- I bought the driver that Tiger Woods HATED
In this video PGA Golf Professional Rick Shiels puts the infamous 1ST EVER Nike Forged 400cc driver to the test. The Nike Driver was bought from the online auction site ebay for £50 and was from the year 2002/2003!
The driver was known for being Nike's first ever golf driver and was used by David Duval & Tiger Woods on The PGA Tour.
Watch until the end to see if Rick Shiels can hit this NIKE driver over 300 yards!

“We’ll take it out, we’ll give it a smash, then we’re going to come back inside and take a look at some numbers. And you might actually be surprised. I know I was.”
I remember reading an article by the designer who said they sent Tiger 3 identical clubs and Tiger sent a note back saying he "liked the heavy one". They had to weigh each one to find out that one of the clubs was only a fraction heavier than the other two. I tried the clubs when they first came out and went back to my Callaway "Hawkeye" driver.
this was my first driver when i was like 13 yrs old, i won a hole in one competition to have enough money to buy it, and absolutely loved it
@Quinten Vanneste wot?
@Quinten Vanneste that's true you got me, you are so wise
Quinten Vanneste fuck you
a golf channel was the last place i thought there would be some toxic guy in the comment section hahahah
@Quinten Vanneste it's a kink of mine, really hits the spot lying about stuff
Rick’s Common Quotes:
Absolutely
Right, now
Not the best start
Hit well
I mean .you absolutely have to include "smash that like"
“We’ll take it out, we’ll give it a smash, then we’re going to come back inside and take a look at some numbers. And you might actually be surprised. I know I was.”
“Absolutely Crushed It”
Be Good
Un-bee-leeeevable!
Now you need to do a back to back with the titleist that Tiger replaced it with.
My dad still has this driver in the bag and he loves it. I gave him my old M3 but he hits the nike so much better than the M3. Shows that using the "lastest and greatest" equipment isnt always the best thing to do.
Thanks for one more interessting video. I remember from the early 00's, that Tiger was playing a big tournament, where he didn't use his driver
very often. Instead he burned most of the courses with his T60 3-wood, where most of the other players were using their driver. I remember that
this T60 panzerwagon nearly became legendary. I bought a T60 4-wood on sale, used it often from tee, and I loved this wood for many years.
I wish that you can make a little video about that T60 "Tank".
Just imagine if Tiger had stuck with Titleist...🤔
Evan Snyder I they would cost even more! And Tiger wouldn’t be so athletic!
Tiger is not a sell out. Nike made whatever Tiger wanted. If it was not what Tiger wanted they would adjust it.
Rory was playing much better with Titleist as well before he swapped to Nike.
Or Rory stuck with them in 2011
I still drive a Nike vapor fly pro and still have not have no driver to beat it match it yes beat it no
Every Nike club I ever hit in a store was absolutely awful. Then they seemed to finally start getting it right with the Vapor line right as they got out of the market. I only tried the Vapor on the recommendation of a Golfsmith employee after he said the contact felt good and they felt like they created spin. I was impressed and then the following year (I think) they got out.
When I got serious about golf, that was my first driver. Full Nike set thanks to tiger. Gosh, totally forgot about this driver. Thanks for the nostalgia!
I had one of these. It was my first driver (other than the wooden one my dad cut down for me).I cleaned out my uncles garage and he gave it to me. I couldn't keep it in the fairway. :) One day when I was 14, the head snapped off at the range and outdrove the ball. The proshop had a Titleist 905 demo that they let me use for the round. Been bombing it down the middle ever since.
Been with a 905 S for about a decade. Tried all the new drivers with when they come into the pro shop with all their bells and whistles and I'll never get rid of he 905. Ever.
Lol .never returned it huh.
I picked up one of those at a thrift shop recently for $4. I bought it as an interim driver after mine broke and I was saving up to replace it. I honestly enjoyed hitting it really! It's not bad. I have the 10.5 degree loft though so it's a bit shorter and more forgiving. But yeah, fun little piece of kit.
That was my first decent driver in 2001, and I played it until this year, when I got properly fitted and bought the Cobra F9. That's when I discovered that I had been sold a "D" type head. Explained a lot over the years. Still have my beloved blue (in 3 metal as well).
how much farther you hitting the new one? I'm about to be fitted next weekend for the first time and I'm playing the same thing lol
Watching some Tiger interviews, I learned that he uses different parts of the face in order to shape the ball. I can see how he will be unhappy if the face punishes him for doing what he does best.
