Nike Announce New Equipment
Drivers, fairways, irons, wedges, balls, Nike have almost completely revamped their equipment line-up with the new Victory Red line up of irons and wedges, the Dymo woods and new Nike ONE balls.
Obviously taking inspiration from a certain Mr Wood’s favourite Sunday colour, the new Victory Red line up represent 3 new iron sets and a new wedge series. There are also 4 new Dymo drivers (including 2 with STR8-FIT technology), 2 new Dymo fairway woods and 3 new premium golf balls.
Irons
Victory Red Forged TW Blade, Victory Red Forged Split Cavity Irons, Victory Red Full Cavity Irons

Having lead the PGA Tour in iron wins since 2005, Nike have introduced 3 new irons aimed at different segments of the golfing market to extend this dominance: a traditional muscleback blade, a cavity back players iron and a fuller cavity back iron aimed at the average golfer. The muscleback has already seen Tour usage from the likes of Paul Casey and Trevor Immelman.
Wedges
Victory Red Forged Wedge

A wedge that was good enough for Tiger to use at his recent victory at the US Open and here’s why: forged from soft 1025 carbon steel, ‘High Rev ‘grooves for maximum spin, CNC milled flat face and a Tour-inspired heel grind.
Drivers

Dymo stands for ‘Dynamic Moment of Inertia’ which Nike tells us combines all the elements of driver performance, including head size and geometry, centre of gravity, loft and lie angles and spin ratios to offer the optimal performance for each club. The two head shapes allow golfers to choose between the straight hitting square headed version and the more workable classical shaped head. Both come with Nike Golf’s proprietary UST Wide Body Shaft with an AXIV Core (available in weights of 59 grams, 69 grams and 79 grams). This shaft features a larger overall diameter throughout the body, to provide more stability through impact for the specific moment of inertia characteristics of each loft-tuned head, while the AXIV Core provides the tip stiffness required for optimum power transfer.
STR8-FIT technology allows the clubhead to be manually orientated into eight different positions to produce the desired shot shape and provide the most efficient means of hitting the ball straighter and hopefully longer. There are three different clubhead positions for a ‘closed’ clubface, which encourages shots to be shaped to the left; two positions for a ‘neutral’ clubface, which allows the ball to be shaped in either direction, and three ‘open’ clubface positions, which encourages shots to be shaped to the right
Fairway Woods
SQ Dymo2 Fairway Wood, SQ Dymo Fairway Wood

Nike Golf’s new SQ Dymo² and SQ Dymo Fairway Woods possess all the performance-enhancing benefits of larger head geometry, but also have the added benefit of featuring a sole that is specifically designed to minimise turf interaction at impact.
The Quad Keel Sole features four separate quadrants to make it easier to lift the ball cleanly from all types of lie, while maintaining total control over the clubhead throughout the impact zone. The raised angle of each quarter of the sole reduces twisting and maximises clubhead speed..
Balls
Nike ONE Tour, Nike ONE Tour D, Nike ONE Vapor

Nike ONE Tour: Four piece seamless Urethane covered ball for Tour performance
Nike ONE Tour D:Three piece seamless Urethane covered ball for maximum Tour distance
Nike ONE Vapor: Three piece Ionomer covered ball for distance and control at average swing speeds

Tour Tech Rundown: Heroic Henley
Around the world, the golf wheel spun this final week in May of 2026. From New Jersey to Austria, with stops in Korea, Texas, and North Carolina (don’t let me route your next trip) the world’s finest put their golf games on display. There were three playoffs, some known commodities and some new talent. It was the sort of week that we hope to have at this point in the seasons. June and July afford double-digit major events, and perhaps, one of this week’s champions will use this success as a springboard to new heights. Time to run it all down, tech style, in this week’s Tour Tech Rundown.
Thanks to WITBHub, Today’s Golfer, GolfWRX, and Inside Tour Golf for initial research into equipment.
PGA Tour @ Charles Schwab Challenge: Heroic Henley denies Cole
Eric Cole did nearly everything that a fellow can do, to secure a first PGA Tour title. He stayed one shot clear of Ryder Cup player Ben Griffin. He kept US Open champion Gary Woodland and wunderkind Michael Brennan two shots distant. He posted 70 on day four to reach twelve under par. And then, Russell Henley revealed his Dr. Strange cloak. Henley made 47 feet of birdie putts on holes 16, 17, and 18, to jump from minus-nine to twelve-deep, and secured a spot in a playoff with Cole. The duo returned to the final tee, and put on a stripe show.
Both golfers found the fairway off the tee, and Henley improved on his regulation play with an approach to four feet. Cole did himself proud, tucking an iron to a dozen feet, but he was unable to convert the putt for three. Henley is one of the best putters on tour, and he proved it once more by draining a putt for a fourth consecutive birdie, and a sixth PGA Tour title. For Eric Cole, that first victory should come, and soon. He has done everything necessary to earn the chalice lift.

