Nike VR Pro Cavity irons
Last updated:
RRP: £490 (s)
LOFTS: 6-iron: 28, PW: 45
TECH TALK Nike used a 47-gram tungsten-resin insert to optimise the CG on each club (3-iron through 8-iron). The idea is to have all irons reach the same peak height during flight. The long irons feature a stronger steel for the face than the other irons for more distance.
PLAYER COMMENTS
L “You don’t see it, but there’s a lot of forgiveness inside these.”
M “The head is compact and has a clean look. It’s workable and gives you plenty of feedback – a good combo.”
HOT Nike doesn’t always get credit for its technology. That’s a shame considering the brainpower behind this iron. Its commitment to the idea of peak height and using different materials to achieve it wasn’t easy. Nike accomplished it and still made a forgiving iron.
NOT The company has yet to get the looks right on its game-improvement
irons. They’re either too erector-set-like or too plain. This one is a little on the simple side.
