    Personally I'd go for the L90 R11 irons.  I only tried the Nikes during a free rental but they didn't play as well in my opinion.

    The L97 Nikes on the other hand.......

    Great question.

    r11 faster meter high precision low miss tolerance

    v 85 Slower meter less precision likely even less miss tolerance.

    Now you decide which is better.

    Firstly your question. The R11s are far superior to the Level 85 Nikes. But I note you are using a starters ball. Unless you have cat like reflexes, the R11s and a starter ball is going to be hard. I only tried the Nikes on rental, and I was not overly impressed, and did not have the stopping power of the R1s - but that is from Legend Tees - shorter approaches from Masters could be a difference but think longer term.

    Secondly, your bag.........it is a mess. You have an older driver, two 3Ws and only 2 wedges. 

    Your Irons are rated I think 100-200 yards. Without looking, your 3Ws probably are not much more than 200, so why have either.

    Your wedges are OK but....one is rated 100 yards, the other 85 yards. So you have two clubs rated the same distance - ie one is a waste. Personally I would  recommend  3 wedges, but with your irons 2 will do but I would opt for one rated at 60 yards to give you better options (and remember the punch option)..

    Before you go out and spend credits, choose your ideal set and work your wedges back from the pitching wedge, The 100 yard wedge may not be much use now, but with an upgrade in irons may well fit in.
