Callaway......hands down.......ugly, but eeeeeezy to hit.......

The best kept secret in golf for game improvement "players" club :

Adams Idea A1 pro series, compact head,little offset,soft cast club with tons of forgiveness

X-Tours by FAR!

I really like the feel of the MP-27. They're Asian market only, but it's not a problem to get a set. They're a lot prettier than the X-Tours and are the easiest to hit of Mizuno's MP series.

I would say the Taylor Made Rac LTII's. They're cast, very forgiving and still provide great feel and touch.

If you still want to forged, although you're looking for a winter set of irons and forged rust more easily than cas, I would say the Mp-60's are a great set. If you want more forgiveness than the Mp-60 provide, look for the X-tour's or even the great Mizuno Mx-23

I've tried many sets of irons, but the irons I have just started using are the best I have ever hit. They are the 1 Irons. Same length, lie angle, weight, larger grip, and lcg. This is not an ad, but you asked the question.

I just about died laughing when I read this, it reminds me of a friend of mine telling me a story about a guy he knew. This is 50 years ago mind you, but this guy is always trying something different, not a bad golfer really but not that good either. Anyway, one day he's hitting his 9 iron very well, matter of fact it's the only club in his bag he is hitting well that day.

Next day my friend is standing on the 1st tee getting ready to tee em up when this guy walks up, ROTFLMFAO! he says, every club in this guys bag is the same length, he'd gone home and cut them all to 9 iron length. They play together that day, the guy sucks as usual with his new bag of all the same size clubs. LOL A week later he had them reshafted.

My friend tells this story on occasion and it's always funny, and upon reading this post, this is especially funny reading this in here.

I just reviewed the TourEdge Exotic "Hybrid Iron", which looks a LOT like a normal iron, and is VERY forgiving. Check it out at:

I know its tough trying to parrot everything you read without trying it. As for you friend who has a hard time playing golf, just cutting down your shaft doesnt do the trick.

I think you'd better step back and read what I wrote, instead of injecting what you thought I said.

With winter approaching, one needs a slightly more forgiving set of irons.  But no one on here wants anything that looks clunky.  So, what are the best "forgiving" irons that still have some level of player's club feel and profile?

 

TS-202?  Rac LT?  X-Tours?  MP-60?  Or something else altogether?

 

Let me know what you think.

Nike ProCombo OS's

Mizuno MX 20 or 23's - The 20's are exactly the same as the 23's but either set is a great price too!

I have a toss up between the X-Tours and the Titleist 762's.

762's are very easy to hit, and hit long. I keep a set just in case the swing really goes off track.

Ping Zing 2.

Or the older Big Bertha irons that were really thick.

Probably the xtours if you can live with the look.

Thanks for the input.

I went for the 2004 RAC LT; this only 2 weeks after getting my J33 Combos blurprinted by JoeK!

The 1 iron concept has gained a lot of converts, and IMO the idea behind it is very sound.

I would say the X-Tours are a great combination of forgiveness and playability. I'm surprised no one has mentioned the Mizuno MX-23s. I've not hit them but they have a loyal following.
