NIKE VR_S COVERT

What Nike says:

Nike Golf’s most innovative club to date, the Nike VR_S Covert driver delivers unprecedented distance, control and forgiveness with the first-ever conforming high-speed cavity back design. High-speed cavity back technology delivers longer and straighter shots. Utilised in drivers for the first time, this technology positions the weight at the heel and toe to enhance forgiveness and add even more distance to off-centre shots. The result is more stability at impact for greater distance and control.

The FlexLoft adjustability system allows you to independently choose your loft and face angle to fit your swing and maximise distance. This easy-to-use system offers 15 different options in one club to meet the demands of various swings and course conditions. NexCOR Face Technology produces faster, longer shots across a wider area of the face. With a hot zone that’s 45 percent larger, NexCOR creates more speed at impact with a variable face thickness that moves the sweet spot higher – from the heel of the club to the centre high – where impact is most likely.

Who plays it: Rory McIlroy (pictured), Nick Watney, Kyle Stanley, Ross Fisher, Thorbjorn Olesen, Francesco Molinari.

RRP: $350 (Performance model), $500 (Tour model)
