Players' Forgiveness Irons Recommendations

ChipNRun · April 18

Although technically a game improvement model, consider the Ping G425.

A set with either standard loft (7i at 30* and PW at 44.5*) or retro spec loft (higher loft with 7i at 32.3* and PW with 47* loft) would give you good spin which would help with dispersion control/

I’d probably say ZX7’s. I came from P7MC’s. The ZX7 top line is bigger, but the way they perform speaks for itself

Went and got fit by Titleist today. I ended up in T100 with Project X LS 6.5 for 6 - PW. Put me in a TSR2 Hybrid with GD-IZ 95X as it got the spin up and landing angle up.

The front to back dispersion was really nice, as were the numbers in general. I'm a little nervous that I was swinging too well as I was warm, and 7i was 95mph +/- 2mph. I'm rarely that warm and loose on the course, so hoping the setup works in real world conditions.

For traditional lofts, a sleek look and size and tech that provides way more forgiveness than the ZX7 or Titleist T100/T150, I like the P770. The dark copper finish now available is stunning. Having tried so many irons on this thread, I found most to be either not that forgiving, too large a sole, jacked lofts or they feel harsh. The 770 actually surprised me with its performance and feel. Sleek long irons that are so easy to launch.

T150’s are probably the sweet spot for what you’re looking for.

My research has led me to T150s, as they will be that sweet spot for me and what I'm looking for. All I have to do now is save all my lunch money..

I hit the 150 and did not like it at all. Not appreciably more forgiving, nor much difference in look (7i) and felt WAY clickier. 200 was the same for me and I really liked the idea of a combo set with a 200 in my 5 iron going into the fitting.
