Hip check is killing me in that interview...

[Sakman]

Any pics of the VRS Smokes?!?!? (wink wink)

[pitbull808]

I've been testing the Japan SQ Machspeed Forged and have been pretty amazed how easy they are to hit yet trajectory was so easy to control. It's a tad chunky from the top for my eye but the workability makes you forget that pretty quick. I think the VRS forged will be a great set that you must try even if the name Nike puts you off.

[freeman929]

Great pics irons look great. Might have to try 'em.

[tbomb]

Dumb move catagorizing it 12-16 handicap bracket, then talking about how Tiger loves it, and how a couple LPGA ladies are gaming it. (I understand it's a somewhat informal interview but how many PGA guys have we seen with G15's?)

Should have just rolled with the how it can cater to any player.

Every year Nike grows on me a little more, they just need to dial in the fw's and hy's imo. (Or re badge the Sq/SQ2)

Thanks for the interview!

The iron looks good/clean and it pro-forms so what more do you need to say.

[dunn]

Nike stuff is pretty solid, dint know bout their early stuff but I have hit all their current and could easily game a whole bag of Nike.....

Lmtd edtn woods
Method putter
Vr wedge
Vr pro irons mb or cb
Hybrid

All felt solid and the irons have one of the best address looks in the biz..... Sharp and boxy

It is unfortunate that I have been turned off to nike golf clubs. I started golfing 3 years ago and went and bought all Nike Equipment. Machspeed Driver, Irons, Hybrids, SV Tour Wedges, Dymo 3 wood. While they were a good starter set, the both the driver and the hybrid broke at the hosel. The Driver Broke 4 times, after the final time I said I wanted something different, Nike said no so I got rid off it all and refuse to go back.

Nike said no? Or the retailer that you purchased the clubs from?

Nike. The Retailer was also no help. I will never buy other golf club from Dicks Sporting Goods again. I spend alot of money there buying a new set and they treated me like I was an idiot when the Shaft broke.

[WVP]

I think these should be a big hit - there's really not a huge selection among forgiving forged irons.

[Miles]

These look good for gi clubs, agree that there aren't too many forged one's out there. My little cousin is quickly improving and I think these would appeal to him.

My first set of clubs were all Nike's. Worked in a golfstore so got them at a good deal. Really impressed with the build quality and especially liked the sq2 3 wood. Unfortunately I grew out if the uniflex shafts in the irons far too quick.

[apex1996]

I had a chance to hit these the other day and they are very solid irons. I play the pro combos and couldn't be happier. That being said I really have to question the pricing for this set. The gi forged market has some great clubs already like the mx300, jpx800 pro and bridgestone j38-40 dpc. Head to head I really don't see someone spending the extra money.They are solid clubs though.

I had tw blades and made the switch to these . There coming in the mail tommorow and then there getting dropped at my local clubbuilders studio so they can speced out right .. But may stop at a range first

I hit these today in a store simulator... forget the looney numbers I was putting up (PR's to be sure), but the feel was amazing for a forged... different, but sweet-amazing is how I would describe it. last 3 years (full FL seasons), I've played mp-53's, jpx-800 pro's, honma tm202's, and taylor made r-7 pro's... and they all fall short IMO. Have to try them, that's all I can recommend... I have to spend a sweet portion of my tax refund...

Vr pro combo cb
Adams cb2
Adams cb3
Srixon z star
Srixon ztx
Anser forged
Titty ap2
Amp forged

There is prolly a few others I forgot but yeah, probably the biggest market in clubs right now is the GI forged iron but yeah not too many..... Lol

Don't forget about the JDM market they have more than we have ...........

Well I think the CB3's and the Amps came out after I posted that. And to me many on your list fall more in the lower HC category, but no big deal in any case. I was thinking of forged offerings for the 10-18 HC, and I'd put the VrS, CB3's, ZStar and Amp in that category.


Depends on whose game the GI irons are improving I suppose!

I totally agree most of Dunn's list are not classed as game improvement irons generally. ANd i have also just ordered a set of the VR_S forged with c tapers cant wait to see how well i top them haha

[BUZZMAN]

i went to 2 demo days on which most all companies were there..........i hit just about every game improvement iron out there......and only 1 of them made me say WOW!!! for me it was these nike vrs forged.......and i didn't even want to hit them......never have liked nike irons......but i borrowed a couple of tee's off the nike guy......and he said......sure.....if you hit this iron!!! i knew nothing of this iron......i took the 7 iron......and it was beautiful.......i was stunned......a little bit thick top line......but still a work of art

i set up and whack!!!!!!!! wow was the first thing i said........about 160 and nice and high and straight........lol not as soft as my old miz mp 32's.......but great feel and easy to hit.......really!!! i went to try RBZ's and never looked at them again..........i have been playing r7 tp 's for 4 yrs now.......great iron......but these nikes will be in my bag soon

after hitting all the new equipment......the only irons that came close.......in my opinion......were the adams cb3 forged......real close.......but i like the slightly larger head of the nike......i'm getting old and need help.......i still creep into the 70's on good days and want to stay that way!!!!!

[corsaro1200]

One Demoday and I was hooked! They just felt right.
Went with the Stiff Stock Shaft, because for me the Nike Regular Shaft are a bit floppy.

My 3- Aw Set arrived yesterday, sadly the weather here in Germany isn't any good at the moment. So they just sit in my bag and wait to be hit.

First thing I will probably change is switching the "slick" Nike Grips for red Golf Pride VDRs.

Will post more once I put thm in play.
