Apex’s don’t dig? I’ve taken divots that I could re-sell at Home Depot as sod…

I was never able to get them into the turf very well. Perhaps the north Texas turf had a lot to do with that.

I’m sure the Texas turf does- when I play in other places besides the Northeast, I’m amazed at my distances when the ball rolls. 😊

I am also a bit of a sweeper/picker with a relatively shallow stock swing.

 

My 2 favorites:  Callaway Rogue ST Pro, Mizuno Pro 223 (haven't tried 243 but basically the same).

 

Honorable Mention: Edel SMS Pro (or regular SMS).

What club would provide somewhat of a "player" look, offers some forgiveness / tech yet still has some mild playability, has a narrow sole / lower bounce?  For reference I tend to be a bit of a picker / sweeper, some early extender tendencies yet still a solid player. Play off average Midwest conditions. I don't do well with high camber in the sole or higher bounce irons. 

I have been told what I am looking for is between Mizuno JPX 923 Forged.  I will also try out Titleist T200 and Callaway Apex Pro or regular Apex.  

Any other ideas out there? 

 

 

JPX923 Forged, Pro 223/243, T200, T150, PXG 0311T, P770, Apex Pro, King Tour, Fourteen TB-5 or TB-7 depending on how big you want to go, Miura TC-201, Wilson DynaPower Forged, Ping Blueprint-S or i230.  That should about cover it.

Your search sounds like what I look for in an iron.  I've tried the Mizuno JPX 900/919/921 Forged, Ping i210, Cally Apex & Apex Pros, among others, and you really should give the Maltby TS1-IM's a shot.  I know it doesn't say Mizuno, Ping, Callaway, or Titleist on the bottom, but you wouldn't know it.  And that's before we even start talking price tag...

Based on your description, the first iron that came to my mind was the Ping i230 or the i525, or any of the past iterations.

FYI; both those irons have high bounce and more than minimum offset.
