Nike SQ SUMO Iron

Advantages: Great feel and creativity
Disadvantages: American so include no SW

...As I began to progress as a golfer I decided that I needed to splash out on a good set of Irons. My pro had told me that a good set of irons can tkae up to 3 strokes of your score. I think that he is wrong and that it is more like 5-6! These clubs are that good. Firstly the NDS stands for the Nike Distance Serires. So reading that you may think that you lose control if you use the set. That is definately not true as progressive offsetting technique throughout the set allows for perfect ball shaping. The wide sole of the club allows for excellent connection with the club and compared to the modern club these are relatively heavily. I found this extremely helpful as it stopped me hitting semi-fatted shots and topping my shots. THe NDS's are also cast from 431 stainless steel which is 25% softer than the average 17...

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: Trusted brand, forgiving
Disadvantages: Heavy, akward to keep clean

...I bought these to replace my Great White which use to be my Dad's. I wanted a good solid club that I could keep for few years and that would improve my game but not so much that was relying on the clubs and not my own technique. I had seen these in my local pro shop and I liked the way they looked as they are oversized and that gives me confidence. Other clubs that I was interested in were the Taylor Made RAC and MacGregor. The major deciding factor in my choosing of the Nike were the price, they were a lot cheaper then the Taylor Mades and looked more durable than the MacGregor. I was able to try out a 6 iron at my local range and instantly the difference was obvious. Maybe it's to do with the advances in club technology but they just gave a sweeter shot than my Great White's did. I was able to get the ball up higher straight... Read review
