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

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:

Okay...  I kinda like the look of the new Vapor line, I would try them but with thin patience lol

      Driver and Fw3 Swing Weight Changes, Make Sense?

      By BananaBomber · Posted

      I am currently playing a Cobra Ltdx LS 9 degree driver and Cobra Ltdx LS FW3. Both with Tensei White stock stiff shafts and original weights of 12g (heel) and 3g (toe). My miss is usually a pull fade or sometimes a slice, swing is out to in. Driver swing speed about 112 mph. Grips are stock regular. Intended change: Driver: Switching to Tensei White x-flex one inch shorter which I suppose would be 44,5? Changing heel weight to 18g. Changing grip to Golf Pride Z-grip cord midsize. Change hosel setting to standard draw. FW3: Changing heel weight to 16g (apparently not available in FW weights, but supposed to be something called "internal weight" a club builder can add which fits between the weight and the screw?). Change grip to Golf Pride Z-grip cord midsize. Changing hosel setting to standard +1. The goal is to 1) get better grip since I tend so lose grip in warm and moist conditions with the current grips and 2) mitigate the misses to start more straight with less side spin. Also considering adding the Cobra Ltdx LS FW5 instead of my old Taylormade R9 and getting 14g heel and 6g toe weights with the same grip as the others and hosel setting standard +1.   All of the above is based on conversations with ChatGPT and, as everyone knows, it can come up with pretty much whatever but I spent a few hours asking about different perspectives etc and this was the recommendation. So, my question is basically, does it make any sense?   Thanks.
