You can read all about the Victory Red drivers in our February Issue, with more details to follow on the SQ Machspeed in March. The new Nike SQ MACHSPEED driver has a lower, deeper centre of gravity for a higher launch and increased distance, and features the Nike's STR8-FIT technology, square technology Nike's Total Swing Aerodynamic Design. The Victory Red driver also has a longer hosel than that of the VR STR8-FIT Tour and has one glued head position without adjustability. Differentiating from the VR STR8-FIT Tour, the Victory Red driver has a smaller, more traditional head design for more workability. With all that changes in the game of golf, we are all used to.

In the VR STR8-FIT Tour, the combination of Nike's Compression Channel and the Face Angle Technology deliver longer distance and more shot-shaping control. I just got the VR S Covert Tour 3 Hybrid in for testing, and immediately upon pulling it out of the box, I felt like Tiger Woods. Unique player insights and demanding standards have helped produce a club that delivers Tour-level distance with maximum. From the concept to the course, it is the driver made with and for the games very best.

The Nike Compression Channel increases the overall compression of the body, which produces increased, uniform ball speeds across the entire face. Nike VR Pro Limited Edition Driver The Nike VR Pro Limited Edition Driver provides unlimited control for the experienced player. The Covert Tour will have a 60-gram Kuro Kage with three flexes (R, S, X).The clubhead of both versions of the VR drivers is designed to appeal to golfers seeking lower spin rates and a more penetrating ball flight. The Covert driver will be sold with a 50-gram Kuro Kage with five flexes (W, A, R, S, X).

While that may have been true with past releases, the tour-level performance of the Covert series is enough to warrant its hype early in 2013. There are plenty of avid golfers uninterested in what Nike has to offer in terms of golf clubs. 2nd Swing is home to the most diverse golf inventory at a discounted price. It has a high fiber content and is made with a lighter graphite material. And the VRS Covert driver is Nikes marquee offering this season. Buy, sell & trade new & used golf clubs from the industries most recognizable brands. The stock shaft in each model is the new Kuro Kage by Mitsubishi Rayon. The 4-degree loft range (8.5-12.5) is featured on each head. What golfers will find in retail outlets is one right-handed head and one left-handed head in each model. Design and construction techniques are the same on the two drivers. Two driver models are available: the 460cc Covert and the 430cc Covert Tour. “This driver sounds like a driver is supposed to sound.” Meaning not too loud, not too noisy and not too harsh. Sound and feel are important elements of any driver. In order to experience maximum distance and accuracy, finding the proper loft and face-angle settings are crucial, and Nike has a network of fitters prepared to help consumers. The company also is talking about increased distance on off-center hits. The Covert cavity cannot be seen from address because Tom Stites, Nike Golf’s director of product innovation, covered it with a conventional crown. Used Nike VR S Covert Tour Driver 10.5° Mitsubishi Rayon Fubuki ZT 50 Graphite Stiff Left Handed 45.25in from 2nd Swing Golf with the highest value trade-in program & custom fitting. If cavity back sounds like the description of an iron, this is one of the comparisons Nike is trying to create – the accuracy of an iron in a metalwood. This may be the most important feature of the driver, because it is intended to create a cavity-back effect with perimeter weighting. Nothing new here, most drivers in the market for 2013 offer this ability for the golfer to customise and tweak the club to improve performance based on their swing, and more importantly. The Covert has a large scooped-out area in the sole. The Nike VRS Covert tour driver also features the ability for the golfer to control the loft and face angle of the club via Nike’s ‘flex loft’ technology. It is a sophisticated design, containing mechanisms that might be compared with gears on a bicycle. The Covert hosel is slightly oversized and contains the hardware that controls loft and face-angle adjustability. With separate settings for loft and face angle, golfers have 15 choices for customizing the face. Going up or down in loft, according to Nike, does not move the face angle. Translation: Loft and face angle can be decoupled from each other. The face angle also is adjustable, and Nike says loft and face angle can be altered independently. The loft can be changed from 8.5 degree to 12.5 degree. While the club’s face is USGA compliant, Nike Golf has found a way to enlist the entire club head to increase compression and thus increase ball speeds. The new adjustable VR_S Covert driver is the most distinctive club ever released by Nike Golf. That is, until Nike Golf engineered the new Victory Red STR8 Fit Tour Driver ( 399 ).
