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 ...
Advantages: Elegant yet robust looking, a good size for my tiny wrists, keeps good time Disadvantages: Difficult to adjust, tiny day window, needed repairs to the crown
...so I bullied...sorry, that should read 'cajoled' my husband into buying me one, and he chose the Wittnauer Laureate 12M02 ladies' watch.
You've never heard of Wittnauer? I'm not surprised, though the company has been around since 1872. The reason you may never have heard of it is that although the watch is indeed manufactured in Switzerland, so can legitimately claim to be a Swiss watch, the company was formed to service the supposedly more demanding (and cheaper - the watches were and still are cheaper than the more well known Swiss brands) American market. Its offices (they are now part of the Bulova group) are in New York, and have been for most of its trading history (you can read the full history of the company here http://www.bulovaspecialmarkets.com/about/wittnaue rhistory.aspx).
