thanks for comments.. i think I need to test drive some more out ! nike sq machspeed seem to fit the bill as well.. lots of low back weighting.. same sort of price aswell... A guy had R9's and swapped to the machspeeds.. ill report back once ive tried some out.. even if it helps some others decide..

Hi. Ive got some wilson irons, about 7 year old now, cavity, and my handicaps 22.. and going down as I'm playing more often. I tried out some Wilson Di9 and Nike Slingshot irons up at my local range the other day, and the ball goes a little further than my old irons, but not loads. The main thing I noticed was there was very little shock travelling up the shaft to my hands .. and although its hard know, maybe they were a bit more forgiving as my scatter pattern of ball landings werent too bad.. i was all set on the Di9's over in the Uk for around £200 on sale, but then I came across a site doing some Taylormades R9's for £300 on special offer.. now im not really into just paying for the name, but these R9's retail new at £700 and the wilsons Di9's about £350... is it worth me stumping up the extra £100 and would i notice any difference? Many thanks for future comments...
