Consider the following features when deciding which Nike irons are most suitable for your game.
Nike irons – cavity backs
Cavity back Nike irons have a hollow in the back of the club head. This creates more mass around the perimeter of the club head. Nike irons with cavity backs are therefore less prone to twisting when you miss the sweet spot. This makes Nike irons with cavity backs more forgiving. Many tour professionals now use cavity back irons. Nike irons with deeper cavities are more forgiving but offer less feel to your shots.
Nike irons – blades
Bladed Nike irons have a thinner club head and no cavity in the back. Nike blades provide lots of feel but are less forgiving to hit. Blades are best suited for players with low handicaps.
Nike irons – shafts
Nike irons with graphite shafts are lighter and more suitable for golfers with slower swings or higher handicaps. Golfers with fast swings usually find they are more accurate with steel shafted Nike irons. Most golf professionals with Nike irons play steel shafts. New Nike irons with graphite shafts typically cost euros 100-200 more than a set with steel shafts.
Nike irons - flex
Nike irons with regular flex shafts will be suitable for most golfers. If you have a low handicap or fast swing you may prefer Nike irons with a stiffer shaft. If you have a higher handicap or slower swing you may prefer Nike irons with a more flexible shaft.
Nike irons – lie Nike
irons with a standard lie are suitable for most golfers. If you are a tall golfer or have a more upright swing you may prefer Nike irons with a lie that is 1-2 degrees upright. If you are a short golfer or have a flatter swing you may prefer Nike irons with a lie that is 1-2 degrees flatter.
