$799, steel; $899, graphite;nikegolf.com
We Tested:
3-PW with True TemperDynalite Goldsteel shaft
Company Line:
"These cast heads feature a composite-cavity insert (CCi).A high-density tungsten plug creates a lower center of gravity while polymer ports in the sole dampen vibration for softer feel."
Testers' Comments:
PROS
"More game-improving than a full-bore player's club." Mike Nastasi (handicap 7)
"The longest of the bunch. But a club that performs this well needs a better look." Anthony Spikes (1)
"Off-center hits feel almost as good as center ones." David Doctora (4)
"Shots from the rough fly like fairway shots." Kris Madsen (10)
CONS
"Can't knock down the short irons or keep them low. Which makes CCi better for 6 to 10 handicappers than 0 to 5." Chuck Del Priore (0)
"Chips come off hot. Face is too hard to playsome finesse shots." Zach Fasman (10)
