I know that these are vastly different than their retail equivalent, and more than likely came from forgings that weren’t even Nike, but just physiologically, you have to wonder how many more majors he could have won if just used a mixed bag of whatever he wanted.

Even today, those Vapor Speed fairway woods are amazing. The sound and feel were still some of the best I ever experienced. I didn’t find the same with the driver unfortunately. On the whole, Nike golf equipment was dismissed by most, but they had a few stand outs over their run.

Nike was paying big bucks for that Logo. Woods, irons and putter look like a Kmart set. Swoosh there it is.

Never looked closely at the irons in the store. I assume that Nike logo was some kind of glued on part that could be removed? I know it stands out but wonder why they just didn’t stamp it? Yes, a very deep question! 🙂

What are you even on about? You say you never looked closely and then proceed to talk about a club you know nothing about.
It’s a stamp with paint-fill like any other club. Lots of people had it stripped and repainted in other colours.

You answered your own question wrong. That’s how dumb you are.

What a weird setup for tiger, every other set of irons he’s ever played look identical to the blades he plays now but these look completely different…also that putter insert? Yikes…
