Best Feeling CB

[Lip1337]

Hey there,

 

First of all: i live in Bavaria in a 500k City, but i have no Chance of Hit These irons with the Right Shaft… some of them (heads) are not not available in the biggest Golf Store. (Which is a joke compared to Golf shops in the US)

 

so „Go and try“ comments do Not help, i would love to try them 

 

the question Is simple:

 

what Is the Best feeling and looking Club from the following list? They should perform pretty similar if a Head Stood out for some you, please let me know 

 

- t100

- TCBs

- Apex Pros 21

- JPX 23 Tour 

 

my current Gamer Performs very Good but Even slight mishits feel pretty Bad.

though im happy with em! Head Shaft combo is a killer… i just would buy the new irons with DG again. 
 

Thank you guys

TCB or the Mizuno from your list

I’d also recommend W/S CB and the Cobra CB

Unfortunately 'best feeling' is a bit subjective. I can try to help by describing them from my opinion:

 

T100 (my current iron) has a nice crisp sound at impact, with a very subtle hollow feeling to me compared to something more one piece.

 

TCB and apex pro are fairly similar to me, I haven't hit either in a while but from memory it's a lower pitched sound.

 

923 tour is as CB as you can get before its an MB, as such you get a dense sound with a mid pitch.

 

Off center, T100 probably is the most stable out of the lot so factor that into your decision. 923 tour is the most blade like in performance.

 

As far as looks go, your best bet is to look at address photos on google if you can't demo

Do you remember how the JPX compare on mishits? Performance and feel wise?

JPX 923 tour is very much like 620 CB in that regard - slight stability on off centered strikes, but a noticeable drop off in performance. That being said it's definitely closer to a t100 than a blade.

 

Feel is more or less what you'd expect from that club - you'll know you missed it or you'll know you've flushed it. Whether or not you can live with the performance drop is the deciding factor.

 

I notice your signature has Apex Pro's in your WITB. The JPX is definitely more in the players category compared to those.

 

If you are looking to change to something more forgiving on off center strikes without compromising on looks and feel, I would suggest t100 out of your list.

P7MC worth a look too. 923 would feel best from your list. T100 sneaks closer to the apex pro direction for forgiveness.

thank you

 

do you  think the TCBs are closer to JPX or T100?

 

seems like t100 are a Good Package…

 

Good looking, feeling Players Iron with a Little More forgiveness than Classic CBs?!

I’m playing the JPX 923 Tours. The feel and sound of a well struck ball are hard to beat.

 

I will say there is not a lot of forgiveness with them. You will lose significant distance on mishits. I owned the 221 and 223s as well. To me, the 223 were far less punishing than the other two models. They feel great, but a level below the 221 and 923 Tours. Forgiveness between the 221 and the 923 Tours are about the same for me. 
 

I use my 4i off the tee box a good bit. Yesterday for instance, I lost 30 yards on a toed 4i. I missed the center by roughly a half an inch. My 223s would have lost about 10-15 yards on that strike.

Thank you!

kinda what if expected of 923 tours 

 

Can you compare the mizunos against TCBs?

[Tiptx1122]

Mizuno JPX 923 HMP

[bgfgolf]

If you’re interested in mizunos “ask golf nut” on YouTube does very in depth reviews and comparisons with data, including forgiveness and miss hits.

+1 on these. 
 

Most CBs feel good when middled. It’s when they’re not that the OP is really talking about. TCB has a weight plate so that helps in that regard. JPX Tours do not but are a healthy size and so are the Wilson CBs.
 

The 2023 Cobras are sweet and would likely be my favorites and I’d go TCB next. A little smaller blade than 923 Tours but more forgiving I would say. 

 

If I had to order without hitting I might also take a look at the Edel SMS Pros since they are already regarded as great irons and the feel can be somewhat adjusted.

Boutique brand - but I recently hit the Edel SMS irons.  Wow!!!  I live in the US but had a similar problem when I wanted to try these irons - no stores or fitters had these anywhere near me. Had a 7 iron sent to me (thanks Justin) and I was in love. Can’t wait for the set to arrive.

Probably the Mizuno will feel the best. Of course a miss on nice irons still feels like a miss!

[rjp322]

The new pxg cbs are the best feeling cbs by a long shot. They full like butter with terrible range balls

[Jmccas]

If ranking just on feel, I’d rank them in the below order with best feeling on the top of the list:

 

JPX 923 Tour

TCB

T100

Apex Pro

 

Forgiveness would be the inverse of the above list with the Tours having the least amount of forgiveness.

Unfortunately, I’ve never hit the TCBs, though I would like to one day.

Heard this too. Haven’t hit them tho… they weren’t out when I got fit for my gen6Ps

 

I may have considered them in 9-gw 

[BirdieBob]

Had a full set of TCB...very nice forged blade like feel.  And that is pretty much what they are with all the weight behind the grooves.  So, dumped them and got the P7TW blades and glad I did!

 

[NailedIt]

I haven't hit the Mizuno but of the rest I'd say none of the above. I've been ruined by Japanese forgings.  So I'd vote ZX7 or Bridgestone CB's for availablity. Otherwise, many other boutique brands. My issue with a lot of these so called forged irons is they try to make them to "techy" and add too many materials robbing them of true, soft forged feel. But we all have different ideas on "feel" so YMMV.

Agreed. I just picked up a set of T100 to replace my JPX tours for distance. In the end, I think I hit 1 or 2 more greens but with a larger dispersion. BTW, 1 yard longer with the Titleist. If you can break 80 every time out, play the JPX.

[realmfg]

PXG 0317 CB and ZX7.  Never thought a titliest felt very good.

[brutusflash]

Bridgestone J 15 CB, you’ll never go back- and you can likely find a good set for not much money.  New, T 150 is legit!

On the other hand, you do have some of the best beer in the world!

2024 JDM X Forged have that thing, if you are looking outside Miura Cb's.  Have heard great things about the PXG CB's as well as Cobra offering.
