[liltweegie808]

Supposedly, in fall Nike is going to come out with a new line of putters. i believe it was said to be made by kevin burns. i havent heard anything officially yet but i do know that john cook used a proto at the US open. if anybody has info please reply.

What putter was KJ Choi using in he Booz? Was that one of the new ones?

[pitbull808]

From what I've heard from a very reliable source:

 

Yes they are coming out with a fall line. No they won't be made by Kevin Burns. There will be some very surprising styles coming out. More traditional and definitely will get the attention of the golfing putter "ho" world. :yahoo:

Paul Casey just won the Johnny Walker at Gleneagles with what looks like a

Nike 'Coronado' alike.......

[tylerbrowder8-4]

will they look like justins beach putter?

[nearfall152]

Also for the record, I have putted a few with a Kevin burns proto some 3 years ago (or so) it was very nice and I always wondered why they never went with him.

 

Instead they've been pushing this 'oz' and 'bluechip' nonsense for years...its about time...

[liltweegie808]

i would love for them to come out with a beach style putter. especially in lefthand. i would be picking one up right away.

My nike rep just told me that they are coming this fall. Called Nike Unitized Putter, meaning one piece. Don’t know much else. John Cook is using one. Tiger is practicing with one. Should be a nice addition.

Corky is exactly right about the Coronado style. I started a thread about it as well but am not familiar with Cameron styles/names.

 

Paul Casey's is simple and hawt. I want it!

From what I know of Kevin Burns as a company, he likes his small shop, and likes to be the one in charge, so although the product might be nice, he likes to have a lot of say in his products, and a deal might not have been reached between the two companies.

Nike Golf’s Paul Casey Wins on European Tour with Nike’s New Prototype Unitized Putter

 

-Nike Golf’s Unitized Putter Scheduled to Launch at Retail on November 1-

 

BEAVERTON, Ore. (June 26, 2006) – Nike Golf’s Tour Staff member Paul Casey claimed his sixth career PGA European Tour victory by winning the Johnnie Walker Championship at Gleneagles in Scotland. Casey’s win adds yet another victory to Nike Golf’s compilation of 12 global wins in 2006, a number made up of seven on the PGA Tour, four internationally and one on the Nationwide Tour. Casey’s victory also consolidated his second position on the 2006 PGA European Tour Order of Merit and propelled him to fifth place in the European Ryder Cup standings.

 

As with Casey’s fellow Nike Golf Tour staff champions so far in 2006, he used the winning combination of the Nike SasQuatch Driver and the Nike One ball bringing the total global victories of this driver/ball combination to 10. However, a new secret weapon has been added to Casey’s bag that brought him the extra magic that he needed en route to his victory – Nike Golf’s new prototype putter, the Unitized.

 

Casey is one of a handful of Nike Golf athletes testing the Nike Unitized putter, which is in its final stages of development and is not available at retail until November 1. Casey’s triumph with this revolutionary new putter further validates the resounding message that Nike Golf develops innovative technology that produces winning performances in every single product category.

 

Named for the definition “to make into a single unit,” the Nike Unitized putter is precisely that – the shaft and head are welded together as one piece. This process greatly enhances feel, a distinction that will separate the Unitized from other putters in the marketplace. Nike Golf’s seamless Unitized construction creates an express line straight from the putter face to the hands. There are no stops along the way to interrupt frequencies, thus creating an amazing feel and touch in the hands.

 

With the addition of the prototype Unitized putter to Casey’s winning arsenal, all 14 clubs in his bag are Nike Golf products. This technologically advanced putter is also being tested on the PGA Tour by Nike Golf’s Tour Staff member John Cook, who is on track to enjoy one of the most successful seasons of his career.

 

Completing Casey’s winning arsenal are his Nike Forged Blades, the 15-degree SasQuatch Fairway Wood, the 18-degree Slingshot Hybrid and his 52 and 59-degree Nike Wedges. Casey also wears Nike Golf apparel, the Nike SP 6 footwear and the Dri-Fit Tour Glove.

 

Stay tuned as more information on the Unitized putter will be forthcoming at the time of Nike’s launch this fall.

Intresting. Can't wait to see a photo. Nike has done well in most of their products but so far the putters have been crap in my opinion. Hope they take a big step forward with this one.

[pitchmaster1224]

wonder what Wie is testing and if she will be rolling a new proto this week at da OPEN...

[mji009]

I actually like Nike's line of mallet putters. I tested them and I found them to be pretty good for me. Nice roll and consistent feel, for the most part. I can't wait to try out this new putter in the fall as I like the look of Answer style putters. Ironically, I play a mallet-style Odyssey SRT 2-Ball at the moment, which I highly recommend.

[liltweegie808]

Leftygolfin.....i hear yah. never was a supporter of their futuristic looking putters. im more of a traditionalist. i tried mallets and those funky looking putters but just love my ping scottsdale anser. i would also have to agree with the way their other clubs are just great. at first i doubted nike and thought they should just stick to clothing and shoes, boy was i wrong.
