Golf Magazine praised this club in its 2010 ClubTest, saying:

"... stable through the ball on most shots."

"... very wide sole gets through the rough easily."

NIke has developed a very fast iron through new and dynamic construction that really works. My shots launched high and traveled far.

Irons are very easy to hit, very forgiving. You give up the ability to shape shots, if you are good enough to even attempt it, but if you want straight, consistent distance even on less than perfect contact, these irons are for you.

My old irons were good, Tommy Armour 845s Titaniums Stiff Steel. Changing to the SQ Machspeeds/Stiff Steel, they felt heavy due to the perimeter weight, however on the first swing you understand why as they almost bring themselves thru the ball on the downswing. Distance was very comparable, the Nike's maybe 3-5 yards longer at 150-185 yds, 8 Iron for 150 with either set, but the forgiveness was incredible. I am hitting more greens now and I also switched to Nike One Platinums so they stick once they hit. I backed up a 100 yd AW shot about 8 feet the last time I played and had NEVER done that before unless it was on a steep upslope.

I play SQ Machspeed all the way from the 9.5 Square Driver, 3,4,5 FW, 3,4,5 Hyb, down to 3-PW, SW, AW, LW. Going from 2 to 4 wedges made a big difference too! I love the AW, still having a hard time hitting the LW consistently. These truly are "Game Improvement" clubs, not the choice for a tour pro but great for everybody else.

Love the Str8Fit Driver too, no more fade and 275 consistently, replaced a TM R540XD that was a little longer on a perfect strike but a lot more squirrely anytime else. The Nike launches higher, is all carry, and rolls less. Given that I am in KC with hard clay ground, the roll is probably the difference in length. I've hit a few over 300 with the Nike too, when the ball lands on a hard spot and gets a big first bounce.
