Nike Slingshot Tour vs. Nike Slingshot OSS

[Newbie Collection Agency]

I've recently decided to purchase new irons, and I've settled on Nike Slingshots. However, I can't decide whether to purchase the Tours or the OSS. I'm a 12-15 handicap, and so I'm having trouble deciding what clubs would be the best for my game. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

I tour version is designed for the better player in mind. The CG is higher and closer to the face for more workablity, and a smaller offset. Plus they have True Temper gold flex shafts, which has a higher flex point then the shafts that come with on the OSS. I would suggest that you go to a Nike Auth Dealer and get fitted.. You could come and see me however Im in Germany. If your up for some time off then come on over!!

goodluck

Here's ANOTHER Nike you might want to think about....the CPR iron set! They come in a set of 5 thru PW and two hybrids that replace the long irons. I bought these when I was a 15 and now I'm an 8 and a lot of the credit goes to these clubs. VERY easy to hit and they get the ball up in the air FAST...and really stick on the greens! The hybrids are fantastic. They are designed to get the ball in the air as well, and I can hit an approach shot from 180 and the ball will STICK on the green like I hit an 8 iron!

I'm average size and weight and 52 years old. Long gone are my days of "working" the ball left to right, right to left, etc. Now days I just hit everything STRAIGHT....and that's fun! The hybrids in my bag are 18*, 22*, and 26*, with my irons 5 thru PW. I like the hybrids so much I just ordered a 30* to replace my 5 iron. The hybrids are short and you hit them like an iron, but they just get in the air FAST and BITE when they hit the green.

Unconventional? Maybe so...but when my scorecard reads 77 instead of 89 it's enough proof for me that they are the right clubs...at least for me!

PS: I saw the same set at SportsMart for $499...so if you shop around you can get a good deal. I'm not saying these are THE only clubs for you, but you really owe it to yourself to at least TRY them before investing in a set of clubs.

Good luck with whatever you choose!
