Nike: nai-key
Nike chairman Phillip Knight confirmed the official pronunciation of the sportswear brand in a letter in 2014 after two fans asked him to circle the correct phonetic spelling of the word. The company name was inspired by Nike, the Greek goddess of victory.
I thought he was joking with it at first... unwatchable
Came here to say the same. My buddy is a Geordie (Newcastle) and he too pronounces it wrong. Even if I were to subscribe to the idea it's a Greek God, that is pronounced Nee-Kay. So why do the Brits insist on mispronouncing the brand name or the Greek God? It's worth noting the British accent basically didn't exist until 1790. While it took decades to develop, I have to believe American independence in 1776 accelerated that. Do Brits insist on mispronouncing Nike because like their accent it's about having a chip on their shoulders about the Yanks?
A couple years ago when I started playing golf, I tracked down and purchased a set of Nike Vapor Fly irons (4-AW), a Nike Vapor Pro driver, and a Nike Covert 3-Wood. And I even have a Nike MethodCore putter! I LOVE these clubs! There were in brand new condition when I bought them and I've kept them clean. They're still working great for me!
If Nike sold golf clubs again they would kill it. A lot of the later nike clubs are still in bags and still incredible clubs. They're cult classics at this point
100 percent! I would be straight over
Vr forged combo maybe the syftet ever made.
To pick the best Nike-driver should be close beteende str8 and Covert 2.0😊
Still gaming my VR cavity back irons!! 🏌🏻⛳️
I still use the Nike NDS Clubs (Fujikura)
I still game the VRS covert 2.0 forged irons. Haven't hit anything to turn me away from them
I was a Nike staff professional. I still use VR Forged irons. I always felt like Nike's irons were more forgiving than other brands irons of similar shape and material at the time. Now, there are so many irons on the market that should be able to beat them and I will probably change soon. Nike's equipment was never the longest and I think that hurt them with the recreation player. Meanwhile, the more serious golfers were put off by some of the quirky technology Nike used.
They are a mizuno that’s why
I love my vr split cavity forged irons.
Funny I stumbled on this video. I STILL TO THIS DAY, rock my Nike NDS irons my dad bought me almost 18 years ago. So incredibly forgiving and still hits pure to this day. I’m about to finally upgrade to newer technology but I still use them until the new irons are in the bag. Absolutely love them
I've got a Vaporfly driver in the bag right now that I really enjoy. I've been on a pretty tight budget for clubs and found that one on FB marketplace for $50 with a Nike wedge thrown in as well. Ended up selling the wedge for something like $25 so the driver really only cost me about $25 at the end of the day. I still find it to have pretty solid distance for me as someone who isn't a particularly great golfer. It's decently forgiving as well which I like. I also think the colorway of that bright blue with the neon yellow/green looks amazing to me.
I've also not really played any of them, but I have heard that the Nike square drivers and woods are remarkably forgiving and great for beginners so long as you don't mind the sound of the driver. I also believe the SQ and Machspeed irons are supposed to be pretty great budget-ish irons.
I absolutely love the fact that you made this video… I am an avid Nike golf collector and I have 7 sets of irons still like new because I don’t play them and only collect them now. I have 5 Nike drivers 9 Nike fairway woods and 4 Nike hybrids and also 8 Nike putters and also have 6 Nike staff bags brand new with tags never used! My Nike golf collection is one of the best out there! I would 100% start playing Nike again if they started making clubs again! They were 100% as good as top brands and any idiot saying they weren’t clearly never played them! Cheers mate ⛳️🙂🤙🏼
I believe that Nike's issue was that there profit margin was not great as they were getting the equipment made for them by other companies. The balls were made by Bridgestone. If they came back they would really need to spend millions on setting up a factory to produce there own clubs
Incorrect. Balls Bridgestone, yes, but Nike's clubs were theirs. They basically took on the old Hogan brand team and did their own R&D, design, marketing, etc. Their downfall is likely most related to their insistence on their own deployment strategy. By the time Nike entered the market, the release calendar had accelerated to the pace we see it today. Taylor Made is a good example of how often they release new equipment and when they release it. Nike believed being the sporting behemoth they were they didn't need to adhere to the same calendar. They were wrong. It resulted in negative reviews and commentary by the golf establishment and even Tiger wasn't enough to fight the blue bloods of golf.
