Why We Love Capris

Capri pants, better known as Pedal Pushers by the older generation, have been a hit in the last few years. Many women look forward to the warmer weather so that they can bring out those Capri pants again. In the way that short shorts have been such a hit with the younger generation, Capri pants have come on strong and show no signs of letting go.

Capri pants are somewhere between Bermuda shorts and full pants. They look more like pants than shorts, but they are often worn with summer like tops, often tank tops. As the legs of Capri pants are not as long as traditional pants, they tend to be cooler. They are commonly seen in spring and fall, times when the weather is still warm enough, but too cool for shorts.

There are many women out there that feel they look better in pants than they do in shorts. For these women, they have a third option. Some women will wear Capri pants now that would have previously suffered through the hot summer in pants because they were not comfortable wearing shorts.

Pants that are not the full traditional length also offer a new option for those that have short legs. Many that have short legs have a hard time even with petite sizes, even those are too long. Sometimes the Capri pant lengths that are designed in the full length are long enough to be full pants to those with short legs. For many, this is much better than paying once for the pants, then again to have them tailored.

When traveling and looking for clothes that are versatile Capri's come through nicely. These pants can be worn with tank tops in warmer weather, but they can also be worn with sleeved tops and sweatshirts if the weather is cool. Weather reports can never be counted on 100%, so Capri pants will come in where weather reports fail. You know that no matter what the weather when you arrive, you'll be warm or cool enough.

If you're not one suited to sporty clothing and athletic wear Capri's give you another option when attending an event. If you're going to a baseball game on a cool day or early season football game, your Capri pants may be the obvious choice. If you're not comfortable wearing sweatpants or other clothing like that, your Capri pants can come in handy. You'll be warm enough wearing them and confident in your clothing choice.

Capri pants have truly been an answer in many areas to those that choose to wear them. Women wear them for a variety of reasons. If these did not come back into popularity women would continue having to be uncomfortable and continuing to wish that there were more options.

Nike Hybrid Golf Clubs

Nike Hybrid Golf Clubs are available in two versions of two different models, for a total of 4 product lines. These include the Slingshot Hybrid and Slingshot Tour Hybrid, the CPR3 Wood and CPR3 Iron-Wood. This article will review the attributes of each of these hybrid golf clubs.

Slingshot Hybrid and Slingshot Tour Hybrid
Both of these clubs have an MSRP of $199 US for either steel or graphite shafts. The Slingshot Tour is targeted for low handicap golfers, and the Slingshot is for less skilled players. Both clubs aim to deliver a center of gravity (CG) that is low and as far back behind the face as possible. This type of club head design is geared to making the ball get up into the air easier and to be forgiving of off-center hits. Both clubs look like a hybrid or small fairway wood with the upper back section removed. This is readily evident on the companys web site. The weight thus removed is then redistributed in a thick sole and a thick bar around the back of the clubs called a Slingback bar. The result of this design is to have 70% of the mass of the club head below the equator of the ball. The face plate on both clubs is made of 455 stainless steel which is normal for high-end hybrid clubs like these.

There are 5 clubs available in the Slingshot line. These are 2-6 hybrids. Perhaps it bears repeating that hybrid clubs are designed to replace long irons that are difficult for most golfers to hit solidly on a consistent basis. A 3 hybrid will replace your 3 iron, for example. All the clubs in the Slingshot product line are available for both left and right handed golfers. There is no womens version of this model available, or for any of the Nike hybrid golf clubs models for that matter. Of course both steel and graphite shafts are available. Custom fitting options exist for club length (-1/2 to +2 from standard) and for lie angles (-2 to +4 degrees from standard). One would need to have a custom club fitting to know if he needs to order any of these changes. This is a good idea in any case for a person thinking of investing in a set of new golf clubs.

As stated, the Slingshot Tour Hybrid is for low handicap players. In fact Nike notes that their Tour staff requested such a model be developed. Four clubs are available in 1-4 hybrids. The shafts on the Slingshot Tour Hybrid are slightly heavier than on the Slingshot. The same options to customize club length and lie angle can be chosen.

CPR3 Wood and CPR3 Iron-Wood
These two hybrids have an MSRP of $139 with steel shafts and $159 with graphite. The CPR3 Wood clubs have a deeper sole and have more of a wood bottom footprint, thus the name. The upper back section is cut out, and thus again weight can be redistributed around the periphery of the sole to lower the CG and move it back. 2-5 hybrids are available, and all lofts come in left handed models. No womens versions of this product line are available, nor are there any options for customization as there are with the Slingshots.

The CPR3 Iron-Wood has a smaller footprint which is more like a typical hybrid club. This version is targeted to lower handicap golfers and is available in 1-4 hybrids in either steel or graphite shafts. Left handed clubs are available, and as with the CPR3 Wood, there are no custom options for club length or lie angle.

Nike Hybrid Golf Clubs do not come with versions to provide a hook bias to help golfers with a consistent slice, or adjustable club head weight versions as is offered by taylor Made, for example. It will be interesting to see if the popularity of those design features or the demand for womens hybrids will be high enough to motivate Nike to add these types of clubs to their product offerings. Nike is certainly a top rank golf company, however, so if one of their models fits you properly, you will be playing with excellent clubs.
