All drivers were outfitted with the stock Fubuki K shaft (and yes…it’s most definitely the “Made For” kind). Testing was done using 8.5°, 9.5°, 10.5°, and 11.5° drivers in, A (Senior), Regular, Stiff, and X-Stiff flexes. This information is used as the foundation for our total subjective score. Our testers were also asked to rate the Nike VR_S Driver and provide feedback in our subjective categories (looks, sound & feel, perceived perceived forgiveness, and LOP (likelihood of purchase)). This data serves as the foundation for our final performance score. Detailed data for each and every shot for which we collected data is viewable just below the performance section of this review. As usual, testing was done at Tark’s Indoor Golf, a state of the art indoor golf facility located in Saratoga Springs, NY.

The 5 golfers (Tim is still unavailable due to injury) for whom we collected detailed performance data were asked to hit a series of shots on our 3Track Equipped simulators from aboutGolf. It’s said that a picture is worth a thousand words, so in the interest of saving several hundred of them, here’s the simple version of what you need to know:
Maybe I hit it well, but even if I did, there’s not a chance that 4 others guys would have the same experience, is there? So in the interest of not getting to caught up in my own perceptions, I decided to leave the VR_S alone until our demo clubs arrived. Of course, as most of you know, what we think we see, and what the numbers say actually happened are often two completely different things. And then, with GolfSpy X watching, I did it again, and again, and again. Not wanting to spoil a good run, I put the VR_S back in the bag and walked away. So back to demo day…Despite not bothering to get lose, I piped my first swing right down the center of my target line. So yeah, given my personal history with Nike drivers, I was anxious to see what the guys at the Oven had cooked up for me this time around. But…I’ve had the VR Limited in the bag since last fall (and love the feel).

I hit last year’s VR Pro lights out, but didn’t love it (again…golf…not rational). I bagged the first Victory Red STR8-Fit for nearly a season (a lifetime for me), and only put it away because I didn’t exactly love the sound/feel aspect of things. So why would a Nike driver be at the top of my list? I don’t have a rational explanation (what’s rational about golf), but Nike drivers just seem to perform well for me.
The club at the top of my list, and the one I hit first was the Nike VR_S driver…and that was before I had even heard of a Speed Trial. At this year’s show I set more time aside for fun. At the 2011 show I hit one club…that’s right, one. With all the picture talking and talking to people I need to do, there’s barely any time to actually hit any of the 10’s of thousands of clubs that are on hand. And I suppose in a lot of respects it is…unless you’re me. Spending a day at the annual PGA Show demo day sounds like a golfer’s dream. (Written By: T) Can we talk about me for a minute? I don’t know how you answered that question, but regardless, we ARE going to talk about me for a minute. You might not know it but this is the driver review you’ve been waiting to read all year…trust me! “ “ The combination of more distance and obscene accuracy offered by the VR_S had our senior tester more excited than he’s been since Viagra hit the market.
