I just ordered a set of irons from this company earlier today. I got them with firm steel shaft, mid grip, custom sized. I was wondering if anyone has ever had any experience with this company's equipment? I know the clubs they make are knock offs of brand name stuff, but from feedback left, they seem like solid clubs. The ones I got are designed from the Nike Slingshot irons and I should have them within 3 weeks.
I am also a goaltender and on a goalie forum, and i know some members there despise a certain company because they take other company's designs, and put their own name on it, and sell for less. I know people here may look down on that, but that's what fits my budget right now. I really just want to know how they are going to perform and hold up. Thanks, Greg.

Here is a link to the set of clubs I ordered. http://cgi.ebay.ca/CUSTOM-LEFT-HANDE...QQcmdZViewItem

nobody's tried anything from them? They've seemed to sell an awful lot of stuff on ebay.

as an 11 handicap you should stay away from knock offs... look into a used set of legit clubs, I think its a much better decision

look on edwinwatts.com in their pre owned section, or callaway has a pretty impressive selection and of course there is always ebay

They look decent but I wonder about a fitting done over the internet (lie angle, correct shaft flex, lenght, etc). Also, the reason why the real Nike's cost so much is because of the R&D; that went into them as well as the materials used to construct them as oppose to the knockoffs. I would check their return policy as I would be leary about ordering clubs I never hit (or was fitted for in person). Let us know how it goes . . .

I am very weary about knock offs.... I could throw a ball farther than they hit

the sizing was done over the phone. I just ordered them like that opposed to on ebay. They have a lifetime warranty for normal wear/breakages. They were supposed to be done today and shipped out. I'll definetely let you know how they turn out.

I'm curious as to how these turned out. I was actually browsing their ebay store earlier today and some of the clubs look pretty convincing.

wow.....i started this a long time ago. The irons served their purpose pretty well. The finish on the back of the clubs wore off pretty quick. They were very forgiving, hard to chunk, which was helpful for my game at the time. I have since went through those, a set of Tommy Armour silverscot cb's, and am currently bagging MacGregor M685's. I have went from a 12 handicap to currently around a 4 and improving. I'm actually going for my CPGA card in August.

All in all, for the money, they are decent. But since I have been able to find sets like the M685's i have now for 200 bucks, in my opinion, better deals can be found on higher quality used goods.

    • Is it? I bought the Stack radar to replace my PRGR based on what Stack told me! When I am swinging for speed, the PRGR would miss 50%-80% of my backswings due to a higher speed. The stack seldom misses those- at least for me.
    • As an analyst by nature, I would like to compare the scores under both systems. It is something we can easily do if we have the data. I actually thought the new system was less fair to those whose game was on the decline - like mine! Old: Best 10 of last 20 scores with the .96 multiplier. Course handicap excluded course rating and overall par. New: Best 8/20. Course handicap includes course rating -par. My understanding is Stableford caps scores at Net double bogey like stroke play. If so, handicap should be slower to rise because you are only using 8 versus 10 scores. If I am missing something, I am curious enough to  want to understand what that may be. My home course tees that I play are 72.1/154 now. My best score out here is 82. When my game started to decline, my handicap didn’t budge for 13 rounds because of good scores in my first 8! I know I am an anomaly but my handicap has increased almost 80% in the past few years (with only a few rounds this year). For a few months I knew I was losing every bet because my game was nowhere near my handicap. I suspect I have steamrolled a few nuances but that shouldn’t matter much. When I have modeled this with someone playing the same tees and course, one good round, or return to form, will immediately reduce the handicap by some amount.
