Great thread here. Thinking about replacing my '16 Cobra Forged Tec (which I absolutely love!). I've just worn played them so much that the soles are dinged enough to make 1982 Toyota Corolla look good. I've noticed nobody has mentioned the 2020 Forged Tec? Are they that bad in comparison to the the others mentioned? Also, am thinking about going back to cast for durability. Is there anything out there that is going to feel even remotely close to a forged head? The other thing I worry about is the random "fliers" that cast irons produce. Oh, and totally up for finding used clubs in very good to excellent shape 2018 and newer. 

 

Seems as though 0211 or Hot Metal Pros are the logical choice but would love to know how they stack up to the '20 Forged Tec. 

 

 

 

Can the irons you love so much really be that scratched up, on the SOLE no less, that it affects their playability ?

 

Or do you just want new irons ? (Not that there's anything wrong with that. )

 

As for fliers,,,,,,,,,, ALL irons produce fliers under certain conditions.

 

Otherwise, put fliers in the same category as ghosts, goblins and ufos.

Titleist AP1s. Easy to hit and clean looking.

 

But this is coming from a guy who played Rocketbladez for years, so I guess I'm not the most discerning guy on the block.

Thanks so much for the the responses. It really does seem as though the PXG are the best route. Probably need to bite the bullet and make the trip to Chicago for a fitting!

If your experience turns out like mine, you will be VERY PLEASED you took the time to do so.  Played both the 0211DC and Gen 3 0311 XP this season.  Kept the Gen 3’s.  Very, very close performance. $90 / head vs. $135 / head.  Still both below most OEM clubs AND 8 day delivery.

PXG Gen4 XP irons, hands down the best

Hopefully the op has gotten new clubs by now, but I'll throw the Maltby TS1 into the mix, along with the already mentioned Mizuno JPX921 hot metal

Maltby have 3 heads that fit this criteria at a much better price: TS2, STi2 and Tour+.

He also said best feel so yes.

If you are into steampunk, maybe? And feel is totally subjective, there is no unit of measure for "feel". So what is the "best feel" then? Soft? Firm? Solid? Mushy? And what ball are you using to make this judgement?

I am waiting on a schedule for my PXG fitting. I think the 0211 stuff looks great and will see what the ST's feel like compared to my KZG blades. 

 

Didn't mean to get you all bent. You are totally entitled to love ugly a** clubs. Somebody has to. 🤣
