Nike Slingshot 4D Irons
Nike Slingshot 4D Men’s Iron Set
Progressive iron sets are all the rage. They come from the obvious, but belated, realization that a nine iron is not just a shorter four iron. Now in addition to varying loft and length, designers are repositioning weight, resizing soles and shifting offset to make each club as playable as possible.
When I started making clubs, the pro I worked with told me that in every set, there is one “favorite” club. That was the club where the length, loft, lie, swing weight, sole width and weight distribution came together perfectly. The goal of designers now is to make every club the “favorite” club.
The new Nike Slingback 3d Irons are a case in point. The slingback—which has been used in other successful Nike designs—is positioned differently in each club to create a specific ball flight. The long irons feature wider soles for a higher launch, while the soles on the short irons are thinner for greater control. Finally, progressive offset is designed to make each club as accurate as possible.
