Nike VR Forged Pro Combo Irons

Nike Golf found professionals and low handicap amateurs like irons that give them high trajectory with lots of forgiveness and Nike is bringing to market the VR Forged Pro Combo Irons ($1,000 November 1) to fill that wish.

As an update to the previous irons of the same name the new ones have a pocket cavity in the 3 through 6 and split cavity in the shorter irons. The long iron pocket cavities help to produce a higher ball flight that means more control on distance. There is a polymer in the cavity that Nike says makes for better sound and feel and helps create a softer feel.

“Our Tour athletes wanted higher ball flight and better gapping in the long irons,” says Tony Dabbs, Nike Golf Global Product Director, Golf Clubs. “We added the polymer to create a Tour-caliber set with long irons that are easier to hit, and players still see the profile they want at address without compromising on look, feel and sound.”
