About the Nike Slingshot Tour
The Slingshot Tour was the better-player member of Nike's Slingshot family, co-developed with input from Nike Golf's PGA Tour staff for golfers who wanted a classic profile with the Slingshot's game-improvement technology underneath. Compared with the original Slingshot and the wider, more forgiving Slingshot OSS, the Tour's Slingback bridge sits lower profile and less visible at address, the head is more compact with a thinner top-line and minimal offset, and the body is milled from 431 stainless steel (25% softer than the 17-4 stainless used in most cast irons) paired with the same Custom 455 stainless face as its siblings. Lofts carry over from the rest of the family, with an 18-degree 2-iron and a 34-degree 7-iron running to a 46-degree pitching wedge. The stock set was 3-iron through pitching wedge in steel only, with the 2-iron available as an individual order.

Frequently asked questions
What is the loft of a Nike Slingshot Tour 7-iron?
The Nike Slingshot Tour 7-iron has a loft of 34 degrees, with a lie of about 62 degrees and a 37-inch steel-shaft length.
What is the difference between the Nike Slingshot Tour and Slingshot OSS irons?
The Tour has a more compact head, a thinner top-line, minimal offset and a Slingback bridge that sits lower and is less visible at address, aimed at better players. The Slingshot OSS has a wider sole and more visible Slingback for maximum forgiveness. Both share the same loft progression and Custom 455 stainless face.
What clubs came in a stock Nike Slingshot Tour set?
The stock set was 3-iron through pitching wedge, in steel shafts only (True Temper Dynamic Gold R300, S300 or X100). The 2-iron was available as an individual order.
When did the Nike Slingshot Tour irons come out?
Archived retailer and specification records date the Slingshot Tour to 2006, the same year as the Slingshot OSS; the earliest known review of it is archived from November 2006.
Where it sits in the lineup
Introduced in 2006, the Nike Slingshot Tour is a current players distance set in the Nike range, with no replacement announced. New sets are built to the standard lofts, lies and lengths in the chart above, though a fitting can move any of them — so confirm the numbers on the order sheet. Used sets appear on eBay, 2nd Swing and Golf Avenue, and should be measured against this chart before buying.
- golfclubspec.com 'Nike | Slingshot Tour' specification page (golfclubspec.com/iron_results.php?id=27, also archived by the Wayback Machine at web.archive.org/web/20101031082439) - supplies the full loft/lie/length ladder for 2-iron through pitching wedge used above (18/58/39.5in through 46/64/35.75in), notes the set is steel-shaft-only with the length column specific to steel, and names the standard shaft (True Temper Dynamic Gold in R300, S300 and X100) and standard grip (Nike Slingshot Tour).
- The same publisher's compiled Nike manufacturer catalogue, archived at web.archive.org/web/20101031081905/http://golfclubspec.com/irons_specs_mfg.php?mfg=Nike, lists only four Nike iron entries in its database - 'Forged 2002', 'Slingshot Tour 2006', 'Slingshot OSS 2006' and 'Forged Pro Combo 2002' - dating the Tour to 2006 alongside the OSS. This is the basis for year_introduced 2006 rather than 2007.
- equip2golf.com 'Nike Slingshot Tour Irons Review', earliest Wayback capture 12 November 2006 (web.archive.org/web/20061112230550/http://equip2golf.com/reviews/irons/nike_slingshot_tour.html) - confirms the 3-PW stock set with the 2-iron sold individually, the 431 stainless body ('25% softer than the more commonly used 17-4 stainless steel') with Custom 455 face and thinner top-line, the shallower and less-visible Slingback versus 'the original Slingshot and Slingshot OSS irons', minimal offset, co-development with Nike Golf's sponsored PGA Tour staff, and $799.99 set / $99.99 individual-iron pricing. The review frames the Tour as the option for 'better golfers looking for additional forgiveness' while pointing forgiveness-focused buyers to the Slingshot OSS.
- No independent (non-Equip2Golf-family) source with numeric lie or length figures was located, and no confirmed discontinuation date or direct Slingshot-branded successor to the Tour nameplate was found - by 2007 Nike's better-player irons shifted to the separately branded NDS and CCI Cast/Forged lines rather than a next-generation 'Slingshot Tour'. year_discontinued, predecessor and successor are therefore left null, and confidence is set to medium: the loft progression matches the well-corroborated Slingshot/OSS family ladder, but the lie/length columns and the exact 2006 dating rest on a single publisher's archived pages.
