Any suggestions for high launch irons?

Question

I went to a demo day yesterday and had success with Nike 4d

slingshot Irons. Do you have any suggestions for other " high launch " irons? It was nice to see the ball up high for a change.

Answer 2

First, off, I would recommend staying away from the Slighshot.  There are really easy to hit, but next to impossible to control, making GIR really difficult.  My cousin shoots around 100-105 and he hit the old DCI Black irons, he finally ponied up the bucks and bought the Ping Rapture Irons, he now shoots about 7-12 strokes better.  Here is a bit from the Ping Website:

Rapture Iron relies on strategic use of titanium, steel and tungsten to create a high-performance, multi-metal iron. Careful analysis and application of each metal yields forgiveness and trajectory improvements while creating a face and cavity design that produces a solid, pleasing feel and sound.

I have hit both the Raptures and the Slingshots and the Raptures are so much nicer.  I would recommend going to your local golf shop and spend a couple hours hitting both, or your local course if they have a demo set and sit on the range for a few hours.  If you feel like spending $1100 the new Callaway Fusion Irons are also easy to hit nice and high!

Answer 3

Most manufactures have a high launch iron offering. Some alternatives to the Nikes include:

Idea Tech OS

Cobra S9

Tour Edge JMAX Quick Launch

Have fun!

Answer 4

Cobra S9s.  They are really good and forgiving.

Answer 5

It depends on the level of your game.  If you are just a novice, then the Big Berthas will get you there.  If your game is more advanced, then I'd look into the Cleveland HiBore.
