And they should call it the dot. With a dot on it

I bought four of those packages. Went well for me.

Haha.[/quote]
Oh me too, I must have bought 8 of them total. They kept going down, and when we got the volt balls in that's when I bought the most of them.[/quote]

I bought them in like a 2 day span. $91 each.

Now I have balls to hopefully last me the whole year. Haha.

I bought two at a time, they kept going down, finally at 68 each plus my discount I had to buy a bunch! Sold the headcover a on eBay!

Interested to see the new offerings for 2016

[Pure745]

Take it with a grain of salt, but I heard from a buddy who plays on tour, that the next line will be blue with volt accents. The guys from Nike are all pretty tight lipped and I don't really ask them for inside info. My hopes would be for a Flex version of the Pro with Flex ball speeds and spin, but Pro forgiveness. I think the Vapor line was a huge success for Nike and made steps towards a perception of legitimately good clubs.

I would like to see a line that is more classic with Nike flair in addition to some of the flashier models they have. I have seen a few Nike clubs in play at competitive AM events, but still not [i]that [/i]many. I have been full Nike for a while up until recently where I went back to Titleist for a little experiment. The 915 D4 has beat out my Flex for sure. If I were to put a Nike driver back in now for tournament play, it would probably be the Pro just for the forgiveness. The irons and wedges have been great. I would like to see a more nimble version of the Pro Combo's.. maybe something between the AP2 and CB, for some reason I really didn't like this year's VPC's and the soles.

Keep in mind, Nike is #1 in golf apparel, and with each club line gradually picking up steam, and Rory and Tiger, I don't see them going anywhere but up.

[Seeking70s]

I agree with the Flex in a 460 head, same feel and sound. Add a kind of deep face and it will be the cats meow. I need the extra forgiveness of the 460.

Anyone switched from vokeys to engage? If so, what are the pros and cons of both when being compared?
[/quote]

Better look at address to me, the toe sweep is my ultimate bunker club. Just nothing bad to say about them.
[/quote]


I second this, more bite than my sm5's and better performance for me around the greens. I did love the k grind vokey out the sand though. May have performed a touch better than the toe sweep but not much.[/quote]
I'm on the edge of replacing all my vokeys with the nike engage's, anyone else have anything to add? I need info, stats, please add! Help me spend lol
Plus,negatives of different grinds?
[/quote]

Alright here's my two cents on my Engage TS (60). I'm often hesitant to get caught up in product reviews on this site only because you never really know the skill level of the person doing the review. Tai's review put my mind at ease as he's a better player and really liked the TS. I loved it the look of it at set up so I took a shot and picked one up. The grind did take a bit of getting used to for full flops and tight lights, but it was a winner out of the bunkers from day 1. Now that I've had it in play for a couple of months I wouldn't do anything differently. I liked my SM4's before, but nothing about them really stood out to me. The Engage series looks better at address than the Vokeys (to me anyway) and has a better looking leading edge. I still have plenty of life left in my VR Pro 52 and 56, but might look at putting the Egage DS in for next year.

To sum up, the TS is quite versatile but took a little getting used to because it's such a different grind than what I was used to. Although I'm more used to it now, it's still not my favorite wedge to hit full shots with. That's the only thing that I think I would prefer with a 60 DS.

Hope that helps...

Again, I totally agree with you. I have to say, I don't miss with the Flex that often, but when I do I lose way more distance than I would like to. I actually am thinking of switching to the 915 D2 as the spin numbers were not bad with that club for me. I think the Nike clubs are very improved from years past and this should make it very interesting to see where they go from here.

If you can get Flex type numbers in the D2, go for it. The D2 is way more forgiving. The Pro would be great, but for me it spins a lot and ball speeds aren't close to the Flex. It's really bad in the wind too (for me). The Flex is amazing when my swing is, when it's not, I like the extra forgiveness in the Pro or D3/D4 head. Titleist's 716 line looks REALLY good, interested to see what Nike does. Despite all of the "rumors", I see them having a bright future in golf.

[sallyboy7153]

New Nike staff bag is a huge disappointment IMHO. Its literally alllll black. Ugly to me. The LC4's look really nice. They remind me of the Mercurial Soccer cleats how the swoosh is on the toe!

That actually sounds cool. I wish they had a 100% leather offering with all the Nike tech built in with a lower more stable foot platform, that would be sick and I'd love to wear those in place of my FJ Icon's. I love Nike stuff, but I'm more on the traditional/sport end as opposed to the flashy sport side they have out now. I don't want the flashy/sporty stuff to be replaced by my wishes above, I would just like a more traditional/tech offering in addition. Selfish reasons

Are there pics of these online yet? Or have you just seen them?

[Cwing]

Too soon to tell. I believe Nike is buying Taylor Made from Adidas and they are going to dump their club line. Rumor has it that Adidas will then buy Nike Golf to maintain a presents in equipment to help drive apparel.

There's an entire thread devoted to rumors, please leave it there. Can't stand the hear say garbage.

[ucmike11]

^^^ If you read that, I am pretty sure it is ridiculous from a business standpoint haha....


As for Nike 2016, I do hope they move away from the Volt color. I understand that they want to grab attention on the course, but highlighter yellow was not the right color. I still like the red from the Covert line, personally.

The Nike staff bag is exactly the same just all black, looks perfect! Sure nice without the loud branding!

Not a fan of the lc4's, because they look like soccer cleats, the Rory id's on the other hand are sick! I think those might have to get purchased!

[BigGameDb]

Blue with volt? Isn't that Seattle Seahawks colors? lol

[NGstaff]

Volt is gone from what I am told and at least from the catalogs. Rumor is something with blue. Not sure if that is head or graphics.

[Flagrant]

I've seen the apparel catalogs, everything but equipment, I haven't seen any blue or volt.

Footwear? Bags? Tons of blue

[Dubv23]

I can't wait to see the clubs. I plan on overhauling the clubs next year and want to give Nike a shot. I'm hoping for some simple color schemes or easily painted irons because I'm on a red and black kick right now that if I don't stick with it I'll be looking to replace a brand new bag as well

[edryer3]

Will they come out with new clubs next year? Or is it more 2017-2018?since they just released them. I'm volted out now, let me save my money for a few years before I go buy more

They had the mm protos perfect! Color and graphics wise, I'd live the vapors if they just had a softer feeling face!

[mack_n_rolla]

Still dunno WTH are these guys doing with the Lunar Control line. Loved... LOVE the subtle styling of the LC1 and loved the fit of the LC3. I was hoping last year that the LC3 will eventually come with a tumbled leather option.

Regarding the bag. I think I'll just customize one from Vessel for next year.

[zonacats23]

Nike is also pushing a new trend. Remember the mock turtlenecks? Well next year some of the polos have what i would call a "mock collar". Still button ups but the collar doesnt have the fold.
