Nike 2017

[spinnywedge]

I know that Dre just went to the Oven and saw some stuff possibly for next year. This thread's pretty much the same as the 'Nike 2016' for next year. I don't know when some WRXers are gonna see some stuff, so I figured it's never too early to start the thread.

[Obsessed]

in, love Nike Golf!

[BostonWRX]

Need info on the new VPC's

[ZBUCK]

Interested..

[TinkerGolfMan]

Let's go!

[walp207]

I'm listening

[cota0429]

One never sees and tells! Jk Charles Schwartzel was there yesterday testing some of the new stuff. What I saw I can't say. I didn't ask what was in the bag when it passed, but let's just say I hope what I saw was what is to come. Because I'm all in!!!!

[Flagrant]

I was waiting to start a Nike 2017 thread. lol And were off!

To retail no. I don't think there is a huge market for them besides us on here. I didn't ask when I was there if it was or wasn't coming. Last I heard it wasn't though. I asked a few months ago.

That's sucks I have a new set of engages with s400's waiting for a 46, for some reason I won't play them unless all my wedges are the same.

Mental issues, ocd basically

[cota0429]

I would love to see that come out and also a fully adjustable Nike driver. More adjustability than the Flex 440 and a fairway that you an lie flatter.

This is disappointing. I wish Nike would at least allow us to custom order one. Instead it's getting a 50* and bending it.

It was just a matter of time before this thread started. Subbed :)

It's the same head as the 50, so essentially same club with lower bounce. 46, 50, 52 are all same head profiles.

So you're saying taking a 50 and bending it, will have the same grind and bounce? Won't bending it affect the bounce?

[BlackM00Nlight]

buy a 50 and bend it to 46 in the meantime?

[mmhayden13]

Hmmmmm im in. Cant wait for 2017 already lol

[jyamat]

I am praying for new blades in 2017. My VR Pro Blades hands down the best irons I have ever played and they are getting beat up. I went ahead and ordered the new Titleist 716 MB's earlier this year and immediately sold them 2 weeks after I got them....Not. Even. Close.

[cota0429]

No I was saying they are the same head profile shape. You would decrease the bounce. You can always go 47* but then you would of course be taking bounce off

[BoogieThumper]

So we can count on this thread also eventually being moved to Equipment once the clubs are released? :polling:

[tsecor]

the return of sasquatch

[Clocked92]

I would've loved to see Nike cater a bit more to left handed players. I was just in the market for new wedges and was very disappointed with the limited selection of Engage wedges for Lefties. I ended up going with Titleist SM6's instead.

 

That being said, when the time comes to look at new irons to replace my 710 AP2's, I will seriously be considering Nike.

[Flagrant]

buy a 50 and bend it to 46 in the meantime?

Yeah I'm just wondering how it will effect the bounce.

[hilife]

I can't wait for new pro combos to come out and like Dre said a more adjustable Flex 440. Woo hoo to Nike 2017.

[texasdave]

Definitely want to see the new VPC's.

[c. howard]

On a serious note, better pro combos would be awesome. I thought the vpc's were too much of a departure from the vr pro combos.

 

Less serious note, for 2017 I want Nike to decide on sponsoring some average weekend hackers with mid handicaps.. Just saying.. Nike, contact me.

[gregflat9]

Bout time for some new blades

 

Hope they get rid of the whole VR thing and go back to the original blade, with just the swoosh.

 

 

[mctrees02]

Delofting a 50* wedge to 46* will take it to roughly 7* of bounce (a PW typically has 9-10* of bounce).

 

Additionally, delofting a wedge that much will add a fair amount of offset. I don't mind adding 1-2 degrees of loft to my wedges but rarely, if ever, will deloft a wedge by more than 1* because of the unwanted offset.
