Stop living in the past guys you haven't been relevant in years. Your part of the joke JV conference that is the acc and your more known for scandals and thugs than good football. Now can we get back to the ugly clubs.

Sorry to strike a nerve but just stating facts.....only one team wins a national championship each year......so the bragging rights in my mind isn't beating a rival, it is titles baby!

Obtw the COVERT is far from ugly!! Peace

a Cane braggin about championships is worse. Miami is in shambles, 20K fans, looming sanctions and postseason bans. They keep firing a coach and hiring a worse one, Coker to Shannon, Shannon to Golden, and prolly Golden to Joker Phillips. Canes talking about the championships they won is like a ND fan still clinging to the days of the Gipper.

And the Tour driver would look sweet with a Fuji TS in it, White shaft with a lil bit of red.

Two time Nole talkin smack......ok, first don't compare 100yrs ago to last 15-20yrs ...a small, private school without an on campus stadium or an alumni base in the 100's of thousands can't compare to the great state former girls school.....we are down yes but stop sounding like a jealous wannabe....

Back to your regularly schedule programming.

Also, is there a pic of the Covert Tour 3 wood at address?

Frankly, I don't see much of anything on the Nike web site about this driver?
One would think it would be very well displayed at Nike.com with all the information about specs, shafts, etc. a person could want including lots of photos.

The reason the VRS and Limited are played are b/c they perform [b]AND[/b] look decent. Think about this and the trend thats happening with equipment/apparel.

Imagine a player that wears loudmouth golf apparell, nike/cobra clubs, and puma shoes. What do you get?.... Bozo with a golf club. [attachment=1411419:clown.jpg]

I'll bet the driver creates a lot of drag on your backswing on windy days. Looks good otherwise. Not too crazy about the red or swoosh.
[/quote]

Most players aren't trying to create clubhead speed on their backswing so the "drag" that you refer to will be a non issue.

I tend to believe that this was a bit tongue in cheek...
[/quote]

Not really, it bugs the hell out of me if I can feel and hear the wind messing with my driver in my backswing. What Greg said might be true for guys swinging under 90mph. But you have to take it back with a lot of momentum if you're trying to get an X shaft to load at the top of your swing. So I beg to differ. The back of my R11 isn't that aerodynamically smooth in the back and I can hear it making noise taking it back on windy days.

I'm not calling anybody a liar but I take the club back faster than anyone I know and my back swing speed doesn't reach 40 MPH. If you can get anywhere close to 90 MPH on your back swing I would love to see a video. Talk about getting quick.

I find it more productive to load the shaft on the downswing, rather than the backswing. But, to each his own.

Hmmm, red looks slightly brighter out in the sun. Won't be able to have a real opinion about it until I see it in person though.

It's amusing reading all the posts about how that swoosh will be a distraction, the red crown is a bother. It's only a distraction if you let it be. Weak. Or should I say "weak minded"? It's just like draining free throws @ the line. You have all those fans (or haters) screamin', yelling and heckling, but you go 2 for 2 and get on with it. Ahhh, the power of the logo................
[/quote]

doubt you would be saying that if it wasn't nike.. and what does shooting free throws have to do with something you purchase with an ugly logo on it?
[/quote]
Actually, it wouldn't matter what logo would be on there (I'm playing a Ping driver BTW ). I don't let whatever is on the crown affect the way I should hit the ball nor do I care what marketing exec decided to put the swoosh in that location. That's just an excuse IMO. I'm not going to blame some marketing for me not hitting the ball correctly or not purchasing a certain club if the performance dictates.

And for your free throw question, no worries.
[/quote]

Who is blaming the ugly logo for hitting it poorly? It's not like this club is going to shave off 5 strokes compared to other drivers. You make it seem like this driver performs better than anything else out there... have you even hit it yet?

[H.A. Kerr]

I used to think nothing could be more annoying that folks who's personal self worth rests so heavily on the name brand they play that they resort to personal attacks on users of other brands.

Then came the college football talk.

Yeah, when your self esteem and happiness seems to be attatched to a brand, something might be wrong. When your identity is attatched to a bunch of kids playing football, something is definitely wrong.

Like other people in this thread I'm interested to see how the FW's and hybrids work from the turf when you start adding loft. I can see thin shots as a definite possibility.

[ufgatrs82]

Not about the brand it's about the trend of all the ridiculous colors. No one cares what you play but if you look like a clown u look like a clown. Would having the head black takeaway from the performance of the club, no and neither does having it red but it sure takes away from some who would purchase it otherwise. I'd bet money they make a black headed version it out sells this one 3 to 1.

I know, seriously. If that's the case, you must really hate hitting your irons because those are by far the least aerodynamic clubs ever made. If you have a strong wind behind you, it must be absolute murder on your psyche when taking it back with your 5-iron.

[jwood2413]

Just thinking off the top of my head here... Maybe being the marketing geniuses they are, Nike purposely put out a driver that would be polarizing (colorwise not performancewise) so that when it comes time for another product launch they can release it in black (or multiple colors) so that the consumer will then want to buy that. Kind of like getting playing lessons from a teaching pro... They aren't gonna give you everything the first time otherwise why would you come back?
