First time seeing that Rombax P75 in the driver. Anyone have any info on it? Perhaps similar profile to the P95 in a lighter weight?

Great pics, thanks! I love NW's putter.

[GC70]

Great pic's!
That putter is awesome! David was putting his together at the Oven back in May.
I'd love to have that forged wide sole wedge. I wish we could get those.

His putter is [b][i]nice[/i][/b]

Need to change my pants after seeing that putter. Why, oh why can't they do a limited release?

[Dizz]

P75.... nice.

I'm 95% sure I read somewhere that they made the shaft just for Watney because he liked the 95 so much and wanted one for his driver. Def not available to the public but I think he may be the only one who has one.

That putter is so nice!! Is it me or are the bumpers more rounded (i.e. not quite as ground down) as Rory's. Pure745 can weigh in I'm sure

[pr1mo990]

Also digging his sand and lob wedges. Nike's version of the Vokey K-Grind. The trail edge is ground down much more than the retail versions and they look so much better that way.

Must be Miura forged and hand painted by ninjas!

THAT PUTTER AND THOSE PAINTED GROOVES, I WANT!!

Interesting with the glued fairways too. Only ever seen tiger with a glue-on on his covert 2.0 driver

It is because he is using the performance fairway woods. I am sure most if not all Nike staffers use the performance fairways.

The Performance driver is not glued, still has flex-loft.

Tiger is using a prototype covert, glued and his specs.

LOL...Fo sho

[speeder717]

I would love a set of satin vr pros, they look so solid!

[DTown3011]

Really cool bag. Nike went all out for him on custom one-off items.

[TripleGrindSole]

Not that anyone will ever know about the grooves being painted on. But it seems to me that Nike is starting to realize that not everyone is going to benefit from a groovy putter.

I have said it before and I will say it again, Nike really needs to release a high end ($250-350), "Method Milled" line and be done with it. I'm not saying abandon the groove technology completely. Just leave it for the Method Core line.

[speeder717]

I would love to see a Nike "WRX-like" department or maybe just expand the oven to retail, satin irons, different wedge grinds! Would be the only such company to offer this service on forgings, it can get to be a pain to work through the cameron studio, wedgeworks etc to get a full out custom set! Put it all under one roof and call it a day!
