The Nike VR STR8-FIT Tour driver is part of the successful Victory Red (VR) range and is one of the most impressive performers in the premium adjustable golf driver market. The VR STR8-FIT Tour features a brand new shape that has been designed in cooperation with Nike Golf’s highly successful stable of tour professionals. Aimed at keen, skilled golfers the STR8-FIT Tour offers all the adjustability and performance that Nike’s professional golfers enjoy.
Nike’s highly successful STR8-FIT Face Angle Technology – already an award winning innovation – has been introduced into the Victory Red range for the first time to allow golfers the chance to select their shop shape and dictate the look of their driver. With 32 different face angles the VR STR8-FIT Tour provides the best golfers with maximum workability and confidence on every tee.
The Nike VR STR8-FIT Tour golf driver has a refined and classic appearance which helps to deliver low spin rates and a more penetrating ball flight. A distinctive red Compression Channel runs from heel to toe on the sole of the club and helps to increase the compression of the body to produce higher ball speeds on even off centre hits. This means the VR STR8-FIT Tour offers forgiveness on those off centre hits that even the best players sometime fall foul of.
The Nike VR STR8-FIT Tour driver offers the skilled golfers the chance to enjoy the full variety of Nike’s award winning adjustable drivers in a traditional and elegant premium driver package.
Average rating for this product from 3 reviews
The Nike VR STR8-Fit Tour driver is one of the best looking drivers Nike have produced so far and the classically styled head at address looks great. The silver 'crescent' that was on the back of the club head has thankfully gone, but the design feature is subtly still there through small ridge acrros the back of the head, which we think is very clever. The styling all round looks very aggressive so we were expecting great things when we put the club into action.
The performance of the club was pretty good and the STR8-Fit system allows you to adjust the angle of the head at impact. The wrench is not the easist thing in the world to use, but the beep when you tighten it up is fun. There are a lot of options and it is not particularly intuitive but once you understand what change will achive the flight you want, the club does deliver, although we would have to say it is quite subtle.
This is a very competent club but it is let down by the sound at impact, which is back to the high pitched crash that early Nike drivers had. Maybe this is intentional, but there are several drivers around that sound better and and even though the Nike VR STR8-Fit Tour driver has the advantage of being adjustable, this may not be enough to make up for the sound in a very competitive sector.
