nice but am I the only person who thinks the logo looks like its in the wrong place.

These look really amazing and can't wait to see the finished product. I hope to see them phase out the Covert line and improve upon their drivers and fairways and replace them with something better.

I actually really enjoyed the Covert Tour 2.0 driver. The red finish can be off-putting, but it performed well, sounded good, had a very nice stock shaft, and was as anti-left as anything I have hit.

If I had any complaint about the rest of the covert line it is with the finish. In fact, I have traditionally thought the actual finish (not the color necessarily, but the actual quality) seemed a bit cheap in comparison to the other higher end OEM products, especially on the "non tour" models. They tend to looks well worn very quickly, had a lot of plastic components that never looked very durable, and the paint just never seemed terribly thick or durable. I would love to see a no nonsense, deep faced 3 wood in the line to compete with some of the low spin models like the RBZ Tour and the 913fd. Basically an updated t60 aimed at the player's market. Nike is really putting good stuff out now. Maybe the Oven can cook something up.

These look great, can't wait to demo

That's what I was thinking.. a no nonsense, adjustable version of the VR LTD with some added Nike Tech in there, maybe a modified compression channel (since Titleist has used something similar to their old one). The Covert line was a success for Nike, I just think they have more in the tank.

[justodd]

Can I beg for a combo set. I don't want to say what I would spend on a 2-5 Cavity back 6-pw blade setup with these.

[vjswing]

Perhaps the nicest looking clubs ever produced by Nike.

[jens]

Looks great in playing position, just fix the back i.e. smaller swoosh (heelside preferably), and lose the proto-name. Also, [b]please[/b] Nike; put the longer, "tour-only" ferrule on retail sets as well. You used to on the original blades and wedges, why not since then?

[creina29]

Interesting that the grooves aren't the X3X grooves. I'm curious to see if the wedges ditch the X3X grooves as well!

I was thinking the same thing. I wonder if there will be a MM wedge series too?

[MGWP]

The two iron is from the pro combo equivalent the NOH pictures are the blade version.

But dont they look fantastioc, love the simple sleek lines and subtle garphics and like everyone else dont add any badges or extras..lovely work from all at The Oven.
Theses along with the gorgeous new wedges will hopefully increase the market share if the powers to be in marketing promote smarter than they have in the past.

[resnor]

I LOVE my original Nike blades, and I laugh at those who think they don't have the game to play them. I always let my cavity-back friends hit mine, and they're surprised at how easy they are to hit.

I would absolutely love to test these when they come out. Haven't bought a new set in like almost 12 years.

[mgilly200]

Yes please! Man those look good. Well done Nike. For whatever reason I sold my Covert Forged 2.0s, dumbest thing I've done recently. I'm regretting it daily.

[Tcombs0914]

i like these and I am not a Nike guy

[SMGolfer]

WOW these seem to set up nicely! Very classic looking set up when you address the ball.

I completely agree with you, I do really enjoy the Covert Tour 2.0 though at the moment as I'm hitting it really well. I loved the VR LTD and I still have the VR Tour hanging around to hit every now and then and they feel amazing. But the Covert line has been a good one, I think they can step it up and combine more tech into it to make an outstanding driver and wood product. They are more than capable at this point as they've shown. I really think that the Covert 3 or whatever is going to go head to head with the 915 in my testing next year.

Also, from what I hear (which is dangerous when it comes to reps in the field) the new driver will be impressive. He wasn't wrong about these irons, so I'm hoping he won't be wrong about the driver. BTW he did say they (the irons) were game changers for their product line and by the looks they are packing quite a bit of tech hidden in the design. We will see how they perform though.

[youngwaldo]

Great shape and finish but not digging all those grooves.

Wk

[andre2you]

Those irons look nice. I tried the Pro Combos (didn't like the feel), I tried the VR Blades, they felt nice but they couldn't knock the Callaway X-prototypes out of the bag. I just purchased the Apex Pros and really like them but the rubber insert has fallen out of the PW (not good). I wonder if the Nike MMProtos will be a forgiving blade like the X-Prototypes (I loved my X-Prototypes but just wanted something new).

[jonn443]

Those are sexy! Too bad I don't have the game for them. These and the new Srixons are leading for best looking iron coming out IMO.

Did you hear if they were going to keep going with the cavity in their new woods line for next year?

[linkerpan]

I think the big swoosh makes them less classier. A non painted smaller swoosh would work

[Scratch2Plus]

Keep it simple. I would buy a set rightnow as is.
Please don't clutter up the back with stamping-graphics.

[tmcnulty30]

Resembles the Ping s55, maybe Nike is taking notes!

[Buffdaddy]

Is this Golf WRX? Where's the Nike hate? Rors wins The Open and everybodys in love with the swoosh. I've been down since day one, way to go Nike! Irons are just gorgeous.

[slaveaudio]

Reminds me of the Tommy Armour 845 Evo's forged. They don't look all that similar but just remind me when looking at them. These look really cool!

[rainkingjr]

Could be the first set of Nike irons to ever make the bag for me. Love them.
