NIKE VAPOR FLY IRONS REVIEW

[@gregboggs4721]

I'm a senior golfer (60) just hit these at a PGA Superstore and really liked them. As far as the looks go I think they are awesome! Guess I'm just too cool!

[@ktbo]

I'm 42 and I love the look of them. Golf sometimes can be too traditional. It is 2015 not 1970.

[@mauipuamana]

Agreed...I'm 50 and love the look. I'll be getting them in a few months.

[@merlinleduc7381]

*to, not too

[@eduardwalhout1740]

Hows that midlife crisis going?

[@jacksonthomas0177]

Still a Piece of garbage he was actually right dawg. You made it wrong

[@TIMSANDYSURF]

Ummm I'm 54 (playing golf for two years) and never been a Nike fan but .......... I like them. Maybe I'm getting cooler ?

[@MrAshtute]

or going senile?

[@jakeheath-ourakov9942]

Adam Flynn haha

[@dextermorgan9762]

Hey Rick I really enjoyed that you hit way more shots than usual, way to go. Gives it a more honest average. However I really like that when you test irons you usually use a flagstick as a marker of reference. Really good video though, kudos to you

[@RickShielsPGA]

Thanks Dexter. I'm going to work on the graphics once I've got more data from different clubs. Thanks

[@steverichardson7748]

As a 27 year old man I would game theses all day long they look great not tacky at all. Nice to see something different on the market with a bit of colour. I may have to hit one now I'm looking at the benross max speed 10s because of there "cool" design

[@2Bad.]

Great video Rick. Happy to see that you are hitting more golf balls for the comparisons. I believe that it gives the viewer a much better understanding of what the clubs are capable of doing. Keep up the good work.

[@FengWilliam]

I absolutely love the colour. Can't wait for your comparison.

[@rhysjones7386]

Really like the new testing. Much more comprehensive! Really helps when making choices for making choices on what to try at a fitting! Good work

[@trainnedgunner5189]

Play with them for 7yrs now ... Enjoy them and thanks for the review it helped in the decision when sizing for them.

[@peterkerr7355]

good video rick much better way of testing clubs keep up the great work!!

[@RickShielsPGA]

Thanks Peter it's very much appreciated and can't wait to keep enhancing the way I test club's

[@cwsiggy77]

Interesting your 10 "worst" shots had the tightest/ best dispersion. Great review

[@MikeHoncho3]

Great review. I like the 30 shots better than the 5 you used to do. More numbers/ averages.

[@Exasperatedgolf]

too cool for school !! theyre great Im 55 and love the look feel and just shot my best round for 40 years ! ( and my hats the right way round) cool review.

[@javedmower4091]

I typically prefer a more classic looking iron but appreciate what Nike bring to the market. Like others have said golf has gotten a little sterile and a bit of colour never hurt anyone. We want to bring more younger players into the game as well and Nike will achieve this. As long as the performance is there nobody can poke at them as their marketing is some of the best in the business world. Thumbs up.

[@MARTIN-xt5zk]

Great new format, the extra shots add an extra level of integrity to the review

[@tonyatkinson4217]

Rick, enjoyed the new version of testing love knowing the data behind the strikes thanks

[@Toshinatrix]

Hiya Rick, These reviews with the 30 balls of data are the best club reviews I have seen. Keep at it :)

[@cace81]

First off, I like the new review format. Although I didn't think you ever hit a poor shot so that was surprising! :) I game Bridgestone J15 CB irons currently. Also have a set of Srixon Z745s in the garage that I rotate into the bag. That said, I'd game these irons in a heart beat if they felt good. I'm in my mid-30's and I don't think these are too "funky" looking honestly.

[@jamiemontgomeryballochmyle7048]

Hey Rick, Great review and fair honesty which is needed in reviews instead of some youtubers who can favour different brands. Only thing I miss from your reviews is that you don't show the ball flight on GC2. This is what made your videos unique and more appealing certainly to me. Can you introduce that to your videos again? It generally give me personally a better of idea about how the ball flies off the club face etc. Thanks Jamie

[@azinser31]

I agree, Jamie, I really did like watching the ball flight. It really separated his videos from all of the others.

[@davidstucky]

+Jamie Montgomery Ballochmyle GC totally agree.

[@davidhovde]

Thanks Rick! Fair and not afraid to give an option as always. Well done.

