No way traditionalist TW plays this sucker.

I'd put money on him playing it. It has a black crown, and he had no problem switching to the red covert.

Yup, not even TIger himself can see the cavity/sole and volt color.

No problem at all, other than the fact I think he hit 3 fairways. This year.

[color=#99ff00]It appears to me that Nike has gone down the path that TMAG did a few years ago. 3-4 years ago Nike was borderline Titliest, they had very pure looking players clubs with no gimmicks, they packed technology into a traditional look. Then they wen't red, performance wasn't the same, then they wen't red again and quickly, now they are going neon green, basically the only color brighter than red. Yes there might be technology and for all I know the club might perform as good as anything, but the green is there to be seen on TV. I remember reading some posts a few weeks ago about how Nike did studies of what portions of the club is seen most on TV and that's where the green will be. The whole damn bottom of the club is green. Basically three years in a row now Nike is not even a viable option for me in regards to woods because of the red and now green. Titliest, TMAG and Callaway are my only options for woods this coming year, maybe Cobra, but certainly not Nike, [/color]

I love the volt color and super excited for the irons....however, that's a lot of volt on the driver.

They should of kept the cavity back black and the compression channel volt. that would look super cool.

Looks alone 915 is still in the lead.

My thoughts as well.

I think more black on the bottom with highlights of volt would have looked very sharp while still standing out for the broadcasts (I'm thinking that's why they went overboard with the volt in the cavity.. Ala TM's white).

All I can say is WOW. and I am not sure thats a good thing. For me its a little loud, and I love Nike, especially the Covert Red. The Volt driver may be too much for me, but I will reserve final opinion until I see it in person and get to hit it.

From underneath they look terrible, even more so than the Covert's.

Looking forward to porking balls with this baby.

[quote name='crocop88' timestamp='1411038743' post='10138827']PLEASEEEE do not be real! This has to be a joke. WTF is that thing? LOL

People always mocking TM for their white and gimmicky driver..but Nike takes the cake.

As someone said above, looks like it belongs in walmart. How could you take someone on the course seriously when they pull that out lol.[/quote]

Anyone who thinks this is even coming close to being as hideous as what Taylormade has puked out is kidding themselves. It's the sole of the club. Unless nike put a huge volt racing stripe on the crown, they aren't even close.

Looks like it could be just 2 variants. Vapor Pro (glued) and Vapor Flex (flex adapter). Hard to tell for sure from the pics.

Either way, can't wait to test them out!
[/quote]
I see three. Std Vapor that has the volt in the channel. Vapor Flex that's adj. Vapor Pro looks glued. But I could be wrong.

Sorry if this has been answered, is the crown matte black or shiny?
[/quote]
Just guessing here, but to me the pics look like the old VR ltd black. But I'm going by how the edges around the volt look.

That. Would. Be. Money. I'm going to end up with 2 new sets of clubs in 2015. One on a staff contract and a full "Vapor" bag. Been playing Nike for almost 4 years, would be hard to quit cold turkey...

If they go VR LTD head shape with black crown and combined Compression/Covert technology underneath they are all over it with a dead set winner. Loved every iteration of those clubs and to combine them with traditional top and marketing bottom is a master stroke.

Love the Volt.
Giddy excited.
