Nike Slingshot 2's or Callway X20s?

[SimonB]

Im about to buy a new set of clubs looking at £300. I have found Nike Slingshot 2's or Callway X20s. What are your views on these clubs? Im a high handicapper

Dont know much about the Nike Irons,but the X20 irons are great,very forgiving....

 

[Redwood]

I'd take the Cally's, better irons, imo, and you'll get better resale on them should you want to sell them on.

 

[robbest3offthetee]

Sorry mate,forgot to say welcome to the forum,agree with Redwood,Callaway have a better re-sale value,however you could play with the X20 s for a good few years....

 

[SimonB]

Thanks guys.
I like the look of both. I was swaying towards the Nikes as they come with Hybrids. Im abit hit and miss with 3 / 4 Iron.

 

[robbest3offthetee]

Simon, Go somewhere you can try both sets of irons and see what best suits you and your swing,its ok asking for advice but at the end of the day you have to play with what you choose....

I have X20's and they have been nothing but good. They are a really good starter to intermediate club. Very forgiving but still reward a well struck shot. They do send the ball quite high, but thats never bothered me personally. Also persevere with the longer irons, the 4 iron is my favorite club.

I started off with Nike Slingshots. Didn't get on well with them, the regular shaft felt like jelly. I personally wouldn't recommend them.

I've got to the point now where I want to move to a more players club, but the X20's will be staying in the cupboard just in case.

 

[SimonB]

Thank you for all your responses. Off to American Golf saturday to test them out.

Mizuno MX 200's have come into the mix. Any opinions on them?

 

[philly169]

American Golf should match any price as they have a price match gaurentee.. Everytime I buy clubs, I find them cheap on line and go into the shop try them out then open the page on my iPhone... I got £50 off my Mizuno MX-950 irons/hybrids, £20 off my G15 3 wood.

Don't forget though that the X20s and X22s are reasonably different clubs - the X20s are massively forgiving but the X22s are less so and perhaps more suited to slightly better game-improvers than beginners.

I also had to choose and ended up with the Yonex VMXs from American Golf. They're outstanding and compared with the Ping G10s and X20s there was no noticable difference. They're also excellent value at AG (or were a few weeks ago) at £279 for 4-SW. I would wholeheartedly recommend them.

I went for Cleveland CG7s in the end. They Felt just right for me.
