The 3-7 irons feature a hollow construction that help them function like metalwoods for maximum distance. These long irons were also given a forged, NexCOR face design that is 2.7 millimeters thick in the center and 2.2 millimeters thick around the edges. The short irons and wedges are built with RZN in the cavity, improving feel, sound and stability at impact.
Introducing the Vapor Iron Family powered by Modern Muscle technology.
Building a better iron starts with listening to the voice of the athlete. At The Oven, Nike's meticulous process of collecting insights and implementing feedback from the world's best athletes has been the driving force behind the development of the Vapor Iron family and Modern Muscle.
The craftsmen at The Oven started drilling holes towards the toe of his irons and filling it with a weighted tungsten plug. An approach that changed the club's CG, offering the purest hit possible and giving birth to what would eventually become Modern Muscle technology. Modern Muscle technology achieves the same adjustment in CG, but does so through geometry instead of a tungsten plug. This updated design method pushes weight to the toe of the club, shifting the center of gravity to the middle of the club face. This face-centered CG is right where it needs to be for optimum performance, precision, stability and ball speed.
Now, Modern Muscle technology will be available in all three members of the Nike Vapor Iron Family - the Vapor Pro, Vapor Pro Combo and Vapor Speed. Because no matter what conventional wisdom might say, there's always better.
- Modern muscle geometry balances the CG in the center of the face for maximum ball speed, the highest stability and the purest feel.
- Ultra-fast Spring Steel faces and lightweight, high launch shafts amplify ball speed to the highest level.
- FlyBeam reinforced hollow cavity long irons (3, 4, 5, 6, 7) maximize energy return and off-center stability.
- RZN cavity short irons (8, 9, PW, AW, SW) combine stability with refined feedback.
- Low and deep weighted for a high-flying, far-reaching trajectory.
- Moderate sole widths with a beveled leading edge for forgiving soled/turf interaction.
- Machine milled X3X grooves for enhanced spin control and shot-to-shot consistency.
- Longer blade lengths and shallower face heights for a clean and confidence-inspiring profile.
- True Temper Dynalite 105 : Lightweight, tip-responsive design promotes increased ball speed and a higher ball flight.
- Mitsubishi Fubuki Z 70 : Upgraded stability with higher launch and lower spin.
- Golf Pride Tour Wrap 2G grip : enhanced tackiness and soft material for a great feel.
