10 Years Later… Should You Still Buy NIKE Golf Clubs?

Nike Golf quit making golf clubs 10 years ago… but were they wrong to do so?

In this video, Guy Charnock takes a trip down memory lane to revisit some of the golf clubs Nike used to make, finding out whether they really couldn’t compete in the club market – or whether they were actually very (very) good clubs that you should still consider buying today.

We test the very first driver Nike ever made, their final driver before leaving the golf club market, and a few hidden gems that might have you searching for a bargain right now!

Were Nike Golf underrated? Could their clubs still compete with modern equipment? And should Nike make a comeback?

Let us know what you think in the comments! ⛳ ☑️

Welcome to H.I.T Golf Reviews – the home of honest, independent and trustworthy golf equipment reviews.

If you want straight-talking advice on drivers, irons, wedges, putters, golf balls and golf tech, you’re in the right place. Every review is based on proper testing, launch monitor data and real on-course experience – not marketing slides.

We test all the big names (TaylorMade, Callaway, Ping, Titleist, Mizuno, Cobra and more) plus the direct-to-consumer brands you’re starting to hear about. New vs old, budget vs premium, “forgiving” vs “players” – we put them head-to-head so you can see what actually performs.

Our testing is built around launch monitor data (GCQuad) and real-world shots, but we always explain the numbers in normal-golfer language. No fluff, no hidden agendas – just whether a club will help your game or not.

Whether you’re:
buying your first proper set,
a mid-handicapper looking for more forgiveness, or
a low-handicap player chasing that perfect combo of feel and distance,

H.I.T is here to help you pick the right gear for your swing, not just the newest thing on the shelf.

Why H.I.T exists:
To cut through the hype.
To give golfers the truth.
To save you time, money and a few golf balls.
To make the game a bit easier – and more fun.

  3. 152mph and 267 carry does not compute in the slightest bit. Something is off with that launch monitor/settings.

  5. Will let you borrow my 1996 TaylorMade irons for a comparison against modern clubs.

    Obviously I get to keep the new clubs 😉

  7. Still play the Nike vapor pro driver and irons. The biggest reason I went with the driver was the weight was light and the color. The black with Flo yellow was awesome! The Irons are butter and I wish we had a company that would be bold enough to put some color in the clubs , nothing crazy just something.

  10. Brings back so many memories watching this. That first Nike driver. I still remember the feeling of excitement, wanting it! Nice one guy 👍

  13. That podcast where you were talking about working for Nike golf was so interesting guy, crazy to hear about it from someone in the inside.

  15. Cheers mate been using my Nikes all year amazing irons, wish I’d of brought a second set before they inevitably sky rocket in price

  17. I had the nike vapor tw driver… f*cked it by changing the shaft for project x pvd hulk.. swing weight went stupid.. still used it for 3 seasons because it looked phenomenal down by the ball.. went absolutely nowhere though

  18. Bought my first set of vapor flys in 2017 and till got them original grips and all still look and work great don’t plan on getting a new set anytime soon

  19. I can never understand how golfers say the old drivers were hard to hit because the heads were so small, yet most golfers are happy to hit a mordern 3 wood or Hybrid off the tee which has a smaller head than the old drivers???

  20. I used the SQ for a few years. Then I got the covert 2 your head. I still have my longest drive with that club. My buddy took that whole covert set back to Vietnam with him. Still uses it.

  21. To be honest I dont play much golf I watch the big golf tournaments and big golf YouTubers and gre up around a dad when I was who would golf almost every other weekend and an uncle who literally golfs every time he can my uncle and some of the YouTubers I watch a lot say the best thing Nike put out where there irons in fact my uncle stills uses the a mix set of vapor pro combo and vapor fly pros I’ve played few par threes and I’ll admit I find myself reaching for Nike vapor pro combos they are solid decently stiff shaft which I prefer for my irons

  23. Think you're wrong the last driver and irons were really good , Nike was on to something at the end but yes the colour scheme was horrendous

  24. I don’t know if it has to do with your guys’ end but I get the same commercial over and over again and sometimes like 30 seconds apart. Back to back to back . Like jeeez.
