NikeGolf Introduces New Adjustable Fairway Woods In The VR Line
BE
AVERTON, Ore. (January 12, 2010)- Nike Golf has
been closely working with its stable
of Tour athletes to optimize shape, adjustability and face thickness to
deliver the ultimate
performance fairway metal - the new VR STR8-FIT Tour fairway woods. This
introduction
follows in the footsteps of Nike Golf's recently announced new premium
drivers, the VR
STR8-FIT Tour and the VR Tour.
The VR STR8-FIT Tour fairway woods, available on
January 28, 2010, are designed for
golfers who are refining their game and demand Tour quality performance.
Nike Golf athlete
and 2009 U.S. Open champion Lucas Glover used the VR STR8-FIT Tour 15
degree 3-wood
at the SBS Championship where he led the field for three rounds.
The premium VR STR8-FIT Tour fairway woods include
the award-winning STR8-FIT
ace-angle technology that has 32 face options to shape any shot and tame
any course. As
with the VR STR8-FIT Tour drivers, the VR STR8-FIT Tour fairway woods
feature Nike's
distinctive red Compression Channel on the sole. The split compression
channel optimizes
a 455 ultra thin steel face that delivers a hotter response and longer
shots.
"Our athletes prefer a smooth sole design for
optimized playability on tight fairway lies,"
said Tom Stites, Director of Club Creation for Nike Golf. "In order to
achieve that, we split
the compression channel on the sole to provide improved performance from
every lie."
The VR STR8-Fit Tour fairway woods include a thin
Nike Powerbow design that places the
center of gravity low and forward for faster swing speeds. With a
Tour-inspired round shape
head, the VR STR8-Fit Tour fairway woods feature a mid shallow head design.
The VR
STR8-FIT Tour fairway woods come with an Aldila Voodoo shaft that delivers
score
technology that strengthens the shaft and creates a more consistent
performance.
Availability: January 28, 2010 at golf shops and
specialty stores nationwide.
