Nike Ignite T60 Fairway Wood Review

Nike Ignite T60 Fairway
The Nike Ignite T60 fairway woods feature a 60-gram tungsten plug that creates a center of gravity position that is low and deep in the clubhead promoting game improvement while maintaining a classic club head shape. The Ignite T60 fairway wood is built with a custom 455 stainless steel club face for maximum performance. The design, with two-thirds of the clubhead’s weight below the equator of the ball, allows for optimum weight to be inserted low and get the ball airborne easier. Also by moving the center of gravity (CG) deeper into the clubhead the club is easier to square at impact to improve accuracy. The Ignite T60 fairway woods are currently available with a suggested retail price of $239 each.

Nike Ignite T60 Fairway Review:

Accuracy	Less-Avg-More
We found the Ignite T60 to be very accurate, especially off of the tee. It was particularly effective at finding the fairway on tight driving holes. Initially, we were concerned on control off the fairway due to the club’s deep face, we found that this was not an issue and that it was accurate from the fairway as well.

Distance	Short-Avg-Long
The Ignite T60 was longer than the T40 fairway wood and as long as many of the clubs we have tested. We attributed some of this distance to the 43” shaft length. Distance off the tee was very good and longer than many of the fairway woods we have reviewed.

Trajectory	Low-Avg-High
The trajectory of the Nike Ignite T60 fairway wood offered a mid to high flight. The heavy tungsten sole weighting made it easy to get the ball in the air and the flight was higher than the previous Nike T40 fairway wood offering.

Feel	Less-Avg-More
The Nike Ignite T60 fairway wood produced a “crack” sound at impact. The ball seemed to jump off the face at impact transmitting a very solid feel. The feel is much improved over Nike’s T40 fairway wood.

Forgiveness	Less-Avg-More
he Ignite T60 fairway wood was found to be much more forgiving that the T40 fairway wood. We were pleased with the ease in which we were able to make solid contact with this wood. The weighted sole made it easy to get the ball airborne.

Looks
The Ignite T60 has a traditional look and is slightly larger than many fairway woods available today. The head has a pear-shaped profile with deep face. The head is square at address and offers the “Ignite Circle I” logo as an alignment aid.
Summary: The Ignite T60 three wood from Nike Golf receives high marks for overall performance, forgiveness, and distance. This is Nike’s best offering in this category and one that is very competitive within the industry. The Nike Ignite T60 will appeal to low and mid handicap golfers that are interested in a traditional looking fairway wood that is a solid performer. The stock Ignite graphite shaft by Fujikura is one of the better stock shafts available and will perform well for smooth swingers.
