The VR Tour is the perfect blend of technology and aesthetics. A low spin rate and therefore more penetrating ball flight is achieved with the Nike VR STR8-FIT Tour Driver through a refined and classic design.It still has a high moment of inertia, but combined with the new compression channel, you can get away with off-center hits toward the bottom of the club face and not lose distance. Allowing you to shape the ball a little easier, by altering the loft and lie with 32 different positions is the true value of this driver.
Nike has designed the VR STR8-FIT Tour with a 440cc head, which is also a more traditional 'pear' shape. This is a slightly smaller head than Nike's previous drivers, but once you start hitting balls you certainly won't notice the difference. The design of this driver follows on from the other clubs in the VR range, with red, black and 'chrome' styling. One of the most noticeable things about the head of this driver is a red hollow channel on the sole, this is called the Compression Channel. The Compression Channel produces the power of this club. Once the channel compresses, it acts like a trampoline 'springing' the ball forward off the face of the club. Found on all Nike drivers, the redesigned face technology produces increased ball speeds.
If the Compression Channel powers the club , then the STR8-FT technology steers it. With 15 fade, 15 draw and 2 neutral setups, there are a total of 32 different positions to achieve the shot you want. Open the face up and the ball will fade, close the face and watch the ball draw. All 32 positions lie between 2 degrees open and 2 degrees closed. The Nike Victory Red STR8-FIT Driver offers the skilled golfer a chance to hit balls with the same quality clubs that the tour players use.
If they're good enough for Tiger, then surely their good enough for you!.