[@andresinclair7219]

Just borrowed a set of nike vapor fly from my local golf shop, what a fantastic set of irons very long very controllable and sooooooon easy to hit. had various Nike clubs drivers, woods putter etc currently have vapor speed driver special edition volt , flex rescue and 3 wood but never had a set of their irons that will change this week. Nike seem to have done the impossible a game improvement iron with super feel and some playability. had callaway x2 hot previously and they were long and straight but too clicky. going to try the nike vapor fly pro next before I take the plunge and make my purchase

[@goltzhar]

Really well done Rick! Nice to see a more average hits total and not just 5 shots. It makes a much more accurate reading of the stats YOU perform and I can do a much more realistic assessment what my performance would be. Thanx

[@alpha4omega]

Well done Rick. I like the new style of knowing the lost yards between good shots and bad shots.

[@gerencher]

You are correct ... Too cool. (From someone who hits MP-54s which are beautiful)

[@cwugrad396]

+Paul Gerencher love my combo MP54 and MPH5's - Mizuno best feeling clubs

[@Musicmaster6921]

Really great video! Liking seeing more than just 5-10 shots, gives a much better idea of what the club can do. Also any chance we will get to see a review of these with Rob? Fingers crossed on that.

[@Travisbryson1978]

Thanks for adding more shots for us data geeks....

[@seeligsilence]

Good job Fella! This is my first time of watching any of your videos, sorry! Have to say though, I loved it, would rather watch and listen to you than some other "Celebrity" KZbinrs :) keep it up and I'm looking forward to watching more! All the best

[@keithfinley2939]

Are you still using the Hogans? And have you tried this cavity model? Might be perfect for the quest...

[@jasonbelcher3024]

Keep up the good work rick. You Ganna get a high handicap to do some testing again? Also am 33 I'd game those all day loving what nike are doin with three clubs

[@jeffysgolfgame7855]

like the new format :)

[@davidcole2337]

Did you ever try Nike Sumo irons? Curious to what you think of those. Yes they are 10 Year old Tech, but Ebay has set for $70 right now very little used.

[@thefak9183]

got from vaping to this

[@nba_fanboy_0425]

Doesn't look as chunky as the speed irons from last year but very similar and pretty neat looking clubs.

[@grants2077]

"Too cool for school" - old man Shiels. But I do really like that review format, keep up the good work as always.

[@mrCaptainFTW]

Hey Rick, I really like that Nike is making "cool" clubs! As a 20 year old golfer who's a mid handi capper (12) I get bored with what's out on the market, everything is geared toward the older men in the sport, black, white and boring. I'm happy Nike is taking a stance at targeting the younger players in the game. Good for them because no one else really has, Can't wait to try the Nike vapor fly pros!

[@bigscreenbird8198]

Hey Rick! Always enjoy your vids and def enjoy the reviews more than anything else. I think these new irons are pretty sharp and might have to try them out. Do you have the shaft sized for you, or is it stock from factory? Are you still hitting the ft worth 15 irons?

[@py0413]

Hi Rick, will there be a review of the Nike vapor fly irons vs the cobra F6 irons coming soon? I think they will be very close competitors. Thanks for all the great videos and hard work.

[@pmac6062]

Great review Rick. very good with the 30 shots. I hate the dayglow volt colour with the blue though. Just doesn't work. Too cool for school! More like to fugly m8.

[@lendog9312]

I think they got exactly what they wanted...all the young golfers are gonna want these clubs and with that comes nike golf users for the future also!

[@GolfGeek]

Nice review Rick 😃👍

[@gathurstgolflads1189]

Love the vids but would love to see the simulator where you have a green that comes up on the screen 👍

[@me7524]

Good video and great new testing format however still believe ping rapture iron the most forgiving ever buy each to their own

[@Martin-nd9pg]

These have got my name written all over them! Cheers Rick, you've mind my mind up i am having these clubs come next payday ❤

[@Ccaiman]

Very good new system, alot more to show with more shots/data.

[@Thelooose1]

hi rick, i was hoping you could do a complimation of golf irons for higher handicappers

[@06aikens]

Maybe Counterflex putter review? Saw you trying it out in some videos! Also lunar control 4 shoes?

[@jwbeekmans]

Nice testing methode!! I know you're a busy man, but.... Can you maybe do some retesting on current irons? Like Titleist 716 AP2's? Please?

[@stevenclark7836]

Rick, I really like that you are using 30 balls for your test. How are you defining best, average, and worst? I would like to see additional data and graphics.

[@neilclarke3513]

Much better statistical analyses Rick! Now you can compare irons...versus slots o'clock would be great!