I use the Nike Method putter and a 4 wood. I have two other Nike putters, 2 fairway woods, and two drivers (Covert 2.0 and Sumo Squared). Loved the Sumo driver. I also use the RZN golf balls (durable and affordable). When I get rid of my many other sets of irons, I would get Titleist irons (first choice) or Nike irons (second choice). I don't understand why they stopped making clubs. They were doing well.
Still have all my old Nike clubs still play the wedges and the method 01 putter. Have u seen the dual sole tw- 56 TaylorMade it's is so close to my vr dual sole
I bought a full Nike set of SQ irons and the Machspeed Sasquatch driver. I still use the irons to this day and love them! Recently upgraded my driver to a 4 year old Srixon.
I also use an everclear Nike putter and Covert 3 wood
Love this video. I actually just bought Nike Pro combo set off eBay here in the states and love them. Really good condition and 3-PW for under $200. Feel great and love the look.
I had the OG SQ driver, the square SQ 5900, the SQ Dymo sq driver, covert & covert 2 driver, vapor speed driver, vapor fly driver, vapor fly 4 iron, a few different style of method putters, ignite balls, one black, and lastly rzn black balls. I’m sure I’m forgetting lots of others….Yep…was a major fanboy. Will still take the vapor fly driver out from time to time. Really appreciate the vid guys. Was a fun trip down memory lane.
Currently playing Vrs 2.0 full set and love the look and feel of
As an ex-employee who worked there when the decision to shutter equipment (clubs and balls) was made - it was 100% due to low margins in equipment. The Operating Profit was WAY too low to continue.
I currently use nike VR irons as my permanent set of irons and have a nike method core, i love them both so much, they feel so pure, and when i went to a fitting, i could not hit any other clubs better than the ones i already have, only thing we changed was my lob wedge to a mizuno.
I had the Nike Vapor Speed driver until last year and it was great. Upgraded to a Callaway Rogue ST, but that Nike driver served me really well for a long time.
I still play with McGregor Irons and Nike SQ Woods (hybrid/5 & 3 wood) with a Nike putter. When I can play consistently with those I might change but better to spend £££ on lessons and range balls! Paul Casey was promoting these on the old Golf channel in the UK and got the SQ driver and 60deg with 24 balls for about £100.....those were the days!
Currently own 3-PW Nike NDS irons. Don’t game them anymore, as I was gifted a set of Wilson D9s but sometimes when I’m feeling cheeky, they’ll get thrown in the bag.
Also found a set of VRS Covert 2.0 irons 4-pw and an Odyssey white hot 7 putter for $350 today at a pawnshop.
When I was in high school Nike clubs were all the rage but I didn’t play golf then. I recently picked up some Nike Vapor Speed irons for my brother and I am very impressed with how much distance you get and how easy it is to get it in the air. Not to mention the solid sound while striking the ball.
when i first started my career in golf back in 2010 as a first assistant club pro, i was able to get on staff with nike fairly soon after i started. up until that point, i had never played with a single piece of nike equipment. i was a mizuno irons, callaway woods, vokey wedges guy growing up as a kid and through high school and college. i was pleasantly surprised when i went through my original fitting with my regional rep. at first it wasnt easy looking at a full bag of nike clubs after playing with virtually one brand my whole life. i stayed on with them up until 2016 when they decided to move on from making equipment and eventually went on staff with taylormade/adidas. one thing i will say about being on staff with nike, they DEF treated their staff pro's the right way. i got anything and everything i wanted under the sun. all new clothes (6+ pairs of pants, 10+ shirts, rain gear), shoes (4 pairs) , balls (like 30 boxes of balls), all weather gloves (10 packs), staff bag and of course equipment EVERY year. i eventually started giving clubs and clothes and bags away because i just had so much of everything 🤣. i got out of the golf business in 2018. i went back to playing my vapor pro combo irons after i got out and im still playing with them and ill bust out the original taylormade p770 every once in a while!
