NIKE FLY Demo and Fitting Cart NOW IN STORE
We now have the new 2016 range of Nike Fly Drivers and Irons available for fitting and Demo ahead of the mid-February Launch. The Vapor Fly and Fly Pro Drivers have a reduced crown weight of 30% over the Vapor 2015 which has allowed the centre of gravity to be lowered promoting a higher launch with lower spin and higher moment of inertia giving more distance across a bigger area on the face, the face and compression channel have both been re-engineered to help distance and performance on miss hits, these Drivers still come with the Covert Cavity Back design and Flex Loft for a wide variation of lofts and club face positions. We also have the Vapor Flex 440 available for Demo, this club is not available until March and is the Driver I have been fitted for and will be playing this season, this striking looking club has 60% of its body made from RZN allowing the weight saved to be moved forward and low to offer even more performance all over the face, it also has the Hyperflight Face and new Compression Channel as both the Fly and Fly Pro models. We have a wide variation of shafts and would highly recommend that you arrange a Fitting to get the best out of these clubs. There are also two new Irons to add to the very popular Vapor Pro Blade and Vapor Pro Combo irons that have carried over from last year, Vapor Fly Pro and Vapor Fly. The Fly Pro iron is aimed at the golfer who likes the slimmer look of the Blade or Pro Combo but needs a little more forgiveness, the longer irons 2,3,4,5 have a hollow cavity for high performance on off centre hits, the 6, 7, 8 have RZN pocket to combine stability with refined feel while the 9,P,A have a RZN cavity to allow more workability. The Vapor Fly offers maximum forgiveness and distance, the modern muscle design balances the CG in the centre of the face for the highest stability and maximum power, the RZN enhanced construction pushes the weight lower for a higher ball flight, these irons really are very user friendly and really do go, if you are looking for more distance from your irons these are definitely worth a try, please click here to book a fitting or make an enquiry.
2016 Launch of NIKE and New PING G Range
We will be receiving our fitting and demo equipment for this range very shortly, ahead of the February launch. Nike are really producing some excellent and innovative equipment now, over the last few years we have had tremendous success with the whole range, I have tried the new Vapor Fly range and this will continue the company's growth in golf. They are now a major player in the golf industry and only going to get bigger, some of the new products in the pipeline are really exciting, the new RZN golf ball being one of them for sure, these will be arriving mid-February. PING have also announced this week the replacement for the very popular G30 range, this new G range will be launched in mid-February. The G30 has been an excellent product and offered great performance with the introduction of Turbulators, the new range will expand on this success in the Drivers, Fairways and Hybrids along with a couple of very interesting additions, a stretch 3 wood which will be aimed more at tee shots and a G Crossover iron which is between an iron and hybrid, the new iron will introduce the COR-Eye technology that has been successful in the G Max iron, it also has a very different look compared to the traditional dark gun metal Ping finish. We will have a full fitting cart and range of demos available by the launch date.
