New Nike Driver Price Comparison..........

  I know this doesn't affect me but I am curious as to why the Nike driver newly introduced at L75+ is more expensive than say the G20s introduced at L81+.  

  This club is inferior to the G20 in all aspects other than an insignificant difference in meter speed.  A 6 level difference is also insignificant particularly the speed at which people can level up these days  Obviously, the R9 will become obsolete in time.

  Happy hitting......

  To be fair the R9 was obsolete before this came along.

  To be fair the R9 in real life has become something you can buy fairly cheap but will always know there's something better out there.

  I'm at my local Pro Shop just about every week, haven't seen one on a shelf for about 2 years.

  The big difference I see, IMHO, is that you get 3 driver lofts in one, giving more versatility in shaping your drive, depending on the conditions at the tee. After I get this club in my bag, I'll come back and write a full review, but personally, I think this was a wise move on WGT's part....but that's just me.

  You don't get three in one. You get three in three. If you want to put all three in your bag you'll have to drop two other clubs.

  would be interesting to see how WGT allows you to make the adjustments to the club.......the RL promotions for the club state:

  The patented Dual Axis adjustment allows golfers to choose their loft and face angle independently of each other by decoupling loft from face angle. This all leads to better ball flight for more distance as well as enhanced workability. This technology gives golfers 15 different options.

  I wonder will the timer for MPC & AS need to be adjusted?..... :-)

  You dont really get the opportunity to 'shape' your drives on here, there is no definitive draw or fade, just a miss the ding one pixel left or right or allow for the wind!!
