Description The new 2006 version of the Nike Slingshot OSS irons. Designed for the mid to high handicapper looking for a consistent, forgiving iron. Options include graphite or steel shafts in several stifnesses,...
Summary: All I need to say about this club is WOW! This is an awesome set of clubs. Nike got it right with these. I bought a set last night for $275. I took them out this morning, and I was impressed. It is hard to hit a bad shot. Everything was straight and high. If you are looking for a forgiving set of clubs... BUY THESE. They are extremely easy to hit. I read a few reviews that said that you couldn't feel good contact. I think that is far from true. I felt good contact with all the clubs, and my swing even feels a lot more smooth. It is a very balanced club. What is lacking with the OSS is distance, especially with the long irons. I noticed that on my first shot. I don't try and kill the ball, so it may affect me some, but I am willing to sacrifice a little distance for incredible accuracy. I was most impressed with the short game. This is where I have had the most trouble with other clubs. These are exactly what I needed. I was especially impressed with the wedges. I can see the mid 70's in my near future!

Shoots in the 90s

Summary: I'm a high handicap golfer that struggles with inconsistent iron play that just kills my scores. Finally decided to try some "game improvement" style irons.
Demoed the Cleveland Hibores and Tour Edge varieties, but both lacked a sense of feel on good or bad shots.
Eventually bought the Nike Slingshot OSS irons with graphite shafts. Dramatic improvement immediately. Only slightly more distance but much higher trajectory. They also straightened out the shot pattern. Still hit bad shots but that's just me.
In conclusion, I highly recommend the OSS for any golfer who is inconsistent in iron play.

Summary: Very nice irons.
Bought them this year March. Easy to hit, just great feelings. Used to play many different irons, but these are the best. First time using Nikes, but Nikes have done an outstanding job. I would definitly recommend these irons to whoever looking for smooth, comfortable sets of irons. Just great.

Shoots in the 80s
Model Reviewed: Nike Slingshot OSS
Summary: Traded in my Callaway X-14s for these and like these irons alot better, took a few rounds to get use to the wider sole, but now I can hit flop shots and chip great with them. These irons are as good as game improvement irons get, I shoot int the low 80's and High 70's and they are great for me, anyone who says they cant hit these probably should try another sport.

Shoots in the 100s
Model Reviewed: Nike Slingshot OSS
Summary: I picked them up for less than $300 (4-AW). They sound nice at impact. They make a whistling sound that may take some time getting used to. Overall great value, great product, great quality. Nike's doing very well for themselves.
For those of you Taylormade, Callaway, Ping, Titlist fans out there you should consider a Nike set. Many of the tour pros play them. Of course they naturally have talent but Nike products have helped them along the way on the tour.
When you hit a perfect centered shot it almost feels like a hybrid since at address the stance of the irons is so wide.
Anyways, i've only played 1 round of golf and went to the range with it once it's great thus far.
Only con I have is that the sole of the club gets scratched up after one hit no matter how good you hit it. When playing at the course and making divots it's 100% you'll get scuff marks. However, other than that I highly recommend it.
