Business in the front… party in the back, and as you can tell the new Nike VR_S Covert driver is far more stylish than that feathered mullet you so proudly rocked back in the 90s. The Nike V_RS Covert Driver is Nike’s newest and most ambitious driver design since the integration of their STR8-FIT technology a few years ago and will soon be available in two variations; Tour 430cc and Covert 460cc. The Covert’s design may be out of this world, but it somehow remains USGA and R&A rules conforming. The (deep) high-speed cavity back is said to deliver increased stability at impact and greater distance overall. Additionally, Nike has outfitted the VRS Covert with their new FlexLoft adjustability and their patented NexCOR face, which are said to work hand-in-hand to create unprecedented distance, control and forgiveness.
