With the number of clubs out on the market this year that tout forgiveness to the amateur player who is still perfecting his game, Nike isn’t holding any punches when they rolled out the Vapor Pro Combo Irons. These irons are designed for the advanced player and will show off great performance if the player puts his all into every swing he makes. People will either love or hate this club based on their skill level as it is the successor of the Nike VR Pro Combo. Yet based on the progressive technology that Nike is rolling out during 2015, there is one thing that players can be sure about. The Vapor Pro Combo will give solid performance and consistent shots to the right player, making them a beast out on the course.
Let’s talk about the basics of the Nike VR Pro Combo.
One thing that has been creating buss in the golfing circles is the resin that Nike has included in all of the clubs. The company believes that because resin is lightweight yet strong, it increases the center of gravity to the club without placing too much weight that can impact the balance. With a better center of gravity at the center of the face, players can reach that maximum ball speed that they have always wanted with the control that they dreamed about.
In the long irons, Nike utilizes the RZN cavity and in the short irons is the muscle cavity to give more workability and stability to shape the right shot for the course even for miss-hits. While we did mention that the club can be unforgiving to beginner and amateur players, it does offer a bit of leniency due to the beveled leading edge along the progressive sole width that offers more versatility. Players can see enhancements to ball spin due to the precision machine milled X3X grooves while the 1025 carbon steel body gives refined feedback.
Nike stuck to tradition for the shape of the short irons while choosing a longer, lower profile for their long irons. Combined with a Golf Pride Tour velvet grip, the sleek look and comfortable grip matches its strengths when it comes to consistency, power and stability. The comfortable grip will come in handly when you want to play all day at beautiful Bend golf courses.
Overall, the Nike Vapor Pro Combo Irons will give the playability that experienced golfers want when tweaking the shape of their shots while fine-tuning the control and spin. Put everything into the club and it will respond in kind. The iron will definitely give distance and drive to each swing with a good center of gravity. The irons excel in all types of terrain conditions to give the desired launch and to place the ball in the right location on that golf course Bend, Oregon.
Again, this is not an iron for the beginner or for the casual player that doesn’t put their best into the game. They simple won’t respond the way that these golfers like and will cause a bit of frustration over not giving anything toward forgiveness. The Vapor Pro Combo is a well-rounded club that can achieve the expectations of pro players. It might take some golfers some time to get used to the color of the irons and the bright green accent. If it is not an issue with you, then you will enjoy having this type of club in your bag.
