    Wishing I still had a set right now tbh.

    The Vrs irons bring back so many memories. Those bad boys were the easiest irons I’ve ever hit. I still play the vapor fly irons which are the last set Nike made. I don’t see myself switching into something newer anytime soon.

    Nike VR forged 3-pw.Very underrated irons. Nike nailed it with this set. Classic look and absolutely worth it if you can find a set in good condition.

    I have a set of Nike Vapor speed irons, I prefer to play with them over my M6 irons and 790 irons. I like how Nike made their club heads on their irons more bulky and stiff compared to other irons. I think Nike’s golf clubs were in their peak or prime during the 2014-2016 era.

    Currently playing the Nike SQ Machspeed Black square driver. It's pretty loud compared to more recent drivers but I hit it straighter and more consistently than other drivers. Used to play the Nike VRS irons, but am currently playing Taylormade P790.

    I got a set of VRS Covert on sale new for $125. Even though they had the wrong flex shaft in them I still bought them. They are long and hit the ball very high. Love those irons. Still play them and haven’t restarted them yet. Lol

      It's crazy because I'm starting to see their clubs at flea markets and stuff. It's weird to see such a premium brand act almost like an antique at this point. They made good stuff, it sucks they quit 😭

      Nike really screwed themselves by signing those players so much money. They had such amazing products with a notable brand to back it up.
