Guys.....we've all seen things that are "different"....white caught us off guard but widely accepted now....Cobra and Callaway both using wide array of colors. NIKE used current technology and improved it with radical cavity design.February will be here soon enough for all of us to swing it and give our thoughts. Until then, shall we not pass judgment and enjoy pics?

I've seen a stripper with a third nipple.

That was different.

Not bad. They look pretty good.

I was waiting for you to chime in...

It's getting more expensive by the minute for 2013.......

[kobes31]

The black faced clubs just look mean!

The adjustable loft of FW and hybrid is ingenious!!!

[sbjinx]

good looking clubs. i really like the cavity back design on the driver and ability to adjust your lofts. lots of good drivers so far for 2013 and i'm sure TM, Ping, Callaway will all have some good stuff in store for us as well.

[AUDuffer]

I'm digging those bad boys; the tour version of the driver looks great. Might be the my first Nuke interest since the Sumo2 Tour!

[ksavy17]

these look out of this world!! Cant wait to try these bad boys

[Big Ben]

Very interesting, once early observation is that deep sole cavity will be torture to keep clean...BB

[GC70]

I'll take one of each in the tour!!

[Georgie Z]

looks great except for that all that crap on the crown.. why couldn't it be clean like the vr pro LE..

[geesecougar2]

I've always thought that red could be a great color for the crown of a driver, but that none have done it justice yet. Hopefully this will be it.

However, not a fan of the alignment aid. A simple swoosh, or nothing at all, would be better.

And no matter how good it is, I'd probably wait for a 460cc Tour version.

[xHellsing]

Everytime they say "Covert" I kinda hear it as "Cobra" xD.
Noone has yet asked for cc's for these drivers but I think there is no answer this time

The driver looks ok from the top, dont know why they left the white lines on the tour's face, the hosels are huge-looking on the FW and HY. I'm not particulary fond of the silver face (red crown-black hosel-silver face-white swoosh) on the non-tour but I guess they wanted something to separate the two models visualy, the tour model looks pretty deep.

[Darth_Blader]

I am thinking the swoosh would be very distracting..I mean really...we know we have a NIKE driver in our hands...we need a reminder? That aside it looks like an interesting driver.

[Boogs2]

The red/black colorway looks a lot better than the red/silver (I'm guessing the silver version is the non-tour). I wonder what price point is gonna be.


*edit...nevermind, saw the price points. Can't wait to see what type of shaft options come with this!

[KYMAR]

Tour hybrid with 5 lofts built in is RIDICULOUS on it's own. But to do it with a relatively clean looking hosel, and retain the independent FA is almost unbelievable. I haven't hit them, i have no idea if they are actually any good when they hit a ball. But that Hybrid absolutely has my attention. Gotta say, Kudos.

[left]"The 460cc Nike VR_S Covert Driver will retail for $299 and come stock with a 50g Mitsubishi Kuro Kage 50g shaft.

The Covert Tour Driver is 430cc, pear-shaped, and comes standard with a 60g Mitsubishi Kuro Kage shaft. Retail will be $399.

Both will be available in February 2013."[/left]

[left]Am I missing something here or is the retailer going to be able to justify the difference in price between the standard and tour model? 10 grams in the shaft and Black 430cc makes the club $100 more?[/left]

[tbowles411]

Too many equipment choices...

I wish GolfWRX had live chat rooms where we could talk about this stuff in real time. Would be legit!

Yea the swoosh is no good in my opinion, though I am never looking anywhere other than at the ball when the club is at address, so not sure if it would bug me or not. I'd honestly like to paint the sucker flat black and let 'er rip. Looks like it could be a beast off the tee.

Don't know much about Kuro Kage....any good? Will these be junky made for, or legitimate shafts that happen to have a nike tip on them? I'm assuming cheap made for, but maybe I'm wrong. Also, any idea on price for the tour version? Driver and 3W preferably. I have never liked nike hybrids.
[/quote]

not sure if it was official but it was said the shafts are legitimate and not made fors. Also pretty sure the tour version driver is $399. Can't remember what the woods are, $279 maybe?

[rehcuagflog]

Each year, we think that it's O.K. with our bag... and each year it's a renewal of oooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhh! wooooooooow, and for sure the genius of golf industry it's for now better then ever. Nike deceive me a lot since many years, only for some irons, but objectively, this kind of product at first glance have a lot of credit. Now how well these new product will perform is the question!

[schuyler]

Very surprised, I thought I was gonna see another Nike product that failed to bring much new innovation such as the last 3 years.
Anybody know what the price of the covert 3 woods is gonna be?

[ram01002]

They look cheap

Yes there are. This spring is going to be super busy and super expensive. Very oem is bringing the heat in 2013!!!

[FairwayGolfUSA.com]

Looks great, Cant wait to demo all of these clubs. I wonder how big of an affect the cavity will have on the performance?

[Sidetracked]

Definitely will be giving the tour driver a try, it looks amazing. I think I might stick with my LE 3 wood though. I can't wait to see what wedges and irons they come out with next year!

Buy them all. That's what I do every year.

[PZero]

I wish the standard version looked as good as the tour version. I like 460cc drivers and won't play anything less.
