Nike NDS Irons Review

Back in the days before I was using my Mizuno Mp62 or even my Maruman Conductor AD460, I was using Nike NDS Irons. NDS stands for Nike Distance Series. I had irons from 4-Pw.It came stock shaft with True Temper Uniflex.

Head
The design is rather interesting. It has a back miror finish with matt metal all round. The size of the head is a medium size. It is something like a cavity back both toe and heel containing most of the weights. This will help the launching of the ball into the air quicker.

Feel
The material used to make the head is a 431 soft metal (so they claimed). The feeling of the hitting the ball is rather surprisingly soft. it has little feedback and that is darn goof for a cast iron.

Forgiving
It is a set of very forgiving irons. The sole of the club is not wide. I would probably say about 2 cm wide. but nonetheless it is able dig into the ground should you require such stroke to be performed. Thus far i have never shancked using these set of irons. These set of irons are progressively offset. meaning, the offset degrees contained in the 4 iron is much more than in PW. It is not that difficult to work the ball on a 7 iron and 8 iron because is slightly closed

Loft and Lie
The loft and lie for these set is standard. A 7 iron has 35 degrees loft. However, with these set i tend to hit the ball very high. It seems to be easier to launch into the air but this also means that it launches into the air very early. Now I know that Nike is new in making irons (when i bought these) these set of irons actually help beginners to play a round of good golf. But for seasoned players, these irons may seem to be too basic and it won't fair well in windy conditions.

The Shaft
All i can tell you is that Uni Shaft is darn heavy. It doesn't react well in these irons. I can tell you that these irons could perform better if you re-shaft them into your appropriate swing speed shaft.

Grip

Standard nike embossed Golf Pride grip. Not really a good one to use on a wet day. It will become very slippery.

Price
Cheap. i got it like USD 299 for 4-Pw...
