I did not have many opportunities to try the various shafts, but at my swing speed, acc to the pro, I was borderline between regular flex and stiff, and he would err towards regular. The 460cc was the best option for me acc to the pro. I have never played with an adjustable club, so mentally struggled to look down on a 'closed' face that I was holding square. It looked like the best loft option was 11.5 or 12.5. But we were slowly seeing my dispersion reduce. I hit plenty of topped/thinned/fat/slice shots. I then tried various options on head size, loft and face angle. The ball flew off with a carry of about 210y - which was good for the rainy and cold night. Once I warmed up, I readjusted to grip to negate the slice and there I got my money shot. When I hear a big sound, I hope to see the ball explode and take off to outer space, so when it can be a disappointing when the topped shot just gets on to the fairway. It makes the same sound even for non-centre hits, which is a bit disappointing. It makes a very solid & loud noise on contact - again this is personal preference, though I kind of liked it. But this is a problem that I am struggling with so can’t blame the tool.
My first shot was a massive slice, which started in New Malden and quickly made its way across the A3 to Wimbledon. I tried both the tour version and the 460cc heads. During my testing, the pros would make setting changes in under a minute.ģ) The money shot: My flightscope was showing club speed at anything between 88 to 92mph. The face can be set to open-neutral-closed. The loft goes from 8.5 to 12.5 with 1 degree steps. For both versions, the loft & face angle can be adjusted independently which is interesting. I assume both shafts provide the normal senior-regular-stiff options. (During his interview, Francesco mentioned that he initially used a 70g version, but after more testing he has moved to a 60g version). Another diff between the two is the shaft, the tour version comes in a 60g shaft while the proletariat version is a 50g version. I came across some video online where in the boffins from Nike say the tour version produces low spin and the pros prefer it. There are 2 head options the regular 460cc oversized and a tour 430cc tour version. I haven’t seen the size of the head cover, but there were a few oversized ones in Francesco Molinari's bag.Ģ) Options: There are few things that you can play with. I am sure once you get used to it, it will be fine. However, the words are in black and small, which means u will need to squint to see it. The words 'covert' is cleverly etched on the crown and it is the alignment line. After you set up, when you look down on the driver, it looks solid and you will confident - thankfully, it has a 'traditional' shaped crown. This can be demotivating at first, esp when this is probably the first thing you notice about the club (and on the first tee when you take the cover off). When you go to pick it up, it does look like only half a club.
Almost the same as when TM introduced the White. Some thoughts from my 'testing'ġ) First impression: I liked the metallic red but it will be bit marmite-esqe for people. I had the opportunity to hit the Nike Covert on Thursday during the launch event (Disclosure: I was invited for the event and will be given a Covert driver).
