Nike claim not one but two milestone advances in golf club technology with their Ignite driver - NexTi and the Around the Crown design. NexTi is the next evolution of Titanium, following Beta-Titanium, which is currently the standard for driver face material. Some of the world's top metallurgists developed NexTi exclusively for Nike Golf. The result is a layered yet tightly compressed metal that is thinner, lighter, and stronger than Beta-Titanium. Additionally, NexTi microfibres can be bent, shaped and formed unlike previous forms of titanium. NexTi's unique strength even when bended and formed allowed Nike to expand the sweet spot of the club head to the edges of the face. Nike Golf's engineers developed the Around the Crown construction that actually wraps the face over the top line of the club head. Before the introduction of NexTi, the Around the Crown construction was effectively unattainable in the more forgiving larger head drivers without the risk of the face collapsing. Nike Golf also discovered that by combining NexTi with the Around the Crown construction, it could increase the COR to as high as .890. In the development of the Ignite driver Nike Golf started with club head faces that significantly exceeded the Tour standard of .830 then dialed it back to legal limits rather than starting with a lower COR and building upon it. The result is two models; the Tour conforming Ignite and the Extreme COR Ignite+ which is non-conforming for Tour use.

Nike Ignite 460 Graphite Shaft Driver Review

In our test we found the Nike Ignite 460 driver to be a very competent club. The large head gives plenty of confidence and masses of power and forgiveness. The shape of the head was not as classic as others, but that is just a minor point. Contact was reasonably solid although the sound was a little 'dead' compared to the Ignite 410 and other 460cc drivers. Good offerings in shafts, with the standard Nike shaft coming with a soft tip to get the ball airborne more easily. Overall we think the Nike Ignite 460 driver is right up there with the competition, although not our first choice. But hey, if it's good enough for Tiger...

The Nike Ignite 460 driver is an awesome club. Before buying this club I was slicing my drive a lot. I used it for the first this weekend and I can say with confidence that it has transformed my game. Prior to my purchase I was inconsistent, with my Nike Ignite 460 (10.5 loft, stiff shaft) I am a lot more consistent (still room for improvement) and hitting the ball a further than I imagined I could. I’m very confident that with more use I will be hitting straighter and longer than ever! I can’t recommend this club enough, the feel is good, the sound is head turning and the result is inspiring. The warning I can give is, give more time for the group in front of you to advance before you unleash this club!
