Nike Golf engineers and designers
obsess over every tenth of a millimetre
and every degree of launch angle.
The new Vapor Fly series, designed to
provide an overall higher launch angle, is
the culmination of years of diligent study.
“As we’ve learned more and more about
golf athletes while researching advanced
materials and evolving manufacturing
technologies, we’ve verified that if we can
launch the ball higher while managing
spin, it will ultimately fly farther,” says
Nate Radcliffe, Nike Golf Director of
Engineering. “We’ve found ways to
accomplish that in our entire 2016 line,
from the drivers to the long irons. We are
using innovative designs that consider
mass distribution, tuned compliance and
stiffness to help the ball consistently fly
high and long.”
