Summary:
played with these irons numerous times, very dissapointing, i watch my partners play with the same slingshots, and they seem to leave something to be desired as far as distance is concerned, my older set of callaway x14 pros is about one and half to two clubs longer, they look cool in the bag, but that dont pay the bills now does it

Summary:
I bought a new set over the winter with a bit of trepidation as a result of the mixed reviews on this site, but have been very impressed after a dozen games. They do all of the good things noted and have helped me get in to the seventies more often than my old clubs did.
I am particularily pleased with the consistency & confidence inspired by the 3,4&5 hybrids which is a bit of a surprise. I'm getting 210-20 with a sweet high draw out of the 3, making the need for extra fairway woods in my bag practically redundant.
I bought these clubs primarily because of Golftowns super blowout price in the hopes they might magically provide me a more consistent level of play. To my surprise, they have delivered that in combination with a huge boost in the enjoyment of my 3-5 iron play.
I appear to be on my way to a single digit cap again and credit these clubs as the main reason for that turn around.

Summary:
I was shooting in the high 90's in 2006...Saw these clubs on Golf Digest Hotlist for 2006 receiving the Editors Choice Award for Super Game Improvement Irons(and other years since)...The OSS model got even higher reviews than the original Slingshots I have, but I have not needed to switch...I could not have been happier...shaved my average score down to about 82...every now and again I shoot 78...The only thing keeping me out of the 70's every round is my wonky putting-which I am working on with a belly putter...But my Slingshots are killer...Every round is superb with my irons...all shots are long and high and most importantly straight...My driving is awesome now too thanks to the Nickent 3dx Square driver I have been using for 3 years (also a great club...I bought a 3dx Square for my dad in Florida...he's killing this driver also)...But anyway I've loved the Slingshots from the moment I brought them home...so easy to hit and so straight...My only gripe may be the thin Nike grips on them...but I just make sure my glove is decent & it is no big deal....I am sorry others haven't liked them-I don't see how...I am trying to get my brother-in-law a set...he's a firefighter shooting in the 100's, but is getting better everyday-I think Slingshots will fix his iron play instantly.
