Nike Golf Slingshot Cart Bag

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

...Well, last year a set of Slingshot irons were selling at around £399 for a 3 iron to Pitch wedge. I bought my son a set of these from American Golf. The irons are very well made and have lovely grips. each iron has a little 'bridge' over the cavity and make a 'swoosh' when you swing them, its a great sound, and I can see why they are called Slingshot. previous to the Slingshot irons my son had Macgregor DX and the Nike were a very good buy. My son's handicap came down 4 shots within a month and he does hit these irons straight and long, there is so much confidence in each iron, right down to the 3. I don't have my 3 or 4 iron in my bag but my son who is 16 really does hit them well. The only downfall is that there isn't a sand iron in the set, and it would have made better sense to add a sand and taken away the 3, as most people don... Read review

Advantages: CLASS AND STYLE AND IT HITS THE BALL A BLOODY LONG WAY
Disadvantages: A HEFTY INVESTMENT AT 300 POUNDS

...THE YEAR 2002 HAS BEEN WITHOUT QUESTION THE YEAR OF THE TIGER, IN GOLF THE TIGER WOODS PHENOMENON HAS REACHED EPIDEMIC LEVELS. THE NIKE 350CC BETA TITANIUM DRIVER ENDORSED BY TIGER IS RAPIDLY BECOMING A MAJOR FORCE ON BOTH THE US AND EUROPEAN TOUR WITH A 1/8TH SHARE OF ALL DRIVERS USED ! I PURCHASED A NEW DRIVER AFTER YEARS PLAYING WITH ANOTHER LEADING BRAND WITH GREAT SUCCESS (my handicap is 7)BUT THE LURE OF NIKES GLOSSY MARKETING CAMPAIGN AND THE FACT THAT TIGER HIMSELF USES THIS DRIVER GRADUALLY WORE ME DOWN AND SEVEN MONTHS AGO I TOOK THE PLUNGE AND BOUGHT ONE. THE DRIVER COST £299.00 FROM A ONLINE GOLF STORE AND AS IT ARRIVED I OPENED IT AND I WAS AMAZED TRULY AMAZED. THIS DRIVER WHILST NOT REALLY COVENTIONAL IN TERMS OF DESIGN AND COLOUR IS BEAUTIFUL AND HAS A CHARM ALL OF ITS OWN. I HAVE USED THIS CLUB FOR SEVEN MONTHS AND AFTER... Read review

Advantages: Custom fit,
Disadvantages: none

...this done at your local Ping stockist, or on the Ping UK website, however I would not recommend that as I was advised on the 'gold dot' online but at my ping fitting I was told green dot was the correct one for me. Right after all that I had better tell you about the irons. In the last year i have had 2 sets of irons, in the past 3 years I have had around 4 sets, each on off the shelf. I have had Callaway X14, Lynx blackcat, Nike slingshot, Wilson 1200, but always felt that the clubs where not right for me. I rand up my local Ping specialist and booked a fitting, and received my irons around 2 weeks later. i had not played golf in around 3 weeks, and was very impressed with the feel. Being a 18 handicapper i'm proned to making mistakes, and my main mistake in not being able to play consistant. My irons did lay flush on the ground and i felt... Read review
