Nike Forged Blades
5 of 6 found this helpful Like - These are more foregiving then I had thought for a blade. You can work the ball easy and they line up better then my Ping ISI and I 3+ blade. These have two degree more loft then some other heads, but it seems to help in accuracy. Some will lose distance up to a club, but put it on the green and who cares, the game is about a score and having fun.
Love - I was not sure if I could play a true blade with a 8.5 handicap, but I shot a 39 on the first 9 holes played with them. I am much tighter with my patterns with these then the Ping I 3+ Blades because they line up better to me then the offset of my Pings. You need to get fit to your swing and height so you also can take advantage on the way they line up. Went to a course that my previous best was 86 on and shot a 79 and a 76 this week. I have had these Nike blades for two weeks now. I hope I continue to hit them this well for a long time.
Dislike - As with any blade you have a small head and a small sweet spot and you will feel the feed back and the ball will be effected more then a cavity back but not as bad as I had thought with these when you get a little fat or hit toward the toe. The graphite shafts look great and but one has broken already right at the hosel yesterday. Will probably reshaft tomorrow with steel in the 9 iron to see how it feels.
Why I decided to buy these - I had a demo day at my club about a month ago and hit everything Ping and Nike had. The first hit I just really liked the Nike blade. It felt great on the seven or eight balls I hit with the six iron. Well for my 50th birthday I just had to try a set and at $300 off ebay I thought I could get close to my money back if I could not score with these as well as my Ping ISI. I thought it might be a joke buying these but so far I am very pleased. Even the Nike Rep. said "I had to have a set of these but they stay in my closet". I took that to be a nice (these are hard to hit) statement. My playing buddies are no longer saying I want to play with you as soon as you get them. Like they thought I would be easy money.
I like them, they look great, they are different from the cavity backs that I usually use, and the game of golf is really fun right now they way I am hitting them. I have stopped the pull hooks and having to aim right due to the offset and possible the wrong lenght and lie of the other clubs.
If you get a chance, demo a Nike Blade and see how it feels to you. I was very surprised. Remember you have a small head and sweet spot to hit the ball on, but It has been a pleasant change for me.
These want be for high handicappers but even mid cappers should demo the blades just to see how they feel, and see where they are on a repeatable swing.
