Nike is definitely showing WRX'ers some love. I would like a headcover too but I've already benefited enough this year!

Can't wait to see this new putter line!!! Cmon Nike and dazzle us!!!

Flex was a beast but I've switched out recently. Would like to see them abandon their approach to fairways and hybrids where the players heads get the flex loft
[/quote]

Couple things I'd like to see from Nike going forward:

1. Individual wedges in 46* or 48* lofts. Lots of Tour players do this and I'd like the option as well.

2. Would love to see a Tour putter line. Similar to what they did with the Rors 006, but more widespread. Don't care if they keep doing a limited release, just want to see them available.

3. Totally agree on the flex loft heads for the Tour models. Not sure why they do this. Would much rather get a glued hosel.

I have high hopes that something will kick the vr pro ltd fwy out in 2016.

I think the matter line is great, perfect price point. Keep that, ditch the converge and put more effort into the milled line. Get Tiger a new putter(and body) to create some buzz, call it good.

In addition, sign Finau or koepka to help sell drivers and Lexi, Blair, and Paula to help me sleep at night.

Premium tour putter line is what I have been screaming for! 001,003 and 006 to start. Oven options would be great! I'm willing to pay!

Side note: Cheyenne and Michelle are more than enough for me

FWIW, Nike's corporate color is orange and has been for a long time, look at the shoe boxes. Just saw it discussed a page or 2 ago.

Not sure what that has to do with golf or anything

I always get questioned on the course if I work for Nike because of my bag and the outfit. I tell them I'm self sponsored lol. Com'on Nike, sponsor me some stuff so I can tell these Titleist, Callaway, Taylormade guys why I love Nike

I had a kid look at all my Nike gear one day when I was practicing. I heard him say "that dude is sponsored by Nike. How awesome is that." Thankfully I was putting and he didn't have to see me swing.

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.
[/quote]

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.
[/quote]

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.
[/quote]

I too think they will have a bright future for sure. I also like the new Titleist stuff, might have to hit the AP2. I don't know that I can get Flex numbers with D2 (quite) but I can get it out there, but it is most of the time more consistently out there when I miss as opposed to the Flex. I just love the Flex sound so much that I'm having a tough time going away from it. I didn't much care for the Pro because I didn't feel in my testing that it was any better than the Tour 2.0 aside from sound and feel. Performance was near identical.
[/quote]

What is your flex set at? I should probably assume that this late in the season you probably have tried everything so I'm sorry if you did.

I'm testing a Tour Edge right now against the Flex. Any word on iron lineups? Any forged wedges?!

I forgot to add... What about them putters?!
[/quote]

Flex is set to 10.5 low, seems to be the best flight when I catch it. Still not getting great distances from lower on the face. I still really like the club, just might not be the best for me if I'm looking for the best way to be in the fairway most of the time in these tournament rounds.

Nike sent me this today... I wonder what other cool things they'll be releasing to their loyal swoosh fans! I was shocked when I got a random package from Beaverton, Oregon.

God I would love to get one of these. I never get stuff like that lol.[/quote]

I wish I was a nike staffer. Just a big fan.

The some the new shows have pictures on Instagram. Just search nikegolf

[PapaMike25]

Is there any educated word or speculation on additions to the putter line for '16? I know Nike went all in with the RZN inserts this past season, but I for one would LOVE to see a new milled method. I truly enjoyed my Midnight 006, but a 342g's at 32" was just not cutting it.

Sorry if this is already known information but I saw some discussion a few pages back about the laying off of employees.

The reps were laid off because they had 3 reps servicing most accounts. Not sure if they were hardwoods, apparel or shoes that got laid off, but for the vast majority of the accounts they had 1 rep for each division. Smart business decision, IMO, to consolidate reps.

[Mattpgolf15]

Sorry about being off topic, but I accidentally clicked the the thing on the left when going into this forum and now it made everything look like I've read all the posts. Has anyone else done this and if so how do I fix it? Thanks

yes but we don't get anything like that. I wish. We get an allotment to buy normal products at the beginning of the year. Clubs, clothes, bags, etc. Not complaining. But I would love for them to even do just a staff putter cover or something. I have never seen one. Again not complaining at all. Wouldn't be on staff with any other company. But if you saw the post your nike collection...well I have a nike golf man cave and golf cart...nuff said lol

[/quote] Considering that I just spent $500 on the candy apple red paint job last summer...no. Did I want to? My God Yes. I personally love the Volt color. Am I glad that I didn't with the rumor of Volt going away...yes. If I would have had the red paint job for 2 year or more...I probably would have. But when the new stuff came out...it wasn't even painted for 7 months at the time. We shall see.

[NGstaff]

I would have to agree. A new line of Method milled face putters. I have a Matter putter that I bought this year. But honestly...I still like my 001. I would like the 006 like Rory has in lefty. Exactly like my old Scotty that I loved back when. I would probably agree with the Vr ltd style. Honestly...Covert 2.0 fairways were good. I love the headsize. More similar to the Flex fairways this year.

+1. The staff deal is still incredible, but I wish you didnt have to use your entire allotment all at the beginning of the season. I like the new FI Impacts more than all the shoes I saw in the spring, but they were released too late.

Also wish they still did these!!
