I can't think of any other new iron lately that looks better...G30...SLDR...*quiver*

I like the contrast on these...something different...but like I said, I'm a Nike *****.

Different strokes.  That's why there are so many different styles out there.....

I'm not even a Mizuno guy, but by God, to me, these MP-4's are the prettiest irons ever made!

It's a real shame that I'm nowhere close to being a good enough ball-striker to play them...... :8)

In David's bag....

Driver: Titleist 910 D-3;  9.5* Diamana Kai'li
3-Wood: Titleist 910F;  15* Diamana Kai'li

LOL, I could be wrong.  Maybe GMAC and Keegan actually own it. ;) Whatever it is, BTW, it's including an appearance on Jimmy Fallon by Rory and Tiger.** **I think it's officially Ror

Agree - those are damn nice. The 'players' clubs Mizuno makes are always pretty eye pleasing

That's exactly how I feel about these:

Pure sex on a stick.

I saw these and thought, "these are the prototypes, the are not putting these out". I will have to say I love the sexy look of my ap2's and anyone that see them in my bag makes a comment on how good they look. That being said, Nike makes ugly clubs. The sumo driver and some others. I do kind of like the red woods but I like red in general. Nike fans will like nike stuff but for me, pass.

The Sumo driver was made during the crazy square driver phase, and believe me that wasnt even the worst looking driver on the market. Anyone remember the Calloway FT-IQ or whatever it as called.

Yeah, you can't judge Nike today by their Sasquatch line. Their Covert woods are the best looking on the market, in my view. Play pretty well too. Hate the look of their irons... until these. Gorgeous. Dig the neon and black, too. Wouldn't have thought so if you'd just described them to me.

These were before I played golf. I look at these the way I look at old pictures of people dressed in the 70s and 80s. "It was a crazy time..."

Don't make me post a picture of my Sumo2 5900 3 wood and driver. I actually think they look kind of nice; don't like those vapor irons, though.

Why? Is there any specific reason? Or just unwarranted entirely?

Just have never gotten any good feel from their clubs and some of the past were just plain ugly to the eye at address.  To each his own and if you get the results you want playing with their equipment then go for it, but I just think other companies simply make better quality and performing equipment for the average player and not specific to their tour players.  At least Nike does not introduce something that is going to dramatically improve my game every three months like Taylormade does.

Yeah I think those classic all steel back blades are beautiful.  But I think these new Nikes are sexy as hell too.  Even though it's above my pay grade, I already want that pro combo set 2-PW badly.

Speaking of getting new Nike irons, I just got a job at Nike.  At the employee store they have a very limited selection of current Nike irons.  I wonder if I can get the 50% employee discount on a set of these through the employee website!?  For $500 I'd go above my pay grade and get those pro combos just cause I'd get a quarter chub every time I looked at them in my bag :drool:

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By WillieT · Posted

      Day 1 (19 Jan 26) - after a week lay-off due to travels, felt great to get in some drills in the backyard today.  Started with lead arm only short pitches focused on squared face and light divot post ball.  Haven’t done this in a while and it showed, with some skulls and slices.  Settled into easy flighted balls - wrapped up with standard two handed swings.  Good restart to the daily drills.

      That depends what you do within those two.  Are they your only options?   Check out Fit for Golf if you get a moment.  It's linked on the sidebar;  I did it for two years, stopped for a really bad reason, and I plan to get back to it soon.   Mike Carroll also has a great free podcast about a lot of topics in golf fitness.

      Day 30 - 2026-01-19 Got 10 minutes in on the mat / net working on exagerrating movements I'm working on. And grip. Also worked with my friendly AI to summarize key negative tendencies I have so that I can build a personal checklist to follow. Will do more mirror work tonight.
