    That's weird...the USGA list of conforming drivers has an all black head, not red.

    Lots of videos and pictures here.
    I would like to try the driver and the hybrid, not sure I would buy them but I would love to try them out.
    Obviously you're not a golfer.

    Thanks for the link B68. I agree - I'd like to try them, but not sure I would buy them. I guess I can't fault Nike for being innovative.

    I would venture to guess that if it's as good as they claim it to be it will be in his bag...especially seeing as he's the new big talent for the Swoosh brand. It's fairly classic looking from the top...

    I was told that this is just a black and white image. The head is in fact red.

    I think Rory will for $20million a year. I don't really like the swoosh on the crown but might get used to it.

    driver seems pretty nice, definitely like the adjustable loft on all the clubs, could make it easier to set up for playing certain courses or certain conditions. not a fan of the swoosh on the crown but i'm sure i could get used to it. the irons are awful. they should have used the adjustable loft system for those too. my bag could be so much lighter.

    I'm gonna guess that any Nike-staffer who played a square driver will try to put this into the bag. Tiger and Rory will stick to more Nike's more 'traditional' drivers and claim that the Covert is "too straight" for their game.

    Summary:
    The Mac power driver is the best driver I have ever owned. It is even better than my Ping driver. I can get at least another 30-50 yards from my drives.

    I remember seeing that M.A.C. Powersphere at SportChek years ago for cheap. I ended up with a TM R580DX instead. How did that thing sound when hit?

    If the Covert doesn't sound too bad, it may stick around longer than the squares did. Or the squares could come back with a cavity.