I still play the Nike Ignite irons that I used in high school 10 years ago. They may not be the longest irons when compared to modern day, but they’re forgiving and consistent. I even still use my Nike bag to this day
My first purchased set of irons was Nike ignite. 4 thru PW. Loved them and still have them. Going to bring them out for a round now. 😊
Just rebought a vr 56 degree wedge this summer cuz it was my favorite of all time. Paid 50 for it and I’m so happy I did. I wish I still had my vr blades.
I am still using Nike Covert VRS irons, 5W, 3W with a TaylorMade SLDR 460 and Nike Bag. All old school and still works for me ..
It was simple, Nike we’re not making a return on investment, and found the clothing gave a better return. They had to please the share holders. They made really good golf clubs I sold these but I have to say they were a hard sell vs Ping, Taylor made etc even with the top players. I had the first blade and they were amazing also the SQ driver I loved mine. Keep up the great videos 👏👏
I have a 1st Gen (T40) Driver and 3 wood. I got the driver from a friend who couldn't hit it. The 3 wood was purchased new from a Nike employee (discount!!).
The 3 wood is my go to club when my swing is off.
I've worn the grips off them multiple times. Yes, they are still in the bag.
I played a set of Nike VR-S Covert 2 forged irons and I loved them. The irons were pretty forgiving and felt amazing... regret trading them on a set of single length- that didn't work out. I also played the Nike PD-Soft balls, which I really liked, as well.
I had a full set of Nik3 Covert Driver, Fairways, Hybrids, irons and putter. Sold them off as I was selected to test Cobra clubs.
I was having a problem with low ball flight with driver as I messed with my swing too much. Stumbled onto the Nike Sq sweet 16 got me back in the game. Have now developed a Nike addiction and just purchased the Nike VRii pro Combo irons and a Nike bag.
Have sorted my launch now so playing much better. Will be nice to pull a full Nike set in some competitions this season coming can’t wait.
Should definitely do this with Adams golf clubs. Another fantastic club maker and very important to the current state of the hybrid market. Can pick them up for an absolute bargain and they are just as good as clubs today.
Consider it done!
StackedGolf has always preached to people about how good Adams Golf clubs are! I do not think they got the recognition they deserved!
They made the best hybrids by far, that’s why TM bought them out. Great idea @jackiemoon
Just swapped out my Nike slingshot 4D iron set but still game the Vapor Pro driver, Vapor Flex 3 FW & 3H and also game the Nike OZ1 putter, which is the only Nike club i don’t plan on replacing :)
I had a Nike driver which I bought off eBay about 20 yrs ago. I sold it to my mate mid-round for €50 & he had it until last year when it finally snapped!
He was a lot better with it than me. 😂
I have used a Nike VR-S Covert driver for years. My friends keep buying new drivers and they hit good at first and they sell them quickly. I try their new ones but the ball pops off my club fast and hits straight most of the time...LOL.
Remember my Dad and I using a lot of Nike clubs back in the day. Had the original Covert Driver and 3 wood that I used from when I was 16 up until a couple months ago when I upgraded my driver and my 3 wood broke during a round. The Covert putters I really liked and considered back then until I got my Oddysey ProType that I use to this day. Also enjoyed the balls Nike sold and used them all the time. Still crazy they got out of the game.
For 18months I have played Nike Vaporspeed irons, my daughter has played Covert irons. Both sets are graphite shaft. We are mid-handicappers and these clubs have helped knock 6-8 shots of our hc in the last year. So easy to hit, start making clubs again Nike. 😊
I have used vR irons ,covert irons,sQ irons ,slingshot irons ,ignite irons.
Still use today 2 and 3 square hybrids and still have my Covert driver and Square SQ driver.They we’re great clubs and wish they would make them again .
I still miss my SQ sumo 2 square driver .
