  I have the bladez now. I am interested in getting either the level 85 nikes or the R11s. I was wondering if every one is still seeing a ton of in accuracies in the nikes. I believe i could handle the speed of the R11s. Now i know it is all going to be up to personal preference but  i would just like to hear whether or not it is really worth the move to the Nikes over the bladez or not.

   I used the Bladez from Master to Legend and loved them.
         A few weeks ago, during the 'Free Rental Weekend" I tried the L85 Irons & played 8 or 9 rounds with them. The 85's pushed the ball out about 5 yards beyond the Bladez but I couldn't see much other difference between the 2 (so I chose to wait).
          Three days ago I bought the R11s (finally got to L90) and have been working them ever since.  Tonight I shot a 29 in the  BPB F9 monthly Legend tournament with the R11's - and- if I could putt - it would have been more like a 27.  That is 1 to 3 strokes better than I was doing with the Bladez.  The meter is pretty quick - but if you shoot 2 or 3  18 hole practice rounds with the free WGT starter ball - the meter is easier to handle.
          Lottsa words - bottom line - wait for the R11s and keep notes on the corrections that you are using (on each course) with the Bladez - you'll be amazed at how close the R11 corrections are to the Bladez : > )).
  
  Good Luck, John

  Personally I have not tried the Nikes, but the Bladez are good but the R11s are game changers.

  If you can handle the speed I think it is a no brainer.

  Top Level R11's...  but they have a fast meter speed though.
