Quigleyd Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 I can’t take credit for these As I found them on the gram, posted by Rick shiels, but thought they looked good. I think Nike was soo close to being a major hard goods brand..

heribertomaya Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 Nike irons were amazing! I played the original Nike Forged Pro Combo irons for 13 years, they were THAT good! it was the rest of the line that was a bit lacking.

RickyBobby_PR Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 Nike was barely getting around 4% of market share with 3 of the biggest names in golf with tiger, rory and wie. If that group can’t move product there was nothing Nike was going to be able to do to become major player in hard goods. If they were close they would have stayed in business Grand Stranded and JohnSmalls 2 Quote Driver: PXG 0811 X+ Proto w/UST Helium 5F4 Wood: TaylorMade M5 5W w/Accra TZ5 +1/2”, TaylorMade Sim 3W w/Aldila rogue white Hybrid: PXG Gen2 22* w/AD hybrid Irons: PXG Gen3 0311T w/Nippon modus 120 Wedges: TaylorMade MG2 50*, Tiger grind 56/60 Putter: Scotty Caemeron Super Rat1 Ball: Titleist Prov1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe their sales were more regional. I saw a bunch of Nike stuff go out the door of the shop I work at part time. You most likely have far greater insight into equipment sales as a whole than I do. So I will of course defer to your knowledge base. My comment about being close was more directed at the quality of their product. Not so much towards the sales. They had a rough start and I think that to some degree created a much steeper climb. Their last few releases were very good though. As far as design is concerned. With as big of a sporting goods monster that Nike is, if they left the market. It was for a reason. I selfishly wish they could have hung on a few more years.

Nike made a great product especially in the vr irons. i happen to have a friend or two over the years with access to sales numbers. Nike was steady in the middle of the pack and could never gain ground on the big boys. From what I understand they weren’t losing money per se on hard good but because they weren’t growing they stepped away from hard goods like they did in many other sports Quigleyd and JohnSmalls 2 Quote Driver: PXG 0811 X+ Proto w/UST Helium 5F4 Wood: TaylorMade M5 5W w/Accra TZ5 +1/2”, TaylorMade Sim 3W w/Aldila rogue white Hybrid: PXG Gen2 22* w/AD hybrid Irons: PXG Gen3 0311T w/Nippon modus 120 Wedges: TaylorMade MG2 50*, Tiger grind 56/60 Putter: Scotty Caemeron Super Rat1 Ball: Titleist Prov1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So maybe we are seeing what they would have done. With just a different name.
