The grip still plays a role in alignment, which we donвЂ™t like, and even though NikeвЂ™s battery-powered adjustment wrench is probably the coolest on the market (it beeps when the shaft is secure), itвЂ™s extremely easy to mar the ferrule when making adjustments. ThereвЂ™s such a minute difference in shaft position from one setting to the next that it can be very difficult to truly understand exactly where youвЂ™re configured. I think 32 different settings are at least 16 too many at least where adjustments at the shaft are concerned. The STR8-Fit system remains unchanged, so the criticism we had for last yearвЂ™s model is still true.

As with the previous model, the 2011 VR Pro driver features NikeвЂ™s STR8-Fit system which allows for 32 different shaft positions. Last seasonвЂ™s Aldila VooDoo shaft has been replaced with a вЂњmade forвЂќ variant of Project X graphite. Based on the diagrams, it looks like what Nike has tried to do isnвЂ™t completely dissimilar to what Cobra has done with the E9 technology essentially creating sweet spots along the diagonal (low on the heal, high on the toe) that golfers actually hit (or mis-hit). The new Variable Compression Channel reportedly increases impact speeds at more spots across the club face.

Upgrades, Changes, and the Status QuoДЄpart from whatвЂ™s different visually (IвЂ™ll cover that in the looks section), this yearвЂ™s VR driver features and upgrade to NikeвЂ™s Compression Channel Technology. I donвЂ™t carry the VR STR8-Fit anymore, but there are days (even weeks) that I sometimes miss it, so for very obvious reasons I was interested to find out whether the new model could live up to last yearвЂ™s. The latter more than made up for an of the other qualms I had about it, which is why it spent the majority of last season in my bag. Of course, I also hit it a fairly long way, and found more than my fair share of fairway woods. The whole of the truth is that I was indifferent about the looks, wasnвЂ™t in love with the feel, and liked the sound even less. The thing is, I absolutely loved last yearвЂ™s VR STR8-Fit Tour. Considering the driver market is dominated by TaylorMade, and that Callaway and Titleist can claim the bulk of the remainder, I can understand why you might wonder why a Nike driver would be so high on my list. As a golf equipment junkie itвЂ™s reasonably safe to say that I enjoyed testing all of them, but as far as my own personal buzz level is concerned, there wasnвЂ™t a single driver on my list that I was more anxious to test than the 2011 Nike VR Pro Driver.

(Written By: GolfSpy T) WeвЂ™ve already looked at a number of drivers this season. IвЂ™m inclined to label Nike the mostВ underratedВ andВ under appreciatedВ of the вЂњBig 5вЂќ OEMвЂ™s (TaylorMade, Callaway, Titleist, Ping, and Nike). All 6 of our testers produced A-Level performance scores. вЂњThe numbers say the Nike VR Pro driver isВ impressivelyВ andВ deceptivelyВ long.