Spot on comment!
I actually played one of these back when new. It was AWFUL.
Me too...The head had no feel and sounded dead and the shaft was garbage
The 1st Nike drivers were the 275 and I wanna say 350...the 400 and 450 came out a year or two later...the 275 was awful...I heard the 350 was decent
You should review the Nike sumo against the new drivers
I had one too, I remember it felt heavy and clunky
Here from the Instagram live 🙌 this driver was a piece of work 😂
Played these 3 and 5 woods for like 12 years and loved em lol
Truly enjoy your videos. The teaching videos, the club comparisons, testing of old and new equipment, just messing about and all done with objectivity and a sense of fun. Helps during this Covid 19 shut in.
Dude, the garage academy simulator is looking great! Loved the build video you did for it 👍🏻
Hi Rick, get the original Killer Whale that John Daly used to hit and see how you get on. I remember when they came out and we used to wonder how to hit something so big😂😂😂. It would barely be a three wood now😂😂😂
I remember looking at that driver in the shop and thinking wow those were the days lol love the videos and keep safe Rick👍🏻❤️
I love how much fun you have with golf. You are not afraid to laugh when you hit a bad shot or get excited when you absolutley pure one down the fairway. keep up the great videos.
Me: so this driver is really forgiving?
Nike: Well yes but actually no.
I’m a little high rn, and he said “warm-up shots, I thought he said Walmart shots
Mr. Fredrikson yo I’m high too
Lmfao
@Les Moore Yes! Now that's funny! Guarantee most people don't get that.
I'm at sea level
I used that driver for all of high school AND won our district tournament with it, honestly LOVED it back then 💯💯
Thank you RICK, for what youre doing. A few of your lessons helped me card an 81 today at my favorite course. I played at HYLAND GOLF COURSE, Southern Pines, N.C.
Thanks again, and keep up the wonderful videos. Also loved the video you did on the CALLOWAY EDGE UNISEX GOLF PACKAGE/SET.
I wonder how much difference using a ball from back then would also make on the distance you’re hitting it?
@@chickenclips Spin is one of the main reasons a ball would go further so.
@@chickenclips Well you're wrong, so maybe you should look up the dynamics of ball flight.
Josh Lynch lol what an idiot
@@TheChellCountryV2 I know, maybe if he learned how spin affects distance right?
There’s no difference in ball from when Tiger was using driver, to now. Still using a balata. That’s what he was known for.
It looks just like a Mizuno Pro 300S which was in the region of 300-320cc in headsize. These drivers were part of the early evolution from steel to titanium with high COR (“spring face”) technology. Compared with larger sized, multimaterial composite designs these days, the sweet area is small. That said, for old timers like me, it was massive back in 2000 when compared with persimmon heads!
Beautiful classic clubs, but like an expensive lady, best admired from a distance, but don’t touch! Thanks for a fun trip down memory lane. 😁
(Disclaimer: I am a 48yr old who plays off 7, still using a Mizuno 300S and MP33s which includes a 2-iron. Since my tournament days are well behind me, I haven’t ever felt a need to upgrade my set from 2002. And at my age, I’m content with 280 up the middle!).
When Nike came into the fold Tiger really busted out in late 90s. Nice edit bud. Love that simulator! I need me one for my vlogs.
Love it Rick - remember Woods used a x100 steel shaft in it and won a US Open with this driver. I will so happily take it off your hands....please!!!
stephen carlin i still play my Taylor made 200 steel with xstiff riffled steel shaft. Straightest driver i have ever played
I remember using that on Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2004
Yep!! Next year (my fav of the franchise) was the Ignite! Good times
pls upload one a day im bored and ur content is bomb
you understand how taxing one a day is yeah,,?
I loved the Nike SQ Sumo2 (round not square) wow that was an awesome driver.
Im loving this new hitting bay! I hope Rick continues to make some of the videos there.
Hi Rick a comment from sunny Spain , couldnt believe it when i saw this video !! i still have my 9.5 Nike driver in the bag and no plans to change ...... 17 years old and performs every time !
