What are some Mid-Capper Irons...

[Norboo]

Looking for some ideas on mid-handicapper iron set with distance and forgiveness within the last 6 years?

I just put a set 5-Pw of Callaway apex cf 16’s in my bag and am loving them. It might be a honeymoon period but they are the best feeling irons I have ever gamed. Check out CPO if interested.

I just bought a set of those for my dad. Great clubs!

Funny, I was just looking at those irons.

I'll 'third' the suggestion for Apex CF16s, they can be had for a song right now too since the CF19 are out.

 

My CF16 irons are the only things in my bag I havent switched out in the last 2 years.

[SecondandGoal]

I just switched to a set of Rogues, and absolutely love them.

[KMeloney]

TM P790s certainly fit the bill. AP2s should be on the list, too (although the P790s are longer and more forgiving, in my experience).

[GoGoErky]

Depends on how good ball striking is.

[Pi5seeker]

Maltby TE or DBM forged are easy to hit and you can pick any shaft and grip you want for a good price.

[wam78]

Srixon z585, cobra forged tech black, Bridgestone j15 cb, df, ping i200, Mizuno mp 54, mp h5, mp h4, jpx models to name a few. Really depends on what you like to look at in terms of size and offset. Two recent models that stood out to me with feel and ease of use were z585 and forged tech black. Some great options out there used as well to help save some cash.

[Hack31]

TM P790, Apex CF 19, JXP 919 Hotmetals

All are very forgiving and are significantly longer then other "PI" out there

 

[erock9174]

10.5 cap.

Been playing the Ping G700’s for 2 seasons now.

[gswanso2]

srixon z785 with nippon 120s. just got them and theyre spectacular

[PopeofTexas]

Another vote for the CF16s. I’m a 13 at the moment and bought a secondhand set this year. They are amazing. My prior set was Ping G25s which are highly regarded and great clubs as well but I like these a lot more.

[lyons107]

P790 good looking, forgiving and great distance

[jboogie146]

Ping G700's are great. I'm a 6 handicap and use them. Great forgiving irons that are easy to hit and long.

I would also vote for PING G410/700 or i210. Whatever style you like more.

[dalehead]

Mizuno JPX 919 Hot Metal Pro

[MTgolf]

Taylormade PSI. Little older, good prices on used sets. I gamed them for years and loved em.

[SUITS]

If you don’t care about distance go i20 or i25. Great for me. Pretty normal distances but solid feel and forgiveness.

[Tommyj]

Any Ping G series iron if you don't mind moving more to the GI side of the spectrum. Mizuno Hotmetal are another good option, look at the Pros if you prefer a somewhat smaller head with less offset.

[Johnny_Fairway]

I picked up some used Cleveland CBX irons and they are easy to hit.

[TIM929]

Titleist TMB full set.. easy to hit/ very forgiving/ and you can grow into them as your cap drops.

[North Butte]

In my experience anything made by Ping and starting with the letter "G" or anything made by Mizuno with the words "Hot Metal" in the name would be a very safe bet. Also Taylormade irons starting with "M" are probably OK if you don't mind the lofts for a given number of iron being stronger than most.

[awhit1187]

HMPs are incredible clubs and fit perfectly within the mid-handicapper range. Don’t let the “pro” name make you think they aren’t forgiving or meant for mid-handicappers. They are very forgiving, but just don’t have as much offset as some others in the range, and the topline is smaller than some of others in range.

[jimb6golf]

Doesn't it depend on your ball striking ability and consistency? Mid HC irons are really GI irons and range from more bladed styles to deep cavity backs. The real decision should be based on your ability to consistently hit the sweet spot - get more forgiving irons if you're not consistent in your strikes. And then it comes down to feel. I see too many people playing more bladed style GI irons and then hitting it terribly. As the old saying goes 'play the most forgiving iron you can stomach to look at'.

[MrMikeHz]

Can't go wrong with P790's...only negative is the ease of working the ball left or right...they fly pretty darn straight.

[Optimus-Par]

I have played some Callaway Steelhead XR Pro's on and off for about two seasons and they are super-forgiving.

[mwink822]

Lots of good options out there, but my short list would be Ping i210, MAYBE Titleist AP2, Titleist AP3, Mizuno JPX 900/919 Hot Metal, 919 Hot Metal Tours, JPX 900/919 Forged; Callaway Apex; Callaway Rogue Pro; Taylormade P790; Taylormade M.

[Radeon962]

6 hdcp and played P790 last season i200 this season but found a cheap set of Ping G's that arrive today after not liking the G410's so have to see how that goes. Most likely will go back to the 2017 P790's as I have missed them a lot since I sold them. With the new 790's hitting in September I hope to find a "cheap" set of the original 790's and just go back to them and be done with switching irons.
