Nike Vapor Fly Fairway Wood Expert Review
Written By: Bob Gomavitz
The Takeaway
Nike introduces the new Hyperlite Face that creates extreme ball speeds across the face, and a re-engineered Compression Channel that amplifies performance on mishits. The Covert Cavity Back Design spreads weight to the heel and toe for maximum forgiveness. And, the FlyBeam structure stabilizes the body and channels more energy into the face, the Athlete Authentic Tour shape provides forgiveness and workability while the FlexLoft offers six settings for the unique ability to adjust loft and lie angle independently.
Who's It For?
The Nike Vapor Fly Fairway Wood is designed to fit a good range of players. Two different shaft offerings will help define the launch angle that the player is looking for.
Final Take
The Vapor Fly Fairway Wood has a more traditional shape that mid to lower handicap players prefer. The ball flight was a little on the low side, which surprised me based on the shaft that I chose for testing. The feel was like the Vapor Fly Driver, though maybe a little less muted. Like the driver, this head offers a brushed steel face colorway. My dispersion pattern had a slight draw bias to it, which might have changed if I had adjusted the FlexLoft settings.
Club Tested:Shaft: Tensei CK Blue 65; Flex: Stiff; Loft: 15°
