legendary University of Oregon Track and Field Coach and one of his athletes, Phil Knight. The original plan was to import Japanese track shoes, but they soon began developing their own designs.

As Nike expanded into virtually every field of athletic endeavor, it was only natural that they also get into golf. And when Tiger Woods announced his presence to the world in a Nike ad in 1996, the company was on its way in the golf business.

While I’m not a huge fan of Nike balls—and havent’ had much of a chance to try their equipment—I really like their clothing. I was reminded of this the other day when I got my cold weather golf gear out and found five Nike mock turtlenecks among them. They’re warm and are cut just right for playing golf. I also wear for skiing and other wintry outdoor activities (like shoveling the driveway.) I’ve got a date with a course this Wed, and will be wearing one of them for sure.

Nike’s new Ignite putters feature a full face polymer insert that is 85% lighter than steel. This allowed Nike to restribute weight to the perimeter, making the clubface more stable through impact. The face is CNC milled for a consistent surface.

The Ignite putters come in four styles, including blade and mallet types.

Nike SV Wedges

NIKE SV Wedge

The Nike golf juggernaut rolls on with the release of a new line of tour level wedges: the Nike SV.

These clubs are constructed from 8620 carbon steel, which is 45% softer than 17-4 stainless and have a CNC milled face for shot precision. Nike says that the grooves, using what they call the Optimal Radium spin, are designed to increase the golf ball’s spin. The design features a sharper top groove for more control around the green.

And no weird sling bars or such for these babies: they have a classic shape and satin finish.

Nike Ignite Golf Ball


NIKE Ignite Golf Ball

The Nike Ignite is a three peice ball that Nike says is for the player who likes low spin, penetrating flight and longer distance.

I’m curious about the marketing of this one, though. The Ignite name belongs to a club that is—well— “so last year.” It seems to me that real marketing genius would be to offer a club and a matching ball at the same time. And from a technological standpoint, wouldn’t it be nice to ahve a ball that is designed to take advantage of the properties of a particular driver or irons set.

Nonetheless, this is a ball that I’m going to try as soon as the weather warms up.

Basic Golf Shirt Review

Basic Golf Shirt Grade: A Teacher’s Comments: It would get an A plus, but it’s too “hip” for this 40-something guy. (Is “hip” even a term anymore?) The Basic Golf Shirt isn’t. Basic, that is. Rather, it’s a high quality, reasonably priced—and dare I…
