Call me a skeptic but I am not sold on videos like this. Talking about a millimeter here and a gram or 2 there just does not sound credible to me. Even for such a talented player as Tiger. Sitting there talking about the collaboration between a "master craftsman and the best iron player of all time" just comes off as stroking their collective egos.
That Tiger can get his irons perfected when they feel "just a little off" bears no relevance to the clubs they would put in our hands.
This whole talk around the circle lacks credibility if you asks me and just comes off as more dishonest marketing.

Probably not 1g in weight but a 10 or so thou can be spotted easily enough if you know what you're looking for[/quote]

[quote name='smp220' timestamp='1408675922' post='9984497']Is anyone else curious about Nike hosting a product launch at the golf club that was essentially built by Reebok? I wish someone on here had some insider info on that dynamic, if it was even issue. I know the company was sold several years ago and the Fireman's have moved on but still interests me.[/quote]

If you're referencing an issue between nike and liberty national, I can sure you there was no issue. Rory is even a member now.

Anyone know when the Vapor staff bag will be available?
[/quote]

Probably next year, when woods come out? That's just my guess.

RZN red bag is also no more for next year. If the volt headcovers are to match the bag.

I asked my rep about this the other day. At that time, he was still in the dark on product for the upcoming year. He got the iron info just like we did.

He did guess that it would be first off the year with the rest of the bag release.

Thanks for the info. I really like the looks of that staff. Heck, I'm buying the irons so I might as well get the bag too!

The bag looks REALLY good with the new headcovers as well...I was told those are the new headcovers for next year.

Ha just having a bit of fun. There are some stories with Tiger's legendary ability to 'feel' things others cannot. We probably have all heard a version of the bubble under the grip story too. I can say that Hank Haney POST SPLIT from Tiger told me and several WRX members that Tiger is the best ball striker ever. Best hands ever. He can do things with a golf club that others can't. Sense things that others can't. Listen to how he talks about his clubs and growing up with persimmon and blades. Pretty cool.

Think of a highlight reel of recovery shots to win tournaments. How many could you put on it for Tiger? 30 perhaps? More? Tiger won shaping the ball. Knowing what he can do with the club, ball, lie and target. He won on days and weeks with his "B game" or worse. Best hands and best feel ever IMO. No offense to Rory at all, but he runs away with tournaments. When he's on, he goes wire to wire like a machine. I don't know if I can remember a recovery shot off the top of my head, yet with Tiger I can probably reel off 10 or so. Rory has such a good swing though. Simply amazing to watch it in person.

I could live with that. But I'd have to wait for my Raw wedges to wear out first.

I've got dibs on that 430 and that shaft when you move on to something bigger & better. I only hit it once but that one shot is haunting me.

And I'm a "volt" fan. My Nike tennis shoes have plenty of it.