Had covert driver, vrs 3 wood & hybrid & vrs forged irons - when I upgraded the irons my club fitter checked the l&l & swing weight and they were all over place
Nike irons were always pretty good. I had the first run of the pro combos and i had them in the bag until 2019. I loved the Vapor driver too but it was lacking on some of the forgiveness compared to the Taylor Made M series drivers
I currently have an almost full set of the Nike Vapor Speed clubs and they are SO good for my high handicap. Super forgiving.
I had the Nike slingshot irons and they were very forgiving! They should try to make a come back and target the average golfer market!
Took my stunning looking Nike V forged blades out of the bag last year and put some new P790s in. The Nikes are back in now. I’d rather shoot a couple of shots more per game and have the sound and feel of the ball fizzing off the blade, than an unsatisfying feel of the P790s. I’m not playing for my mortgage, so why not play a set of irons that you have to work harder at, but bring so much reward when you catch the sweet spot
I've still got nike cci irons in the bag. Bought them 17 years ago, only actually took up golf two years ago, but I love them.
It wasn’t really the sales that kicked them out of the equipment side, it was the cost of research and development that shallowed that bottom line. Margins were thinner, and an already saturated market made it tougher to compete.
Still own 3 Nike 5900 sq drivers as well as a TM M5. If I play a course that needs driver shaping then I will choose the Sumo every time as it's much easier than using twist face tech. Still flies just as far as the newer drivers as well but you do need to ignore the look and the sound.
While Nike pulled out, people from Nike started two separate companies, Teton Golf and Autopilot Golf. You can really see the Nike DNA in the Autopilot clubs. Autopilot is probably most famous for the Square Strike Wedge. The Teton clubs are good too, super high quality and best know for their driving hybrids.
I have a set of Nike Vrs Forged irons. I gave them to my son to use because I switched from Right hand to Left handed clubs. I continue to look for them in Lefty. If I find a set of vapor fly, I'll buy them.
The vapor driver and 3 wood the blue and yellow and the black and green looked awesome!! The market on them has become a cult fallowing it's hard to touch one without over paying!!!
I still game Nike pro combo irons and the SasQuatch Sumo2 SQ driver. Love the irons and the driver rings out brilliantly throughout the whole course. However, I can't bring myself to hit the driver on the range due to the noise.
Back in the Day I gamed the Nike NDS (Nike Distance Series) irons and the Nike Squared Sumo Driver. That thing has such a loud distinct noise when hit!!!
I had a set of Slingshot irons and a Vapor Pro driver for a few years. I just think Nike are simply a money making business and took a business decision rather than pumping money into golf to try and improve it. It's all about the $$$ for Nike
I'm really late viewing these but I love the addition of the drone.
Thanks buddy appreciate it
I have a 56deg Nike wedge that I still use today I purchased a Callaway to replace it and prefer the Nike just has a lighter shaft and weight is easier to hit
My first clubs back in 2006 were Nike Slingshots. I still got them. And the bag I bought is better than anything you can buy today under $300
Just scored a deal on some Nike vapor fly irons 4-9 pw & aw.. by far one of the best clubs I have ever hit… also snagged a vapor flex driver.. it too is literally amazing.. I would so buy nikes new clubs if they came back.. they have always been advanced and ahead of the game… hence why they are so successful with EVERYTHING!
Had a Covert driver prior to getting my Ping Driver. Hit it ok but gained 20yds when I switched. Had the Nike Covert 3 wood and hated it! Never could hit it well. Did a Ping 3 wood when I bought my driver and love it! If Nike jumped back in to clubs I would never consider them.
Recently visited the UK and managed to squeeze in a round of golf. Had to hire clubs and they gave me the square headed SQ driver. Loudest club I’ve ever hit but didn’t miss a fairway(not my usual spray effect).
I have the yellow ones, a full set Driver down to putter and 52 56 60 wedges.
I started playing 10 years ago and bought them from my brother for $450 as my first set.
I wasnt good enough back then to care about getting a fitting, but now i really want to get fitted propely for a set. The reason i have never gone, is because Nike doesnt makes clubs anymore.