Played Valle de Este last week the driver still splits the fairways with exceptional distance. nice video Rick .....cheers
Thanks for keeping us entertained during these times, love your videos btw
Rick, you need to compare the old Cobra SS unlimited driver (with the illegal MOI) with new drivers. Would love to know how it compares.
I was pushing for you. Super fun video!
Great to see this club venturing onto your channel. I’ve still got this and a 4 wood in my bag. Granted I don’t get out to play much nowadays so haven’t bothered changing it but I think I’d keep the 4 wood as it’s so easy to hit off the deck. I’ve always wondered if it was just my driver but does the face sit slightly closed on these when grounded? Compared to every other driver I’ve tried the face sits more closed than any of them.
I love watching the videos with the old Nike drivers being compared to the newer ones. Although the club is illegal, I would really like to see how the Nike 460+ Limited Edition would do.
HAd one of these. Bought it used in a Golf Galaxy for $50 back in 2005 or so. What I didnt realize at the time was that whoever had it before me put an OG Speeder 757 in it. I loved that club. SOme of the best drives Ive ever hit in my life were with that club. One day the shaft broke about 5 inches above the hosel. Ive been chasing that dragon ever since
You are the best man, and are synonymous with golf now for me and my friends who golf. If you’re ever in NJ, come to Tamarack and I’ll treat you to both there 18 holes. The east course has been closed for almost 2 years and is about to open back up.
Thanks for the endless quality content 🍻
My neighbor gave me one that he won when I was 12. I still have it with it’s original shaft and hit it occasionally I can push it out about 290 yards.
Hey Rick, it would be awesome if you can test the drivers that were in production that year the Nike driver come out. A throw back Thursday special.
Super different video, love the twists you take on the channel!
Most people forget how good David Duval was.
59 says it all
Huge fan there is a lot of things that you and Peter Finch show that help me with my golf set up and striking
The first time I was ever fitted for a driver was with Nike.........he put me in an 8* Sasquatch....x flex.......I was stunned but brother did that driver ever work for me.......300+ like one out of 3 shots.......had it for years !!!
Good throw back video. Rick, what clubs were you hitting back in the photo you showed?
I used to game the nike ignite back in the day, I loved it.
Great video like always. Can you do a video on the Nike Sasquatch Sumo Driver. The one that was banned. It sounds like a metal bat.
Great film. Good to see enthusiasm and realism. Nice bloke. Oh, and his swing is quite good too..
I have this driver and still chuck it in the bag for fun every now and again. Won a couple of longest drive society comps with it back in the day!! Love it.
I got one in 9.5* not long after they were introduced - not b/c of the brand or pros using it, but b/c as I recall the price dropped to the basement pretty soon after it came out.
Just stopped using it last September moved to an M2. Still got it. Rick nailed it. If you didn't hit it right it went everywhere.
I had this driver back in 2003/4. I broke the stock shaft after a few months and refitted it with a rifle steel. I've never hit a driver more consistently than that driver...and the sound...iconic.
Wow tiger hitting 290+ as an average with the older balls seems so much more impressive! Great video
He was actually hitting the driver much further than that. Back then they calculated your driving distance by picking out a couple holes a round where they figured guys would use driver and just average the numbers out. Well Tiger didn't always use driver at those holes cause of his length so his "stinger" or 3 wood would get counted as a "drive" even though it wasn't a driver. If you actually just used his driver it would be over 300. I was just watching the 02 US Open where he used this and when hitting driver he was routinely carrying over 300 with 320+ being the total distance and that was hitting into tight fairways with a more controlled swing.
I bet Tiger was easily swinging 125+ back then.
I’ve had this driver for something like 16 years. Still in my bag. Absolutely love it. As mentioned, so simple, and I loved the smaller head. I easily smashed this one over 300 (sometimes 350 at altitude) as a teenager and student. But mine is 9.5 degree. I’ve hit other drivers, but just never got used to bigger heads.
Thanks for sharing!
PLEASE do a video on the obscenely loud Nike Sumo 2 square driver from way back when!
I know someone still playing that driver.
