The Nike TW Blades
As described by Nike "CRAFTED FOR VICTORY"
"Nike Golf has been crafting Tiger's irons for over six years. In creating the irons that have more wins under their hosels than any other set since 2003, we've learned a thing or two about feel. About control. And about how many players can't hit blades. so our engineers asked Tiger for his input. What came out were three distinct ways for anyone to play on inspiration."
The Victory Red Forged TW Blade is a muscle back design which positions the center of gravity where it is most rewarding and allows for great control and shot making ability.
They are machined to precision from 1025 Forged Carbon Steel, with a milled flat face encouraging consistent contact.
The Victory Red Forged TW Blade comes standard with a True Temper Dynamic Gold shaft with X100, S300 and R300 flexes available. Shafts from Ust, Royal Precision and Aldila are also available upon request.
I am looking at a set of these flawless blades as I write this. It is said that Tiger himself will be playing these Irons, and I can see why. They are sharp.
Keeping to a traditional style blade, the top view of these irons at address is thin and very classy. The irons do tend to be more modern when it comes to cosmetics. With Tiger red, flashing its way across the muscle back and a hint of red in the R, it is apparent from first glance you are about to hold something special.
A blade is not intended for a golfer who can not break 80 and these are no different. They have no forgiveness and are meant to be hit perfect. Those that do hit it well and are single digit handicaps will quickly fall in love with the new found ability to work the ball in either direction rather easily. I must mention that worked shots still feel as solid as straight shots and distance seems to stay consistent with pure struck shots, no matter what action, fade or draw.
Couple these irons with a Dynamic Gold X100 or S300 and the ability to hit lower, driving shots that are less effected by the wind, seems almost natural.
The milled smooth face allows for great spin rates and if desired a high shot (coupled with address position) that lands softly is now in your repertoire.
I would recommend trying out these irons and when compared to the other blades on the market these are as nice to swing as the rest and are as comparable in price.

Nike Sq Dymo STR8-FIT Driver
The New Nike Driver for 2009 could be for everyone!
I have been lucky enough to experience the new Nike Driver recently and feel I must voice my opinion. It is a great club and will be in the hands of many golfers very quickly.
In following with the tendency to go square, the new SQ Dymo comes in both a square head and a more traditional round head. Many golfers ask why do companies continue with both shapes, and the answer is quite simple. A square head goes straight and is harder to work the ball in different directions. The traditional round head can be worked, allowing the golfer to hit a fade or draw, which is not as easy with the square technology. Both of these heads for the Dymo are easy to look at and just as easy to hit. I took a liking to the square head and found it to be very forgiving.
Loft
Nike is realizing that more options is a good thing in golf, due to the vast number of different swings. Thus The Nike SQ Dymo STR8-FIT driver comes in 5 lofts 8.5 9.5 10.5 11.5 and HL. Allowing all golfers to find the club that is just right for him or her!
The big change
The STR8-FIT
Just what is STR8-FIT. NIke has, like a lot of golf companies, has started experimenting with a changeable head. I have to admit that I feel that this system that NIKE has invented may be the most simple yet most productive design on the market. STR8-FIT refers to the new hosel system that with a wrench, quickly removes the shaft from the head and can be repositioned to change the lie of the face. AS described by NIKE, this adjustment allows the user "8 unique head positions, delivering 8 different ball flights to either dramatically correct your ball flight subtly perfect it". These positions range from open to closed and are easy to locate.
The wrench is stored in a neat little pocket on the head cover and is really easy to use.
As is standard with NIKE. The SQ Dymo STR8-FIT comes with a selection of shafts, however most come with the PROFORCE AXIV.
After hitting the Square SQ Dymo for awhile I found it to be very forgiving and easy to swing. The impact was very solid and to my surprise the sound was not as bad as the first generations NIke produced. I thought it was a very user friendly driver and would recommend that any golfer fighting with consistency should try it. I think that golfers with high handicaps will be rewarded instantly with the STR8-FIT system and after a little trial and error at the range will find a setting that will improve their driving accuracy immensely.
The NIKE Sq Dymo STR8-FIT Eight Settings, 5 lofts, 5 shaft flexes, A Club for everyone!
