Nike Ignite II irons

[buddycris75]

so i currently hit my ping i3's. had them for about 10 years now and want something new. the stores are selling the ignite II irons for $300. just wondering if anybody has experience with these and if they would be a good buy.

That sounds like a good price for a set of new irons but I'm just not into Nike golf.

I had the Nike Ignite irons, not the 2's, but doubt here was much change in them as the cost is about the same. I feel like they were good starter irons. I was a big Nike guy and had nothing but Nike in my bag because I felt that you shouldn't have all different brands in your bag. I switched to Callaway and bought the new Diablo Edge irons and all I can say is WOW. The Nike Ignites do not offer anywhere near the amount of distance and launch angle that you get off of the Edges. I literally went from hitting my 7-iron 130-140 yards with my Ignites to about 160 with the Edges. I was also never able to hit a 5-iron until the Edges.

I have come to learn that as much as I love Nike, and as cool as their products look, their stuff is just not that great unless you are a pro and they are customizing every little detail to you. Just my two cents.

hmmm why do you want to change? just to get something new?
i love my i3s, of course i'd like a new set but why bother.

thanks for the info dgny. i have three different sets i'm gonna try out and see now. the nike vr, callaway x-20, and taylormade burner plus. all are the same price so i'm gonna see which i like best.

jml, the i3's have been plenty good to me over the years. just ready for a change basically
