Forum Thread of the Day: “Softest, most forgiving players cavity irons?”
Today’s Forum Thread of the Day comes from moorebaseball, who asks fellow GolfWRX members for their recommendations on soft and forgiving players cavity irons. A whole host of different irons get a mention in the thread, with Mizuno’s cavity irons proving to be one of the most popular choices amongst our members.
Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.
- jimb: “I haven’t hit anything better feeling than the 2013 Callaway X-Forged.”
- deep18: “As others have said, JPX919 Tour. Players look but according to Mizuno’s data, slightly more forgiving than the AP3 and almost as forgiving as the MMC.”
- elwhippy: “Mizuno will be the softest. Srixon a close second. I imagine the TM will be most forgiving. AP2s are very blade like in their performance. P760 goes very high and straight with DG 105 and 120 shafts.”
- 300_Straight: “Wilson V6 Tour is also a great feeling iron from what I’ve heard. Never personally tested it, though. Any Srixon 7 or 9 series irons are very soft, as are most Mizunos, Callaway X Forged, etc.”

BTW…. it’s not just the clubhead that provides that soft buttery feel… it’s the clubhead in conjunction with the shaft. 10% clubhead; 90% shaft. Smoke that tokers… :-O
