Nike Slingshot "Tour" Irons

caryk · November 13, 2005

Just got my holiday edition of the Edwins Watts catalog the other day and on page 25 it shows an interesting new set of irons from Nike ... the Slingshot "Tour". Here's the description:

"Co-developed with assistance from several Nike Golf sponsored PGA Tour staff members. Perfect for players that prefer a classic profile packed with modern technology. While these clubs still achieve Air CG via the lightweight/milled Carpenter Custom 455 face, the Slingshot design is not visible at address. Shallower minimal offset allows for more shot-shaping creativity."

Picture shows a pretty nice looking 6-iron. Not too bulky looking. The back cavity seems recessed as well. I checked the Nike website and they're not shown on there.

I hit this club the other day during a driver fitting (the rep brought it with her)...it is SPECTACULAR! Very clean, classic look with a lot of technology. Very good feel. Was able to hit high, low, fade, draw at will. Very impressive.

They're featured on www.nikegolf.com but they're not that easy to find. Click on the special "Slingshot OSS" button on the right of the www.nikegolf.com homepage. A new Flash presentation will open up and there will be a link for the Slingshot Tour.

I asked about these irons about a week ago. I can't wait to see them in person.

I hit them at a recent demo day and they were just too heavy for me. Currently play Cleveland TA 7 Tours ans they feel much heavier than those. They felt like D4 swingweight at least.
