I purchased the Nike Slingshot 6 iron because I wanted to sample one iron before purchasing a set. This iron proved to be much like the rest of Nike irons I have tried in the past, below average. Nike needs a lot of work on their irons. However they seemed to have found something with their hybrids and designed somewhat effective woods. I personally like the Titleist much better in woods and Ben Hogans in hybrids but Nike does ok with these two. The irons on the other hand seem to perform below average. This 6 iron was designed to help the golfer lift the ball. However if you are a golfer that leaves divots then these irons are not for you. The irons allow the golfer to dig under the ball to lift it. The head is a little heavier than other irons. So if you are the type of golfer that leaves any divots with you irons like most golfers are, then this iron will cause you to leave trenches. If you are the type of golfer that hits all ball then maybe these irons will work. It does make a good chipper. My suggestion, try the Macgregor M565. These irons are about 2 yrs old but will allow you to lift the ball with ease and without any trenches. You can still find them brand new on Ebay and very reasonable.
