Much of the weight was felt in the clubhead with the new Modern Muscle geometry. Nice feeling stock shaft for the majority but sound at impact was not particularly appealing - it was quite a hard sensation off the face. Fans of the sticky Golf Pride Tour Wrap grip that Nike keeps opting for were in the minority.
Tester's comment: 'I can't believe it's not butter.' PerformanceOne of the most forgiving and easy-to-hit irons in the test aided by its reinforced hollow cavity, low and deep center of gravity and particularly large sweetspot.
Very easy to get the ball airborne but not the longest in the test. Tester's comment: 'Superb turf interaction, it's very hard to miss the sweetspot.'

Recently, our experts tested Nike’s 2015 Vapor Speed irons against their predecessor, the VRS Covert 2.0, using Trackman.The New DesignThe Vapor Speed Irons are one of three new iron models that Nike is launching on October 31st. Each of the new irons features designs that incorporate resin in the head—a first in iron club design. In the Speed irons, Nike uses resin, a strong, lightweight material to place weight where they want it without sacrificing feel. Nike’s Modern Muscle geometry balances the center of gravity (CG) in the center of the face. Their ultra-fast Spring Steel faces with NexCOR and lightweight, high-launch shafts amplify ball speed across the entire face. This technology was originally introduced in drivers, but this is the first time Nike incorporated it into an iron design.If you can’t tell by now, the Vapor Speed irons are all about giving the average player more distance.
The hollow long irons are similar to hybrids and are paired with more traditional short irons to produce forgiveness and control where you need it while ensuring proper distance gaps between each iron.The Test: Vapor Speed vs. VRS Covert 2.0Our tester is an avid golfer with a 12 handicap that typically hits a draw. With seven iron club speed in the middle seventies, our tester is average length. Each of the seven iron were standard length and lie angles with their corresponding stock shafts. We used Titleist Pro V1 golf balls for testing.Here are the results, as measured by Trackman.The ResultsNotice first the one extremely long shot produced with the Vapor Speed. Admittedly this player pulled the shot producing more distance. However, it is also important to point out that all three of the shots produced with the Vapor Speed were longer than the even the longest shot produced by the VRS Covert 2.0.After seeing the results, we had to figure out why the Vapor Speed was so much longer than the Covert.

We knew that the NexCOR face must be factor. But there was also a significant increase in club speed with the Vapor Speed. We believe this is caused by Nike’s new lightweight tip-responsive shafts that are specifically designed to produce faster ball speeds. And it did just that for our tester. With 3.5 mph faster club speed, our tester experienced almost 4 mph faster ball speed—leading to 13 yards more carry, on average.Conclusion: The 2015 Nike Vapor Speed irons consistently produced faster ball speeds and longer distance.We believe that the NexCOR technology in the face, along with new lightweight shafts, make this iron a must try for those seeking more distance. Our tester was very impressed with the feel of the new Vapor Speed irons, likely due to the resin included in the design.If you’re interested in putting your current irons to the test against the new Nike Vapor Irons, grab your seven irons and head to your nearest Golf Exchange.