I had this driver and at the time it was as long as any driver on the market. I averaged about 280 with that. My taylor made 320 was 15 yards less. Of course I Switched away from it 2 years later for the titleist. I believe that Nike came with a fujikawa shaft witch became my 1st choice till the nv shaft. Nice job. When I bought it it was bigger easier to go up than down in size. So good on you Rick
I just loved my Powerbuilt Citation persimmons and I won many long drive contests at 300-340. !!! I didn't change until my faces wore down to a point that they were at 5* and unplayable.......tested many new ones and ended up with GBB 8* and gave me similar distance !!
I don't think you paid too much Rick. That driver looks like it is in pretty mint condition!! Fun video for sure!
I still use the 3 and 5 wood from this series. great clubs.
so do i
Great fun looking back Rick, I had a Nike driver back when I restarted playing golf, never had second shots off the fairway😥⛳️
Rick. I e told you this before. I joined Rishton Golf club. I got my hands on a half set of Titleist, golf clubs and only half a set or least, I in the day of proper Ladies handicapping. From starting as ladies did in the day from 36 *P. I dropped my handicap in that first year, from 36*P down to 17. My dad then said, he’d take me to Golf world at Preston, to trade in my half set, for a full set. As it turned out, the Titelist clubs I’d been using were kinda out of whack and bent??? The man at American Golf ⛳️ in Preston, Lancashire, found it it hard, I’d dropped from 36 *P to 17 with the half set of iffy clubs, I had actually been playing with? The my dad and I went to American Golf in Preston for my first proper full set of irons. They were, Yashuda. Never heard from them?? But eventually dropped to a handicap of 8. While having multiple knee, hip and back surgeries. Never mind two new hips. For my 40th Birthday. All my family chipped in to buy me my very first big boy clubs. I bought them, from a chap, leading in too Booths car park at Windermere. We had to go in the road to see how they swung for me!!!!!!! He was really super impressed with my swing, even more so, when I’d tell him, I hadn’t had lessons. The clubs, were Big Berths. They felt, just so natural and perfectly weighed for my swing. I loved the feeling from the start. My mum, dad and sister payed for these clubs. I recon I’ve used them in total, 5 times?!?!?!? It’s flipping heart 💔 breaking, having them in my front room. I’m 54 in June this year!!!!!!! I really and have to play at least something, looking like Golf??? I’ve missed it sooooo much, it’s actually surprised me??? Fingers Crossed for this year. Please keep me in your thoughts and prayers, to give my body the Umh, to keep going. I thank you all, from the bottom of my heart 💔 for your help and best wishes. Stay Safe all of you. Take Care and God Bless, one and all. 💔💕❤️👍😇💖🙏
Great vid sir! I am a fan of the old school drivers. Just before Christmas I picked up a Ping Zing Karsten 1 Wood! I am a fan of the sound the old wooden woods make...crack!
Me by 4:27: "Hit the **** ball!"
yeh me too
Pretty sure Tiger's had a steel shaft, and probably at 43". Not an accurate comparison. But I loved your video anyway!!
I had one of these right after it came out. It was a hook machine and I have learned the shaft wasn't stiff enough. It wasn't long either. My current driver is the epic sub zero with a rogue max 85gram x flex shaft.
I still hit mine. My high school coach was sponsored by them and got great deals on equipment. When he bought something and didn’t like it, he would just sell it to one of us on his team for what he got it at. I played regularly through HS and sporadically in the military. Now I’m getting back into the game regularly and still hit it decent. I won’t lie though, I’m likely to “upgrade” soon.
Rick, the home sim’ looks like a winner for Homes and Gardens’ “UK’s Best Quarantined At Home Golf Simulators”. You may have to redecorate the range when this is all over! Keep doing what you do!
It would be fun if you could find the model of Titleist driver he switched to and do a comparison
Man Everytime you swing your driver in there I flinch every time because I feel like your going to hit your ceiling 😂😂😂
Haha hopefully not
Nice video Rick! How about doing one with really old club.
Next step, two, three clubs from the early 90th Start with; Tommy Armour 845s Silver scot Allt the woods and the irons?! The video after that you can take the early 80th. Perhaps Macgregor cg 1800 Jack Nicklaus cavity back iron and the early titanium woods?! (We can go on forever...) Plenty of old gems out there (the irons - most would go right in the anybody's bag, no problem at all) and plenty of woods nobody use anymore (for good reason.) But still interesting to see how far you can hit them.
Why not give it a shot?! I bet you can fins 3-4 set of old irons for the low, the middle and the high handicapper.
