Nike Slingshot OSS Irons Review

Who can tell me a little something about these? I see from my new golf digest that they took the editors choice award and I'm going for news irons this year.

I can't tell you much about the OSS irons, but I do have the Tour Model Slingshots, which offer very little offset and thinner topline, but still are very forgiving and workable. Kind of the best of both worlds. When hit on the screws, they feel very soft. Not much has been said about the Tour Model Slingshots to my surprise. They (Nike) just might have a hidden gem on there hands with these. Hope this helps some. Just ask away if you have anymore questions.

I just switched from the regular SS to the Tour model and they truly a step above as far as feel/workability/no loss of distance on mishits.

I love the Tours.

These clubs look like shovels. At address they are the most closed irons I have ever seen. We are talking hook city. I had to turn the face open to hit them straight....no feel at all. If your just starting out, want to spend $600 bucks and play with a gardening tool these clubs are for you.

I love these clubs. They hit great and feel great. I've dropped my score 7 strokes with these clubs.

I am beginning my search for new irons as well and considering these. I have a very high handicapp but I am looking to improve quickly with lessons and practice. How are these compared to those Hibore irons?

Have you seen the hibore irons? They all look like hybrids.

I got a chance to hit the slingshot oss's today and they felt pretty good. For me it is really hard to get a feeling for a club when I can't see where the ball went. I didn't hit the hibore irons though.

I tried the OSS out back when I was looking for clubs and thought they hit pretty well, but I just didn't like looking down at them, they were too large for my eye, and you dont like the look (regardless of the performance) you can't have them.

I love them. I tried out a bunch of different sets of irons and ended up choosing these. I tried about 10 different sets and opted for these because they just felt great. They're good looking clubs that aren't too bulky, and they hit really nice. I got mine from golfsmith online and switched the shafts for DG S300 shafts which are great. If you have any other questions shoot me a PM and I'll try and answer them.
