Nike to release matte black Vapor Fly drivers
While the blue-and-volt colorways of the Nike Vapor Fly line of golf clubs make golfers stand out, Nike’s new limited-edition release is made to help them blend in. As part of the “Stay Hidden. Be Seen” pack, Nike is releasing Nike Vapor Fly and Vapor Fly Pro drivers with a matte black crown.
The drivers will be available along with a line of clothing that includes camouflage, reflective and black designs on polos, shorts, jackets, shoes, hats and more. Check out some of the gear in the photo below.
The collection will be available on nike.com and select retailers starting May 7.
Neal Shipley was the first to admit that he enjoyed his food while in college. But since his days at Ohio State, he’s slimmed down and earned a PGA Tour Card.
That hasn’t stopped him from having fun with his wedge stampings, though it’s led to some misunderstandings.
On the 54 (degree), we have ‘Big Fudge,'” Shipley told GolfWRX. “It was supposed to be ‘Big Fridge,’ so this happened a little while ago. ‘Big Fridge’ was a nickname between my college teammates and I, with ‘fridge’ meaning stomach, a big stomach.
“We told the Ping guys to put … ‘Big Fridge’ on it, and I think maybe some bad cell service or something, and they thought I said ‘fudge,’ so they put fudge on it.”
On Shipley’s 50-degree he also continues the food theme, this time with his go-to order at the “Golden Arches,” and his stamping “DONS 7.”
“The number 7 meal, the two cheeseburger meal, that was my McDonald’s order, back when I would have McDonald’s frequently,” Shipley shared.
At GolfWRX, we are a community of like-minded individuals who all experience and express our enjoyment of the game in many ways.
It’s that sense of community that drives day-to-day interactions in the forums on topics that range from best driver to what marker you use to mark your ball. It even allows us to share another thing we all love – buying and selling equipment.
Currently, in our GolfWRX buy/sell/trade (BST) forum, @raw10628 has a L.A.B. DF3 putter and Masters putter cover up for grabs.
From the listing: “Some great items here today, time to thin out and make room for next set of gear. All prices include shipping.
LAB DF3 Purple 33.5” 68° lie with TPT – $725. LAB Masters release DF3 cover – $150.”

Love this color scheme but I spoke with Nike and because it is a limited release they are offering no optional shafts. For the Pro it is S+60 in R or S only…

Every time I see the Nike logo I feel like I have thrown inside of a time machine that is stuck in the 1970’s – and these new B&W offerings remind me of the Leave it to Beaver reruns that once followed the Brady Bunch reruns back in the 1970’s.

There’s something about this that’s so black, it’s like how much more black could this be? And the answer is none. None more black.

I don’t know about that, but it goes to 11.5, which is one and half more if everything is at ten.

Sweet looking driver. I’m sure all the country club folks are gonna loooove the camo apparel!
Nobody

So the game is all about the prototypical “country club folk”? Golf needs to stop being so stiff and self absorbed. I love the game, but could do without this thought process. Im not into camo on or off the course, but I love what Nike is doing here.
