Nike introduce Vapor Speed and Vapor Flex hybrids

Nike Golf’s visually bold and functionally refined Vapor design has now extended to hybrid clubs. 

Completing Nike Golf’s new Vapor line of woods are the new Vapor Flex and Vapor Speed Hybrids, each highlighted by an eye-catching flash of volt in the cavity back and Compression Channel.

The new Vapor Flex hybrids feature FlexLoft 2, a lower centre of gravity, and lower, straighter leading edges. 

A FlyBeam-reinforced Covert Cavity Back directs impact energy to the reengineered compression channel for increased ball speed across the face. 

The engineering team at The Oven reshaped the Vapor Flex hybrid chassis to allow for more consistent impact and improved launch conditions. 

“The Vapor Flex hybrids were engineered for speed, versatility, and forgiveness as demanded by our athletes,” said Nate Radcliffe, Director of Engineering for Nike Golf.  

“Leading edges are straighter and tighter to the turf while a lighter FlexLoft 2 and sloped crown has significantly lowered center of gravity to produce improved launch conditions.” 
Athletes looking to maximize and control trajectory from a variety of lies will benefit from the powerful combination of these signature technologies" By adjusting the FlexLoft 2 mechanism in the Vapor Flex hybrids, golf athletes can tune loft and face angle to optimize distance and shot shape during the fitting process. 

The Vapor Speed hybrids feature a unique design that engineers at The Oven call “Linear Progression.” 

The longer hybrids feature a larger body and shallower face and progress to a sleek body and deep face on the short hybrids. 

This progression allows for more forgiveness and speed on long hybrids, while yielding shot-making accuracy and workability on shorter hybrids.
 
“The Vapor Speed hybrids are engineered for speed, increased trajectory and forgiveness,” said Radcliffe.  “Athletes looking to maximize and control trajectory from a variety of lies will benefit from the powerful combination of these signature technologies.”
