The Nike Vapor Iron collection of golf irons includes the Vapor Pro, Vapor Pro Combo and Vapor Speed, all of which aim to take golf iron performance to the next level. The three clubs cost $1,200, $1,320 and $960 respectively. The forward-looking collection of irons was unveiled by superstar Nike golfers Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy as well as talk show host and golf aficionado Jimmy Fallon.
The Vapor Irons feature a new Nike innovation called Modern Muscle. This is a modified standard muscle-back design that moves the iron's center of gravity to the middle of the clubface for more clean and efficient strikes.
These irons' designs are the work of Nike's ace club builder Mike Taylor.
