Most forgiving iron with thin topline and no offset?


flog2

Recommended Posts

Everytime these threads come up I can only think of the Bridgestone j38/40 DPC. Both have longer blade lengths and a thin top line. Very minimal offset if any, and very forgiving. I have a set of the 38s as my backup set and while they look larger than my z745s, the Srixon top line does look chunkier. The stones can be had cheap, too.

Do the Adams XTD forged fit the bill? Thin top line, forgiving- would you call these a "Blade"?

Every time I've posted in a thread like this, I always say the Scratch EZ-1. The topline on those are just as thin if not thinner than my Callaway blades. I haven't hit the second version, but I imagine they're just as nice.

Bridgestone came up before but finding a stockist is a challenge

This and if looking for newer, the J15 DPC are a bit larger and certainly forgiving.

Srixon z945 - they are terrific, thin top line, minimal offset and a lot of forgiveness for a blade.

Maltby DBM Forged. Less offset than most irons and very forgiving.

 

Those irons look great. I would think the new i200's would fall into this category now as well.

I think the z565 and z765 look really incredible for forgiving irons.

Does it have to be new? I challenge you to find a more compact, low offset iron than the Maxfli Rev Black

Let me know if you guys want any more pics. I've got a couple 4-gw sets. The finish is outstanding too. That set has about 30 rounds on it and shows virtually no wear. No bag chatter due to silencer stand bag.

 

Thanks man!!! Those look awesome, nice thin top line, I am impressed...
