I have a 9 handicap and I've been hearing great things about the Nike Slingshots. I've also heard that they are for people with high handicaps (easy to hit).. I would like some feed back on these clubs before I go out and buy them (Good or bad). Thanks...

I have the Nike Slingshot OSS and love them. I am around a 12 and find them great for my game. Not sure for what exactly you are looking for but I will explain why I got them.

My favorite clubs are fairway woods....so the big widesole feels like a fairway wood to me. I had the lie adjusted by Nike after hitting on a lie board. I am tall and hit long so I dont care too much about added distance. My only complaint would be that I hit the ball VERY high with these. That has more to do with my swing probably. I think they are easy to play out of the sand...due to the wide sole again. I am extremely happy with them and love the feel. They only complaint I hear from others is the longer irons make a little bit of a hiss due to the open cavity on the wide sole...but it doesnt bother me....it actually helps my with rythem and swing tempo.

Shots fly off the face nicely...but I would not consider it a club for working the ball. Hits em high and straight. Pretty good for the slicers out there as I am. I hit these with a very slight fade....but can draw them if I keep my arms in.

If you are looking at the regular slingshots...non OSS....I cant comment. But I imagine they are fine clubs. My rec is to hit on a lie board and get them bent properly...like I did.
