Nike 2017

[shakey]

I was told by a nike rep in arizona they just had a meeting and the new catalog should be coming out pretty soon… hope he is right

I think this meeting was just for 2017 apparel and accessories though.

I'm still loving my vr blades. wish nike would release a sneak preview of the irons they will be releasing next year, so i could make up my mind already to go ahead and get the fly pro irons or got wit the combos. if i got with the fly pros i'll deff be getting the japan version of them since there not black. but the black does look good, stilll haven't seen some fly pros that has been used to see what the soles looks like after some rounds.

 

"if anyone on here has the FlyPro Irons please post some pics of what they look like now since you put em threw some rounds, would love to see how much the black finishing

is holding up"

I believe the finishing is holding up nicely. I'll grab a couple of pictures this afternoon of mine and add them to this post.

 

Probably have about 12 rounds on the VFP irons. I try to hit 30 to 40 balls three or four times a week; PW gets about 15 shots spread between 60 and 125 yards. Range balls I hit are in pretty good shape and I do try and keep the face wiped off (damp towel) every couple of shots. The PW does show the most wear. When I practice, if I used only the ball I play with and wipe the face after every shot, the wear would be minimized.

 

The leading edge is somewhat polished considering the turf where I hit balls is very sandy.

Nice ball striking!

thanks for posting.

 

heard something bout vapor fly blades from ndc today while ordering my rzn dot balls, while talking to the guy i could hear guys in the background saying something about them.

They are great! I've only played in dry conditions but I've walked every time I've played. Maybe 3-4 rounds in. Traction was not a problem, to me.

 

So light and comfortable. I didn't want to take them off after the round, lol.

 

Drive home with them on.

sorry i asked about em, this thread is already jacked up with questions that has nothing to do with the 2017 line so i figured it didn't matter to ask about em

The sole looks really thick on these. Is it thick or is is just the look from the outside of the shoe?

The midsole area is not too thick, gives that appearance since midsole and upper are both the same color and blends in. It may look thick but doesn't make you feel elevated when you're wearing them.

Ok, thanks for the info Lesmond.

Nike doesn't seem to have any real direction....forged blades? CB? combo sets? colors?

 

i would love to see Nike get their stuff together a little better but they are still a ways out from being a top 4 OEM behind Taylor made, Callaway, Ping and Titleist.

 

The equipment is solid. They just don't market it correctly.

The hero worship model doesn't work that much in golf unless it's apparel.

 

Just because they don't do the "10 yards longer" stuff doesn't mean the gear isn't good.

I'm not so sure the equipment is solid....the sasquatch lineup was horrible, but the blades were solid....then they took a step back and the fly irons are not good IMO.....I will say I hit the fly pro driver and killed it....even though tests show this driver is shorter than other drivers, I hit it 280. I typically hit my 910 D3 around 255.....its always a mixed bag with Nike....

 

the new black and silver TW vapor driver looks nice in pictures

not sure your argument is valid considering you're referencing clubs (sasquatch line and (910 driver) from more than 5 years ago. Nike has come A LONGGGG WAY in the last 5 years and their golf stuff is much better now than it was in 2010. Plus, just about any driver from 2016 will go farther than a driver from 2010 roughly. (910 driver). however, I will agree that sometimes nike is hit or miss with their game improvement irons. I think the last several years, their low handicap player irons have been quite good, though.

hope to see the nike line go back to more neutral colours down the line, great products though

Me too. Less is more:)

[mmhayden13]

Just thought of something I would like to see.....

 

A staff stand bag.... I love the new staff bags but just not for me. Would love one thats a little smaller with a stand.

[Sjamgolf]

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.

 

You tried Fila clubs????

Hey guys,

 

Been awhile since I've been on since I've been very busy with the golf season but I figured since I saw there was a 2017 thread started I'll tell you what I've been told/heard as a Swoosh Staff Advisory Member what's possibly upcoming for Nike in 2017.

 

There was a sales rep meeting at the end of June at HQ and I was under the impression that they would see the new equipment there but haven't confirmed this with my rep yet. Although as it comes to equipment; there will be new woods, players irons(blades,PC), new wedges(I think they're not completely re-doing the engage wedges but modifying them a bit). It sounds like from what I've heard Nike is starting to go down the route of extending their product cycles like a Titleist or Ping. I know the reps have suggested this, but your already seeing it with the irons and wedges. I believe the tour golf balls and woods are going to be the next step but I do know there will be new woods next year. Should start to see some new equipment being toyed with by the tour pros sometime in August(check the USGA conforming club list, as soon as something new pops up there, expect the tour guys to be using it immediately). As for release date, I wouldn't be surprised to see a limited release sometime around November like they did for the MMprotos, but go to retail will probably be end of January like the last couple years. I usually meet with my rep sometime in October to see the new apparel, bags, gloves, shoes, so probably won't see anything until then unless something is leaked on here.

 

As for apparel, I've been told that next years apparel is going to be ridiculous. Expect to see a lot of new things and new patterns. Hopefully this wasn't too long of post but wanted to put out there what I've been told. I'll try to update if I hear of anything concrete. Everyone have a good rest of the season!
