[quote name='AUTIGER07' timestamp='1408415425' post='9961903']If the club looks good from address, feels good, and performs does it really matter if the swoosh that can't be seen during a swing is red, black, vapor green, or puke yellow?[/quote]

Exactly!

[quote name='Pete Paxhia' timestamp='1408414746' post='9961781']People get on Nike releasing different colored irons. What about the junk Taylor made puts out every 3 months[/quote]

Agreed. TM is struggling to keep top spot.

[greenknight9]

There is no way that they would introduce another iron offering(s) in the spring when they release their woods after having this massive event, could they?

The speed version is not forged I do not believe. The PC and blade models have forged written on the club and it is called out in the specs.

I was really really hoping for a lefty gi forged model, just like the covert forged. Maybe the PC can be that club, I'll have to wait and see. The problem is that I doubt many retailers and pro shops will have a lefty version to demo. Hoping I'm wrong though.

It's either that or hope Scottvw is right about whatever happens in 2015, unless this is what nike meant when they said 2015 would be their biggest year yet.

I really don't care for the volt. And I'm one of nikes biggest fans. I also fit the demo they are apparently targeting. I'll wait and see how they perform before I pass judgement.
[/quote]who are they targeting? Young kids can spend 1k on irons? College kids? There demographic is 28-45

I was just referencing an earlier post saying they are targeting a younger generation.

[Eric05]

We'll tigers not playing till nov dec so it will be awhile till we see these in his bag.

[tigercolt77]

I don't exactly dig the colors but will not pass judgement until I see them in person and more importantly hit them. The color scheme is probably so they are easily recognizable when played by their tour guys (like a red driver) and to be different. Will they sell a ton of the blades? Probably not, but the PC's and the GI version will probably do really well if they perform. I can't wait to give the PC's a try, kinda wish the combo set included the actual Vapor Pro's in the lower irons but again, let's see how they perform!

If tiger puts em in the bag u know it's the real deal!!
[/quote]

If he doesn't Nike is full of BS. Tiger is supposedly one of the guys behind the design of these irons.
[/quote]
If that's true I'm guessing tiger was in with the color scheme as well?[/quote]

Safe bet. Matches his muscle pharm bag.

No, it doesn't look like it. Only the blades and PCs are forged.

someone said earlier in this thread back to normal grooves but that is not the truth... Says in the spec sheet x3x grooves.
[/quote]

Dunno if you were referring to my post, but I said it was good to see them go back to 13 grooves. They used 16 on the VR Pros.

[IM_ALL_IN]

Letdown to be honest. I'll reserve final judgment until seen and hit in person, but you'd need a crowbar to open my wallet for them at this point.

It looks like somebody in the graphic design/marketing department messed up on the picture of the iron at address... that or those grooves are going far out on the toe.

[TheMoneyShot]

I wonder what the new wedges will look like?

[francis89]

I much prefer the MM proto look, the yellow/volt/green/whatever Nike swoosh gives the club a cheap looking appearance in my opinion.

[hokieputter]

IMO black and volt is much better than black and red. But they should have just taken the MMPROTOs and painted the swoosh volt and that's it.

The name Vapor doesn't bother me one bit. Who cares what a club is named?? Millions of people bought Rocketballz crap..
