Re: Nike Slingshot

I've never owned a set of the slingshots, but I tried the OSS out a handful of times and they are pretty good super game improvement irons. The look for me was just too bulky, so I ended up going with the R7 irons.

Re: Nike Slingshot

My friend has these and they are solid, but the woooooosh sound they make gets a little annoying to me

Re: Nike Slingshot

They hit decent, but never liked the look of them.

Re: Nike Slingshot

The new ones are sweet....the long irons have more weight in the heel so people can get through them easier, the mid irons are nuetral weighted and the short irons hvae more weight in the toe so people dont pull them....They are a great iron for certain people!

Re: Nike Slingshot

I've had the chance to hit Slingshots and really like them, I got good ball flight out of them. But since I am a high-handicapper, they are a good fit for me.

I have said before that if I ever had to replace my beloved Silver Scots, I'd go for Slingshots until my game justified something else (and who knows when that would be).
