@Quinten Vanneste it's a kink of mine, really hits the spot lying about stuff

I remember reading an article by the designer who said they sent Tiger 3 identical clubs and Tiger sent a note back saying he "liked the heavy one". They had to weigh each one to find out that one of the clubs was only a fraction heavier than the other two. I tried the clubs when they first came out and went back to my Callaway "Hawkeye" driver.

Now you need to do a back to back with the titleist that Tiger replaced it with.

My dad still has this driver in the bag and he loves it. I gave him my old M3 but he hits the nike so much better than the M3. Shows that using the "lastest and greatest" equipment isnt always the best thing to do.

Thanks for one more interessting video. I remember from the early 00's, that Tiger was playing a big tournament, where he didn't use his driver very often. Instead he burned most of the courses with his T60 3-wood, where most of the other players were using their driver. I remember that this T60 panzerwagon nearly became legendary. I bought a T60 4-wood on sale, used it often from tee, and I loved this wood for many years. I wish that you can make a little video about that T60 "Tank".

Truly enjoy your videos. The teaching videos, the club comparisons, testing of old and new equipment, just messing about and all done with objectivity and a sense of fun. Helps during this Covid 19 shut in.

I had one of these. It was my first driver (other than the wooden one my dad cut down for me).I cleaned out my uncles garage and he gave it to me. I couldn't keep it in the fairway. :) One day when I was 14, the head snapped off at the range and outdrove the ball. The proshop had a Titleist 905 demo that they let me use for the round. Been bombing it down the middle ever since.

When I got serious about golf, that was my first driver. Full Nike set thanks to tiger. Gosh, totally forgot about this driver. Thanks for the nostalgia!

Here from the Instagram live 🙌 this driver was a piece of work 😂

Im loving this new hitting bay! I hope Rick continues to make some of the videos there.

That was my first decent driver in 2001, and I played it until this year, when I got properly fitted and bought the Cobra F9. That's when I discovered that I had been sold a "D" type head. Explained a lot over the years. Still have my beloved blue (in 3 metal as well).

how much farther you hitting the new one? I'm about to be fitted next weekend for the first time and I'm playing the same thing lol

Watching some Tiger interviews, I learned that he uses different parts of the face in order to shape the ball. I can see how he will be unhappy if the face punishes him for doing what he does best.

Spot on comment!

Thank you RICK, for what youre doing. A few of your lessons helped me card an 81 today at my favorite course. I played at HYLAND GOLF COURSE, Southern Pines, N.C. Thanks again, and keep up the wonderful videos. Also loved the video you did on the CALLOWAY EDGE UNISEX GOLF PACKAGE/SET.

Dude, the garage academy simulator is looking great! Loved the build video you did for it 👍🏻

Played these 3 and 5 woods for like 12 years and loved em lol

Thanks for keeping us entertained during these times, love your videos btw

I picked up one of those at a thrift shop recently for $4. I bought it as an interim driver after mine broke and I was saving up to replace it. I honestly enjoyed hitting it really! It's not bad. I have the 10.5 degree loft though so it's a bit shorter and more forgiving. But yeah, fun little piece of kit.

Every Nike club I ever hit in a store was absolutely awful. Then they seemed to finally start getting it right with the Vapor line right as they got out of the market. I only tried the Vapor on the recommendation of a Golfsmith employee after he said the contact felt good and they felt like they created spin. I was impressed and then the following year (I think) they got out.

I actually played one of these back when new. It was AWFUL.

Great fun looking back Rick, I had a Nike driver back when I restarted playing golf, never had second shots off the fairway😥⛳️

I love watching the videos with the old Nike drivers being compared to the newer ones. Although the club is illegal, I would really like to see how the Nike 460+ Limited Edition would do.

You are the best man, and are synonymous with golf now for me and my friends who golf. If you’re ever in NJ, come to Tamarack and I’ll treat you to both there 18 holes. The east course has been closed for almost 2 years and is about to open back up. Thanks for the endless quality content 🍻

Me: so this driver is really forgiving? Nike: Well yes but actually no.

Great to see this club venturing onto your channel. I’ve still got this and a 4 wood in my bag. Granted I don’t get out to play much nowadays so haven’t bothered changing it but I think I’d keep the 4 wood as it’s so easy to hit off the deck. I’ve always wondered if it was just my driver but does the face sit slightly closed on these when grounded? Compared to every other driver I’ve tried the face sits more closed than any of them.

Hi Rick a comment from sunny Spain , couldnt believe it when i saw this video !! i still have my 9.5 Nike driver in the bag and no plans to change ...... 17 years old and performs every time ! Played Valle de Este last week the driver still splits the fairways with exceptional distance. nice video Rick .....cheers

Super different video, love the twists you take on the channel!

Great film. Good to see enthusiasm and realism. Nice bloke. Oh, and his swing is quite good too..

I had one of these that I got second hand a few years back. I loved it. Hit it better than I hit any driver before.

