Nike Ignite 410
I am a true equipment buff. Have used the Titleist 975J (85 ProForce) then the Nike 350 (x-stock). I hit the Nike very strait but not much longer than the 975J. I went to a demo week at Hilton Head Island, and hit every driver on the market. At this time of the year my swing was pretty close to the best it has ever been. Which was ideal for testing clubs. The new drivers availible were all solid feeling clubs that seemed to give me about another 5 or so yards compared to my 350 Nike. But it wasn't until the last day they had Nike. I never hit a driver better then the 410 8.5 X-stiff. I was completely blown away at the jump the Nike company had made from the 350. It was a completely different club. The Nike rep actually had people watching me hit it as demonstration. Unfortunately I could not talk them into giving me the club for demonstrating. I finally got it as a graduation/birthday gift from my father. The first time I took it to the course I was a little excited and therefor I put a little extra in ever swing. I hit 10 of 14 fairways and an average drive of 330 yards, with a max of 365. That was insane. Since then I have slowed my swing down for consistency and am averaging 310. Which is up 10 yards from my average with the 350 Nike. I am very impressed with this club and I think it is the best availible, in a close second is the TaylorMade r7 TP. Save a few bucks and get the Nike you'll love it. Similar Products Used: TaylorMade r7, Callaway Fusion |

Nike Ignite 410 9.5 stiff
I demoed this driver the other day on the course. I've just sold my Taylor Made 360xd and my r580 hasn't arrived yet, so I needed something to hit. Now, my swing speed is in the low 90mph's, so not particularly fast, but even I found this shaft a bit soft. I know when a shafts too firm for me, as some stiff's are, because I can't get the ball in the air. With this club, I couldn't keep it down. Distance suffered as a result of a launch angle that was just too high. And that was with a 9.5, which is a lower loft than my old driver. I also had trouble squaring the massive head on this thing and was fading quite a bit as a result. Probably an OK club for someone else, but didn't go well for me. After nine holes I went back to the proshop and swapped it for their demo TM r540 9.5 stiff, and all was good in the world again. Customer Service N/A Similar Products Used: TM R540, TM 360XD. |

Nike Ignite 410 10.5 Stiff Flex Fuji
First off Disregard the 2nd review of this club because that golfer obviously has it out for nike clubs. I will be the 1st to admit i bought a nike 350cc Driver a few months ago and it was the Biggest POS ive ever hit. I couldnt get the ball off the tee and when i did who knows where the ball went. By about 36 holes i knew that driver and myself would never get along so i set out to find my new Stick. Now in my bag i also had Nike T40 3&5 woods both of which i can kill long and straight, but that still wasnt enought to sell on buying another nike driver. So i tried a few different clubs Taylor R580, Titleiest 975, some cobra, and then the Ignite. Well the Ignite sold itself. I went from barely hitting tee shots to an average driver of over 250 Yards Straight. Not to mention ive maxed out at around 300 yards with this club. Ive only been golfing for 3 months. This Driver is amazing its feels good, hits a tons and sounds great. If you dont believe me go demo this Club and see for yourself you will not be disappointed. This IS NOT like the old Nike Drivers in any way shape or Form. It is one of the best clubs on the market. |

Nike Ignite 410, 10.5*, R flex graphite
Tried a demo 410 and 460 the other day. Loved the 410. Most comfortable driver I think I've ever hit. Great launch angle (my biggest problem with a driver), straight except when you want to make it move. Didn't care for the 460... too much like the other drivers I don't hit well. I think this may be in the bag soon. Customer Service n/a Similar Products Used: Golfsmith HiCor 400, Graphalloy(?) R flex... starting to get more comfortable with it, but not in Ignite's class. |

Ignite 410 8.5*
Well in a word. Evil. Evilly straight. I demoed an Ignite 410 8.5* with a Tour X-flex Fuji Shaft at 45". I play a Wilson Deep Red 425 9.5* with a 44" tour stiff shaft in it for control. Well, at 45" I was afraid of control issues but from the first tee (there was no range time with this) I was straight straight straight. I used it 5 times on the front side and was 5-yard cut about 280 right side of fairway , 280 straight 1 yard into left rough, big pull (but straight where I hit it--not hooking), 295 5 yard draw, and 260 straight into a good wind. This thing goes straighter than any club I have tried. I was worried that I wasn't getting the same distance as I was with my DR. But on the back side I hit them both off 2 tees. With my DR a 290 yard 15 yard hook to the end fo the dog leg, and the Nike flew over it over the bunker and into the tree at the end of the bog leg. The next time they were within a ruler of each other. So Nike is now in the bag and the DR at the golf shop. I got this cheap but at Retail I couldn't do it.
