Review: Nike Golf VR Pro Limited Edition Fairway Wood

Written by  Graham Green on Monday, 12 December 2011

We review the newly released Nike Golf VR Pro Limited Edition Fairway Wood, designed to provide shot shaping distance, green-seeking accuracy, and consistent reliability.

 

Every golfer, whether pro or amateur, wants to get the best result possible out of every shot and that's where the VR Pro Limited Edition Fairway Wood comes in. Aimed at those with a mid to low handicap, it promises a lot and from what we can see, it delivers on all levels.

 

Already in the bag of Nike Golf athletes Stephen Ames, Stewart Cink, Simon Dyson, Francesco Molinari, and Tiger Woods, this fairway wood is packed with technology. The tour-driven design of the VR Pro Limited Edition Fairway Wood has a head shape that is slightly pear, with a mid-to-low face height made from 455 stainless steel. This design addresses a golfer's need for great feel and maximum confidence to attack the target from anywhere.

 

Nike Golf has utilised recognisable variable Compression Channel technology to increase speed at more spots on the club face, delivering greater distance on draws, stingers, high cuts, fades or straight bombs. The full-length Compression Channel combined with the variation in the depth of the channel in specific locations, allows you to generate more ball speed which then translates to greater distance.

 

Taking all these features together, this is a fairway wood that doesn't disappoint. It's definitely a step up from the Nike Golf VR Pro Tour Fairway Wood, and this is in no small part thanks to the new MRC Diamana 'Ahina' shaft. This shaft incorporates Mitsubishi Rayon's signature Multi-Dimensional Interlay technology (MDI), which delivers a stiffer mid and tip section than its predecessor. In practice, this results in good energy transfer with excellent stability and control.

 

We a Leaderboard Golf would have no reservations in recommending the Nike VR Pro Limited Edition Fairway Wood. The look at address and the impact sound are both excellent, the increased speed is impressive, and it launches the ball high without adding too much spin.