I dont want another set, i dont want to give up my set; if Nike ever got back into golf, i would immediately be getting a fitting and replacements.
i play (i believe 2012) nike Vrs NEX Core irons. I believe they are Vrs Covert, but they are the lower price assistance irons with cavity backs. I love them. I could probably use a groove sharpening, but I still do well with them and love them. I also loved and played with the PD Soft ball untill about 2020 when I finally couldn't find them anymore. Feel and performance for the price was great.
I've had my Nike vrs clubs for about 10 years now and I love the way they feel
I won a National tournament using Nike vapor irons. There was a Tayloremade rep there that was trashing Nike equipment. I made sure I made it to his tent with my trophy. Been thinking of getting another set, it was some of the best golf I ever played
Had the blue 400cc 8.5 degree stiff flex driver before, still using my SQ str8-fit 10.5 degree reg. flex today. Sounds like a cannon it's so loud.
I had original slingshots for over 10 years,broke 80 twice,had ignite driver,snapped shaft, was fitted for sumo Sq,used that for a while ,currently have a covert driver. Had vrs irons,dad now had them,but loved em,also had the Nike flypro,couldn't hit them ,sold em. Now have calaway mavrik,and flash woods. I currently have rzn balls. YOUR right ,Nike one blacks were the best. My dad still has Nike one golds,lol. I couldn't hit the platinum (tigers ball) I've compared the new drivers with my covert,and very little difference. Main difference is new ones way more forgiving. I think Nike would kill it ,if they returned. GREST VIDEO GUYS.
I’m only a year or so into playing, but my first driver was a Nike SQ machspeed black and I absolutely loved it, I had so much confidence in it, unfortunately it snapped at the collar one round and now I’m getting to grips with a taylormade SIM
I imported 2 Nike blue chip putters into the UK before they were on sale here just because I loved the look of them and back then I was young and loved the "cool" factor of playing Nike. They were really good putters to be honest, I got the BC 101(newport style, and the BC OZ(cool hollow mallet design) and I still have them today although I dont use them :D
My current bag...
Nike Vapor Fly:
* Pro Driver
* 3 Metal
* 5 Metal
* 4 - SW Irons
* VR Pro 60⁰ Dual Sole Wedge
Im still playing a nearly full nike bag.
Vapor fly pro woods, vapor fly hybrid, vapor fly pro irons (not the blades).
Retrofit to todays shaft options. Still love them.
I currently still play covert irons, I also have a covert driver and hybrids and the original SQ as well. I won’t get rid of them.
When I first started to learn and play golf, the set I had was the Nike Ignite Irons set that came with a 3 Hybrid. Woods were used Cobras to learn and I splurged on a Scotty Putter that I have to this day. I always liked Nike Clubs and Balls and hope one day they decide to come back into the equipment market
I have a full set of vr pro irons and wedges, vr pro hybrid, vrs driver, vrs fairway wood, and a everclear e11 putter. Bought them 2nd hand and have been olaying them since 2015. Absolutely love them!
I currently play nike vr pro cavity irons, with a method core mci3 putter, vr str8fit 3 wood, vrpro 3H, and I have a broken vrpro str8fit 9.5° driver. I love my set, they're like my children. For the first time in years I'm golfing alot again and I'm so glad I invested in these nearly 13 years ago.
I'm still playing the Nike VR-S Covert 2.0 Forged irons to this day. I'll never get rid of them that's for sure! Soft as butter, good distance and plenty forgiving.
I still have the Vapor 4 hybrid in my bag, most reliable club I have.
Had the SQ machspeed black str8 driver as well and would take it back in a heartbeat
I still have a set of Nike machspeed irons, only stopped using them in 2019 when I bought some Mizuno JPX 919 irons. Also had a Black and Green Vapor driver. Gave my brother a method putter he still uses
I use a Nike Covert 2.0 driver. I’m new to golf only been playing for 6 months. I’m just now getting to where I don’t hit a huge slice with it every time.
my first set of irons in 2020 were the pro combo irons and I loved them don't think they helped my game much but did love them
I’m still playing my Nike VR Reds and still love my Nike Everclear putter. I actually have some Nike Mojo balls in my collection. I played Nile clubs because that’s what Tiger played. Whatever he had, I wanted.