Give people a chance to learn the best bargain they can find according to you.
I would love to see you do the same with the king cobra deep face that tiger turned pro using. Complete with steel shaft.
That would be cool
After a year and a half of playing my Grandpa's crappy hand me downs, my parents bought me that driver for Christmas in 97. They also got me a set of Tommy armour irons as well. Anyway that was my first non persimmon driver and I thought it was awesome. Held onto it all throughout high school and my first two years of University.
I've been playing this driver since 2003. I still love it.
I have a 7 handicap, but I’m stuck, I would love to see a video of breaking 70 and a breaking 80 video... also would LOVE to see a video on mentality of how you get over bad shots or tough holes, etc. mental golf is so important and I feel you’ll see a big spike in views.
I own the 9 degree 300cc model with a Graphaloy blue xstiff and I hit it to this day around 300 on average. bought it in 2002 when I was 15. Still love it...don't think I could bring myself to buy another club.
I’d love to see a video of all the clubs you own
I had this back in the day. I absolutely hated the feel and performance. Don’t think I kept it in the bag for more than a year. I remember going to an old Titleist 975d the same summer. Never looked back. Cool to see this review!
I rock a Nike driver mostly because I love seeing folks around me look around confused about who's hitting dingers with an aluminum bat at the golf course.
Great video rick!👍 i sent this to tiger to see his response😂
I bought that driver in 2003 along with the 5 wood. Played the driver until 2013 and I still have the 5 wood in my bag today
Still got this driver under the stairs. 10.5 degrees, stiff shaft and pretty sure its 360cc. Wish I knew I could have got 50 quid for it off Rick 😂
I had a 450cc at 10.5 degrees, its a great driver.
I actually had this Driver in a 9 degree with a rifle 6.5 steel shaft in it! I did loose about 10-20 yards distance on it, but man the control I had with it was just brilliant, but as we do I fancied a chance ended up with a burner tour driver got mad distance with no control regretted getting rid of the Nike so much! Loved that driver!!
I still play the Nike Vapor irons. Played the Nike blade irons prior to these. I also have the F7 one length and played the Callaway Razor X irons too.
THANKS FOR ALL THE VIDEOS! You the man Rick!
Test the nike ignite driver. I think you’d be surprised with it
Still have the head from my Ignite 410. Probably the most consistent driver I've ever hit.
Another great video Rick!!! Keep them coming
You should do 9 holes with Tiger's '97 Masters irons. He had a mixed set of Mizuno MP-14s in the shorter irons, and MP-29s in the longer ones. I am not sure where the break was. That would be a great vid.
Rick, you must have so many clubs now!!
I think I saw in your Q&A session with the Bad Golfers that you said you have 100s!
How about showing us your collection at some point?
The highlights, the favourites, the ones that promided so much but just never really performed - and the stuff you'd completely forgotten you had!!
(Are you even able to get access during lockdown?)
Cheers.
and the balls would have been a lot different, just goes to show how good Tiger was... loved to see more of this content while we're in lockdown...
Golfpigs I wish Tiger would do an interview talking about all his old equipment and what he liked and didn’t such as this, and stuff from his titleist days when he arguably was playing his best
I remember when this club looked humongous! Times sure have changed! I started with the wooden drivers! Peerless was the bomb back in the day! A blonde peerless was beautiful!
I love Nike Golf. I still use their original forged blades and Xex wedges!
Wow you stepped in it on that last shot you probably would’ve hit your cobra 320 with the same swing. I remember when Taylor made came out with the burner. Technology is a wonderful thing as long as you have your fundamentals down. Be safe my friend!
I think (I might be wrong) Nike poached the top guy at Calaway. It might be interesting comparing it the Calaway drivers released just before.
I used to go to Golf Galaxy or the PGA Superstore or something and find the oldest looking driver they had and see if I could hit it 300 yards. Best I've done was with an old Titleist 983k which was a year after this Nike driver that I hit just over 300. Fun to see the difference over time. Distance hasn't increased a tremendous amount due to clubs, but the forgiveness is night and day.
I hadone of these, though may be the non 'pro' model. Mine actually has a 400cc stamp on it. Still have it.
jarrodbrush that’s a slightly later version 👍🏻
What shaft was stock for this OG driver? Which one was in your driver Rick? Thanks for throwback video!
