THE RORS 006 THREAD: per @NikeGolf It's Time. #ReleaseThePutter 4.15.15

[wldchld22]

Congrats Ron,

There is still Friday. I haven't been this excited in my adult life for a product release! I have been watching both threads. So glad I still took the day off. Hoping more and more WRX'ers get their dream stick!

[geauxWRX]

officially cramping in my F5 finger, never got a chance. It really blows, officially giving up

[Pure745]

[color=#ff0000][size=6][b]CONGRATS GUYS!! [/b][/size][/color]

[color=#000000]This has to be one of the best outcomes of any thread I've seen on GolfWRX. Congrats to wldchld22, kylekoz17, mnnikeguy, and anyone else who got one. I think it was a great gesture by Nike to make sure you guys got one, and deservedly so![/color]

[color="#000000"]I personally don't think this putter gets released without this thread, I just don't think that Nike would have ever known there was a demand for it without seeing the activity on WRX. [/color]

[ButterSwing]

I'm done. been here since 9:45 and nothing's changed. In the meantime lots have been popping up on ebay.

Not a good feeling at all. Definitely don't want to think about nikegolf anymore.

Persistence and devotion to a brand sometimes doesn't pay off.

[TheMoneyShot]

I have one coming too. Now I will be able to sleep a lot better tonight!!!

Alright! Glad to hear it Money!

[slingshot1981]

Got mine as well. Does anyone know if the RZN Black balls that come with are the same as what Rory uses, the RZN Dot Black?

I saved these from the farmers insurance thread.

It looks really good and should be the lower priced line of putters.

If the size is right compared to mm006 then a lot of us should be happy.

Close enough for sub $200? Could be awesome

yes thats post to Rory's putter for this year, sad to say it has the same weight and shape as the 006. imo they should of brought back the old 006.
the [color=#555555]Method Matter B2-01 i don't like the [/color][color="#555555"]inserts on the bottom or face. Nike should made more 006 protos or made it where you had to call in to order them so people with bots wouldn't of bought em out before annoys us could get our hands on it.[/color]

[TheMoneyShot]

Has any other unlucky members purchased one off the bay today like myself?

[slingshot1981]

Anyone else notice a difference in the putter from the pictures on nike.com and the pictures they posted on instagram yesterday? The instagram putter shows a deeper mill and a stamped oven logo. the nike website shows a normal mill (at least to my eye) and an etched oven logo.

seems to be the most reasonable thing have read on this forum today. you found a price that you could live with for a product that you wanted and did something about it.

[YoMikeT]

Long time WRX lurker. Made an account the other day. Have to applaud the OP for this thread and helping get this putter released to the public. Proves how powerful the internet is. And congrats on getting one of the 006 gifted!

I love the putter, but it's too pricey for me. Congrats to everyone who got one that wanted one. I'm heavy into Nike and Jordan sneakers so I know the struggle of ordering off Nike.com, lol.

[QMany]

I was locked and loaded on the site. Still, no luck.

I really liked that they included the Volt headcover and commemorative box.

I'm happy for those that got one.

you got lucky... there are none listed for under $1000. I guess your guy has a conscience. I fired off an email to the guy selling it for $3,450.... it read.... "hahahahahahah"

That's actually not too bad considering the other prices. I just hope he doesn't pull a d*ck move and cancel it.

Me too. He has good feedback so we will see.

[wwjbd24]

can't believe you'd pay a reseller that price for the putter... It's not the money it's just the principle of it, but if you want to look at your putter each time and think about how little the brand cares about its loyal customers then that's on you.

If they actually cared they would just put up a raffle for WRX'ers for a few putters, instead of diluting our chances with the rampant bots that ruin most of nike's new releases anyway

[ckay]

That's quite a gem you decided to chime in with there.

It isn't up to anyone to decide on how one should spend their money.

That also goes with the saying that it isn't up to anyone to decide on what they do with the putter they were lucky to buy.

Retailers on 4/17

[bmoores]

Which leads me to believe that a lot more than has been speculated in this thread will be available via the other retail outlets on Friday.

[r34civic]

All the retailers I have called today say they are already sold out!!!

Maybe it wasn't uniform distribution? Some retailers might have gotten 10 and others 100?

All over the world - I imagine Nike UK will get 215 and the Nike sites in Asia are also getting some. Throw in some to Canada and then to other US retailers and you're well on your way to accouting for them all.
