Rick Shiels PGA Golf Coach tests the Nike VR Forged Pro Combo against the Titleist AP2 714 irons in a head to head to see which new iron range will best suit mid to low handicappers and help improve their scores and their games. All tests are carried out using real golf balls and Flightscope Kudu at Trafford Golf Centre in Manchester UK.

  1. Nikes vr pro blades and vr pro vombo are great clubs. If some guy at youre
    store is telling you nike make junk he does not know what he is talking
    about. The nike vr pro II blades where better then titleists. Titleist made
    there new blades with a thinner topline after nike got better rewievs on
    looks and just as god in preformance. Check out Mark Crossfields testing
    of the vr pro blades. The new vapor blades are going to be just as good if
    not better. Nike has one of the worlds best golf club engineers working
    for them.

  2. People don’t get it do they – firms like Nike, Titleist, Ping, Mizuno have
    “standard” players irons because they are driven by top tour pros who
    demand precision rather than marketing people that tell them players want
    distance distance distance – they provide jacked up clubs in the more
    consumer ranges for people that want some help. Its hard to take firms that
    provide jacked up tour clubs seriously ;-)

  3. How much bias is in this review? My local pro said that Nike is junk but
    all the reviews I see online say that the VR Pro Combo is very good. I play
    bogey golf and usually shoot around 45 for 9 holes. I play burner 2.0 gi
    irons and hate the clunky look they have, I can work the ball but it is
    extremely difficult with them. Btw My natural ball flight is a slight fade
    and my 7 iron carry distance is about 180.

  4. Hi Rick
    Im not sure get ap2 forged or nike vr forged pro combo. Currently got ping
    i20 irons but might trade them into get forged irons and new driver and new
    3 wood and 5 wood and hybrids and new putter and new wedges handicap 11

  5. Looking that lofts of practically every “players” iron over the last couple
    days it seems 30* for a 6iron is standard, and the Nike’s 31* is weaker
    than standard. plus the Nike’s were a 1/4” shorter. I dont know why Nike
    would do that. but their 5 4 and 3 iron lofts are standard.

  6. Rick,
    You were 5 mph of ball speed slower on the Pro Combo (with 1 mph more of
    club head speed) than the AP2. In your testing of both clubs, did you find
    the AP2 to be a consistently hotter club face thanks to the heel/toe
    weighting? 

  7. Wow, the Nike L to R dispersion is tight compared to the AP2. Tried to hit
    the Nike clubs in the US this week, but they were not yet released. Not
    buying my new irons until I hit the Nike VR Pro Combo. This is going to be
    a hard season in which to choose new irons. I don’t expect a huge
    technology boost, but the club makers are throwing out a lot of eye candy.

  8. Dispersion is a shaft thing. The Nike is using the DGPro S300 and the
    Titleist has the DG S300 traditional. My shots are more R-L and generally
    looser with the traditional S300 over the newer Pro. But your mileage may
    vary. Your dispersion pattern with each mirrors mine identically. The
    lighter DG Pro in Nike goes higher, straighter, with considerably more
    spin. There is your distance loss..

  9. Im a Taylormade guy but hit those Nike forged vr pros today after I saw
    your review on them. Im in the market for a new set forged irons and was
    BLOWN away at how well they performed on the simulator. I also hit
    Taylormade tp CB and MC as well as the Mizuno MP54 (easily the prettiest of
    all the clubs I hit) all performed well. And I still have to hit the AP2
    and Miz EZ forged (although I don’t like that thick top line) before I make
    me choice but as things stand currently, Im leaning toward the Nikes (never
    thought I’d say that). I saw your expression in your NikeVRpro review and
    thought you may have been putting us on, because you were decked out in
    Nike hat and all… Boy was I wrong. I had the exact same reaction. I was
    blown away at well they performed shot after shot. Thanks Rick, you earned
    credibility from me, and you will be my source for product review from here
    on out. Cheers.

  10. Hi Rick great videos as always, just wondering about those numbers on
    flightscope. Club head speed differed a lot with the nike ranging from 80 –
    111.5 mph has something gone wrong? 

  11. I guess figures (distance, trajectory) are pretty much what you’d expect
    really for both clubs given their respective specs. (though a strange range
    of swing speeds) You’ve got the S55’s on order, either of these Clubs come
    close to you changing your mind?? Seems to me Nike clubs have come a long
    way in a short time span in comparison to the well established Titleist &
    Ping, though I don’t think Nike will be going in my bag any time soon TBH.