LPGA @ Shoprite LPGA: Welcome back, Celine!
Soo Bin Joo had her eyes on a maiden LPGA title. She held the lead after two rounds, then hit a red light at the intersection of can-I and how-To. Joo posted plus-two on day three in New Jersey, and dropped to a T4 finish, which was still a career-best for the young Korean golfer. Instead of a new face, a familiar face returned to the top of the podium.
Celine Boutier was the It Girl in 2023. She collected four victories, including a major title at Evian. Boutier reached world number one status, then simply faded into the background. No wins came her way over the next 30 months. On Sunday, she collected LPGA victory number seven, at the same trace as LPGA victory number two.
Day three saw Boutier manage the windswept Seaview Bay course with six birdies and a bogey. She was challenged in the end by Thailand’s Arpichaya Yubol, who signed for a 66 of her own. Yubol came up one shot shy of the top ladder rung. Finishing in third place at -7, two back of the winner, was Ireland’s Lauren Walsh.

DP World Tour @ Austrian Alpine: KK? KK!
Kota Kaneko has a rhythmic name. It has strong vowels and a run of voiceless stops in its crunchy K sounds. On Sunday in Austria, Kaneko put a stop to a challenge from Portugal’s Ricardo Gouveia and everyone else, and claimed a first-ever title on the DP World Tour. Gouveia did well to reach 16-under par over four days, but Kaneko held firm, two shots in the clear.
Davis Bryant of the USA also forged a strong challenge for the win. He ended in a tie with Gouveia for second place. Kaneko began and finished his final round in a bit of a malaise, but he caught fire midway through. Birdies at 10, 12, and 13 provided the necessary cushion to cruise to the finish line without breaking a serious sweat.
Kaneko’s Suitcase
- Driver: Ping Max G440
- Metals: TaylorMade Qi4D at 15, 16.5, 21, and 24 degrees

Korn Ferry Tour @ UNC Health Championship: Improbably Alvaro
Alvaro Ortiz may have had a bit of scare on the outward nine on Sunday, but he came through in clutch fashion in the end. Ortiz began the day bogey-double, and added another double bogey at the 11th hole. He was mired in a downward trend, spiraling away from the top of the leader’s board. Ortiz found hope at the 14th, where his first birdie of the day tumbled home. Inspired, he closed with birdies and 17 and 18 to catch Ross Steelman at 10-under par, and the duo returned to the 18th deck for overtime.
The extra session concluded in brief time. Ortiz, buoyed by his newly-retrieved confidence, hit the fairway with driver, then approached to six feet and drained the putt. Gobsmacked, Steelman could do little more than smile and applaud, as his run at the top came to a close. The victory was the first for Ortiz on the KFT, and will implant him squarely in the chase for a PGA Tour promotion.
Alvaro’s Suitcase
- Driver: Ping G430 MAX driver at 9 degrees loft
- Metal: Ping G430 MAX 3W
- Iron: Ping iDi Driving Iron

LIV @ Korea: Me llamo Joaquin
Chile’s Joaquin Niemann had been away from the LIV winner’s circle throughout all of 2026. This week in Korea, he reminded us that he is still a force to consider. Niemann chased down Taylor Gooch over the closing holes at Asiad Country Club, then claimed victory with a hole-one birdie in extra time. Bryson DeChambeau claimed solo third, one shot in arrears at minus-eleven. Dustin Johnson finished on fourth, one putt farther back.

Q- “Are Paul Casey and Trevor Immelman playing the muscleback with the Tiger Woods logo on it?”
No they will not. They will play the VR muscle back iron shown int he tour forums here at GolfWRX. Take a look.
The TW Logo muscle back heads are for retail only.

I wonder how the new blades compare to the old forged nike blades. The new victory blades look pretty bad and not aesthetically pleasing at all. blades should be plain. i play the old blades and i love them. however i’m looking for a good player’s cavity back that doesn’t look gimmicky.

these irons are incredibly ugly. i would never even consider playing stuff that looks this cheap.

The blade looks good, but the other two irons sets look like garbage. They have the same blade shape of an ugly Nicklaus Air Bear from the early 90s, not to say anything of the graphics. Ascetically these may be the worst looking irons I’ve seen this season.
The Drivers look much better, though. Finally got rid of the yellow and the shape looks much better.

Nike One Vapor: B-330 RX anyone? I like the RX, but the cover shreds…if the ‘swing speed’ optimized balls sell as well as I think they are, everyone will do it…and it makes sense..after all, the Tour balls are optimized for the Tour players!

This new line looks great. I will be getting a set of the split cavity irons and a Str-8 fit driver. Can’t wait.
