Nike Sumo

[Reid Jones]

Hey guys I'm 14, almost 15. I'm about 5'10" if that means anything. I would love to buy myself the Nike Sumo iron set. They seem to be a really great set of irons. I've really been needing a new set of clubs so I figured I would buy a nice set of irons and then slowly buy new woods because the woods I currently have aren't bad. So what I'm needing to know is, do you recommend these clubs? And should they fit me? On golfsmith I found a full set of Nike Sumo irons for 400 dollars. They are graphite shafts. Also, what clubs will I be getting in a full set of irons? I'm assuming 4-9, and a PW and a SW? Thanks!

My uneducatied and uninformed reply would be not to get graphite shafts in your iorns when you are young. I think your swing will change too quickly and graphite can be finicky.

i can buy the steel stiff shafts for 299 bucks.

graphite in irons is a no no IMO.

in that price range you cant beat the TaylormadeR7's, go some place hit the sumos, hit some other clubs.

The sumos set up very odd behind the ball, I think. But they are maximum game improvement irons. so depending on your skill level is how I would make my judgement.

Why no-no for graphite irons?

[Chipper]

yea i would definitely go for the steel shafts. before you look for deals online go to a pro shop and try out as many irons in your price range as possible so you get the ones that feel the best.

There are many reasons for me.

They don't transmit feel as well as steel. I like clubs with a lot of feel, so I know when I did something wrong. I think they make (my) errors more exaggerated, if I hit one on the toe it seems to push more right than a steel. flex points are different, I have a steep attacking down swing I do this to create spin, when I do this with graphite i top the ball. As far as wear and tear, steel and graphite are about the same. I just dont like the stuff. Ill save it for my driver and my fishing polls.

Go try some out, maybe get fitted. What woods do you play?

the set is 4-9 pw,aw and no graphite shafts graphite tends to help put the ball in the air,but with super game improvement irons if your any good you would baloon shots.

I can't hit worth a darn with my 3 wood, but i do tee up with it. And i love my 5 wood. So a 3 wood and 5 wood. And obviously a driver.
