Ok, 2 more rounds with the CF irons, the more I hit them the more I.love them. They are longer, at least 1/2 club than my old irons. The feel thru the turf is excellent, and I can hit just about any shot I want to with them.

It was windy yesterday, and I had no problem with either holding them up against the wind or hitting a knockdown under the wind. The one thing I have noticed and really like is after 3 rounds, and about 5 buckets at the range, they still look they have never been hit, even with the sandy fairways and range balls here in Florida, I am impressed by this!

For me, the purchase was worth every penny.

Don't become an iron ho don't become and iron ho don't become an iron ho Don't become an iron ho don't become and iron ho don't become an iron ho Don't become an iron ho don't become and iron ho don't become an iron ho Don't become an iron ho don't become and iron ho don't become an iron ho ...

Wondering whether to order just the 8-aw (I love my 13 covert 4-7) or just do the whole set...

I saw that you only went down to PW with your set. Did you get to hit the CF gap wedge before ordering and do you think you'll pick it up to go with your other wedges, or is PW as far as you think you'd go with these irons?

I don't usually use the gap wedge with a set, I have the Nike X3X 52 and SM4 56/60. I haven't had the chance to hit the CF gap wedge.

[HackerVance]

Great looking irons. I will definitely give them a look.

[bushy007]

I saw these in the flesh for the first time today and had a chance to hit them. WOW!! More to follow probably.

[IrishGolfer14]

I just hit these for the first time yesterday. Now I get all the hype they're getting here, if only I hadn't just purchased new irons

The 8irons though.....Hit 2 beauties, 155yards out laser confirmed, it was slightly down hill though but into the wind. I hit my Mizuno's 8 irons came up short right towards the bunker but pin high so distance was good. The NIKEs.......... HIt it high draw over the flag within 20ft past the pin (2shots). I will say I figured the yardage for 145-150max with the down hill but I hit the Nike's a good 5 yards past the hole. so 160 8iron and if realistically maybe 155. I NEVER have hit an 8 iron that far usually my 145 club and 150max if I am swinging out of my shoes and crap pants.

The feel was just as smooth and nice as my mizunos, the flight was higher for sure and it did feel a little "hotter" but all in all a pretty damn nice set.

For comparison sake though.....Mizuno's .25" shorter and 1* less loft. my Mizunos are also flat 2*.

So if you are looking for a "GI/players cavity" club I wouldnt pass it...I would give a couple or rips at it.....not bad my friends not bad....

Just the post I was looking for. I love my JPX-825 Pros but am looking of a second set of irons and something that's just different. I've got to find these where I can play them on grass. Thanks for the post.

just sold my JPX-825 Pros and am in the process of ordering a set of Covert Forged to replace them!!

[Sean2]

A friend of mine wanted to know what the difference was between the forged version of these clubs and the cast version. I went to Nike's website and I see the shafts are different, and the cast club is 1º stronger. Are there any other differences?

Has anyone hit both?

I've never played Nike clubs so I couldn't give him any information.

Thank you!

[That Bob Guy]

After reading all this propaganda, I think I'm bit. Past offerings were pretty clunky in my opinion. With the exception of their blades, that is. But these look intriguing. Plus I have a vacant new Jones bag they'd look good in.

[runpuddrun]

I hit these tonight and they feel amazing. I was already sold on the looks, but they improved from the vrs forged in the feel dept. Impressed that Nike had a ton of shafts to choose from as well. I liked the dg pros the best.

[homergolf]

My new Covert 2.0 Forged arrived yesterday, ahead of schedule. Gonna try to get to the range (heated, off mats), though it is now about 20* outside. That's pretty cold even with heated stalls.
Theses are beautiful clubs, and are replacing Adams CB2's, so they better be as good as they were at my indoor demo. They are about 1/4-1/2" shorter in length than the CB2's. The club head is a little larger with a slightly thicker top line. They feel lighter with the NS Pro shaft at 98 grams vs the KBS 95 at 102 grams in the Adams. As the season progresses, I'll supplement minteq's, and others', excellent perspectives on these clubs. Pretty excited to give them a workout.

