They had a look that was all business and was quite tasteful at address. Overall, they are an excellent next step above the Ignite set, which offered absolution for just about any swing. On flushed shots they felt great, but this high level of feedback on mis-hits could take some by surprise. My only complaint with the CCi cast irons would be that they felt a little harsh on mis-hits.

The Dynalite Gold shafts were of a good weight at a low to mid 120-gram weight, and their lower kickpoint design helped to elevate shots quickly and easily. The offset was minimal enough to leave room for shot shaping, with the ability to hit the straight ball being their forte. I liked that the set came as a 4 iron through gap wedge (or AW “attack wedge” as it is marked.) This leaves room for a hybrid in lieu of a 3 iron, and the gap wedge, which is essentially a pitching wedge for modern iron sets, is already included. The ball flight of the CCi cast irons was high, as their design would tend to hint at. In this sense, the shot feedback is very good it just might surprise you much like it did me. Hit these off center on a cold day and you will feel it. The feel was surprisingly, shall we say, close to that of forged. The shot performance suffered very little, with very good dispersion on off-center contact. It was on off-center contact that I was quite surprised at just how well these irons let you know that impact was less than perfect. The feeling of the ball leaving the face is very smooth. This is said to further dampen impact vibrations.Īt impact, feedback of the CCi is soft, due to the softer 431 stainless steel, and the Carbon Cavity Insert seems to do well to muffler impact vibrations of well-struck shots. One very unique feature of the CCi irons are a pair of “dampening plugs” that are located heel and toe in the soles of the heads, and actually are cut into the soles and travel up to the cavities. The idea behind the cavities is to lower the center of gravity while dampening vibration. Inside the cavities there are tungsten weights surrounded by a polymer “mold” -if you will. The sole widths are quite wide and again provide a safeguard against “fat” shots. A chromed finish provides some flash to the soft 431 stainless heads. When were the Nike CCi Irons Released?Īt address, the CCi cast irons are a midsize design, again featuring a medium topline and progressive offset through the set. Again, in keeping with the “hide and disguise” tactics, there is a lot of technology incorporated into a clean design. I would imagine the CCi’s are meant to bridge the gap between the Ignite irons and the upcoming CCi forged set. Nike Golf has released their CCi and Ignite Hybrid irons sets, and they have done a fine job of “disguising” clubs that are “good” for us -with a little flash so we don’t realize it. So when it comes to getting people to play forgiving clubs that might actually help them score better, manufacturers are using the “hide and disguise” tactic kind of like burying green vegetables under melted cheese for the kids. Let’s face it- egos can sometimes get in the way when it comes to golf and the equipment we choose. Their biggest challenge isn’t developing more forgiving clubs, but getting us to pay attention. More and more, I think manufacturers are doing all they can to help us score better.
