Nike Golf Iron Rebuild 

Happy to see my VR's every day!!! 😀

Those irons, especially the MBs were the second nicest feeling irons I’ve ever hit. Also tons of grooves on them too, which was a unique look

I’ve just purchased the full bladed set including the rare 2 iron. The feel is incredible off of them! I can imagine a nice fitted graphite shaft in the 2 iron being a force to be reckoned with.

Thank you for sharing, these long videos are awesome and preferred. I learn new things and get more understanding on building clubs, especially the tips and lessons learned you state during the build very helpful.

Love this style video! Showing the entire process is awesome.

I love your channel, thanks for all the great info. Will continue to watch 👍🏼

Excelkent video AJ. Liked the tip about the grip when swingweighting 👍👍

Brings back memories, used to play the VR2 Pro, the xtra n tighter grooves really gives it consistency n spin off bad lies. 1 of the best soft feeling MBs and much easier to hit than the TW version Nike brought out

Awesome rebuild. I think red grips would have matched better.

I enjoyed it for sure. I actually had a set of those in the past😎

craftmanship!

Just discovered the bb&f ferrules on a set of Nike vapor forged pro combos for sale on ebay, look real good, especially with all the paint fill removed on the heads. I think Nike golf clubs are gaining "cult" like status. Whenever they come up for sale in a local used sporting goods store they are gone within a few days. Great job on these, sure would have liked to seen the lie angle adjustment though.

Sub 70…big ups

loved it, length was great.....that's what she said! sorry couldn't help it

Why don't you add the ferrule in swing weighting as well? Aren't the Ferrules like 4-8grams?

Hi AJ, great video! Do you prefer air installing grips or solvent installing? Also, when air installing do you use regular grip tape or some other type of tape? Thanks for the video. It's very informative.

BB&F is a great company

Great content. Where did you get your glass solvent container for the acetone you use in your club builds? Is there an official name for it? Thanks in advance.

Cool video, AJ. As far as swing weight measuring goes, isn’t that what the plastic piece used to catch the ungripped shaft is for? It aligns the shaft so that it sits roughly 1/8 of an inch away from the true butt end of the scale. Then you simply place the grip up against the butt on the ledge underneath where the end of the shaft sits.

I have a question about taper tip shafts and flex Project x 6.0 steel What would the flex change to if I put the 5 iron shaft in the 6 iron and then of course cut it to 6 iron length. Looking to get to 5.5

AJ I love watching your content as you are super gifted at what you do with golf clubs. Seeing the Golfsmith logo on your equipment took me back as far as those irons. Quick random question for you I have two identical length T1100 even flo white 6.5 X flex shafts. I have one as a backup for my TSI3 driver. I weighed both shafts and one weighs 133 grams and the other weighs 143 grams. Again they’re identical length, have the same exact grip, the same amount of tape, and the same Titleist adapter.. What I’m wondering… is all other things equal what will the 10 gram difference in these shafts do from a performance standpoint for me? I’m about 110 mph swing speed, generate about 162 mph ball speed, and carry my drives around 270 yards.. Oddly enough I’ve been playing with the lighter shaft… but I’m wondering again same spec for two shafts.. the manufacturer has the same printing on those shafts but there’s 10 g difference in the weight. What would I expect to see trying the heavier shaft which I can only associate with manufacturer’s tolerance? Thanks AJ! Love your channel.

this is off topic, but I figured that since you are the man, you probably will know. Lately I've committed to getting more fit, and in the process regaining some swing speed that I've naturally lost from becoming an old fart. I'm still longer than my peers, but I still want more. I thought I would buy the SuperSwing speed trainers, but in my never ending DIY mentality, I thought it would be silly to buy something like that when I have shafts, grips and heads coming out my ying yang at home with plenty of epoxy and miscellaneous hardware. I have an idea of what I'm going to do, but am having trouble finding the actual head weights of the 3 individual swing trainers. I know they are much lighter than what would normally be on that length shaft. do you know the head weights for the swing trainers? how would you go about it if it were you? maybe this would be an idea for a video for you.

Do you have any experience with Sub 70? Noticed the box on your bench... I have a set of the 699 Pro irons and love them. Would love to see you feature them and give them some love.

I have a quick question..... I bought a set of Hogans about a year ago, and I do love them. Sort of sad they went belly up. Anyway, I started to get ferrule creep with my driver within a couple months. my last golf outing, I noticed the same with some of my short irons. Now, none of the heads feel loose and none of the ferrules seem loose when I try to move them with my fingers, however, they obviously are loose or they wouldn't be separating. Do you have a video tutorial on how to fix this? in the past, when something like this happened, the fix was easy because I could move the ferrule by hand and snug it up, but I don't want to go through removing head and replacing ferrule or damaging the existing ferrule.

Cool vid. I’m re building a half set of DCI Gold. shaft on the PW is bust. No 9 or 7 but i I can get a a good PW 8 6 4 out of all of them. I’ll use the 5 and 3 as donors. My only problem will be swing weighting. Can I get away with not doing it?

I have a demo head similar to that model. Is there any way to fit a shaft to the head without using a demo shaft?

odd color choice on those bb&f's, you'd think you'd want to go Tiger Victory Red stripes on those....

I have 2009 Nike VR Split cavity back Irons, can you tell me the size of ferrules to use from BB&F

I'm curious: Why not just air-install the real grip for swing weighting?

What size are the ferrules?

Nike dropped the ball when they stopped making classic looking clubs that most players prefer. The Victory Red releases were the best clubs Nike ever made. I currently game a set of VR forged pro combos. There are still many sets in great condition available, and an opportunity for people in the secondhand market to get premium clubs without having to pay premium prices.

Any plans to apply your investigative skill to Autoflex iron shaft?

Can i do a custom bbnf ferrule on ping irons

thats called an "undercut cavity"