[@robpottergolf]

Love the new testing strategy. Much more of a closed test. Interesting on your take with the colour as well. Thought that was my job to beast the manufacturer on that lol. Great video though boss ☺

[@11jv]

you're spot on rick. i won't even consider buying these irons or any of the recent nike clubs. it's like they've got the football boot / high top trainer design team to design them and they're trying to make bold statements with color yet i don't think color is ever the key feature of a beautiful looking club. even though rory and tiger use them i think nike are way down the golf club pecking order.

[@Kib67]

Rick, can you please test the new Mizuno range? The new EZ looks amazing, both woods and irons!

[@RumQuinn]

Great video!

[@RickShielsPGA]

Thanks

[@maxzurmuhlen3117]

I like the new format!! Please do the Apex Pro, I need the opinion!

[@adz4style]

would love it if you could test its forgiveness off the toe and heel and definitely how responsive is the club to shot shaping. Great job by the way

[@benflynn3558]

love the new format. great way to get a good idea of how a range of shots affects performance. Now if only you could work out standard error and some graphs ... ;-)

[@grahamstevenson410]

like the new graphics,

[@ZDUTCH1]

Wow, young Rick! I have these irons but never really played them (got them almost free 5 years ago). This review is making me appreciate them (like the driver). I didn't quite like the steel shafts in them. Think it be worth re-shafting? I'm 56 and need more forgiveness. Might be a good option? Thanks again. 🤙⛳

[@hmmwhatnametohave]

Hey Rick, would be handy to know your average carry / total distance with your own set of clubs, just so that the viewers have a reference point when looking at the numbers you put up on screen for each new club you test.

[@drewmistic9486]

I like the new studio boys!

[@cwugrad396]

10 Best & 10 Average & 10 Worst .... Absolutely Brilliant Idea. More work for you. More accurate and helpful review for us.

[@johnnymc745]

This is a very good video and might just get these 3-PW ⛳️🏌🏾

[@metamurph]

What I want to know is how you like the feel compared to current year. That is what I like with current Vapor Pro and Pro Combo they are just like butter. Looks, these are "fine" and I doubt they are looking for stodgey old guys anyway, golf needs more young guys/gals to start playing forget us old sods.

[@thejasonsmith1979]

Rob Potter time i think. 16 yards long and short dispersion from a teaching pro who is a pretty decent ball striker. Let's get Rob on the case to see how it performs in a real world test.

[@ponce1521]

Wheres the review on lc4 and rzn protos?? Awesome reviews!!

[@RickShielsPGA]

LC4? Proto in the new year I'd guess

[@ponce1521]

+Rick Shiels Golf Channel the lunar control 4 shoes. Sorry about that.

[@matthewhodge1137]

Hahaha loving the comments of super young Rick that has the presence of a 50+ ear old. Too cool for school!

[@MontyDodge]

Rick, i know i'm going back a bit now but did you do a test on the nike vrs cavity back irons? If so can you put a link in please.

[@Bobbygregstanius]

I'm 25 and just bought these and there beeeaaautiful!

[@angelgonzalez14]

Do you still like them?

[@grogfisher]

Hey Rick, Would you recommend these clubs to the player that might also be looking at the Ping G-max series?

[@roccodimiccio5199]

Should I pay 350 usd for a brand new set now?

[@brandonjohnson6752]

Nike is on top of their game

[@ratburn14]

I shoot low 90s to high 80s. Interested in Nike clubs. Which do you recommend between these and the vapor speed pertaining to forgiveness? Thanks.

[@t.j.hodnett9658]

Hey Rick, what's your take on the news about Nike??

[@gamesofcontent]

LMFAO I started golfing during covid and bought the Callaway Edge Costco set. Today my girlfriend made us stop at a garage sale and I didnt want to. Found a set of Nike Pro combos, she was asking $200 and i got em for $145. I swear to god they are MINT. The 7 iron and P are the only ones that even show wear, look lile they hit 3 balls. 3 and 4 look like they have never even been swung. Grips are good too. I'm stoked! Shot a 94 in my first game with them.

[@bradcollins5025]

How do these compare back to the Pro Combos from the prior release?

[@brandonpiserchia486]

Rick, I'm a high handicap 19-year-old and I don't play a lot but I was recommended to get Nike irons for their forgiveness. Would you recommend the VRS 2.0 Covert irons or the vapor fly and why. Which is more forgiving. Would really help out! Thank you!!

[@wayneswisher8222]

Are any of their irons forged? Thanks for the review.

[@sylleFifa]

Nike vapor pro combo and Nike vapor pro

[@user-el7rk6zz2g]

So i know im a little late and you probably wont reply but i want to get into golfing if this a good set to start off with

[@jamesgibson3838]

Hey Rick I am holding you responsible for the end of my marriage before its started as tried these irons today after previously owning old sq machspeed and now I have to have them. Solid powerful hits every time

[@eriksanchez2601]

Rick, do the longer irons feel more like metalwoods? From what I've read this is the case but wanted a better idea from someone who's hit them. Cheers!

