Nike Golf Hyperadapt Storm-FIT Rain Jacket

There is a scene in the movie “The Incredibles” when Edna shows Helen Parr (a.k.a. Elastigirl) her updated supersuits for the family. They twist and turn and repel all kinds of threatening weaponry. On my honor, the first thought I had when I saw the picture below was “Cool, now I can be an Incredible.”

Nike Golf rolled out a new weather jacket today, the Hyperadapt Storm-FIT. Predicated on comfort, mobility and protection, it was worn by Nike Golf athlete Paul Casey during his June win at the Irish Open. At the coming 2013 British Open championship at storied Muirfield Golf Club in Gullane, Scotland, additional Nike Golf athletes will arm themselves against whatever rain, wind and cold the elements might throw their way.

Merritt Richardson, Nike Golf vice president of global golf apparel, explained that:

“Often, athletes will add a size to their rain jackets because they do not want to feel restricted by the fabric. This leads to a distracting, over-sized jacket that is not optimal for competitive play. The Hyperadapt jacket eliminates this issue by providing athletes the protection they need without sacrificing the performance benefits of a stretch pullover.”

Nike Golf insists that this jacket feels more like a sweater throughout the entire cut. The inner layer features no-sew technology to minimize chaffing. The flexible essence of the material reduces the crinkly sounds normally associated with bad-weather golf wear.

The Hyperadapt Storm-FIT arrives in half-zip and full-zip options. Both are available in black, cool grey and game royal; the full-zip adds armory slate to the palette choices.

With the emphasis on fit and flexibility, there might be concern among potential customers that the Hyperadapt Storm-FIT regarding permeability. According to the press release, “the Hyperadapt jacket is breathable and seam sealed for 100 percent waterproof protection. Adjustable cuffs offer a custom fit for increased protection and even less distraction giving athletes an advantage with every detail.”

Returning to “The Incredibles”, when Bob Parr (a.k.a. Mr. Incredible) discussed his new garb with Edna, he mentioned a predilection toward a cape. “No, no, no, NO. No cape!” was Edna’s response. The cape had seen better days (and cost several super heroes their lives, sadly.) It seems that the tent-like feel of old-school rain gear might have seen its final sunset, too.

If flexibility and impermeability can combine forces, we’ll all be superheroes with titanium drivers, especially in the bad weather.

The Hyperadapt Storm-FIT Rain Jacket Half Zip is available in stores now, and sells for around $240. It’s available in black, cool grey and game royal. The full zip sells for around $280, and is available in black, cool grey, game royal and armory slate.

Slab city on the Korn Ferry Tour — Lead Tape Report

This week, we have our Tour Photographer, Greg Moore, on the ground at the OccuNet Classic at Tascosa Golf Club in Amarillo, Texas, for the 14th event of the 2026 Korn Ferry Tour season. With that, we see some great things in the Lead Tape Report as we roll into Amarillo.

Joel Thelen

Monday Qualifier, Joel Thelen is in the field this week. He has played on the Korn Ferry Tour for a full season in 2023, and he is back in action this week. A couple of clubs caught my eye this week in his bag.

First off: His trusted Titleist 816 H2 hybrid. This club came out in October of 2015, and it still remains strong in the bag. Also, take a look at this Odyssey White Hot OG 7, putting a capital S in the 7S model. This custom neck has some impressive lean for an arm-lock-style putter. The bottom of the putter is covered in tape for optimal weighting.

Mitchell Meissner

Taking a look at Mitchell Meissner’s bag this week, we have some great lead tape coverage. Top to bottom working from fairway metals, irons, and wedges. We can see on the short irons and wedges that there is tape at the base of the grip, adding a little counterbalance. Along with that, some tape on the short irons and wedges as well. Moving to his putter, he rolls the Odyssey 7 Bird putter. Meissner putts left-handed and strikes the ball right-handed.

In our forums, one user has offered up a prompt for the true sickos, inviting fellow forum members to share every set of irons they’ve ever owned. As to be expected, this is a lengthy forum topic.

@Lamosteve began:

Can you name every set of irons you’ve owned? Here’s mine

Spalding Dots
Spalding Eclipse
Ram Lazer FX
Lynx Parallax
Mizuno EZ Comp
Ben Hogans
Cleveland CG Red
Taylor Made R9s
PING i20
PING iE1
Taylor Made M6

Our members in the forum have been offering up their own collections. Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.

macedan: “Started with a hand-me-down Golden Bear set from my brother when I was in high school, never really played more than once a year or got into the game until about summer of 2017. First purchased a set of Cleveland CG4’s (I actually really miss this set sometimes, soft & not terribly large for a GI iron), moved into Nike Vapor Fly’s by the end of the year. Those lasted until spring of 18 when I decided I wanted new, so I traded them in for TM Rbladez. Honestly, although I liked the Rbladez, poor decision on my part, I think this was really about the only time so far that after a week or two I was kicking myself for not staying with what I had. Rbladez stayed with me until late last summer when I switched to P790’s and (knock on wood) I am hoping this will be my longest lasting set.”
JimmyC59: “MacGregor Jack Nicklaus Triple Crown. Palmer The Standard. Still play these.”
