Unique Clubs in Play | Brooks Koepka and Tony Finau’s Nike Vapor Fly Pro 3-Iron and Justin Rose’s TaylorMade M6 Fairway Woods

Despite Nike's departure from the golf club manufacturing world in 2016, a few of their clubs have achieved legendary status, finding homes in the bags of some of the PGA Tour's most powerful ball-strikers. Two prime examples are Brooks Koepka and Tony Finau, both of whom continue to game the Nike Vapor Fly Pro 3-iron. This driving iron has become an iconic, albeit increasingly rare, sight on tour.

The Nike Vapor Fly Pro 3-iron, released in 2016, was designed to provide a penetrating ball flight with reduced spin, making it ideal for players with high clubhead speeds who need a reliable option off the tee on tight holes or for long approach shots into the wind. Its hollow cavity construction, coupled with Nike's "FlyBeam" technology, aimed to increase ball speed and forgiveness across the face, while the "Modern Muscle" design strategically placed weight to optimize the center of gravity.

And while many pros are constantly swapping out their fairway woods for the latest advancements, Justin Rose has found steadfast reliability in his TaylorMade M6 Fairway Woods, specifically his 15-degree 3-wood and 21-degree 7-wood. These models, released in 2019, remain a consistent presence in his bag, a testament to their versatility and performance.

The TaylorMade M6 fairway woods were a significant release, notably being the first fairway woods to incorporate TaylorMade's revolutionary Twist Face Technology. This innovative face curvature, with its corrective face angle on off-center hits, was designed to reduce side spin and deliver straighter shots – a massive benefit for any golfer, especially at the professional level. Beyond Twist Face, the M6 fairways featured a multi-material construction with a larger carbon crown, allowing for discretionary weight placement low in the head to optimize the center of gravity and maintain a high Moment of Inertia (MOI) for forgiveness. The improved Speed Pocket design also aimed to increase ball speed across a larger area of the face, particularly on low-face strikes.

Whether it's an older driving iron that provides unparalleled control or fairway woods with proven distance and forgiveness, these unique clubs in play demonstrate that a player's confidence in their equipment is often more crucial than chasing the latest release.
