UPDATED VIDEO & PICS: Nike Covert Drivers, Woods & Irons

[StarFleetGolfer]

When do these hit the demo carts?

[TheDarkOne]

The driver is great, the irons are some of the worst looking I have seen since the Cleveland VAS or whatever they were. Wow those are bad.
Look forward ot trying the driver. Hopefully they have a special edition for Rors.

Carl Pettersen has the new Covert in the bag at the Shark Shoot out. Cink still has his in the bag and told me loves it.

I'm just not crazy about the "half of the club is missing" look.... Colors look pretty nice though.

[cuddytime]

it might be because i'm a traditionalist... but i'll have to pass for now

[csiachos]

Most people playing the Performance version still. Shocking to me.

You don't see the technology from the address position.

Lol, that's funny. +1

[stage1350]

Anyone know what the lie angles are on the driver?

EDIT: Greg Moore captured this for us today on the range at the Franklin Templeton Shootout so you guys can hear what the Nike VR_S driver sounds like. - HipCheck

Sweet I don't even have to add things to posts anymore! Thanks!

[TheMoneyShot]

There is some velocity in CP'a swing. Very cool shots!

[pga43]

The sound is exactly what you hear when CP is swinging at normal speed in the videos above

The slow-mo distorts the sound and makes it sound tinny (sp?)

[ladahl]

Any feedback from players about the potential for any water/grass sitting in the channel/hole after use or washing (being stored upside down in bag)?

unless you are taking massive divots with your driver, i doubt this is a issue.

Given the 61° degree lie angle on the other big driver next year, the right lie angle might tip the scales in favor of a swoosh.

If they are ridiculously upright too, forget it.

[leftypga]

It sounds very much like my VR_S. Now I want it even more.

of course.. all wood everything
HIP HIP CHEERIO

[ksavy17]

I want these to be out now!!!!!

[ksavy17]

any word on being able to pull tips??

[bearnow22]

These are the best ones Nike has made. When I did my testing for durability I had to hit 300 balls off the deck....still no stuff in the cavity. But you shouldn't take divots with your driver. Never a good idea :-).

awesome. What did you think of the driver? Did you test the woods or hybrids?

[huntdog99]

Before seeing this driver I thought it was going to be the laughing stock...now...I think it looks badass.

[huntdog99]

I think its going to be interesting to see if Tiger puts it in play. Orange and white shaft with a red head...uggh.

[Merle33]

Definitely can't wait to hit this driver. Looks aren't any issue to me, in fact I think it looks awesome, and the technology behind it all is very interesting. The sound from the video of CP sounds great too!

[pga43]

The "Red" driver has other players taking notice. Rickie & Bud were checking out Carl Pettersson & Stewart's Covert drivers at the Shark Shoot out today.

^^Very cool. This could be the start of Nike's ascension towards elite status..

I'd bet Tiger gets a custom paint job on his GD DI 6 when he switches over to the Covert
