The range of options accommodates players who encounter varied conditions at their home and tournament courses. Visit www.nikegolf.com for more information.


 

 

NIKE Cci IRONS

Nike Golf’s Composite Cavity Insert (CCi) Cast and Forged irons targets the mid-to-low handicap golfers. The irons feature inserts comprised of two key components, a high-density tungsten weight plug and a feel-enhancing polymer. The tungsten weight plug creates a lower center of gravity position to increase forgiveness while the polymer dampens vibration for a softer feel. Says Stan Grissinger, Category Business Director for Clubs and Balls for Nike Golf: “The CCi irons are targeted to the better players who prefer the look of a more traditional iron and want the perfect performance balance between feel and forgiveness.” Both the Cast and Forged CCi’s provide a clean design with a CNC Milled Face for more predictable distances and shot patterns.  The CCi Cast irons feature a thicker topline, more offset and a wider sole than the CCi Forged irons, which are designed to provide a high level of workability that the accomplished player prefers.
