Hi

I'm thinking of buying a new iron set. I have a very old set (Ben Hogan's) that was passed down from my dad. The local golf store has a sale on the Nike Slingshots for 350.00, down from 700.00.

Anyone that has used the Slingshots or owns them, feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Are these clubs pretty forgiving? I've just started up golf. Should I look for alternatives. Are these a good starting out club for beginners?
Is it worth an extra $100.00 to get a graphite shaft?

Thanks

Slowly building my set.

I tried the Nike Slingshots for a round not too long ago, and I could not stand them. It felt like I was swinging a stick with a mack truck at the end of it. They were forgiving and hit well, I will give them that, but I just did not like the way they felt when I swung them and found the large size of the heads distracting.

Another one to look at if you can find it in the same price range is Adams A3. I ended up buying these and am extremely happy with them, and have never played better golf.

I use steel shafts (except hybrids) because I have a fairly quick tempo and I find them to be more consistent.

I bought a set of the Slingshot 4D last fall, at first I really liked them but now that I've played several rounds with them, they're just not for me. Like one of the other posts, they are really heavy and just didn't have any feel. I will agree, they are long and very forgiving. Also, pretty good from the rough.

I like to use my 8-PW for various greenside shots, particularly chips, and they were simply to bulky for me to feel comfortable with.

I recently bought the Nike Sumo2 Iron/Hybrid set for $359. You can optionally get the steel shafted all iron set for about the same price. Played with them alot so far this year and love them.

      My Swing (billchao)

      By billchao ·

      Went to a PING fitting day today. Going to be ordering a G430 Max 3w with a 75g x-stiff shaft at 5w length and a 3h. I forget what my fitter did with the shaft on that but she told me she’s going to email the club the specs of everything. The 3w combination we found pretty quickly. As for the hybrid, we tried a bunch of different head and shaft combinations for that distance with mixed results. Then she handed me the 3h and I took three swings with it and knew it was the one.

      This Guy Is Blatantly Sandbagging!

      Yeah, this isn't sandbagging. It's outright cheating. He should be banned.

      How Much Water do You Need to Drink?

      By billchao ·

      That’s quite a generalization. It’s clear that you don’t like water but there are plenty of us that drink it just fine. My daily intake is usually about 20oz of black coffee, 16oz of soda, 8oz of milk mixed into a protein shake, and anywhere between 30-60oz of water. It doesn’t even need to be cold and I kind of prefer it closer to room temperature than cold. I quite like the taste of tap water, with sole exception being the tap water at Magic Kingdom (it’s terrible). I can’t stand when people bring me tap water with a lemon wedge in it. I didn’t ask for lemon in my water.

      By billchao ·

      This is the part I don’t get. He’s not even kind of sandbagging, he’s blatantly doing it and submitting scores that are verified to be incorrect. How he’s not banned from competition is beyond me.

      One handed swing faster?

      By davidgolfman ·

      He's right in what he's saying.I also have done this experiment with a golf shaft swinging with one arm at a time.one arm at a time is for me very fast but both hands together are very slow ..I got my 17 year old son to do this experiment and he swung very fast with either hand and he swung very fast with both hands together..My conclusion up to now is ; I'm not using my wrists properly but I not a 100 percent sure just yet..I will keep trying to fathom this out .I'm a 12 handicap and my son is 3.9 at Westlancs..
