Fresh off Golf Digests Hot List, this Nike Slingshot Iron uses the Slingback technology. What’s this I hear you cry? Well… The slingblack technology is a metal bar arching from heel to toe positions the CG low, rearward and in the heel of long irons to facilitate squaring the club head at impact. This creates a higher ball flight for long, soft-landing shots.
Throughout this set, the flow weighting of the sling back design shifts the CG higher, closer to the face and towards the toe as it moves toward the short irons. Why do you want to know all this babble you’re asking? All the above means that the progression reduces the launch angle and increases the spin rate. This helps prevent shot from ballooning while maintaining the ability to hold greens.
The distance between the arcing Slingback and the center point on the back of the clubface is a constant six-tenths of an inch.
The sling shot of the on the Slingshot irons is revolutionised because the CG of the iron is suspended the air behind the face unlike other irons which have the CG within the clubface.
