What’s the most forgiving forged iron that you’ve ever played?

Used to only play with forged irons. Not a big fan on the feeling of cast but am only playing once or twice a month so need some forgiveness built into my clubs. What’s the most forgiving forged iron you’ve played?

Mizuno MX200's were super forgiving. Callaway Razr XF were crazy easy to hit although some may question if they are truly forged or not. They felt nice to me

Just posted this back in October

OP, don't get hung up on 'forged' clubs. Ping i200 and iBlades are very soft feeling. But to answer your question, AP2s, MP53 and MP5s are some forgiving forged for me.

I had a set of Callaway X14 Pro series years ago, they were decent clubs. More recently I had a set of AP2's you could hit those things anywhere on the face and it just went.

I swapped my PING G25 for the 2013 JPX EZ Forged about a year ago. Absolutely love them. They are just as easy to hit as my PINGs.

Pretty easy, MP 29, 33, 68, 5,

2013, 2018 X Forged, and a host of others including Hogan and Bridgestone.

TM RAC TP MB's: Perform like cast PCB but have nice forged feel.

From my experience , P770, Nike Vapor Pro Combo and Apex Pro

I'm still playing my MX 200's. I've bought a few iron sets since I bought my 200's but the 200's continue to be my gamers.

1) Adams CB2

2) Nike VR Forged

As Golf64 said, Pings have great feel to them. My iE1’s are very nice.

Nike VRS Forged

Maltby DBM

Hogan apex plus

716 AP2

Fg tour f5

The 716 AP2 are really good but the Z745 I think are a smidge better in terms of forgiveness.

Wilson V6.

Mizuno JPX 825 Pro were ridiculously easy to hit. I have the Hogan PTx now, and same thing, amazing feel and just pops the ball right up in the air

For a true forged iron, nothing compares in terms of soft feel, performance, and most importantly forgiveness to the Bridgestone J15 CB.

Fantastic.

AP2 is forged? I thought they are partly forged — the ‘chassis’ is forged, which has nothing to do with feel, and then the club itself is multi-material with a steel face attached to it. And the OEM makes players think it is forged by writing ‘forged’ only on the portion of the club that is forged. It is a marketing play because they know so many players get hung up on forged vs cast.

They sure don’t seem forged in the classic sense, as you would experience with a muscleback or true head forged from a single billet of steel.

VR Forged Pro Combo are super forgiving

Tom Wishon's latest forged irons, the 565MC forged irons, are one of the best forged iron heads I've ever hit, and they are very forgiving. Give yourself a treat. Find a fitter that has Wishon stuff and give them a try. You can probably have a set custom built for you for a lot less than a set of big box OEM's and you will have a great set of irons.

AP2 has a forged face... in fact, the only parts that aren't forged are some insets in the cavity and the tungsten weights. Even you 965s that are coming are multi-material (tungsten toe weight in longer irons)

Also, the chassis forging absolutely makes irons softer. Go hit the Cally Apex or your 565 4-iron and you will feel that.

I agree, however, that one piece forgings are overall the softest.

If someone is curious re getting these, I am considering selling my 565MC heads.

Wishon 560MC - as forgiving as a SGI iron, but the looks and feel of a forging.

I've found all of the AP2 series to be quite forgiving.

Covert Forged 2.0 or Bridgestone J15CB

I’m a little biased here as they’re fresh in my bag, but my TM 790’s are very forgiving to me. The only other forged iron I’ve ever had were some Mizzy JPX 900 forged and the 790’s are way more forgiving for me.

J15 CB was a forgiving iron. I have a set of Cobra SS Forged that were pretty good.

Myself, I am a different bird - I find that MB clubs are the most forgiving (whether forged or cast) ... I am currently dialling in a better shaft for myself and the best results, regardless of shaft, is always with a muscle-back head. I get better trajectory and spin numbers as well as ball flight and dispersion with MB heads over any of the forged or non-forged more forgiving heads.
