We should have Srixon Z-Forged II on the list.

[Gamble Gamble]

I tested a bunch of these.  The ZX5s seemed to be the best blend of forgiveness and feel.

[avg_joseph]

JPX Tour - Shape and forgiveness in that footprint

[Mrgreen36]

I had to vote for i59, only iron I own on that list. 😆  3 strong.

Exactly what I was going to say 

[lambo428]

'21 T200 great feel but more importantly great accuracy

[II PigBimpin II]

JPX 923 Tour....just wish they came in polished chrome. Yeah, I'm old school.

[Bunkersarebigcups]

Ping i230 finally made me switch out of my 10+ years old MP52 and I havent looked back. Tested most irons in that category (223s, 225s, JPX forged, T100/200, P770 to name a view.

i230 hands down beat every single one of them.

[ShankAaron]

Apex 21's, and it's not a fair fight (at least for my s**t show swing). I've been gaming these since they first released, and through MANY head-to-head battles with other OEM's, they always come out on top. Only irons to come close to the consistency and performance points I'm personally most interested in were the Miura TC-201's and the Mk.II ZX5's. Key word- close. 

[xGameOver]

You need to add PXG 0317 CB. 

[goburjs]

Where are some Takomo Irons?

[Popeye64]

Maltby TS1-IM certainly missing.

[sovietsnyper]

I love my T300s. Forgiving and they dont look like a lunch box at the end of the shaft.

As a blade player I have to go with the miura mb 101. I know they probably won't rank high due to price but, after switching to miuras this year I believe everyone should get to try them for a season. 

[lefthack]

Haywood MB's.

 

 

[fixurpitch]

I’m in the NL 902PD, and really happy with them. I demoed several of the favorites above. Between the performance and the great price (at the time), the NLs were the best choice. If I were doing it over with today’s NL prices, I’d land on the T100. 
 

Demoing against i230, ZX5/7 II, P770, 223, and 923F the Titleist T100 gave the most consistent distances and least dispersion. 

[mosesgolf]

I'm amazed at the SRIXON ZX7 ii numbers.  Didn't realize they were so popular.  

[miles2go]

Only 3 votes for Titleist T-200’s ? As a high single digit HCP, I tested these and really liked them. I don’t own them but voted for them only because I don’t love the latest PING releases.

I was very shocked to see this too!

Just as shocking are the TM numbers not only for irons but for drivers too.  Bottom of the Big 4.

[tbowen19]

New Srixon zx7 is simple...absolutely amazing.

[JB_007]

923 Tour. 

 

As someone who has played more of these irons that I'd like to admit, these were the biggest surprise. It was one of the best feeling / most consistent irons I've played. 

 

I just think Mizuno botched the roll out / advertising of these...and the fact their turnaround time is one of the worst in the business..

[wam78]

I’m a big JPX tour fan since the 900.  They get better each release.  Hard to find an iron design like this with consistent ball speed and spin deviation. 

[ARSM1932]

Cobra King CB

[ga_pike]

No DTC brands included?  Sub 70, New Level, Etc.

[g_nw]

I love my P7MCs. They are pure, in the sense that the extra tight grain forging is insanely solid on impact. I generally get the same launch numbers strike after strike, when I do my part — great feedback. They’re a no-tech option with traditional lofts so they aren’t fitting the meta- characteristics many are looking for. But, for a modern single piece forged iron, they are as good — and as consistent — as anything out there. I hit most ‘23 irons and would be happy with the Srixon ZX7, as well. However, I prefer the P7MC’s turf interaction (I know the Srixon sole design is a key feature of the ZX7).

[Mp14forlife]

Cobra king tour. I don't play them but having tried the new zx7s and 923 tours...cobra knocked it outta the park with the tours.

[lance1420]

T100 for me. 
 

They are the first club that benched Miura for me. 
 

Well for now that is…

[cmyates3060]

Ping i230 and it wasn’t close. I’ve played AP2, t100, P770, and P7MC before testing the i230. 
 

In all irons I’ve had in the bag, none have given the combination of workability and forgiveness the i230 give. Getting a players iron with forgiveness in a gorgeous looking iron.
