The more I look at the tour 3 wood the more the ferrule turns me off, looks stubby. I wish the tour 3W was glued.
[/quote]me too, but I'll probably get the performance bc of this

Hilo from bonnie Scotland,

I think this [url="http://www.freepatentsonline.com/8182357.pdf"]http://www.freepaten...com/8182357.pdf[/url] may be the system Niike are using.

or maybe it is another.

whatever it is it seems nice eh

it is hard to see in the picture if this is it, or in the video advert but perhaps this is it?

Why Nike has to copy the strategy of TMAG with all the players being excited and surprised about how cool it is and all the "revolutionary" messages? Looks like iPhone vs Zune to me

Getting ready for that Nike VR_S Covert Tour Fairway 5 Wood!!

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................

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.

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?
[/quote]

Missed the point entirely. I had stated NOTHING about performance in relation to other drivers. I'm just reading post after post that the logo or colour is not to their liking or distracting. Seems like people are finding fault in the product before experiencing it. Unless Nike is paying you to play their equipment or you are in any test market relating to the design of this product, I doubt Nike could care less about what some people think either way. The question is wether or not the marketing is effective enough (positive or negative) to ultimately increase sales.

[freddyottawa]

The marketing seems to have worked so far given the interest we have seen so far. I don't remember this many positive comments on Nike gear in the past. I look forward to seeing how this new gear performs for me.

Paul Casey tweeted that he has his covert set to 10.5 and neutral.

Oh, and it is the PERFORMANCE model!

[homergolf]

Nice looking clubs. Looks like a pretty deep face on the driver and fw's.

[GC70]

What's the CC on the FW and HYB?
Is the tour smaller?

[pga43]

Stewart Cink has the Covert in play (Performance model)at Disney & Kevin Kisner with the Tour model

[kcarter]

When will club fitters have theese clubs to demo?

[TheMoneyShot]

Great pics Greg. Were all of the other Nike staffers still playing their previous driver?

[dan250yds]

This garbage looks hideous. Now we have red finished heads? Cmon where is golf equipment going towards...

Sounds like some like it. Maybe red will become the new white? I didn't care for the white when it first came out, and thought it would bomb, boy, was I wrong. Taking a big chance IMHO, but we'll see...

[Pure745]

@Greg- any feedback on how the driver sounded?

[GC70]

Looks like cink has the new shoes on.

[dangolf]

I'm glad I'm an open minded person and embrace change. Can't wait to try these sexy beasts.

[QuigleyDU]

I think the clubs themselves look great, and the last nike driver I had I really liked, it performed very well. not sure on the color though. I think the tour head would look awesome murdered out.

Also has nike again gone with a garbage shaft??

No! it is a real deal Kuro Kage. Not sure if there is even a nike logo on the shaft. Looks like the shaft is right off the shelf

@greg

Clubs cannot be adjusted mid round. The club must be set and kept that way prior to beginning play.

+1 can't wait to try.

Much less bothered by dark red driver than loudmouth clothing or orange puma clothes.

Pic of the driver at address from the Nike Facebook page. IMO, does not look to busy and the swoosh is not much of an eyesore.

 

[sedowney]

I do not mind the red color (or any color for that matter) if only the big swoosh was not there. I would think that it may be distracting to me at least......the rest of it looks neat though. I will pass on the irons.

Looks pretty sharp.

 

I lean towards no swoosh being a better design than with it but I don't think it should be a deal breaker. I mean, line the driver up as you always would and take it back. If you get that distracted from it maybe see a doctor?

[Buffdaddy]

Did I see somewhere the new line wouldn't be released until February? If so, February can't get here fast enough.

[bearnow22]

The shafts are real....previous page has all the specs.
