Is there anyone else that still plays with Nike slingshot irons? I just picked back up the game again after over 10 years of not playing. I have not had these on the course yet but at the range they have been awesome. Love the feel of them and they seem to be consistent. Just wondered what you guys thought of them

Thanks

More time on the range today with the slingshots and I am more then happy, anyone that does have a chance to try these....just do it! Lol....(no pun intended) they are deadly in my hands. They put the ball where I'm looking and I have never had a set play like that?

Looks don't hit the ball

True, but don't you want to know the girl is pretty even if you're having sex in the dark?

Beauty is only a light switch away.....does that answer your question?

So you're saying you always leave the raincover on your bag?

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.  If he hits them well, they probably look really good....

I would rather have something that performs well.
In my experience good looking clubs are for show, Fugly clubs dont worry about how they look, they just work hard to perform well!

I hated the look of my X-22s, until I hit them. Now I think they're real purdy!

And I admit, I didn't really care for the looks of the slingshots at first either. But after hitting them.....well,  still not real pretty but you couldn't pry them out of my hands now

I agree, you can have a $100,000  car but if it has no engine a $75 pinto will outrun it all day

That's a terrible analogy, who said pretty clubs can't perform? Anyway, the real point I was trying to get around to before humor got the better of me was that you are in what we call the honeymoon phase. Just don't be surprised when you're posting a swing video in two months wondering why you're hitting them all out on the toe. They aren't magic wands.

I never did say they were magic, and I didn't say a pretty club can't perform. Anyway, I'm happy and that's what matters . Maybe if you didn't make all of your purchases based on looks you might understand. But thanks for all your input

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By WillieT · Posted

      Day 27 (7 Dec 25) - Got in a few swings with 9i and hard foam balls in backyard.  Setup weight fwd (rebuilt left foot really lets me feel the weight in a slightly painful way) - kept the backswing to around 9 o’clock focusing on contact and resulting divot pattern.  Like how the hard foam balls come off the face (almost like real balls in sound).  A good abbreviated session as I only able to hit about a dozen balls in the fading light.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By iacas · Posted

      Not the part I was replying to: Handicaps did not go down much (like 0.14 on average IIRC?) when we went from 10/20*0.96 to 8/20. And a good chunk of that was from the +s.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      I think he meant in the UK. The old system was completely different from the new one. 10/20 x 0.96 vs 8/20 would really only impact very low handicaps I think. The 0.96 serves to increase differentials for plus differentials, where 8/20 vs 10/20 works to lower differentials for all. I don't know many plus golfers who would be upset that their index got lower. A lot of really good players don't even really keep their handicaps up-to-date. They're much more interested in their WAGR rankings which get them entries to certain events.

      Day 433 - 2025-12-07 Got some work in after Junior Elite before a night of sports (and the return of my wife!). Backswing work. Similar to what a lot of my juniors are doing.
