Callaway X-22 tours vs TM Tour Preferred irons vs Ping I10

Which is more forgiving?

First, of the Callaway x-22 Tours, the Taylormade Tour Preferred irons, and the Ping I10 irons which do you think are more forgiving. For those of you who have had the opportunity to hit all three, how would you rank them in your overall preference? Thanks for your input.

My vote for most forgiving of your three options would be the X-22 Tours......but just slightly over the Tour Preferred's. But I still much prefer the feel and playability of the Tour Preferred's. Great irons that don't have much offset, have a great sole grind and are still pretty forgiving. I have never liked the i10's......very little feel and not forgiving at all. The best combination I've found of forgiveness, playability and feel go to the i5's.

I agree with you on the sole grind on the TM tour preferreds. Thanks

x 22 for forgiveness, but Tour Preferred for an overall better club.

I found the X-22 tours were far more forgiving then the Tour Preferred's. The i10's were slightly more foriving then the TP's.

Even more forgiving then the X-22 Tours are the older X-20's and if you find them they'll be on sale too.

I've heard several people say the TM tour preferreds had good feel for a cast club. I liked the Callaway X-tours and noticed less bounce on the X-22 tours than on the forged X-tours..

Any other opinions? Thanks for your input.

X-22 are the most forgiving in your list, also the most GI. In contrast to what was said before the i10s actually have good feel (though not as much as a player's iron is expected to have) and are pretty forgiving. They are well behind in that department compared to the X-22s, but they are more forgiving than the TPs.
