That was the only one. The other 2 models posted to MGS Instagram are hideous. I previously owned a Nike Vapor Pro driver and Flex 3-Wood and still own a Flex Hybrid and Pro Combo irons, but it's a good thing Nike stopped making clubs. My eyes can only tolerate so much ugly and Nike dropping out will ensure they don't fall out of my head and run away due to overexposure.

I think Nike was on the verge of putting out a phenomenal line of clubs.  I have no inside knowledge or anything to base it on but my gut feeling but that could be just gas!  I do like the looks of this driver though.  At one time I had an entire bag of Nike clubs but currently just use a Method Mod 60 putter.

Nike’s VPR Strike driver looks pretty cool. According to what i have read in an article. the VPR Strike represented a major advancement in performance over the previous Vapor Fly Pro model and produced up to 8 mph more ball speed and loads more distance.

I also heard that Rory was seeing 8 mph faster ball speed. That is a big difference, especially when I remember him hitting his Vapor Fly Pro very long and straight. The other piece I really miss from Nike is the balls, their RZN Tour Platinum and Black were amazing!

Yeah, I miss the balls way more than the clubs. I liked the RZN Black.

The main thing I saw in these prototype designs that were floating around was they ditched the cavity which would allow them to bring the COG back down.  The Vapor series always had a high center of gravity because all the weight was moved up towards the crown.  It looks like they added some weights heel and toe that stretch to the back of the head so the forgiveness would be increased.

A much lower CG and more stable head would have definitely been an improvement over the previous models.  What could have been Nike!

My bag is a revolving door!

I think the decision was to pull out of ALL golf equipment and focus on what they are known best for and that's apparel.

I don't believe that Nike lost money in the hard goods side of golf, no matter what anybody says.  I think they got out of it because they weren't making the profit they thought they would with them being "Nike" and having Tiger Woods as their poster boy.  They paid their athletes way too much money to get a good return on investment.

But that's just it. They lost money on clubs and balls because their expenses (including their huge marketing budget) far outweighed the money they were making on club and ball sales.

I still find it hard to believe that any company, including Nike, would be so hard headed that it would lose money every year for 20 years before finally pulling the plug,  I guess my point is I don't think they were losing money on the hard goods, they were just spending too much in the other areas of their golf division.  They may have not been very profitable if at all for 20 years but they were making money on hard goods but not enough to cover all their other stuff.  They lost their money by paying Tiger, Rory, and others an insane amount of money to try to market their clubs as "what the best players play". 

 

I wonder if they divided the contracts up between Golf and Apparel since each athlete was paid to also wear their clothes?  If not how would that have changed the look of the books?

Apparently the nike clubs that were never released are out there somewhere.  Here is a putter that was never release on the bay.  Well out of my price range but man what could have been,

Ha! That made me chuckle too. 

I don't see why someone would pay $2,500 for a putter that would have cost $250 if it had come out like normal. It isn't custom, it isn't fit, I can't really see it being a collector's item so I don't know what justifies the price.
