Oh my goodness that Alien wedge (your avatar) looks risky. I wonder how many people attempted full swing flop shots with one of those and bladed the ball onto the next tee box (or club house patio).

LOL... I actually saw that thing earlier and without looking closer, thought it was an old ugly driver...

For forgiveness I like Callaway's first forged iron set. X Tour.

I would agree I played the X-Tours for a couple of season they are forgiving with and offer anyone wanting to curve the ball the ability to do so as well. I could easily for back to this iron.

X-Tours were GREAT. I still have mine, with the PX 5.5 (satin) shafts. Got them for $600 virtually brand new. A Golfsmith salesman bought 'em, tried them a few times and put them on the used club rack for about 775 or so and then GS ran a 20% off ANY used club promotion and I grabbed 'em.

I do believe they are one of the early mixed metals though, i.e. forged fused to,,,,,,, something else,,,,,,,,,,

A lot more recommendations of irons that the OP should not even consider. They are nice players irons with forgiveness but not something a weekend golfer needing a GI iron should play.

Sorry but this is not an older thread. But this is a thread with a lot of recommendations that would be mis-guided based on what the OP was looking for. Someone looking for similar information as the OP would get a lot of incorrect information. It seems every time a thread starts with someone looking for forged GI irons, the thread is hijacked by forgiving forged players iron recommendations. There are other threads for people looking for more forgiving forged players irons.

The OP didn't ask for opinions on forgiving forged GI irons. He asked for forgiving forged iron recommendations. So people have given their OPINIONS on what they deem to be forgiving forged irons.

[ABgolfer2]

Define forgiving?

On programmed slight mishits by a robot hitting balls off a tee or by humans trying to deliver the club head to the ball from an endless variety of lies?

I would go with the forged-faced Cleveland TT's or MT's. I personally prefer the TT's, but higher handicappers may find the wider faces and soles and the hollow design of the MT model a bit more forgiving.

The heads on these feel as soft as any fully-forged clubhead I have ever hit despite the fact that only the faces are forged, not the full clubhead. TM seems to like the design of the TT's as well, because their SLDR iron design looks very similar to the TT's but with weaker lofts.

I feel the 588 MT/TT irons are very underrated sticks indeed, possibly due to the stock Cleveland Traction-85 steel shafts. With a premium steel shaft, these irons are the cat's meow! (I ordered mine with Project-X shafts in 5.5 flex). Be prepared for extra distance because these irons do have extra-stong lofts. Easily a club and a half longer than traditionally-lofted iron sets. The stock steel shafts are longer than standard too, contributing to distance gains, (5-iron = 38.5"). I ordered my PX shafts the same length as the stock shaft since I like my irons 1/2" overlength anyway, and also prefer a heavier feel for good control. My TT set with PX shafts at the stock Cleveland shaft length have a swingweight of D-5 which feels absolutely perfect to me! I am loving these 588 TT's!
[/quote]

I totally agree with the praise of the 588TTs, once you get them with the correct shaft for you (KBS Tour in my case). However, please don't add to the ongoing myth that the shafts are longer than standard. They are not, if you take into account what lofts the irons have. In fact, in the shorter irons, the shafts are on the short side. I was pretty surprised to see that the PW (at 44°, which is more like a traditional 9-iron), is only 35.75", which would be the average length for a 47° PW. It is the same length as my 48° Vokey wedge, which I have used as a PW in the past and half an inch shorter than the 43° 9-iron of my last set of Wilsons. 38.5" is also a normal to short shaft for an iron that has 24° of loft, as the 5-iron of the 588TTs has. In many players' iron sets, this is the loft of the 4-iron, and those 4-irons are usually 38.50" or 38.75" long, depending on the particular manufacturer and how they measure length. So, in my view, the shafts are not longer than standard.
In any case, the 588TTs are great irons, but it is a little tough to find out the correct spacing on the shorter end of the bag. I finally went with the 49° so-called "DW" of the set and then with a 54° Vokey SW and 60° Vokey LW. I am extremely happy that I did. The wide sole of the DW looked strange to me at first, but this thing turned out to be both an excellent gap wedge for full shots and also outstanding for longer bunker shots.

[/quote]

Forgiveness is based on humans hitting off center shots and how the club minimizes how far right or left the ball flies and how much shorter / longer the ball goes. Not based on some number based on a robot. Most of these recommendations are for cavity backs that offer some forgiveness for shots slightly off center. But for a weekend golfer, their shot off the toe will end up right and 20 yards short.

[/quote] Weekend golfers can hit the COG every tr and still hit the ball all over the show if their club head speed, face angle, and swing path are inconsistent.

I guess if the OP was looking for max GI with forged feel - a property that many say does not exist - he must be in the market for the elusive Posers Cavity Back irons.

The OP was looking for the most forgiving forged iron, which there are a few to choose from, the operative word is few. Since the are no SGI forged irons (at least sold in the US), so that leaves GI irons. But most of the suggestions are not even close to what the OP was looking for. They were suggesting what they play, player cavity back irons. Some even suggested muscle back irons.

[casey_0507]

Yeah musclebacks are not the best suggestion however players cavity backs fit the bill. That's what I would consider the amp forged I play and they are very forgiving. But I'm picking up what your putting down.

[/quote]

Well, forged isn't likely to be large SGI heads but quite a few forged clubs have medium size heads. Sets like J40DPC, MX200. The ones that are more challenging are the small heads like the Mizuno MP series, Callaway X-Tour, stuff like that.

I for one would be very interested to know which forged clubs have medium size heads - the information isn't easy to come across. There's the MPF score for "C" but that's about all unless you scour the archives and reviews.

[bobbydazzlewazzler]

X-Forged 07 - IMO a great set of forgiving forged sticks and can pick them for next to nothing on the bay..

[MtlJeff]

The new 850 forged is actually quite a bit larger then you would think. They are dangerously close in size to the old JPX800 (which was a bit smaller then the 825's that i play).

For a forged club they are going to be very forgiving, i've only played around with them in a sim though

[phil75070]

Having seen and hit it I would say the new Bridgestone J15DPF falls into that category of forged GI irons, though certainly not a super GI club.
