On 2005-03-25, ellos rated this Nike CPR 18* w/ UST Irod Shaft a 5...(5256)
Purchase: Bought from a local shop, paid $135.00
Pros: Well I was searching for the perfect hybrid club since I cant really hit my 3i and 4i... Well I demoed everything I ended up buying the TaylorMade Rescue Mid 19* with Aldila NV shaft I hit it well at the golfsmith store on there lauch monitor. That week I hit the range with my new Hybrid I could not hit this club for **** I would slice it big time.. I tried it for a few days and the same result... So a buddy of mine just picked up the Nike CPR 22* he let me try it and it was awesome I was hitting it staright everytime.. So I put my taylormade up for sale on ebay.. And went to the shop and picked up the New Nike CPR woods style 18* with the new Ust Irod shaft reg flex... I took it to the range that day and I can say is WOW... I have never hit a club this good. The feel of this hybrid is perfect just the right weight and the shaft feels great plays a little stiff which I like. I am fairly new golfer and have some troublke hitting my 3 woods and my old 5 wood which I took out of my bag but with this CPR I hit it consistently 190-210 staright everytime.. The ball flight with this shaft combo is perfect Med-High and it is so easy to hit. I usually slice but I cant slice this thing if I tried.. Even miss hits go straight.. I am so happy with this club, finally I have a club in my bag thats gives me confidence knowing I can hit it everytime and get that yardage and accuracy and I can work the ball... Thats something I could never do.. If your looking for a hybrid club to fill in for your 5wood, 2i and 3i this is it.. Like I said I demoed everything and by far this is the best Hybrid out there.. Alot of people dont like Nike golf equipment cause its Nike but for everyone out there that is looking for a Hybrid give this a try you wont be sorry. They sell for $129 with the Nike Cpr shaft but for a extra 20 bucks you can get the Ust Irod shaft and let me tell you its worth it.. I usally only like Aldila shafts but I am loving this shaft its a perfect combo with the CPR Nike did a hell of a job with this one..
Cons: The only thing is the Maroon color at first glance it looks a little weird but with the new Irod shaft which is carbon fiber and maroon the club looks pretty killer..
Quality: Construction is top notch in my opinion..
Review Summary: Well bottom line if your looking for a hybrid to take place of your 5 wood/2i/3i this is it. Super easy to hit, feels smooth, weight distrbution is perfect.. The best Hybrid out there in my opinion
