Video Review: Nike VR_S Fairway Wood

Nike’s 2012 VR_S range won a lot of praise across the board, and the fairway wood was no different, picking-up the coveted Bronze Award in our October 2012 fairways test.

David insisted this was a game improver club that even better players would like because of the pleasing shape and traditional looks. He commented on the ease with which the ball flew off the face and Anthony agreed, insisting the club
felt smooth and powerful. 

Anthony also said he’d feel confident attacking even the smallest greens with this because of the high flight, control and accuracy it provided. Mick liked the unfussy looks and performance but found other clubs provided more feel and feedback.

Our Elite TG Pro James Ridyard said: “I like the mid-size head shape and the understated finish because it will suit a high percentage of players. The weight, stability and feel were all very good and I have to admit to being surprised at the level of performance from a club that is more likely aimed at a higherhandicap
player.”

Here’s what our two equipment editors thought of it:
