  Would anyone please share your mapping for the new Nike Vapor Iron Set L100 - I use the 20X1  RZN  L80 or the 20X1-X RZN  L81 balls but would gladly, graciously accept the mapping for any ball.

  I will also gladly  send some balls in appreciation,

  Thank you

  Are the Vapors that much different from the R11 and VRs? The rated distances are the same for all three.

  Go with the L81 ball (less spin and 100s have more than prev irons).  Will play v sim to L90 R11s / L97 Nikes. 

  EDIT: With respect you might be as well, if not better off, with an easier going say L34 Cally.  Whatever you do settle on a ball, and don't go swapping.

  I have had all three sets of irons, and the latest Vapors are fractionally better than the Level 97's. But, the Nikes, both sets are more accurate than the R11's, and so one can put full BS on most shots and still get the distance as quoted.

  From the 6 iron down to the wedge you are going to lose a few (4 - 5 )  yards, and even get some spin on the green.

  Top spin works especially on the 120 wedge, it can go up to 128 yards on a flat green like Beth #1.

  Obviously the Nikes are easier to ding than the R11's so you will find you are getting the best and maximum out of the club more often.

  I use level 92 Nikes mostly, but callaways work pretty good, just a bit quicker.

  This is such important advice. It may be the "king" of tips

  YEP!!  and it is/has been one of my biggest game flaws.  I always go back to the L33/L37 callaway but with so many different golf balls in inventory, I tend to switch them up a bit too often when playing rounds with random players.

  My other big flaw in the game is the number of putter changes I've had, but I think I am finally set on the Max putter that I'm using.  The increments just work perfectly with my lazy style of putting.  ( distance wise that is)  Example, I use the 20 foot scale on Champ greens but with the math as if I was using the 30 foot scale.  I add a foot or two to the power, but it pretty much takes out any formula needed for green speed.  With exception to big elevation changes.
