I love these irons! I have had some problems with my left elbow. I decided to get graphite-shafted irons to relieve the shock on my elbow when I swing (I had done some research on the subject before taking this action). I decided on Nike because the irons had very wide soles on the clubs as well as the graphite shafts. Upon receiving the irons, I have taken them out for a few rounds. While I cannot yet say that I have had much relief in the soreness of my elbow, I can, unequivically say that these clubs are exceptional. The balance, feel, and swing weight are terrific; I can maintain wonderful control with them and the feel of hitting the ball is perfect... smooth with no shock. I am about a 10 handicapper, I am 63 years old and I feel that these clubs are really amoung the nicest sets of irons you could buy at this price and I have priced and tried them all (almost)... you will not be disappointed if you try these.