I guess that can only mean one thing... You're better than tiger

Hey Rick, it would be awesome if you can test the drivers that were in production that year the Nike driver come out. A throw back Thursday special.

That was AWESOME 👏, Rick! I used to have one of those as well, but it was a later model that measured 400cc. It was the same colour, sole and face design, and back when it came out, it performed OK for me, but it was nothing special. Proof that, apart from NIKE irons being pretty good, their drivers and fairway woods never stood up to brands like Callaway, TaylorMade & Titleist. Great video! Love your content, as always. Hope you’re staying safe. Take care. 🙏👍

THANKS FOR ALL THE VIDEOS! You the man Rick!

It looks just like a Mizuno Pro 300S which was in the region of 300-320cc in headsize. These drivers were part of the early evolution from steel to titanium with high COR (“spring face”) technology. Compared with larger sized, multimaterial composite designs these days, the sweet area is small. That said, for old timers like me, it was massive back in 2000 when compared with persimmon heads! Beautiful classic clubs, but like an expensive lady, best admired from a distance, but don’t touch! Thanks for a fun trip down memory lane. 😁 (Disclaimer: I am a 48yr old who plays off 7, still using a Mizuno 300S and MP33s which includes a 2-iron. Since my tournament days are well behind me, I haven’t ever felt a need to upgrade my set from 2002. And at my age, I’m content with 280 up the middle!).

I remember looking at that driver in the shop and thinking wow those were the days lol love the videos and keep safe Rick👍🏻❤️

I used that driver for all of high school AND won our district tournament with it, honestly LOVED it back then 💯💯

Growing up I wanted everything Nike because of Tiger! Great video brought back a lot of memories seeing that driver!

Great vid sir! I am a fan of the old school drivers. Just before Christmas I picked up a Ping Zing Karsten 1 Wood! I am a fan of the sound the old wooden woods make...crack!

I have this driver and still chuck it in the bag for fun every now and again. Won a couple of longest drive society comps with it back in the day!! Love it.

993 comments coming right your way Rick. Great video.. getting us through this time. You have got me lifting the clubs again with your videos during this lock down. Thanks and keep up the great work.

There’s no difference in ball from when Tiger was using driver, to now. Still using a balata. That’s what he was known for.

Rick, the home sim’ looks like a winner for Homes and Gardens’ “UK’s Best Quarantined At Home Golf Simulators”. You may have to redecorate the range when this is all over! Keep doing what you do!

@notformebeaky there are loads of videos that Rick has done over the years. The ones he did around 2017 on the full swing and driver swing were really good. I only got into golf recently and found the videos to be useful, repeated, and sometimes in slow motion! Lessons also helped, but the videos were a great source for me :)

I've been playing this driver since 2003. I still love it.

I remember using that on Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2004

Yep!! Next year (my fav of the franchise) was the Ignite! Good times

Have had one from time they came out. It's a task master of a club! But when hit pure there is nothing like it . Well Done Rick !!!

I used to game the nike ignite back in the day, I loved it.

I love how much fun you have with golf. You are not afraid to laugh when you hit a bad shot or get excited when you absolutley pure one down the fairway. keep up the great videos.

I loved the Nike SQ Sumo2 (round not square) wow that was an awesome driver.

I played with this driver from when it first came out to about 5 years ago. My favorite driver I've ever had still.

Great little video Rick, I remember watching tiger hit that driver, like you say a simple/ tiny head driver but looks awesome

I’d love to see a video of all the clubs you own

I still have the Nike t40 3W somewhere. I think it came out right after this but it looks pretty much the same. I always liked it, had it in the bag for probably 5 or 6 years.

I had this back in the day. I absolutely hated the feel and performance. Don’t think I kept it in the bag for more than a year. I remember going to an old Titleist 975d the same summer. Never looked back. Cool to see this review!

Great video rick keep it up its getting me threw this lockdown

I owned one back in the day Rick and loved it. 9 degrees of loft also Nike pro combo irons I loved those as well. Take care 👍

When Nike came into the fold Tiger really busted out in late 90s. Nice edit bud. Love that simulator! I need me one for my vlogs.

Hey Rick, Love your videos, been a long time subscriber. I have the same driver someone gave me recently, 8 degree, extra stuff shaft, mine doesn't get real high at all but will run a country mile, lol Be safe, can't wait to see you back on the course, cheers from the USA!!!

Great video like always. Can you do a video on the Nike Sasquatch Sumo Driver. The one that was banned. It sounds like a metal bat.

OMG I have one of those but with 9.5⁰ and I'm still struggle to get it up in the air. Nice one Rick!

I've always found that being able to hit a driver well is whether or not it feels comfortable in your swing. The best and most consistent driver I ever hit was a Regal steel shafted one! It was heavy but felt amazingly comfortable and used to bomb down the fairways, and no bigger than 350cc

I still use my Nike Pro Combo irons I purchased in 2002. Love them!

