I just bought a used vapor speed driver for a steal and it’s the most straight hitting driver I’ve ever owned. Doesn’t quite hit as far but I’ll take accuracy over distance any day.
I am in the camp that says yes if it’s cheap… I had a Vapor Flex driver that was performing insanely for me… I was hitting my straightest and most accurate shots ever…. But then it blew apart at the driving range… into several pieces. The guys at the golf shop weren’t surprised…Nike was always the only brand they wouldn’t warranty. So if your swing speed is slower, and you’re kind to it and maybe don’t hit it a ton? Yes. But if you’re avid or a better player who plays often- no…it might not last. Don’t forget that these are pretty old clubs by now. Adhesives fail, plastics brittle, etc. Other than that, get one for a steal and enjoy it. I still dream of epoxying mine back together and drying it again.
I still love my Nike clubs, my Driver (original 460cc Covert) , 3 & 5 Wood(Vapor Fly - Blue and Volt) 4 Hybrid (Covert 2.0 Tour) and Vrpro Gap wedge are all in great condition. Nike did make some great equipment, imo they tried to hard to keep up with the other sports Nike did, ie football (Soccer) , basketball, Athletics etc. nice video Simon :)
I still have the vapor speed 4 rescue in my bag,been in there for the last 4years, i love it! i will change it one day, but for now its staying and probably for the next 4 years!!
Thanks for watching Guys! Bit more a Vlog style video here let me know what you think!? Also it’s been brought to my attention that it’s not in fact July yet so ignore my dyslexic/ complacent mistake. 👌
The Nike Vapor Speed line when I used it certainly is not the longest hitting out there but I found it to be really accurate and consistent across the face. Did seem to have those mad long lefts or the stinky high and short rights just really consistent :)
Cobra's Baffler DWS hybrids also had a raised stainless steel face. Made it easy to line up and protected the crown from marks. Best hybrids I have ever owned. I liked them so much I collected all 6 (1h thru 6h).
The Vaopr pro, and then the Fly pro were two of the most consistent drivers I've ever had. I was looking forward to the next gen, Vapor strike I think it was, before they pulled the plug. I think it was Tiger's fall that took them down. It's a shame because the last few models were really great. I liked the RZN black balls as well, I played them until last year, when my local source ran out.
Absolutely love my vapor fly pro irons. The 2 iron is a fairway magnet. I have 2 of the vapor speed drivers and they perform within 5% of my Radspeed XB.
I play covert 2.0 irons, vapor fly driver, covert 5 wood, had all their hybrids. Ive also got a set of VR blades, and VR cavity backs. Have nearly every version of covert and vapor driver, fairway and hybrid. Mostly like new. Even the weird method concept putter is kicking around
Hi Simon, sorry for not mentioning they were Speed ! Glad you enjoyed hitting them though! I have a Callaway Rogue for sale if you’re interested. Thanks, Sam
You debate whether to sell or keep these Nike clubs as a potential future collectors item. Could you do a video on what you think will become collectors items in the future and what rare clubs we should be looking out for ?
My VR pro 2 blades and engage wedges are the best I've ever used. I've had vokey wedges, taylormade wedges, scratch wedges and these are the best yet. anyone that bags nike equipment has never played it.
Just put together an entire Nike bag. Vapor Fly irons and Vapor Speed driver and 5 wood. Also got the most Nike putter ever.... The Method Concept. Love whole set. Easy the launch the @#$% out of every shot. Im 53 and need every advantage I can get. Ha!
My Vapor Pro Forged are still in 9/10 condition and they feel like butter, the performance is still great, I don’t think these will ever leave the bag, they’re just too damned sexy
Got a fly pro driver day after nike announced stopping making clubs for £175 new....trying to find a fairway wood an hybrid 19° to match the driver simply impossible to find.....
Off the subject of nike but on the subject of collecting clubs. I have a cobra f7 heritage edition driver in used but good condition. I cant find another for sale online or any info on how many cibra made etc. Do you have any knowledge on this particular model?. Apreciate anh help, keep up the good work 👍
Nearly got the driver for 60 afew months ago but got a new cobra flyz+ for 70 instead. Should of just got it aswell for a collection item. I'm a beginner and haven't hit it yet so don't no weather to sell or keep??
This is very timely! I was able to get a left-handed Nike Vapor Speed display set (a set that featured the full range: Driver w/headcover, 3W w/headcover, 5W w/headcover, 3H w/headcover, 3i-9i, PW, AW, SW. The 5W, 3H and 3i are the same loft so only take one of the 3 out on the course) that I planned on using as I get back into the game and move on from the set of hand-me-down clubs I learned to play with 20 years ago. Might have to put the Nike set in storage and throw the mid-80's MacGregor Jack Nicklaus Golden Bear blades back in the bag (they even have tour wrap grips on them!)
Nike drivers, owned the a few of the cavity ones. I really really wanted them to work.... because you know, Nike. They just don’t perform as well as comparable drivers released in the same year :(
so that explains why i cant find any. I broke my old cobra driver cuz i didnt know how to hit them, now i got a nike one for 40 bucks, and loved them and wanted more, but literally nobody has nike
Just so happens, I bought a set of Nike Covert VRS2.0 irons, 5 - S and Nike Covert VRS2.0 #4 hybrid along with the Nike Vapor driver back in 2016 when I decided to start playing some golf again after retiring and moving to Thailand. I really like the irons, but have trouble with the hybrid and sometimes the driver. I have a question for you. I have an opportunity to purchase a Nike Covert VRS2.0 #5 fairway wood for 2,500 Thai Baht, ($75.00 US). Should I get it and then try to find a Nike Covert VRS2.0 Driver at a decent price and then sell my Nike Vapor driver? Problem is finding a Nike Covert VRS2.0 driver that I can afford. I have found two of them here in Thailand, but they are both priced above $300 US..... Oh yea, like your channel, you've helped me out a few times, thanks.....
Pete Kenny: I got one almost new and I sell it for 100€, if you’re interested. I bought the combo (driver+5wood+5hybrid) in regular last year for my kid, that gained 15mph during summer and in September needed stiff shafts...
Great vid as usual Simon! But I'd like to tell you that the intro music the last couple vids has been WAY too loud! I have to turn it almost all the way down to prevent ear damage (both with and without headphones) and then back up once you start talking.
Am I the only one who read the beginning “Nike Woods” as “Tiger Woods” lol my brain is just so tired these days, but Woods , and Golf, and Nike are all Synonymous if you ask me
I had the honor of getting a full set made at Nike hq by Kyle freeman and his team, not a chance in hell I’m just gonna let them sit around or sell them
Hi Simon, you anywhere near Poole, someone is selling a fully working Stewart trolley for £75 on Gumtree. Just a thought for your 2nd hand golf business.
I don't see the mentality of selling the clubs before you upload the video when you have a core following of people that would probably want to buy these clubs. I know you say you would like to do it without the help of your channel but honestly isn't that what the channel is about? Marketing your products and services and helping people that support you?

