Since then I’ve been extremely accurate and long, without having to think much at all. As they say in texting or on Twitter: OMFG.Īrmed with the incredible new knowledge gained from the right handed section of the quick start guide, I set the club to one degree flat and one degree of draw bias. I flipped over the guide and sure enough, there was the right handed setting guide. Bonehead alert! It was at that point that I realized I’d been setting my VR_S according to the guide for LEFT handed players. I sat down with the STR8-FIT quick start guide one more time to see if I could find a better setting, one that I didn’t have to adjust to but was instead adjusted to my swing. I managed to shoot some decent scores and still beat my opponents out of the ever-important $2.00 nassau bets. I struggled for several rounds with the driver but kept with it and adjusted my swing. My contact got worse and control very bad.

I was surprised that I had to adjust ball position and my swing so much but I made the adjustments and started to hit it “okay.” I decided to tweak the settings more, adding more draw to the bias. I set the club up for a draw and for a flat lie, as I’m not the tallest guy in the world. What happened next became legendary among my golf buddies. Then I started messing around with the STR8-FIT adjustments to see if I could improve my accuracy, launch angle and especially distance. I started with this driver in a completely neutral setting on all accounts, loft, lie and face angle. The setups I’ve experimented with on the VR_S Driver have been interesting to say the least. Nike VR_S Driver And Head Cover – click to magnify The cover is good looking and does its job, protecting the club. There’s a magnetic section on the end of the cover which clamps it around the shaft. The head cover which comes with the VR_S is cool. That being said, I have great traction with it and it is very durable. It is harder than the grips I typically like to use. Stock grip on the VR_S Driver is the Nike Tour Velvet. Weight of these shafts varies based on stiffness from 53.5 grams to 59 grams. Stock shaft for the VR_S Driver is the Nike Fubuki K. The lie starts at 0° and can go to as far as -4° (flat). Lie angle: Four degrees of lie angle adjustment are available in the VR_S Driver.Just like the face angle, the amount of available loft adjustment depends on what bias the club is set to, straight, draw or fade. From that point the loft is adjustable from -2° to +2°. Loft: The VR_S driver is available in four lofts: 8.5°, 9.5°, 10.5°, 11.5° and 13° (also known as HL).The face can be opened two degrees in fade bias setting, and closed two degrees in draw bias setting. The amount of face adjustment depends on the setup of the head regarding straight, draw bias or fade bias. Face angle: As many as four degrees of variance, from -2° to +2°.Surprisingly one of the settings is perfect for a “ granny over-the-top dual chicken wing face open inside-out reverse pivot body lunge” swing. This system allows the user to custom fit their driver to their exact swing.

The hosel of the driver incorporates Nike Golf’s STR8-FIT technology. NexCOR technology increases distance and accuracy for all shots, especially those not quite in the center for those of us (like me) who aren’t pros.
