On 2005-12-21, Igniteman rated this Nike Ignite a 5...(6509)



Purchase: I bought this driver off Ebay for $152.00
Pros: Everything. Hell, Tiger Woods uses this driver, so why not me. I am 16, used to drive 245 yards. Now, with the Ignite 460cc I can average 270 on average. Pretty good, hu? It is gorgeous for looks as well as polay. The distance is simply amazing!
Cons: anything? NO
Quality: It was made by Tiger Woods standards. PERFECT

Review Summary: Right now, the price in sporting goods stores is $469.00 On Ebay, you can steal them brand new for less than $200 GO get ya one!!!!!!!!

On 2005-10-05, smithtown golfer rated this Nike Ignite a 5...(6279)



Purchase: I paid $179 new from GolfDiscount.com as a price match to Golfsmith. I was bored with my existing Callaway GBB2 which I have been using for aout a year. I was motivated towards a driver that would allow me to work the ball a bit. The stock shaft in the Ignite 9.5 degree is a Fujikara, which is superior to many aftermarket replacement shafts.
Pros: This driver tends to produce a low, stinging tee shot that is very long, and vey hot. When I try to bias a draw or cut shot the driver delivers without fail. For a 460 CC head the club prefers a slightly lowered tee height (no problem here). I swing at about 100 mph, and so the stiff shaft gives me optimal flex, good feel and positive control. I just got back from a trip to Ocean City Maryland, where I broke this club in with three days of 36 holes per day. I was consistently driving the ball 275 yards at about 90% speed/power. The NexTi face is very hot and produces a great sound at impact. I did notice that the club face seems to prefer softer balls (i.e.: The Precept Ladie Extreme flies really well off the face of this club. Hard covered balls like the Titleist DT seem to be unworkable).
Cons: The finish for Nike is a bit on the "Plain Jane" side. You'd expect something a little more sexy from Nike,.... maybe they are trying to class-up their act. Otherwise no complaints at all. Hey if Tiger used it to win a bunch of times this year,.... how bad could it be?!
Quality: Overall, it seems to be made well. I was able to put a little scratch in the toe due to a poor off center shot (okay, okay, I lifted my head when the beverage cart girl pulled up to the tee box). It was nothing a little black laundry marker ink and some Fitz polish could fix. The finishes, although understated, are elegant.

Review Summary: Buy this. Put it in your bag and don't be afraid to use it. It will impres you.

On 2005-08-02, Chris rated this Nike Ignite a 5...(5989)



Purchase: Aquired unit from TGW.com and paid 299.00
Pros: The driver feels nice. Not a heavy head. Smooth design.
Cons: No dislikes yet.
Quality: Quality is A1, Construction feels nice.

Review Summary: I brought this club to the driving range for a true test. Took about 20 swings to really get semi-comfortable with it. I was used to playing a Taylor Made 360. After I startedto hit this club well. It really made a difference. 250 yd drives were not our of range. I could normall hit 250 yds 5 out of 10 times. Not I would say 8 out of 10 is the norm. I also started using Nike MOJO balls. Together they feel like they were made for each other.

On 2005-03-10, mischeveous marmalade monkey rated this Nike Ignite a 5...(5160)



Purchase: I first heard about this driver in june of 2004 at a local golf shop called roger surettes. I demoed the driver out for a couple of rounds from the demo program. I paid only $180 for the club on ebay after shipping and charges plus the stock headcover it was just over 260 dollars.
Pros: I like the driver because it's long. It's longer than adams redline, Callaway Big Bertha 454, Ping G2 and even the new Taylor's. The ball feels like it is going inside the face before rocketing off. I'm not afraid to say it's as forgiving as Mizuno, Callaway or Cleveland's composit technolgy. You can't beat it.
Cons: One thing that does bother me is it dosen't draw as well it's for someone who hooks the ball in the first place.
Quality: The stock grips are from Golf Pride which 8 out of 10 tour pros choose to play. They are stocked with the fujikura shaft which is very competitive with Aldila's NV65 and Graffaloy's Pro Launch and the Blue. The bulk of the 460cc club head is built up on the toe. The NexTi according to Nike and Tiger woods is the hottest metal out there and it is built up around the crown and 25cc sweet zone. The rest of the face and club head is made of forged titanium.

Review Summary: In conclusion is the longest most forgiving and most technically sound possible driver.

On 2004-08-24, Greg rated this Nike Ignite a 5...(4150)



Purchase: I recently went into my clubs' pro shop, East Renfrewshire, with the view of buying myself, a 28 handicapper, a new driver. I paid £250.
Pros: I immediately fell in love as the shiny orange 'Ignite' strip on the back caught the sunlight. i was amazed by the straightness and supreme distance as i found my ball sailing through the back of a 250 yard par 4! and somehow i still got a bogey!!
Cons: The size of the head can be a bit off putting as you align up the shot. But apart from that, unless you count going through a green a bad thing!, its great.
Quality: It is awesomely constructed out of NexTi, the newest and sweetest titanium out. This creates a hugely forgiving face and an overall huge sweetspot. The quality is of the highest standard which gives unequalled control and workability.

Review Summary: The Nike Ignite is definately the way to go. My handicap has dropped from 28 to 19! all thanks to the Ignite. If you're looking for unequalled distance, forgiveness and workability look no further than the Ignite.

Purchase: A liquidation/closeout type store,for only 80 bucks ($can$) brand new
Pros: If you hit it in the sweet spot the ball absolutely takes off. There is huge difference in distance between hitting it in the sweetspot compared to a mishit. My mishits still go 200 plus, but when I make a good swing I can nail it 260! Thats what I like about the driver, I can take a smooth, solid swing and just let the club do the work ... then take a long walk in the short grass!
Cons: the grey face looks like it was made out of plastic, and the sound isnt very soothing either. i find it a little hard to control, but I have a 46-inch shaft, so that could explain it.
Quality:

Review Summary: Now that they are 2 years old, these drivers are pretty cheap. If you cant afford the new ignite, pick up one of these.