[@summerman2]

I would like to see you hit further to the outside of the sweet zone. High handycappers would not be hitting in the center of the blade as you are doing. Thanks.

[@dark1382]

Are these better performing and more forgiving than the RSI 1?

[@magictooth2]

i want these now

[@gianmarcobalsamo457]

I'm a middle high handicap (going fast to middle) and i'm playing aeroburner irons (5\pw) fitted with standard graphite shafts (cause my swing was really slow but was increased right now). I'm thinking to change my arsenal and i'm looking for this clubs, looking really good and not chunkie like aeroburner (still love my clubs). I'm also fitted steel shaft lightweight stiff (X95, DGSL and so on) and i have a great feeling. Can u suggest that this clubs can give me some more in my game or simply change the shafts (switching to steel) on my aeroburner Rick? Thanx for this amazing video.

[@16pennynails]

The original pro combo forged from 2002 or was it 03, they look great now, and if Nike was still around and brought those out they'd fit right in with those fake rivets and all, light stock steel shaft, pretty neat grips with the plastic medallion in the butt end,,, back then I wasn't impressed at all just looking at them and the eight hundred dollar price. I liked the idea of a real honest blended set of irons, I was doing that but really mixing and matching....hoping, but all the equipment manufacturers started offering similar mixed sets, or blended as we call it now. These here just look too toyish really, almost toys r us stuff, no matter how well they work. I am taking an interest in Nike golf clubs these days, despite their pulling out of golf equipment, or maybe because of it.

[@aedvark]

volt is the same colour (aussie spelling) as a high viz work shirt

[@matthewsalazar880]

The first set is indeed, too cool for school

[@MissyLaMotte]

First: I like the new review style with more shots being hit and the approach of taking the best, worst and average shots as a basis of comparison. That said, I agree with what somebody else said that I would like to actually see a few more of the shots hit in the video. Second: yup, I would not have called it "too cool", because of course, even though I am over forty and a woman, I think of myself as very cool and would not mind hitting cool looking clubs ;) but the look of the irons totally does not appeal to me. I like the photo blue as a colour, that's not it. But the combination with the yellow swoosh and the rzn back ... it is all a bit much.

[@DMFChavez]

Great review style. Much better information. Maybe just a 20 second montage of the flight of some of the 30 shots you skipped through would be nice. Other than that, much enjoyed

[@fernandotrovarellibiagi7612]

Liked the idea of more shots but I kinda miss the simulator.

[@Hendrix-Jimi]

Late to the party Rick. Just bought a used set.

[@a2thetrax314]

got em last year. i still suck, but damn i look cool doing it.

[@karterrob]

What program is he using to get this data?

[@jasonman1515]

When are you going to get the Famous Rob Potter to test drive these new clubs or the latest clubs?

[@RickShielsPGA]

As soon as we can sync our diaries. He has gone big time now. Ha

[@jasonman1515]

Well tell him we miss him on youtube. And Rick awesome video and love the new place for your coaching. Hope everything goes well with you and Peter. One last thing, when are you guys going to come to Texas? LOL

[@robpottergolf]

+Rick Shiels Golf Channel boss.....you own the rights to Dobby "Club review" Potter. You've got me when you want me ☺ Plus I can feel my tourettes building on the colour lol

[@209carlos1]

I have a set of clubs that I bought and I’m new. I want to get fitted for clubs. So I get my current clubs fitted for me? Or do I get fitted and have to buy a new set?

[@06aikens]

Also Recoil 460 F3 looks a little graphite looking because it is graphite!

[@JAG1651]

+S-Aiken Was just about to say the same thing. F3 too, reg flex, no wonder these babies go like stink for Rick!

[@ericld11]

Either Callaway did something to upset Rick or someone is paying him NOT to review the Apex and Apex Pro 16 irons. Arguably among the best irons from last season, updated in capital fashion.

[@MrGautKiller]

Hey Rick, I'm 16 and do you think that the pro combo can be great for my level ?

[@RealDirtyDan2000]

It Depends How Well You Hit Your Irons

[@thanukaabeywardhana7143]

I have that set

[@CHuzz7777]

Yuk! I bought the Nike SQ Machspeed irons because it hit them so nicely even though I didn't particularly like the look. This is too far though, I just couldn't!!

[@jarrodbeukes5577]

I really want a set of vapor fly pro can your help me out
