The Oven: GolfWRX's Nike Vapor Driver Experience (trip recap and reviews on page 1!)

[j4m4k1d]

Looking good, can't wait to hear how these play! Jealous, but I'm planning on going to Archerfield next year so it'll be the next best thing.

I just hope it isn't a limited release, because that'll mean they skip the UK again! I'm ready to go all in for Nike, they already dominate my gym and football (soccer) stuff.

That should be easy for them, just release Rory's 006. Problem solved!





Or the Proto TAI

Wondering if it will be hand-made at the oven or mass market release.

Too early to know.

I'm thinking all the lead time (spring) means they have a lot of hand work to do!

What time will you guys be out testing? I gotta set my clock and drool over the new driver photos and maybe video.

[pr1mo990]

great news on the putter!!! With that much lead time they have plenty of time to make them exactly like Rory's... and like a few others said, lets hope it's not too limited of a release, if I try the minute they go on sale and don't get one and see them on eBay for $3k after waiting practically 2 years I'll be a "little" disappointed.

Can't wait for all the info that's about to blow this site up later today.

Awesome news on the putter!
I am really interested in how the Vapor Pro driver and new hybrids perform.

[color=#282828]We were asking a lot of pressing questions and many were answered positively, in my opinion.. we will get more details tomorrow during the formal day at the Oven. The Flex has the same footprint of a 460cc driver, but is a tad smaller in terms of CC's, it is slightly shallower and the lowest launching and spinning driver of the line, that is the gist I got tonight. I will say that I honestly can't wait for tomorrow, it sounds like they've got a few things up their sleeves. I asked a lot more questions, but will wait till I can better relay the main points.[/color]

Did they mention removable weights?

No offense to the other guys, but I would like to see some video of Tai pounding driver. Still sad I haven't seen any video of ThunderBuzzworth vaporizing balls at Reynolds.

[GC70]

Come on guys, you should be done eating your breakfast by now.

I agree I think more video's from these trips make sense. I wish on the Callawrx 1 trip I went to we did video stuff. Especially after doing the Vegas / Callaway commercial shoot stuff it was a blast to do a swing tip and callaway talks with harry. I got a lot of positive responses back and i think it's always better then just still pics. But it is exposing and some might not live up to their hcp lol I know that's not the case with Tai just saying i'm sure there are some vanity caps on the board

Morning is in full force with a good 45 minute VOLT hallway windsprint session and running stairs (for you scratch). We don't have our itinerary yet but without a doubt it is packed and full of surprises. More than likely no athletes will be dropping in at The Oven as all of them are playing this week... We were able to ask tons of questions last night about all of the new products (not just drivers/fairway metals) and will get the official run down from the engineers and technicians later.

Cant wait to hear all of the reviews. CT2 and Tini is the best driver and shaft combo I have ever hit, 6.2 TS was a close 2nd. Curious to see how the Vapors will perform.

Between this tread and Apple's new product release I will not get anything done today.

You guys picked a perfect day in DFW for this to happen.

[wldchld22]

At least one of you had the stones to rock Volt laces!

Im surprised they didnt ever let us see the "professional" video and pictures they took while we were there.

These Vapor updates cant come fast enough haha. If anyone at the Oven asks about me... I am here in Michigan on a miserable foggy day, alone at work

Who is the lineup here? I only recognize Pure and BJackson.

[Pure745]

Just for confirmation..

Swanry (Ryan) is standing next to Tai--can't help with the others.

[QMany]

Will someone ask them what the official Volt color is? I'd like to know. I feel like they have confused us with different but similar Volt and Venom Green colorations.

some variation of chartreuse

[bjackson]

Counter flex - Nike's solution to counter weight putters. Not a deep dive into this but they did mention it.
