Nike Vapor Launch 

One of the most eagerly anticipated club launches of all time is just hours away and we are giving You the chance to be the first to come and try it. Launching this Saturday (31st January) there are three available ranges: Vapor Flex, Vapor Pro, Vapor Speed. 

Vapor Pro has been used by Rory McIlroy since the Ryder Cup and Tiger Woods has helped develop the Vapor Flex. All three drivers still have the ability to move loft from 8.5 deg to 12.5 deg and the face position can be open, closed or square. 

The three new sets of irons will be Vapor Pro, Vapor Pro Combo and Vapor Speed. Vapor Pro is the new blade while Vapor Pro Combo is slightly more forgiving and Vapor Speed is the most forgiving iron helping deliver outstanding distance and consistency. All three models have the new 'modern muscle' helping maintain the sweet spot in the middle of the clubface.

This new range will offer something to improve any golfer out there. 

Be one of the first to try the new Vapor range from Nike Golf by booking your fitting at Herons' Reach on 01253 832505. 

From the launch date of 31st Jan to 6th Feb we will be offering FREE custom fit sessions, simply call the Golf Shop to book.

The importance of re-gripping

The grip is your only contact on the club but is the biggest thing that all club golfers overlook!

Touring professionals change their grips every 6-8 weeks which shows just how important the grips are to playing their best golf.

If you play once or twice a week then you should be looking to replace your grips every 12 months or so, or even sooner if signs of wear and tear are showing.

Look out for our brand new 'Grip Bar' being installed in the shop over the next few days where we will be offering a wide selection of golf grips from the best manufacturers.

For a FREE grip check come and see a member of staff when you are next at the course and we will advise you on what to look for and when it might be time to change.