[Konklifer]

I hit these today. Very good looking club with a powerful feel. Overall club weight was extremely light but may work to promote a controlled tempo. They were maybe 5 yds longer on average than my X Hot Pro's. Overall a nice offering. In the future, I'd like to see a thinner sole.

Let me know how those TAPER C's work for you. I hit a set with Nippon Modus in them....it was outside and cold, but the shaft felt awesome! My only grips would be this...

1.) DG Pro felt great and is no up-charge.
2.) Nippon 950 is an upcharge in other Nike's, but if I get a Modus in Covert Forged I have to pay extra...

trying to ball on a budget you know...

[youngunz5840]

The more I hit these when it's dead at work the more I want to order a seat with some pxi 6.0. Even with the wrong specs I am getting great numbers

[runpuddrun]

I hit these with DG pros also and they were great. I can't imagine how awesome they would be with modus or PXi.

[TM_HOYER]

The PGA TSS near me is having a Nike Demo day this Sunday. I am going to give in and demo them. Hopefully they will have one with Project X PXi 5.5 to demo. I have also told my fitter at Club Champion to let me know when he gets demo heads in. If they are significantly better, he can pull the VRS Forged heads and insert the CF's into my Project X PXi's.

I am gaming MP-64's and I am going to get a set of more GI to try early this year. I played with a buddies 714 AP2's today and while they were certainly more forgiving, it wasn't as much help as I was looking for. It didn't seem worth it. These were not even on my radar until I read this thread and it seems like I have to give them a look. It sounds like these have a "feel" to them as we'll as a ton of length. I am very intrigued.

I went ahead and ordered these stock with the Nippon shaft, 98 grams vs. the 121 grams of the S300's ive played for 20 years. Swung them and it was the lightest feeling club i ever swung in my life and i thought i was screwed. Stepped to the first tee saturday with them in the bag without ever hitting a shot with them. First hole i had 165 to the flag and i pulled out the 7 iron which i hit 155-160 with my MP-64's. It landed pin high and rolled by 10 feet. It never left the flag. It felt amazing. I hit 9 out of 12 greens when i used them for an approach and shot 78.
They dont have the feel of the mizunos but they do have feel, its just different. Overall a fantastic first round and they certainly passed the first test.

[SD-Golfn]

Trying so hard to resist buying these. I already bought two new Vokey SM5 wedges this week. Way over my golf gear budget for the year already!

[naths]

If anyone who has bought these with a AW and doesn want it please please message me and i'll buy it off you....reg flex Nippon 950s if poss....thanks

[poipoi]

Well, pulled the trigger on 4-AW stock shafts (I have a feeling that the AW will be sold fairly soon). Now I need to resist the urge to fill out the rest of the bag with Nike...I'm not a ho, I'm not a ho, I'm not a ho...

[TM_HOYER]

The PGA TSS had a Nike demo day yesterday and I hit 6 shots with a Covert Forged 7 iron with the standard regular shaft.I hit with with no warmup, no glove, and no golf shoes. My impression of the Covert Forged vs. the VRS Forged are that the Covert Forged feels slightly better, the ball flight is lower (but still too high), slightly tighter dispersion, and slightly longer. My club is changing from bent to bermuda greens in mid-June and I think I will have my fitter replace my VRS forged heads with the Covert Forged heads in my Project X PXi 5.5 shafts during this time. I think this will be a really sweet combination.

[hokieputter]

pulled the trigger. 4-AW and 2 VR Forged wedges. all with PXi 6.0 since that's what i had in my last set and loved them. decided it was worth the upcharge. [s]im[/s]patiently waiting for them to arrive..

If I would have hit these before buying my apex pros my decision may have been a lot different. Heck, my Apex pros might be trade bait already.... Lol
[/quote]
Oh no! LOL

[Eric05]

Finally got them! Went in yesterday to Golf Galaxy. And purchased the 2.0 Forged Covert Irons 4-pw. With Nippon 950gh stiff shaft and nike tour velvet black with red accent grips. I guess my question is that when I was hooked up to the mizuno swing speed my average was 84 and suggested was the Nippon 1150gh do you think I would notice any difference between the two? Also ordered the Nike tour 2.0 Driver. Switching the Bag!
