Nike to release Volt-colored driver

Published

Remember Michelle Wie’s custom Volt-colored Nike Vapor Speed driver she debuted in January, and currently has in the bag?

Soon, you will be able to buy one.

On May 4, the “Vapor Speed High-Visibility Volt Edition” driver will be available on Nike’s golf website, and May 8 at select retailers.

The driver was originally designed for Michelle Wie, but according to Nike, other athletes — like Paul Casey, who also uses one — and consumers expressed interest in the eccentric crown.

I have to admit I liked the rzn ball in that crazy yellow, could see it no problem 300 yards away. Why not buy the same colored driver to make it get there? I think it looks great. No one should drive into you with that in your bag. Safety first!

I love my Nike red and glad I bought them when I did. The green just doesn’t do it for me.

After seeing how much people knocked taylormade for white drivers, I’m surprised more people aren’t giving Nike grief for this. Double-standard.

I’ll take it, nothing beats adding a little more color to the game.

I have no problem with a company maeketing a new color for an existing product. How a club looks is a big part of it. I just don’t like when they tell methat look will make me hit the club better. If your into fluorescent yellow, then go for it.

Anyone who thinks some golf equipment companies are about anything more than marketing need look no further than this. I can think of another word starting with V that the volt colour reminds me of! Truly terrible.

  So don’t buy one. Something tells me that Nike does ok with their product marketing!

Slab city on the Korn Ferry Tour — Lead Tape Report

Published

Andrew Von Lossow

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.

Name every set of irons you’ve owned – GolfWRXers discuss

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.”
