Nike VR clubs have 85 wins (to date) on the worldwide Tours and the new range of VR_S woods are designed to offer more speed and additional forgiveness. ﬔ at speaks volumes for how far the equipment has come in the last decade.
It received similarly positive reviews in the hands of our other testers with Jon, Dave R and Chris particularly impressed with the feel and forgiveness and Dave C commenting on the high-end components and adjustable head for less than £200.įor the first time our test team indicated that between the VR_S and the VR Pro Limited Edition, there was a Nike driver they’d stick in the bag. Pro James agreed it looked very good for what could be considered a driver for mid-high handicappers but admitted he was disappointed with the feel. ﬔ ree HCP tester James V was immediately taken with the VR_S, saying the feedback was superb and he felt as though he was in complete control of the ball off the tee, knocking it out to his fourth longest on test.
