Looking for cavity back iron forged by Endo

Hey Fellas,

Really enjoy reading and learning from many of you out there. Looking for a quality playable forgiving (no muscle backs) forging preferably forged by Endo. Call me crazy, but not that impressed with much of the new stuff produced these days by the larger companies. Realizing needing to purchase an older model set from somewhere and having them refinished for a 'new set' is starting to set in. Thought maybe a couple of you guys can suggest a few models/brands with clean looks combined with a little forgiveness.

Much Appreciated,

John

I heard rumors the J40s were?

I think I remember reading somewhere that the Cleveland 588 CB is Endo forged. Maybe someone can confirm. Love mine...

Not Endo forged but look at the Titleist 718 CB. Looks great behind the ball, solid feel and very forgiving for its size. An underappreciated golf club.

Cleveland 588CB were and I believe Mizuno JPX 800 pros or 825 pros were as well

Epon irons. Af 303, 302, or 503 for more forgiveness.

Newer stuff? I really am not 100%, but I would assume guys at tourspec could help as they deal with a lot of JDM smaller companies that may use endo forged metals...as mentioned above, I thought some Epon were, which? I'm unsure... but I'm sure they could answer.

Our new FH-900 iron is Endo forged and extremely playable.

Now that, right there, is a nice clean looking iron

Nike VR Split Cavities were rumoured to be Endo forged. They certainly had a fantastic feel.

Bridgestone J33s were a very clean looking cavity back forged by Endo. Demoed them and they had a terrific feel.

Srixon 45 & 65 series are forged by Endo.

well I think they look great at address, nice iron Fourteen!

They are fantastic Kenny. I've seen them in person and the offset if a little more pronounced compared to that photo. They feel amazing, the shape is clean, and a nice medium size head that really gives off confidence. I'm looking to find something I love and not just really like. These would be money with a little less offset.

If you don't mind older sets but I know for sure that the Tommy Armour V-25 EVO are Endo Forged.

According to Curtis Alvarez, Fourteen Golf’s head of sales and customer relations, the FH-900 irons have about the same blade length as the company’s popular TC-888 irons, but slightly more offset.

As mentioned above...Bridgestone J33's are Endo forged. I have the J33 combo set, feel awesome.

"Older model set ... Ben Hogan Apex Plus from 1999-2000...

Just curious but why does it have to be Endo? Kyoei (I believe is the name), Miura and some other Asian brands are easily just as good.

Or better.

I have had set of endo 503's since March.They replaced my Honda tw737p's which replaced my i200's.They are very forgiving and feel great.I play to a 8 hdcp and have played all kinds of mizunos and the endo's feel even better than the pxg's I also demo'd.

yes they are but honestly its a stretch to call them a cavity although i never considered them hard to hit. Probably why i still have two sets lol.

the offset thing makes me sad.If not for that I would be seriously thinking about a set. Too much offset is an instant no go.

Doesn’t Endo forge a lot in their Thailand factory?

Really appreciate all the good thoughts guys. Just looking for a very good quality set without plastic decals and something I'll love the look and feel of. You guys on here never disappoint with your help and knowledge.

I've got a couple sets of really nice Endo forged Tourstage from a few years back.

The TS-201 http://www.bs-sports.co.jp/press/2001/ts_ts201/ts201_3.html

And the MR-23 US Spec.

I think they probably tick your boxes as far as offset and overall look are concerned.

I would also suggest the Tourstage 701CB.

Awesome clubs.

I went on a soft forged quest a few years ago. Bought and sold numerous irons sets but have kept these.

PRGR idbl's are lowest offset CB irons i own. Short blade length with a meaty wide sole, with decent feel.

Callaway Prototypes / X forged [Furyk model] Stenson Legacy forged Black. Blacks feel the softest to me out of the group and everything else i have.

14 TC-910's endo Thailand? Impressive under the radar set.

Just got some Epon AF-502's only hit a bucket of range balls with these but i was not disappointed in any way. Not a disappointing amount of offset, have a fairly wide sole, nice leading edge relief, felt pretty good. These were $2000 in 2009 now $350-$400. Kinda wonder why they aren't in more bags.

Kinda happy with my little group of irons, i'm no expert but i am thinking most of these listed are endo forged.

Best of luck in your search.
