That pretty much goes for any oem nowadays in this downward economy.

True, some more than others though that's for sure.

Yep, for sure!

I am really liking these, probably get a set of the PCs when they are released. Just have to figure out what shafts to go with.

Question, anyone know in the pro combos can we get any configuration or we stuck to 3-7 cavity and 8-w blades?

[Scratch2Plus]

I don't think the 8/9/P will be the pro blade if you order the Pro Combo set. It's their Muscle Cavity.
Won't be the Pro Blade (MM Proto) in the short irons unless you can special order them that way? I'm sure there will be options.

You can always order the pro short irons and pro combo mid and long irons.

Yes you can mix and match.

Keep in mind the Pro Combo lofts are 1* stronger than the Pro blades. Speed irons FYI are 3* stronger than the blades, and standard shaft is 1/2" longer.

I believe Nikes website stated that they can alter lofts 2* up or 2* down on any set through custom order. That should make it easier to fill in the gaps for the folks who are going to build a mixed set.

[buckjob]

they look pretty good like the pro combos the best i think

I think you can pre-order on Oct 1. I am ready to place one for Vapor Combo in 4-6 irons. Might as well throw in the Rory 2 iron.

Yep, I confirmed with DDs that preorders will start on 10/1. I'm going with 3-PW in the Pro MBs, recoil shafts. Should be a nasty set!

I seriously hope they offer these vapor's with cosmetics like the mm proto's... with no black paint (or whatever it is) and just a chrome finish with a black swoosh. It'd be even better if they just offered them all chrome without any paint fill for any part of the club. Those remind me of the first blades nike offered around 2006 when they were just chrome with the black swoosh and i know some people removed the black so they were all chrome. Really nice looking and very non-flashy which i believe most golfers want.

I really like nike blades and want these new vapor pro's because the technology makes sense, but with the black paint and neon (excuse me, "volt" green), i seriously may never buy these unless they offer other cosmetic options. I understand fashions trend in cycles and they apparently are trying to bring back the 80's, but i really don't want to start wearing flourescent again like i did when i was 10. I guess I should break out my body glove shirts and those shirts that changed colors, and wear my converses too if i buy these neon green clubs....No thanks, If i'm not supposed to wear a white belt sine i'm over 36, then I'm pretty sure i can't wear pastel/fluorescent shirts and play neon green clubs...

C'mon nike!!! Give us some basic classic chrome vapor irons so we can wear our khaki's, navy blue shirts, and just be plain old golfers. I know i'm not alone and know i'm not the first to post this, but i felt compelled to contribute. BTW, I will use iron covers on these and i currently use iron covers...

Just buy the JDM version and change the paintfill, Wolla!

[rcaddell23]

Anybody mentioned how odd the Pro combos look at address? The toe is kinda pointy... has an odd GI look to it. Looks nothing like the pro.

Not sure how they look in person, but the pics are kinda disappointing. I don't mind the look on the back, but the look at address has to be money for me to bite.

Wow what are these things? Are they crazy?
Alright they aren't bad
They are starting to grow on me
They look better every time I see them
I need to stop looking at these
Alright just take my money!

Irons for sell on BST!

Made birdie on this hole. 389 yards downwind. Hit my driver and had about 127 yards left. Hit my 9 iron and landed 8 feet on the left side of the hole. Safe to say, I can handle the pro in7-PW but need the Vapor Combo in 4-6.

I wonder if the woods will be a covert 3.0...or will it go in a whole other direction?

I think ENTIRELY new direction...

At the Oven a year and a half ago the guys at Nike were pointing towards 2015 being a VERY big rollout for them. That makes me think all new woods as opposed to just tweaking the current line.

They showed us NOTHING at the event last week, aside from the headcovers! What a tease...

Didn't the headcovers say Vapor on them?

Would lead you to believe Covert 3.0 isn't gonna happen.

I'd love to see a updated VR Tour LTD type of driver. I just hope Nike goes away from the CB type of driver for their next release.

I agree with this but I don't see it happening. The results from the CB driver have been too good I think. I could see them making the CB smaller and adding a compression channel. All black with silver/volt accents. Put me down for 2 haha

[GMoney76]

Apparently the vapor pros are so good, you don't even need a swing coach

If they continue with the cavity in their woods I hope they make them more durable. The plastic piece in my CT 1.0 cracked after about 5 rounds. I did not even look at the 2.0's for this reason. It will be interesting to see what they come with next!

[TheMoneyShot]

Does anyone know when the Nike sales meeting is taking place? I know it's right around this time every year but was not sure of the exact date.

Well, they essentially added a cavity to a blade, which I'm sure helps.
