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.

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.
