I picked up this today at Golf Town on sale for $60.



I'm seriously loving Nike clubs. I'm a Callaway guy, but I've been reading up on Nike clubs and I liked what I was reading and watching from videos. So I went into Golf Town today to purchase this club. They didn't have a 3 wood in a left hand version, so I had to settle for the 5 wood. Best purchase I've made to date.

I'm really loving the Str8-Fit technology, I put the face slightly closed to promote a draw. Easy to adjust as well. Great system. So I came home, got my golf clubs and went out and played a round with some friends. I'm very pleased with the results. First few hits I took with the VR Pro Fairway Wood I topped the ball. I was so used to my old wood lol. After I got used to the club and the feel, I was hitting the ball solid every time. Great sound and feel off the face.

Highly recommended for anyone looking for a new fairway wood.

Yeah, I swear by my Nike VR wedges. I have Ping i10 irons, but I love, love, love my nike wedges. My game is so much better from about 120 and in with them. I can spin it, shape and score with those clubs. I'm my 4 man teams go to guy when we get in that range.

Still haven't holed out from distance, but I have come close and have left some violent pitch marks close to the flag.

My dad has this and he likes it. He has some lower back problems so doesn't hit it all too long, but he keeps it in the short stuff. I'm a lefty and have always struggled with a wood off the deck. I've been a player to hit my 5 iron, then a wedge and two putts for par. I'd like to try it out though haha.

Just got a new set of Callaway Diablo Edge irons yesterday. Can't wait to get out and try them Sunday or Monday.

Alright, here's a few from today:






Better results with my driver, my irons not so much. It might just be me seeing things, but it looks like my swing speed has increased as a result of this change, which is great for me as I'm not the longest hitter out there.

I played 9 holes on a hot and humid day with people who can hardly hit the ball in the air. My first tee shot on the 10th hole was 220 yards and straight, a pure beauty. I played decent, and even had a birdie on 18! I think I was +3 on the back nine.

JJ, to me it just looks like you're too stiff. Its almost like you're in too big of a hurry to hit the ball. Relax a bit and let the swing come naturally.

[Po1soNNN]

It does look like you're rushing, and you are pulling and slicing things. That comes fom the grip. Just relax man, don't try to kill it.

[Matt10]

JJ - it's a solid start. The guys are right, you are a bit stiff.

I want you to check out this video by Monte. It's hailed as one of the best to date on golfwrx forums:



Your plane will be built on being relaxed. I swing with very relaxed arms and hands - I let my shoulders turn on the plane that is naturally set up when I bend over to the ball.

If I were you, I'd also subscribe to Monte's videos. The guy knows what he's talking about - and he puts it in a very plain English. Furthermore, he answers messages directly on the golfwrx forums and is active there.

Played last night and was kind of all over the place on the way to a 46.

This Friday, I'll be playing in a 4-man scramble and next weekend in another one. My teams won both of them last year (there is one other guy that's on both teams along with me), so hopefully we can repeat that success.
