Hello all. It’s been a while since I’ve posted, but I finally got moved. Now I live about 5 miles from TPC Sawgrass (sorry, had to brag lol). Anyways, I found a set of Nike Vapor Pro. 5,6,7,8,9 iron. Driver, 3 wood, 4 hybrid and vapor bag. Below is what I have. Which do y’all think is the better set? Should I keep what I have, or sell it and buy the Nike’s?

I posted pictures of my clubs, and the Nike’s.

Ping G30 Driver (and tool) with brand new ALTA Shaft and brand new DRI-TAC grip. Nike SQ MachSpeed 3 wood with UST Mamiya AXIV Pro Force shaft. Nike T60 7 wood (probably my favorite club in my bag besides my driver) with Fujikura Ignite shaft. TaylorMade RBZ Tour S 5 wood with RBZ RUL70 shaft. Taylormade R7 4,6,7,9,PW. TaylorMade Tour Burner 5 iron. Ping Tour-W SW. Wilson Ultra 8 iron. Ray Cook SilverRay SR500 putter. Nike Xtreme Sport IV bag. I’ll also throw in about 50 Nike balls.

This is always a tough question for us to answer. It is so personal. I think the Nike irons are better than the R7s. But I've played the G30 driver and like it a lot.

Yeah. I was just talking in general. Which set would be the better set?  And yes, I love my G30. If I do sell my clubs, I may just keep it. Thanks for responding.

ummmm  Keep Both????       

 

I mean I like having a fluid set of Irons, so, how about keep the Vapor Irons, and use the other stuff for practice or a backup set

It is what it is

    • I'm not sure you're calculating the number of strokes you would need to give correctly. The way I figure it, a 6.9 index golfer playing from tees that are rated 70.8/126 would have a course handicap of 6. A 20-index golfer playing from tees that are rated 64/106 would have a course handicap of 11. Therefore, based on the example above, assuming this is the same golf course and these index & slope numbers are based on the different tees, you should only have to give 5 strokes (or one stroke on the five most difficult holes if match play) not 6. Regardless, I get your point...the average golfer has no understanding of how the system works and trying to explain it to people, who haven't bothered to read the documentation provided by either the USGA or the R&A, is hopeless. In any case, I think the WHS as it currently is, does the best job possible of leveling the playing field and I think most golfers (obviously, based on the back & forth on this thread, not all golfers) at least comprehend that.   
    • Day 115 12-5 Skills work tonight. Mostly just trying to be more aware of the shaft and where it's at. Hit foam golf balls. 
    • Day 25 (5 Dec 25) - total rain day, worked on tempo and distance control.  
    • Yes it's true in a large sample like a tournament a bunch of 20 handicaps shouldn't get 13 strokes more than you. One of them will have a day and win. But two on one, the 7 handicap is going to cover those 13 strokes the vast majority of the time. 20 handicaps are shit players. With super high variance and a very asymmetrical distribution of scores. Yes they shoot 85 every once in a while. But they shoot 110 way more often. A 7 handicap's equivalent is shooting 74 every once in a while but... 86 way more often?
