Thanks, don't know why but I hardly ever go there.

At these prices I picked up another Flex just to try the LTD Shaft. Almost like buy the shaft get the head free deal.

 

Are the flexes for sale somewhere too? Love that club.

[idriveahonda]

Nevermind on Nike.com now...thanks guys!

[idriveahonda]

Oh and for anyone thinking about trying the Flex 440, do it. Rocket launcher. Not super forgiving (relatively deep head) but it's long.

Wow....

 

I am beyond surprised we haven't had any other brand nutswingers In here bagging on Nike clubs calling them junk so they lowered the prices to clear the junk out.

 

That's because at these blowout prices they're buying them too. Give it a few days/weeks then the BST will be overridden with blue clubs and the "couldn't beat my gamer so it's the suck, and the blue gave me headaches" comments will flow.

 

It's amazing how a price drop changes people's opinions even temporarily. "Shoot for a buck fifty I'll try that smurf club out." "But at $350+ they're gargamel" and every time I release the smurf someone will naturally go "oh I tried those blue clubs when they were cheap, can't believe you hit it like that because for me and all my buddies it was garbage" Purist either already have them or probably most are like myself and was just waiting for the end of year drop to replace our 2015 vapor gear. I loved the blue but seeing as I bought all the 2015 line earlier this year it made no sense to upgrade at retail.

 

Now that the prices dropped significantly and trade value on the 2015 stuff is still high it costs nothing to "upgrade". Simply putting the new shafts in old heads and off to trade. Too bad the 2016 fwys don't take the same adapters as the 2015's because I'd have them too.

 

Out of curiosity, do retailers allow you to remove the shaft from the new head you are about to purchase and throw it in the head you want to trade in?? I've never tried that.

If anyone is interested in trading me an x flex tensei for a brand new s flex tensei please PM me. Shaft only.

Are the Vapor Fly Hybrid's any good with the Diamana S+80?

 

On sale for $90.

 

Great Hybrid at a great price-jump on that !

I got the 3 $ 4 in the bag with the Diamana 80hy stiffs.

Sweet feeling and plenty of forgiveness.

 

And I have NEVER been a Nike guy.

Maybe that is part of their problem. Their site for golf equipment is lacking and is just an extension of their overall site. They could fix their web presence quite a bit.

I hit both the Flex 440 and the first generation Flex and went with the original. Best driver I've ever owned. YMMV.

I read someone's post erieronnthe vapor fly 2h not feeling like a true 17* club. Anyone else with the 2h, what's your opinion on it. I have a 3w and 5w but may drop the 5w for a 2h. How does it fit distance wise for you?

 

It's a good club. I got higher ball flights from it but I think the Vapor Flex hybrid set at 17° plays the closest to a 2 iron of any hybrid.

 

I carry the Vapor Fly Pro 2 iron and the Vapor Flex Hybrid. The flex hybrid off the turf feels like what I imagine my 2 iron would feel like it i could hit it off the turf.

[GGNick]

Just a heads up guys, I have two pairs of size 9.5 on the BST if anyone is interested!

[The_Timmy]

Problem is now I have 3 Nike heads. Two Flexes and a Fly Tour lol

 

3 heads are better than one.

What do people think of the fly fairways? Isn't a whole lot being said about them. Anyone go from the flex fairways to the flys?

I got a 3 and 5 wood this year and love them both. They're real easy to use off the tee and shaping shots off the fairway isn't a problem. The ball doesn't really "pop" off the face like some other woods though.

[BlackM00Nlight]

I like mine. 3 and 5 wood

[Lefty1993]

I have the 3w and it's fantastic. I've been struggling to find a 3w for a while but this one won't be leaving the bag anytime soon.

I know this is largely dependent on the player but do they produce higher spin ?

[Makuakane_Bear]

Did a search through the thread but wanted to get some more recent feedback from those who are playing/or have played the RZN Tour Dot Platinum- How are you enjoying the ball? Are you still playing the ball? What did you play before? If you have moved on, what are you playing now? What about the ball caused you to switch?

 

Edit for more questions: What do you like about them? What do you dislike?

 

I played the RZN Black from last year and loved the distance off the tee, how the ball flies in the wind, but I wanted a little more spin and slightly higher flight for normal shots with my irons. I still want the ability to flight the shot down. I played the Bridgestone B330 and now the Chrome Soft 2016. I am currently making the jump back to Team Nike for the ball (Just ordered 1 dozen custom RZN Tour Dot Platinums - Hyper Pink for my 3 daughters :) ) but would love to get some feedback if available.

[shakey]

I play the Dot as much as I can. I think I'm down to my last ball or two...will definitely be ordering more soon.

 

For me, it feels a little bit softer than the retail Platinum and spins a little more around the greens. Off the long clubs, I don't notice much difference in feel, but it seems to go a little higher with the driver.

Thanks Shakey! If it does that for me too I will be more than satisfied.

Well poop, that's what I get for not getting online here much on Sunday, I would have grabbed those dang white/silver LC4's.

I came in here to ask how they Tour Dot compares to Black and Plat. I'm playing Plat after years of switching between Wilson, Bridgestone and Nike.

 

Love love love the platinum. Wondering what I would get from going Dot vs. this years platinum.

[PaulCar65]

Personally I like the Regular Platinum over the dot. The dot feels just too soft for me off the driver. Maybe my swing just sucked when using the dot ball, but after 2 sleeves I'm going to stick to the platinum

Went to go buy the VFP driver today at golfsmith. I was real excited to walk out with it today until I hit it in the bay. My launch angle was good but i was spinning it way high. Consistently spinning it between 3200-4000. We even changed the shafts around and it didn't help. So I grabbed the M1 and the Ping G LS (not a fan but I know they're both very low spinning). My ss is about 110-112. I hit the M1 and G LS very well. I was getting about 280-295 carry with spin rates between 1900-2500. Then I went back to the VFP with the same shaft and still was spinning it too high. Anyone else have the problem with the VFP spinning too high? They were sold out of the flex so all I had to test was the VFP. Anyone have any advice? I really want to hop on this deal lol

I haven't really looked at the spin rates in them, but I would say that try tend to launch pretty high and spin enough when I'm hitting them into greens. Very pleased with the amount of spin, but not sure how they compare to other woods. I don't seem to be losing distance because they tend to take huge bounces in the fairway when hitting them from the tee.

[mcc0819]

The spin was high enough for me that I was losing 15-20 yards compared to other low spin drivers

Thanks for the feedback. I am wondering if I should have gone with the normal Platinum but I just got one box to start.

What shaft?! My blue board X is low launch low spin for me. Everyone is different though. I definitely launch lower and with way more ball speed than my previous G30 LST.

I'm currently gaming a 70g Blueboard in x flex. I also have a kuro kage tini 60g x flex and a rogue black 60 g xflex. Tried all of them in the VFP and was still spinning a bit too high. Same shafts in M1 or G LS and I was getting optimal numbers. I was disappointed cuz I'm a Nike guy and I realllllyyyyy wanted to walk out with the VFP
