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

[spires1020]

I'm quite impressed with almost everything, particularly the weight port. The red paint and white swoosh leave something to be desired however, when is someone going to release some OTR matte black painted woods??

[Vindog]

I don't know, man...

I kind of like it!

[tigerfan23]

Wowzers - SOLD!!!!!

Those look smoking

[Doc Mcstuffins]

February release? Who wants to bet they launch these on Valentine's Day and call it "Driver Love".....oh wait.

All i see from adress is that swoosh...

U think tiger would game these? He'll probably have them painted black.
[/quote]

YES, that swoosh on top is ug-o! Otherwise nice looking club and the loft adjustments, wow.

[PZero]

I wonder what the perception would have been if the Covert came out last season?

[TheMoneyShot]

Hip, you need to setup a Nike question and answer forum like you guys did for TM a few weeks ago.

[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]
[/quote]


I don't think it will be that difficult really. Other companies have been doing it for a while, seperating their tour model vs standard model by shaft only (TaylorMade) or pricing them both at the higher price point (Titleist). It is not just the club head size and shape that is different though; the tour is going to launch lower and spin less. Not saying it will sell better or fit more players, but there is plenty of justification there.

And notice the weight on the tour and no weight on the 'standard'. Two completely different heads, so it seems to justify the added expense.

[AllenLew]

was about to buy a bridgestone j40 445, now I'm going to wait.

[DrJinh007]

Hmmm, it will be a very interesting in 2013 for me. 913, Cobra cell or Nike Covert... Can't wait until February to try all three of them before buying a new driver.

[tbowles411]

OK, I've had looks at it. I kind of like it. The cavity is a novel idea. Kinda "Hammer-ish", but it has a chance of actually working. Put an Attas 3 in it, and we'll be in business...

[displayname]

These are very interesting. Really curious to see what they feel like. I love seeing two companies already out with the ability to change loft and face angle. And adding this all the way to the hybrid is amazing. I hope this catches on industry wide. It will give people the ability to grow with clubs, focus on the best shafts, and gaping, and even get a real fit on used clubs.

This is new and exciting now, but industry changing down the line! Thanks to Cobra for being bold enough to bring it to market, and to Nike for making it an official trend.

Like Ping...?

[Ajlepisto]

I wouldn't be at all ashamed to have a bag full of Nike equipment. Maybe it's an age thing but it doesn't bother me a bit having some logos on it. I would hardly say the swoosh is over the top. It's subtle and doesn't scream look at me like some of the other design things I've seen before.

I think Nike is classy in a youthful way. Maybe I'm the only one.

[masyankees]

Definitely did not expect to see a driver that looked like this. I don't know what to think.

[chickenpotpie]

Still trying to figure out how they decoupled loft from face angle. Looking at what I've seen so far, I don't get it.

[scratchswinger]

The Tour driver is one of the best looking heads ever!

The big hostel on the 3w looks funny to me. Need to see it in person.

47 and I've been a swoosh guy for 30yrs.now that the golf division is making serious waves, I'll be back to full head to bag NIKE!!!

Looks like I am getting a new 5 wood and possibly a hybrid when they come out

[edryer3]

What is the difference between the red shaft vs the white shaft?? Performance vs tour clubs?? And what is the weights?

[lettucebcereal]

Definitely not digging the looks. I still prefer my Vr Pro Ltd woods/driver.

[simple36]

3 wood might be taking a spot in the bag as well as driver. Have wait and see the numbers difference if they can kick out the Titleist or not. Really interested to see if they have more stock shaft offerings or if they will have a huge up charge for upgraded shafts or not and which we will be able to get.

How long will the shafts be in the FW's and HYB's? If you set up to play the loft of a 5w wouldnt you want the shaft shorter?
[/quote]

Great quetion....
[/quote]

There are two separate fairway woods. One is a 3 wood and the other is a 5 wood, so you could have a weaker lofted 3 wood at three wood length & a weaker lofted 5 wood at five wood length.

Just in case you didn't remember what brand driver you were using with the giant swoosh on the top of the club.... they were kind enough to add one more on the bottom of the club.

I kind of like that.. on the one with the black face. I would prolly buy one.

The hybrid looks pretty bad though.