Christ, on the range for 05:30. Definitely putting in the graft, fair play Simon. Great insight.
I have two Nike VSr Drivers that are so easy to hit. I also have a 2014 Pro Combos, and Vrs Covert 2 forged. All great clubs. All in great condition.
I still love my Nike clubs, my Driver (original 460cc Covert) , 3 & 5 Wood(Vapor Fly - Blue and Volt) 4 Hybrid (Covert 2.0 Tour) and Vrpro Gap wedge are all in great condition.

Nike blades are some of the best irons I have shanked that's for sure haha
Best hosel’s out there 👌
He had us in the first half not gonna lie
This made me actually laugh out loud. I feel your pain ma dude.
I still have the vapor speed 4 rescue in my bag,been in there for the last 4years, i love it! i will change it one day, but for now its staying and probably for the next 4 years!!

The Nike Vapor Speed line when I used it certainly is not the longest hitting out there but I found it to be really accurate and consistent across the face. Did seem to have those mad long lefts or the stinky high and short rights just really consistent :)
I'm still rocking Nike CPR Irons and Nike VRS Covert 2.0 Hybrids and Woods.
Cobra's Baffler DWS hybrids also had a raised stainless steel face. Made it easy to line up and protected the crown from marks. Best hybrids I have ever owned. I liked them so much I collected all 6 (1h thru 6h).

The FACE that changed your world bro; way kool to see her cameo.
NIKE clubs ya say...interesting.
✌
I have the Nike Covert driver and 3-PW VR pro combo in mint condition. Will be rocking these for a good while
I have a vapor pro and vapor fly irons. As well as a covert hybrid absolutely love them.
You debate whether to sell or keep these Nike clubs as a potential future collectors item. Could you do a video on what you think will become collectors items in the future and what rare clubs we should be looking out for ?
Just picked up a set of mint Vapor Fly irons for 300 dollars!
My VR pro 2 blades and engage wedges are the best I've ever used. I've had vokey wedges, taylormade wedges, scratch wedges and these are the best yet. anyone that bags nike equipment has never played it.
I love my Nike vapor fly clubs. Wish I had the pros too
Really liked the Nike Flex (black one). Good driver, diamana blueboard.
Just put together an entire Nike bag. Vapor Fly irons and Vapor Speed driver and 5 wood. Also got the most Nike putter ever.... The Method Concept. Love whole set. Easy the launch the @#$% out of every shot. Im 53 and need every advantage I can get. Ha!
My word I was looking the other night at Nike golf clubs particularly the old pro combos wow they are expensive
Simon being Simon... Honest opinion as always👍👍
My Vapor Pro Forged are still in 9/10 condition and they feel like butter, the performance is still great, I don’t think these will ever leave the bag, they’re just too damned sexy
I always liked Nike clubs. Loved the designs and colours aswell
I've still got the Nike ignite driver, still a good club for me
Got a Nike VR Tour driver in the cupboard, and I game a set of Nike VR TW blades 👌
I play with these blades also great clubs bought a refurbished set in black look as good as they hit
I have vapor fly pros, fairly new to golf and i love them
How much did you pay for your whole set?
@@SquareSelect1 around 500 cad, just when they stopped making nike clubs
Got a fly pro driver day after nike announced stopping making clubs for £175 new....trying to find a fairway wood an hybrid 19° to match the driver simply impossible to find.....
Used to game a Nike VR tour diver, great club.
Tour wrap grips - when wet are a nightmare rain glove or not.
right. frankly even a nightmare on a hot humid day here on the east coast of the USA
I still have the vr forged cavity back irons and theyre awesome. Nike made some good clubs just not great drivers imo
I still use my Nike hybrid 3. It’s not the longest but I can shape it easy
Nearly bought a Nike Vapor speed but bailed because it had A-flex Shaft. Not sure if I made the right decision.
Had nike vapor flys all vapor clubs launch high
Off the subject of nike but on the subject of collecting clubs. I have a cobra f7 heritage edition driver in used but good condition.

