The Fly-Brace is built to reinforce the back portion of the club head which focuses the impact stress, flexing subsequent energy transfer to the point of impact. Nike states that by stiffening the rear portion of the club, more energy is transferred to the face at impact which should result in better ball speed and distance. This year the Nike Covert 2.0 driver is all about the Fry-Brace technology that is tied to the sole of the crown. VR_S Covert 2.0 Driver Review Breakdown Design: Our team was anxious to put this driver to the test, so off we headed to the range! The end result is even greater ball speed and up to six yards of distance gain over last year’s model.” – Nate Radcliffe, Nike Golf Director of EngineeringĪhead of its realease day were luckily enough to get our hands on a new VR_S Covert 2.0 for testing. By stiffening the rear portion of the club, more energy is transferred to the face at impact. The new VR_S Covert 2.0 driver features a redesigned cavity with Fly-Brace technology that ties the sole to the crown. “We re-engineered VR_S Covert 2.0 with enhancements to our High Speed Cavity Back technology that allow athletes to experience more forgiving distance than ever before. Some of the enhancements the Covert 2.0 has undergone are visually evident, (and quite handsome) but it’s what’s not seen by the naked eye is really what makes the 2.0 a totally new piece of equipment – as Nate Radcliffe with Nike Golf can explain much better than I… This was a smart move on Nike’s behalf because frankly there was no reason to overhaul the VR_S Covert. While Nike didn’t try to blow last year’s VR_S Covert design out of the water, they simply decided to make the VR_S Covert 2.0 a little bit better, a little more forgiving and touch up on some of the technology. As we all know, sequels can be a disappointing because of the impressiveness of the original, we have a tendency to expect bigger and better with the sequel. To say that Nike hit it on the head (pun intended) last year is no understatement. Built with a cavity back design and a glossy red finish, the club touted less spin and a very generous sweet spot. Last year Nike rolled out a radical newly designed driver dubbed the VR_S Covert.
