#THERESALWAYSBETTER
Nike Golf has been in the golf industry for a while now and
while they’ve always had a good stable of professionals
and quality clubs, they believe that they can keep doing
better. That is why
they
are
using
#TheresAlwaysBetter
campaign. It really is
true of any company
and every golfer, no
one is playing 18 holes
only hitting 18 shots,
when that happens
there is no better,
until then, there are
improvements to be
made. The Nike Vapor
Pro Combo irons are better than previous editions. This line
of clubs have been one of my favourite since they first came
out almost 10 years ago, and they just keep on improving.
Many will obviously gravitate to the new colour, Volt. It is
Nike right now, not just in golf, but in all of their branding.
Once you get past the colour, which actually looks really
sharp in person, you can start seeing the details that

make this set so good. The changes are to both the looks
and the performance. The new weighting is key to the
balance and feel of the clubs, and the new sole grind is
really the secret to
better turf interaction.
A similar head shape
and forged feel keep
these very much in line
with past Pro Combo
Irons.
The new weighting
is across the board of
the Vapor series. The
back weight looks V
like with more on the
edges, specifically more
weight out towards the toe. I’ve talked about this before
in previous reviews, but moving the centre of Gravity (CG)
to the dead center of the face is a really good thing. It
really helps create solid contact and when center contact
is made it feel so pure. Every iron in the Vapor Pro Combo
set has some shift in weight toward the toe. Obviously it is
different in the long irons compared to the short irons, but
manipulating the CG is an improvement.
