Nike Golf Unveils New Premium Hybrids in the Victory Red Line

TORONTO (October 15, 2009)--Nike Golf is introducing a new hybrid that has been developed as a result of the meticulous work done by Nike's team of engineers along with Nike's talented athletes on Tour - the Victory Red (VR) Hybrids

The VR Hybrids, as with the entire VR line, convey beauty, refinement and premium sophistication.  Created to perform for the best players in the world, the VR Hybrids feature a Tour-inspired design that enhances the power of physics.  To optimize workability and distance, Nike Golf has slightly opened the face angle and shifted the centre of gravity.

"We have accomplished what we wanted to with these hybrids," said Tom Stites, Director of Club Creation for Nike Golf.  "We wanted to achieve a higher launch angle with significantly less spin. We've done that through altering the face angle and finding the proper centre of gravity measurements."

To achieve longer distance, the VR Hybrids feature a 455 Ultra Thin Face with Nike's distinctive Split Compression Channel that also exists in the VR STR8-FIT Fairway Woods.

Availability: February 1, 2010 at golf shops and specialty stores across Canada.
