Nike has done a
great job dialing in
the balance and
feel
despite the use of the
lighter shaft
. The
thing I noticed was
that I was able to
maintain club and
ball speed without as much effort, particularly
later in my testing sessions. Something that
I saw clearly in my launch monitor testing
was the higher launch angle due to the RZN
construction.
The forgiveness on mishits is exactly what
I expected from an iron designed for better
players. The Vapor Fly Pros do a very
good
job boosting thin
shots into the air
,
but you will still see
a drop in distance.
Shots on the heel
and
toe
aren’t
painfully short, but
they won’t end up
pin high either. There is solid forgiveness
here, but these clubs are not designed for the
20-handicapper.
The
Nike Vapor Fly Pro irons
can absolutely
compete with any iron in their category
. As
with any piece of equipment, fitting is critical
and lower handicap players should definitely
give them a try.
