"If you compare the face of any driver to a trampoline, the most spring you get in the trampoline is in the dead center," Stites says. "As you get closer to the edge, it gets more rigid. If you put a piece of plywood on the trampoline, anywhere on the plywood would spring just about the same amount. That's what we're trying to accomplish, to get that [maximum] rebound in as many places as we can."
Based on Nike's analysis, the newest VR Pro driver includes a 2% higher Coefficient of Restitution (COR) over the face compared to its predecessor, which in turn means 4-6 additional yards from the tee.