HS anyone used the green Nike slingshot 4D’s?
Nearly got the driver for 60 afew months ago but got a new cobra flyz+ for 70 instead. Should of just got it aswell for a collection item. I'm a beginner and haven't hit it yet so don't no weather to sell or keep??

Did you mean 20th June not July at 0:35?
Found a set of brand new Nike Vapor Pro irons for $1000 aud or 550 Pounds. Reckon it would be worth grabbing them to try resell in a few years?
Nike drivers, owned the a few of the cavity ones. I really really wanted them to work.... because you know, Nike. They just don’t perform as well as comparable drivers released in the same year :(
Nike made some awesome stuff at the end of their run :/ also Simon get an old electric toothbrush for your cleaning ;)
Saturday 20th July??
so that explains why i cant find any. I broke my old cobra driver cuz i didnt know how to hit them, now i got a nike one for 40 bucks, and loved them and wanted more, but literally nobody has nike
Prcie has doubled since !!
Where do you get your packing boxes from and who do you post with?

Hard to come buy now tbh.. was looking for a 5 wood
Pete Kenny: I got one almost new and I sell it for 100€, if you’re interested.
I bought the combo (driver+5wood+5hybrid) in regular last year for my kid, that gained 15mph during summer and in September needed stiff shafts...
I have just bought this driver and the 3wood off my mate for £100
Great vid as usual Simon! But I'd like to tell you that the intro music the last couple vids has been WAY too loud! I have to turn it almost all the way down to prevent ear damage (both with and without headphones) and then back up once you start talking.
Am I the only one who read the beginning
“Nike Woods” as “Tiger Woods” lol my brain is just so tired these days, but Woods , and Golf, and Nike are all Synonymous if you ask me
I just bought the Vapor Fly and the Vapor Speed ALL VOLT...guess how much I paid.
I just sold my Vapor volt driver for £40. Hated it!
July?
I had the honor of getting a full set made at Nike hq by Kyle freeman and his team, not a chance in hell I’m just gonna let them sit around or sell them
Just got this driver at a used shop for 45$ !
I have a vr pro ltd edition 5 wood, nice club but not necessarily a gamer
Hi Simon I appear to have lost a month. Unless you put the wrong date on the start of your video
Haha 😂 well that’s embarrassing
SAS Golf it’s been a long year already though 😂
To be fair Simon with this lock down rubbish I don't know what day it is normally.
Saturday 20th July?! Time travel is a thing! Simon they're speed not pro's take a little bit off your quote for your future self :)
Yeah ironically rushed into the quote just like I did with my dates for this video 😅
After that review I think I will go ping 👍
Hi Simon, you anywhere near Poole, someone is selling a fully working Stewart trolley for £75 on Gumtree. Just a thought for your 2nd hand golf business.
i had a vapor flex and it sucked, crap distance compared to other brands
I now feel like less of a psycho for cleaning my clubs with a toothbrush
Taylormade R7 Draw
I think Nike have the sexiest clubs if ur not afraid to stray from dark colours
I would agree with that completely mate.
Nike is pronounced "Nikey" 👍
Just hoping you say this driver is out dated so I can shop for a new one lmao
The second hand Nike bags are worth a bomb and go for stupid money
Oh really, il have to keep an eye out for those in the future. 👀
There's a reason why Nike gave up making clubs (whisper it quietly - they weren't good enough).
Good review - but you rocking back and forth when you speak is disorientating lol
Does your wife know you used her toothbrush? Best to keep it quiet.
I don't see the mentality of selling the clubs before you upload the video when you have a core following of people that would probably want to buy these clubs.
I know you say you would like to do it without the help of your channel but honestly isn't that what the channel is about? Marketing your products and services and helping people that support you?
Drivers right up their with one of the ugliest clubs I’ve ever seen. Looks like it’s made of cheap plastic
"Ni-key" not "Nike" 👌👍
Da fuk is noik
