  I have to agree with ujjbnjk on this one Jim. The BB and Nike are both horrible

  Obviously I disagree but only based on what I have experienced. The BB is worthless, IMO. Don't ding it and all hell breaks loose. I stayed with the R11s for the longest time because of that until a free rental weekend after the Nike came out.

  One round with the Nike and the BB and R11s went for the down payment. It remains a solid performer to this day.  :-)

  This could turn into a bun fight if we're lucky but I'm squarely behind the Nikes and I'm only using the cheapos. I can't see anything in between here and the Fusions that meet my criteria. It's possible something else may get released in the meantime as I've got lightyears to go before then.

  I was bursting with curiousity so i went ahead and rented these:

  Callaway Steelhead XR Iron Set (L85+)

  Played with the NIKE Vapor Fly Pro`s L80 before, only difference in stats is Cally`s meter which is 4.2 (nike 4.0) but there stops the similarities. The Cally`s blow those damn Nike`s out of the water!

   

  If you missed the ding in some sort of crosswind with the Nike`s all hell broke loose, with the Cally`s, NOT! Really like the Cally`s, sold my Nike`s :) Much more "feel" in Callaway, just shot 61 at S:t A - full length - and it`s suddenly fun to play again :)

  The red putter is strikingly similar to the Max putters...even has the same increments.

  Actually it looks like the actual putter... they just screwed the face up... not black...

  I agree they never add new stuff a course here a day there  just made Callaway name replace  Nike that's it .2 for meter same old story w.g.t they told me they'd  be adding avatars to here custom for mobile like 2 years ago and not any new ones  added they care only for ball sales it's amazing  just like leveling  up takes so dam  long I was off and on like author of this post  take half a year to hit 103 if I got 90000 points  every 10 days to reach  they ,it so much they won't add avatars or to mobile either just ball sales

  Now that is not quite true is it? Who is it you are trying to convince, us or you? I suppose it depends which you consider more important, precision and spin against an imperceptible slowing of the meter.

  Verrrry inter-esting....  [as Arte Johnson used to say]

  Is it possible that the extra 0.2 meter is just enough for you to hit consistently closer to the ding?  What about the 3w and driver?  Anyone else notice this?

  Wow, please tell me English is not your native language. Normally I will not comment on a lack of punctuation, spelling or grammar, but those are just words on a page that make little sense.

  If you expect a Moderator to comment on that, or anyone else for that matter, it would pay to take a little more care in posting something that someone can read and understand.
