Nike Eagle Silver Mid Iron

Advantages: Great for all ages and handicaps
Disadvantages: don't get a sand iron

...'t use their 3 that much. You can buy a set of Slingshot irons these days for around £200 now from many online golf stores, the steel shaft ones are the ones my son has and he certainly likes steel shafts better than the graphite shafts of the DX. Slingshot are a little heavier but very well weighted and have a generous sweet spot. If you are a mid to high handicapper give them a try at your local pro shop, you won't be dissapointed. Lovely irons and very well made. My son's are nearly a year old now and still shiney and no marks or bits of rust showing. Nike certainly know how to make golf clubs.... Read review

One of the first factors that affected my decision was obviously price and when I had chosen an affordable price range I set about finding the best clubs to suit my game (I am a 15 handicap golfer). Talking to my local pro he reccomended that I chose a half-way house between the most forgiving, cavity backed, clubs and the better players irons (blades) which would significantly reduce the number of the clubs on the market to confuse me! The first brand that I came across was the Nike Slingshot Irons but at the time these were slightly above my price range at over £500 (I was looking to spend £300-£400). Next I was taken by some Wilson clubs... Read review