I still use nike clubs so underrated when they stopped every other manufacturer chambered to buy their plans and blueprints you look at most clubs nowadays and they all harp back to the vapor release of clubs they were miles ahead of the rest in new ideas to the market
Yes, I had a full set of Nike Covert driver and fairways plus Nike VR irons. Also had Nike Method Core Drone putter.
I switched from a complete TM bag to Nike Vapor Fly irons and absolutely love them
I still use the vapor pro driver, same rubber grip (like an eel when it’s wet) but can keep up with everything on a good day. Not as forgiving as the g430 I recently tested though !
My budy still plays with his nike set and his driver was starting to break at the addapter so I picked up a great nike vapor speed driver for him the blue and volt color way with a stiff tensei shaft and it's an amazing driver. Hit it the same as my sim2 max d driver I have .easy to hit and goes a long ways
I use the Nike unitized putter and still like it even though it looks massive next to any other putter. If you ever want to try it, I play at Outlane in Huddersfield so not far from you if still round here
I actually game Nike irons, it’s my dads set. Just picked up golf in May and I think they’re great and very forgiving. Also one of the best looking irons I’ve ever seen. Just ordered a set of takomo 101Ts for myself but still waiting on them to ship. I wonder if it will really make a difference I’m sure Nike irons were fine
I love NIKE as a brand. So when I first got into golf I went NIKE. I have Pro Combo irons. Still. The SQ Driver. 2 VR drivers. 2 Covert Drives. VR wedges and a Method putter. Just recently brought the irons back out to lay. But to old now and to slow a swing speed. Haha.
I use the Nike Vapor Fly complete set. I won the medal last week with them. Also have the complete Covert woods set. Won’t be changing anytime soon.
I have a complete set of Nike SQ Machspeed 3-AW irons and 1,3,5 woods bought back in 2006. Had them regripped 3 times and still use them. Looking for a new set of Ping G710’s, but I’ll be keeping the Nikes. Interested to see the technology advances after 18yrs.
You missed out on not trying the putters! Got x4 of the unitized range, the retro is pure blade and amazing, a anser style method and the RORS origin....all fantastic
I have a st of Nike Ignite irons with Covert driver, 4 wood and hybrid. Very nice but they are not with me in New Jersey - they are my 3rd set (I'm a collector and have an issue with clubs -especially putters) and keep this set at my son's home in Nashville Tennessee for when I visit (15 hour drive)
My wife switched from a Callaway Gems ladies Big Bertha driver to a Nike Sasquatch and it has changed her game in distance & forgiveness. I would buy Nike if they came back.
I had a set of Slingshot OSS irons and gave them to my son and he has played his best golf since switching to them.
Bought vr split back irons a few years back and still use them. Don’t need to change any time soon. Got a Nike IC2 putter from one of my friends and its the best I’ve ever used. Good clubs. Not sure if they could get back in the game now without some massive investment. And I can’t see them doing that any time soon.
All but 3 of my clubs currently in my bag are Nike clubs( new in 2009). I have hit other brands but nothing feels as good as my Nike's. The Driver (SQ Dynamo round head with adjustable hossle) was so loud, when you hit a good ball everyone on the course knew it. I would buy a new set of Nike's right now if they were to make clubs again.
Yes had a VR-S covert 5 wood and it was pure magic straight and consistent so much that I just bought another one12 years later…
I still have a sumo sq driver, a covert vrs driver, a vapor fly driver, a set of vrs cavity back irons and a nike method core drone 2.o putter. Until this year I still hit the irons and vapor fly driver
I have and still play with a full nike set, slingshot irons , SQ driver and a nike putter. They still do the job.
I bought the last three sets of Nike golf clubs before they stopped selling them. I am playing tomorrow with my Vapor speed set.😊
I still game the original blades with xflex shafts 3-pw, playing of plus 1, only recently changed my driver away from the nike vapour. Great clubs
I’m still playing slingshot irons. I’ve tried to upgrade a couple times but always come back to them
Still got and use the Nike Method putter.
I have a SQ Sumo driver and a covert vrs 5 wood. Used to love the design and look more than anything else
