I haven\u2019t really ever found anything where it sits down quite right in the fairway or off the tee. The flight that I see with this one I haven\u2019t found just anything where it\u2019s better. I think this one is going on maybe 10, 11, maybe 12 years now, but it\u2019s crazy, like I said I don\u2019t tinker so when I find something that works I\u2019ll keep going with it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou put in a new shaft occasionally. I don\u2019t change those, I think I\u2019ve every shaft in this bag for a long time and occasionally just the wear from the little wear marks on the bag when the bag gets a little done in, so you have to change shafts but not the heads.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Nike Vapor Pro 3-iron<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve got this one (currently gaming) and maybe one more is what I\u2019ve got. I\u2019m not a tinkerer, I don\u2019t play around with different options. I\u2019ve tried throwing a 5-wood in, but the ball flight doesn\u2019t look right to me. I don\u2019t know why. I\u2019m not at the age where I need a little extra help with extra woods which is lucky but probably in 5 or 6 years I\u2019ll take all the help I can get.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs of right now, that 3-iron has been my old faithful. I know the flight it should be, the original one actually caved in on 18 at Portrush this year. Luckily I wasn\u2019t playing Saturday or Sunday so I didn\u2019t have to go without a club. But it\u2019s been crazy, I\u2019ve been carrying the backup around for a couple of months, sort of knowing it was at the end and it just happened to now make its way to the front of the bag.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>With just one remaining Nike Vapor Pro 3-iron left in reserve, Brooks may want to hop on over to <a href=\"https:\/\/forums.golfwrx.com\/forum\/56-classifieds-for-sale-forum\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">our Classifieds section<\/a>, as just two months ago that<a href=\"https:\/\/www.golfwrx.com\/764606\/coolest-thing-for-sale-in-the-golfwrx-classifieds-today-nike-vapor-fly-pro-3-iron\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\"> same 3-iron, in excellent condition, was being sold in our forums.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Check out Koepka\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.golfwrx.com\/761695\/brooks-koepka-witb-2025-june\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">full WITB here.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Your Reaction?LIKE92LEGIT14WOW7LOL7IDHT2FLOP1OB0SHANK14 <img decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:none;\" onload=\"colorich_show_login_status(true)\" onerror=\"colorich_show_login_status(false)\" src=\"https:\/\/plus.google.com\/up\/?continue=https:\/\/www.google.com\/intl\/en\/images\/logos\/accounts_logo.png&amp;type=st&amp;gpsrc=ogpy0\"\/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Brooks Koepka\u2019s bag has been home to his TaylorMade M2 HL 3-wood and\u00a0Nike Vapor Pro 3-iron for many&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":201913,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[443],"tags":[49,48,622,82],"class_list":{"0":"post-201912","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-golf","8":"tag-ca","9":"tag-canada","10":"tag-golf","11":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/201912","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=201912"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/201912\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/201913"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=201912"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=201912"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=201912"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
