INTRODUCING: THE VAPOR FAMILY
When the Nike Oven team studied Tiger’s blades, they discovered that the wear pattern was directly on the centre of the club’s face and not trending towards the heel where the bulk of the golf club’s weight is carried – and where he could achieve a more efficient strike. The Nike designers knew they hadn’t yet optimised the traditional blade for Tiger and vowed to do better. Their response: Nike Vapor irons.
"We had this idea, if we moved the CG towards the centre of the face that it would have more impact and more mass right behind the golf ball. And it worked. I was able to hit the ball a little bit further, it came off more solid, and the amazing thing is the ball flew better." — Tiger.
Working closely with Tiger, the Nike Oven team began drilling holes towards the toe of his irons and filling it with a weighted tungsten plug. This approach changed the golf club’s CG, thus offering the purest hit possible and giving way to what would eventually become Modern Muscle technology.
Modern Muscle technology achieves the same adjustment in CG but does so through geometry instead of a tungsten plug. This updated design method pushes weight to the toe of the club, shifting the centre of gravity to the middle of the club face.
The face-centred CG has been placed right where it needs to be for optimising performance on the golf course – precision, stability and golf ball speed.
Tour Trajectory
Forward weighting geared towards a strong, piercing trajectory.
Modernised Profile
Highly acclaimed Nike blade profile updated with a longer blade length and lower face height.
Progressive Trajectory
Modern Muscle weighting for a face-centred CG that progresses from low and deep to high and forward for high flying long irons and strong, penetrating short irons.
Forgiveness & Workability
RZN cavity long irons (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7) and muscle cavity short irons (8, 9, P, A), for the superior combination of stability and shot-shaping workability.
High + Strong Trajectory
Modern Muscle weighting for a face-centred CG that’s low and deep for a high-flying, far-reaching trajectory.
Superior Forgiveness
FlyBeam reinforced hollow-cavity long irons (3, 4, 5, 6, 7) maximise off-centre stability.
New flexflight technology allows easy manipulation of the club cg from low and forward to low and back to enable optimum launch configuration.
