Two Nike Vapor drivers hit the USGA Conforming List
Photos of what appeared to be Nike’s new 2015 Vapor drivers started circulating recently leading to speculation about models and specs.
On Tuesday, two new Nike Vapor drivers — a “Pro” and a “Speed” — hit the USGA Conforming List, verifying the authenticity of the recent photo leaks. There’s also rumored to be a Nike Vapor “Flex” driver, with an adjustable cartridge, which has yet to appear on the conforming list. That means the new Nike Vapor line will most likely consist of three different models (Pro, Speed and Flex).
Note: Although the photos of the drivers on the conforming list are black-and-white, it is assumed all models will come equipped with a lime green color scheme, which Nike calls “Volt” in its Vapor iron line.
See what GolfWRX members are saying about the Vapor products in the forums.

The two new Vapor drivers hit the conforming list the same day Rory McIlroy was spotted testing out a Nike Vapor driver at the Ryder Cup. Check out the photos of Rory testing a new Vapor driver, with a Diamana Blue Board shaft. This means McIlroy is legally allowed, if he chooses, to play the 2014 Ryder Cup with one of the conforming Nike Vapor drivers.

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.

speed: $299
Pro: $399
flex: $499+?
The flex seems awesome with tons of technology, just hope the price isn’t outrageous..

Wouldn’t the R&A equipment rules apply since the Ryder Cup is in Scotland? USGA doesn’t have jurisdiction.

I heard that they were going to release a Fixed hosel. I really hope that happens. I prefer the feel of fixed hosel and I know im not alone.

makes little to no difference unless you did not screwed it properly – then it winges all the time!!!

I concur. 99% of amateurs have NO clue on how the adjustable works. In fact, I will say 99.9%.

You’re dumb if you truly believe that. Adjustable hosels should be used for proper fitment and then left alone. There might be a few instances where you’d want to play with it, but only those who really know their swing and are seeking a specific ball flight should bother. The fact is, most people won’t spend the money or time to get properly fitted and probably leave it in the stock setting. If that’s what you were trying to convey, then I guess I agree with you, but you’re statement is ripe with arrogance.

*rife, not ripe. But I agree with the rest of what you said.

Here’s the thing about adjustable clubs. What good are they if your swing is to inconsistent to deliver the club to the ball in a consistent manner. Most amateurs swing path can change significantly from one swing to the next. The adjustable hosel was one of Taylormade’s original gimmicks to sell drivers and got enough market share to force other companies to follow suit. If anything adjustable hosels may be bad because they encourage poor mechanics. As far as weather you can feel the difference, I doubt it but personally I don’t like the way they look.

You can absolutely tell the difference, BUT the adjustments aren’t actually doing what the sleeve tells you. There is no hozzle adjustment that actually adjusts the loft of the club. In fact, the only thing that ever did was the face angle adjustment on the R1.

Isn’t it just white because these are black and white photos? It’s probably still volt.

If they were black & white photos there would likely be a shade of gray instead of white to convey that color is present. These are most likely color photos featuring black & white driver heads.

No TR1PTlk is right they are color photos. The green would show up as a shade of grey if they where black and white photos.
Jeremy

They’re black and white photos for sure. The green is showing up as a shade of grey.
With digital processing, the green could be any value of luminance from black to white. As it is, volt is a fairly light color and this looks about like what it should when converted to B&W.
bradford
Sep 25, 2014 at 7:14 am
Hole up something white next to the image and tell me again that it’s not a shade of grey…AND–in B&W photography, the lightest color will always show as white. That would be the Volt in this case anyway.

I definitely like the white on this driver better than the volt color Nike’s going to be selling, but I’ll buy either way if I have the money and the numbers look good. Definitely leaning toward the Pro version (especially if it’s 460cc).
