Nike Red Victory full cavity - an offset iron aimed at the club golfer
|
The Victory Red Forged TW Blade features a more traditional muscle back design with a centre of gravity positioned to Tiger Woods’ specification to provide the control and shot shaping the World No.1 demands. Made of 1025 Forged Carbon steel with a CNC milled face, they differ from Nike’s original Blades through a more modified backpad and a slightly thicker toe.
“I like the new VR Blades because of the consistent feel throughout the bag, how good it looks in a playing position and my workability." said Woods who used a 60-degree VR wedge to win his US open title in June.
“I can shape the ball both ways, change my trajectory, do whatever I need to do to hit the ball closest to the hole and be as efficient as I can throughout the round. That’s ultimately what you want to have happen. I hope to have these new irons in my bag when I return to competition. ”
Available in right-hand only, the men's set (3-PW) will cost £720 or £630 for a set of seven irons (4-PW).
The VR Forged Split Cavity irons are available in both left and right-handed versions costing £630 for seven irons and £720 for eight.
They have a moderately wider sole and slightly thicker topline than the blades and a split back design which positions the centre of gravity behind the sweet spot for more control and forgiveness. They deliver a higher trajectory from a more offset head.
The full cavity VR iron is even more offset with a wide sole and thick topline to give more confidence to the club golfer. Centre of gravity is further back to give a high launch and soft landing. Nike claims it's more forgiving on off-centre hits and has a progressive thickness of the face from top to bottom.
Available in left and right-hand options for men (4-SW) and women (5-SW), prices are expected to range from £490 for seven clubs with steel shafts to £640 for eight clubs with graphite shafts.
