Similar to the Nike Women’s Lunar Control shoes she customised, the first time she tested the Nike Vapor Speed driver she wanted to but her own style on it - and immediately asked if it could be made with a Volt crown.
After a custom paint scheme, the result is the distinctive Nike Vapor Speed Volt. While the colour design is customised specifically for Wie, the technology and club specs of her driver remain the same as the Nike Vapor Speed. The driver combines three key technologies: Nike’s new FlyBeam-reinforced Covert Cavity Back design, a reengineered Compression Channel and FlexLoft 2. The Covert Cavity Back design spreads weight towards the heel and toe to maximize forgiveness.
FlexLoft 2 offers five lofts and three face angles within 15 different settings. The new, improved system is five grams (30 percent) lighter without compromising function. The redistribution of mass creates more stability, better launch conditions and faster swing speeds.
Michelle Wie plays the new Nike RZN Black Voltball
Wie is also the first golfer on the PGA or LPGA Tour to play the new Nike RZN Black Voltball.
Nike’s Speedlock RZN core technology features an interlocking core design – the core’s surface is similar to that of a waffle iron – that interconnects with the compression layer to form a tighter bond and helps promote better energy transfer through the layers at impact. Similar to how snow tyres utilise aggressive treads to bond with a road surface, the Speedlock core’s interlocking geometry helps eliminate the slipping that normally occurs between a traditional, smooth-surface core and the outer layer. When a core slides or slips on impact, the ball loses energy and as a result, speed and distance. Speedlock technology helps to harness more energy between layers for faster ball speed, longer distance and more stability into the wind.
