The Ignite T60 calls upon a massive tungsten plug in the sole of the club and a responsive Custom 455 Stainless Steel clubface to maximize performance. These features are designed to make it easier for golfers at every level to hit high, long and accurate shots.
The new design allows for more weight to be inserted low in the clubhead for a low and deep center of gravity, which aids lift and trajectory. In fact, Nike Golf says that two-thirds of the clubhead weight is below the equator of the ball.
"The tungsten plug in the Ignite T60 fairway woods allows us to move the CG to promote game improvement while maintaining a classic club head shape," said Mike Kelly, Nike Golf's Club Category Business Director. "The T60 is a testament to our engineers' ability to push the technical envelope without sacrificing the look that better players demand."
The clubface is crafted from Custom 455 Stainless Steel, a material that is thinner and stronger than the more commonly used 17-4 Stainless Steel. It's the same material used in the clubface of the Nike Slingshot irons. An 11-gram increase in perimeter weighting is achieve by using Custom 455 in the clubface, and every little gram helps with game-improvement features.
The Nike Ignite T60 fairway woods are available with two shaft options: A Fujikura graphite shaft exclusive to the Nike Ignite, which comes in a strong 3-wood or 3T (13-degrees), plus the 3 (15-degrees), 4 (17-degrees), 5 (19-degrees), 7 (21-degrees) and 9 (23-degrees) woods. There is also a lightweight Speed Step steel shaft available in the same range of clubs. The 3, 5 and 7 will be available in a left hand model with both shaft options.
The Ignite T60 Fairway Woods will also be available with an exclusive Fujikura Ignite women's graphite shaft in 3, 4, 5, 7 and 9 woods, and a left handed model in 3, 5 and 7 woods.
Nike Ignite T60 Fairway Woods with the Fujikura Ignite graphite shaft (MSRP $239) and the Ignite T60 Fairway Woods with the Speed Step steel shaft (MSRP $219) will be available in pro shops beginning Oct. 1, 2004.
