Purchase: I bought this driver at the local Golf Course. I went there with a roll of cash looking for a driver. I demoed the new Ping the new Taylor Made and didn't get to demo thie Nike because they didn't have the demos avalible yet. This driver looks awsome. And since they say golf is a mental sport I just went with it. Looks do not decieve with this unit. First drive with it I drove the green on a down hill slight wind 345 hole. I paid 340 for it with 20% off.
Pros: Looks are second to none. From the nice grip (not to sticky not to rough) to the nice shaft with just the right amount of flash to it. But the head is just plan old beautiful. Looks great at adress and looks do sell this club makes you feal like Tiger when you hold it. Kudos to the desigh team. the ball really does scream off of the club face it is hot. Toe hits and thin hits are really quite good. Center hits in the HUGE SWEET SPOT are impresive, just grab your tee and grin. Distances are superb to anything else. I am a 12 Handicap and I now average about 280 (5200' above sea level) The head cover is plain old awsome greaat color and it is designed with the same aspects of the head.
Cons: Heel hits are not to impressive.
Head cover knitting material on the bottom already has a hole in it and likes to snag way to easy. Simply over loooked on a unit as top notch as this.
Also now I have to buy those dam 3" tees but oh well.
Sound is average but you can tell a good shot from a bad one by the sound, unlike many others. When you nail it your group will know it though.
Quality: Construction Perfect: no flaws to be seen.
Quality: easily best I have seen other than the knitting on the head cover.
Review Summary: Best purchase for my game yet. Instead of 5, 6, 7's into the greens now I am using 8, 9, Pitching wedge into the greens.
Nike may Have built this driver to get Tiger to drop the Titleist but it sure does work for me.
