Forum Thread of the Day: “Best irons for a sweeper of the ball?”

Published

on

Today’s Forum Thread of the Day comes from CROUSE99 who is looking for iron suggestions. CROUSE99, a 10-11 handicapper, takes little to no divot and is looking for irons that will over some forgiveness. Our members give their advice on what clubs are best for a sweeper of the ball.

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.

  • gdb99: “I’m more of a sweeper. My Pro always told me a thin miss is better than a fat one, so it’s just how I play the game. I just bought the T200 irons from Titleist. Coming from 712 AP1’s. They feel better, fly higher, and seem very forgiving. Only played 1 round so far. Good luck!”
  • Snowman9000: “Something with a very low center of gravity. Sometimes the big super game improvement clubs, which you would expect would be low COG, are the opposite. Callaway RAZR X irons from a few years ago are very low COG. It’s hard to do better than those for this purpose. Otherwise, you would do well to look up the Maltby MPF data on clubs you are interested in. Look for adjusted vertical COG lower than, oh, 0.740. The lower the better, for all practical purposes for you.”
  • JDMRN81: “Maltby DBM’s. Low bounce and VCOG…..perfect for sweepers. They’re GI irons with a smaller top line/sole. I’ve owned multiple sets of PXG, Pings, Mizuno, TM, and these are still in my bag.”
  • shanx: “Sweeper/picker here too, usually play thin-soled blades (MP5 and MP15, currently). Also have a set of 07 Cally XForged that had very thin, flat soles.”

From the Forums: I need more forgiveness in my irons – Looking for recommendations

Published

on

In our forums, our members have been discussing the most forgiving irons currently on the market. WRXer ‘TheShark1’ is on the hunt for a new set of irons, saying:

“Currently gaming the Mizuno Pro 225’s but think I need more forgiveness in my irons. My well struck shots are real nice, but my mishits are not performing as good as I had hoped anymore. I really like hollow body irons so if I could find something more forgiving in a hollow body iron that would be great.

Open to any and all recommendations other than Ping. Can’t hit Ping irons at all.”

And our members have been sharing their best suggestions in our forum.

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.

  • AvidSwampThing66: “Another vote for the super forgiving and fast Paradym irons.   They look really good for being a GI iron.”
  • bobfoster: “I just went from MP20 MMCs to the new 245s in my scoring irons (just played my first round with them today). If you have a chance to try them, you might find them worth a serious look.”
  • vman: “Shoot me down, but spend the money on lessons.”
  • J_Tizzle: “i525s are great off the heel in my opinion.”
