About the Nike Forged Pro Combo
The Forged Pro Combo was Nike's first combo iron set, arriving in the company's opening seasons as a clubmaker and establishing the template its later Pro Combo and VR Pro Combo sets followed: full cavity-back 3- and 4-irons with a low, deep centre of gravity, muscle-cavity 5- through 7-irons, and bladed 8-iron through pitching wedge for feel and shot making. Lofts are fully traditional, with a 35-degree 7-iron and a 47-degree pitching wedge. It is commonly catalogued as a 2003 model; year_introduced records the 2002 debut per the repository convention. In 2005 Nike split the line into the Pro Combo Tour and Pro Combo OS. Figures below are the standard men's steel specification (graphite builds half an inch longer).

Frequently asked questions
What is the loft of a Nike Forged Pro Combo 7-iron?
The Nike Forged Pro Combo 7-iron has a loft of 35 degrees, with a 62.5-degree lie and a 37-inch steel-shaft length.
Are the Nike Forged Pro Combo irons blades?
Only the short irons. The 3- and 4-irons are full cavity backs, the 5- through 7-irons use a muscle cavity, and the 8-iron through pitching wedge are blades - the combo construction the set is named for.
When did the Nike Forged Pro Combo irons come out?
Nike debuted the set in 2002, within its first seasons of making clubs, and it is usually catalogued as a 2003 model. The identical loft ladder returned on the 2011 VR Pro Combo, and in 2005 the line split into the Pro Combo Tour and Pro Combo OS.
Finding a used set
The Nike Forged Pro Combo ran from 2002 to 2005 and is no longer in production, so the used market is the only source. Search eBay, 2nd Swing, Golf Avenue and the PGA Tour Superstore trade-in listings, and check the loft and lie against the chart above before buying — sets this age have often been bent from standard.

- golfclubspec.com 'Forged Pro Combo' (2002) entry - lists an identical loft/lie/length ladder, and is the same entry cited for corroboration in this repository's VR Pro Combo file, whose 3-PW ladder matches this one exactly.
- Pitchmarks 'Nike Irons By Year' - Nike launched the Pro Combo in 2002 and expanded the range with Tour and OS versions in 2005, the basis for year_introduced and year_discontinued. Retailer archives (e.g. partradeins) catalogue it as a 2003 model, reflecting the model-year convention noted in description.
- The three-head construction (cavity long irons, muscle-cavity mid irons, bladed short irons) is described in the golfclubspec entry and period retailer copy.
