From the horse's mouth.. Planned Rory putter release sometime in Spring.  They had a bet as to how soon they would get asked this question.  I didn't want to disappoint

My MAN!!!

[QMany]

I'd love for NIKE to release limited edition putter headcovers. One per year or one per major would be clutch!

It took a thread like this to bring me out of my WRX retirement.

Is there any chance you can ask if they plan on releasing a left-handed version in the spring!!!!!

Please don't let it be right hand only!!!! Hit em' well tomorrow; looking forward to hearing more about the flex and pro. If you get a chance some close up address pics of both to compare head shapes!

[/quote]At least us lefties will always have the midnight 006 (of which I just found one brand new at a PGASS for $120).

[timmy1190]

Who's ready for a $600 putter?!!?

[hokieputter]

Great news Pure! Hit em well tomorrow!

Irons in Nov
Woods in Feb
Putter and wedges in late spring / early summer

Damn. Going to be an expensive few months! But I'm in!!

[/quote]given what they were able to pull off with the MM Protos...this seems like the next logical step. Release a 100 Rory protos for big $$$...and then 90 days later drop a new retail 006 in a different finish.

690 seems like a better number instead of 100

[Kylekoz17]

Now looking for someone to buy my air miles to help save up for the RORY!!!! As well as anything else I can find to sell

[csiachos]

I hope it's not such a limited release that those who want one can't get one.

My savings account will be now named "Rory 006 putter, insert price here. I'll buy regardless".

[CircleC29]

I am SO excited I'm not going to be able to sleep tonight! Really looking forward to the driver fittings, and now THE putter news! Awesome!!! Calling in sick for this one

Hit 'em well guys!

[Lesmond]

Hope you guys can answer how many CC's each driver are.

 

I just know the Vapor Flex is the smallest.

 

Can you also ask what will happen if I put a Double A battery in there.

 

 

Thanks.

[color=#282828]Also, after a few more cocktails and cigars.. this release is taking longer because they are "trying to give the consumers what they want".. I couldn't get specifics, but my interpretation is that it will be very close to what Rory is using [/color]

[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]

The first 690 puters could be offered to the people that voted [size=4] for[/size][size=4] it. [/size]

[size=4]aahhhh...dreams.[/size]

Michelle Wie put the Vapor driver in play today. She's hitting it well.

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





[size=4]Or the Proto TAI [/size]

Nice... Will be interested to see what comes out and how close it is to Rory's putter.

Have fun tomorrow, and I'm definitely looking forward to your review. I'm kind of hoping they have some of the irons there for you to hit, specifically the pro combos, either before or after you get fit for your vapor pro.

[scratchswinger]

Sounds like you guys are having a good time!!! Has Swan been pounding VOLTs all night and chasing them with straight MSI?

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

Too early to know.

Tonight was a blast. Tai bombarded some of Nike's top guys with questions during dinner and I threw in plenty at them after. Tomorrow is going to be awesome and hectic, I'll do my best to keep things current in here. Nike is going for more continuity across product lines and I think 2015 is going to be a huge year for them.