So much throwback on this club, remember playing pga tour 2003 and wanting that club in the game 😂

I had one of these right after it came out. It was a hook machine and I have learned the shaft wasn't stiff enough. It wasn't long either. My current driver is the epic sub zero with a rogue max 85gram x flex shaft.

I loved these woods. I had the driver, 3, 5 and 7. I 💯 loved everything Tiger back then. Wish I still had them.

I got one in 9.5* not long after they were introduced - not b/c of the brand or pros using it, but b/c as I recall the price dropped to the basement pretty soon after it came out.

Great video Rick. Would like to see a test on the Taylormade r540xd. Now that was a controversial Driver.

Good work! I had that driver and actually enjoyed hitting it, I was carrying as much as you are in those days and once in a while could get it past 300 yards with roll, Ball flight was definitely low.

I still have one of these and even put a steel shaft in it. I dont play it, but keep it as a piece of memorabilia. I believe Tiger was playing this driver when he hit one of my favorite shots he’s ever hit. The 2002 US Open at Bethpage Black, final round on #12 after the rain delay. Demolished that tee shot!!

I just loved my Powerbuilt Citation persimmons and I won many long drive contests at 300-340. !!! I didn't change until my faces wore down to a point that they were at 5* and unplayable.......tested many new ones and ended up with GBB 8* and gave me similar distance !!

The first time I was ever fitted for a driver was with Nike.........he put me in an 8* Sasquatch....x flex.......I was stunned but brother did that driver ever work for me.......300+ like one out of 3 shots.......had it for years !!!

I had the 5 wood of the same set, loved it. Only swapped it out last year. Had it 10+ yrs

HAd one of these. Bought it used in a Golf Galaxy for $50 back in 2005 or so. What I didnt realize at the time was that whoever had it before me put an OG Speeder 757 in it. I loved that club. SOme of the best drives Ive ever hit in my life were with that club. One day the shaft broke about 5 inches above the hosel. Ive been chasing that dragon ever since

I’d love to see some more reviews on old nike drivers.

I still play the Nike Vapor irons. Played the Nike blade irons prior to these. I also have the F7 one length and played the Callaway Razor X irons too.

This was high class back in the day!! Wonder if shaft had anything to do with the low launch and poor carry? I've only found a couple shafts in the past few years that work for my woods!!!!!

I used to go to Golf Galaxy or the PGA Superstore or something and find the oldest looking driver they had and see if I could hit it 300 yards. Best I've done was with an old Titleist 983k which was a year after this Nike driver that I hit just over 300. Fun to see the difference over time. Distance hasn't increased a tremendous amount due to clubs, but the forgiveness is night and day.

My Brother had the 3 wood with a steel shaft. I absolutely loved that club!

I played his first King Cobra with the steel shaft. I loved that driver. My first drivers were wood. Favorite club ever was the wood Cobra baffler in 5 wood. I could hit that thing 230 yards. Out of the rough it was a beast!

Beautiful looking driver, loving the blue tint. 👍

I have a 7 handicap, but I’m stuck, I would love to see a video of breaking 70 and a breaking 80 video... also would LOVE to see a video on mentality of how you get over bad shots or tough holes, etc. mental golf is so important and I feel you’ll see a big spike in views.

Rick Sir, would love to see if you could get your hands on the unreleased 2017 Nike Drivers... The VPR Pro or the VPR Strike.

I like the way you go back to older clubs, to get an idea how things have changed. Have you got any persimmon woods you could try, I always remember Tony Penna drivers being the one to use. Still got mine, doesn’t go as far, but I think it’s me and not the club.

First new club I bought was the 7 wood on clearence from the previous season. still have it, still use it

That room is so sick 🔥🔥🔥

Great video showing the technology advancements of golf clubs through the yrs

Have Nike mentioned to or sent you any of the air zoom infinity tour shoes. Can’t wait for them to come out.

Be cool to see you find some bargin clubs on eBay to try while your locked down. I went back to my srixon w506, can't believe i ever took it out of the bag

Rick, you must have so many clubs now!! I think I saw in your Q&A session with the Bad Golfers that you said you have 100s! How about showing us your collection at some point? The highlights, the favourites, the ones that promided so much but just never really performed - and the stuff you'd completely forgotten you had!! (Are you even able to get access during lockdown?) Cheers.

Nice video Rick! How about doing one with really old club. Next step, two, three clubs from the early 90th Start with; Tommy Armour 845s Silver scot Allt the woods and the irons?! The video after that you can take the early 80th. Perhaps Macgregor cg 1800 Jack Nicklaus cavity back iron and the early titanium woods?! (We can go on forever...) Plenty of old gems out there (the irons - most would go right in the anybody's bag, no problem at all) and plenty of woods nobody use anymore (for good reason.) But still interesting to see how far you can hit them. Why not give it a shot?! I bet you can fins 3-4 set of old irons for the low, the middle and the high handicapper. Give people a chance to learn the best bargain they can find according to you.

I had the junior set of these! Loves them
