New Iron set....


Recommended Posts

So I finally settled (for now ;) ) on a set of new-to-me Nike TW Blades's.....though muscleback is probably a better description. I really didn't like the paint fill, so I stripped it all off to give them a cleaner look. The shafts are Dynalite Gold.

 

Played my first full round with them yesterday and was beyond pleased with how they played on the course. Even with the Dynalite shafts, they give me a noticeably lower ball flight than the GI's I was playing with, but they still held the green perfectly (when I hit the green anyway). Long story short...they feel great!

 

The wedges I've had for a while, Diamond Tour Inazone CNC Spin. I know a lot of folks turn up their nose at these clone type clubs...I do too for the most part....but these wedges are fantastic....and the heads are $12.50.

Love the look as well. Nike makes a fantastic (though under rated)iron. I've never been dissapointed with my two previous sets, and I doubt you will be with yours. Enjoy the new sticks BK.

Well, their heads are made by Endo, who makes 95% of the clubheads on the market, so they should be pretty good.

I agree with you about Nike though. I used to have a set of Slingshots and they are still some of my fav irons ever and the VR S wedge that I used to have is every bit as good as any wedge Ive ever played.

Arent they though! I put the FST Hi-rev shafts in them. Couldn't ask for more out of a wedge!

......The TWs were patterned after Tiger's "all-time favorite" set of irons(his words), the Mizzy MP-14s....

 

Ya know the ironic thing is it was the TW stamp that turned me off. Don't get me wrong, I like Tiger as a golfer, and love watching him play; but I've never idolized, emulated, or tried to "be like" any athlete. So albeit a little thing, stamps like that, or Jordan on sneakers, etc, etc just doesn't fit me. However......I couldn't argue with how the clubs felt!!

You could fix that with a grinder, you know... ;)

Nothing a smidgeon of lead tape couldn't erase.......

 

 

Fairways & Greens 4ever......

I like the symbolism of forever removing the, "TW" marking from my clubs instead. Even with the lead tape, you will always know its under there although it might give you a slightly higher launch angle.
