I am currently looking into purchasing a new set of irons. I am thinking about getting either the nike slingshots or the taylormade r7s. I am a new golfer with a HIGH handicap haha. I am looking for the most forgiveness in the clubs as possible. The r7s are on sale for $350 while the slingshots are $499.

I play both irons. The slingshot are an older model but the standard size head. The TM irons are R7 which would be less forgiving than the Reg R7 or R7 draws.

Personally for a new golfer I would opt for a used slingshot OSS set. Oss means the head is slightly larger than the original offering presenting a larger sweet spot.

My Son-In-Law has a set of these. He's a new golfer with swing issues. He shot a 86 on a very good course. I was there!!!! I was awesome.

Any way these can be had on ebay for less than $250. Excellent deal and very good clubs IMO

thanks danielreiberg. I am about to get a gift card from work for about 200 dollars. So I was thinking to get the gift card for golftown if I was going to go with the slingshots or sportchek if i wanted to go with r7s. Thanks for your input

Just saw Slingshots today at Golf Galaxy (steel shaft) for $399.

But I see you're in Vancouver and my advice is probably useless.

Well if you have an opinion on which clubs are better between the r7s and slingshots, I would love to hear it.

    • Day 23: weird day, and only had a little bit of time. Just did mirror work again, working on where the elbow is in the downswing 
    • I flipped over to this tonight and thoroughly enjoyed it. Anyone else watch? I picked it up during the golf relay event, but seeing these pros out having fun in alternative events was refreshing and entertaining. I’m sure it will be on in reruns in the next week or so, so I won’t spoil the outcome. Im curious what others thought of it. I’m recording it’s later airing to see the beginning. 
    • Day 443 - 2025-12-17 Made a few swings in testing some things out at another academy. Might pop up on someone else's podcast in a few weeks.
    • Day 37 (17 Dec 25) - nine hole round with my good friend.  We got paired up with a couple of the men’s group regulars as part of their shootout.  Started off with a wonderful quad bogie and then a dbl on three to be six over thru three holes.  Game went 180° over the next five as I shot one under (including a chip in birdie on hole six and four up and down 1 putt pars) for a net finish of five over. What could have been a really tough nine became a solid finish due to staying in the moment and not checking out.  Great day in course management and keeping perspective .
    • Day 127 12-17 Backswing and flow practice. Took advantage of the 60 degeee weather(it was 20 degrees Sunday)
