Forum Thread of the Day: “More forgiving mid and long irons?”

Published

on

Today’s Forum Thread of the Day comes from Presley85 who is on the hunt for more forgiving long irons. Looking for greater consistency in the 4/5 iron range, Presley85 has reached out to WRXers who have been sharing their thoughts on what long irons may be the best fit to accompany his Titleist 710MB’s.

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.

  • MuskieCy: “I love my Adams Forged XTD 5-LW. On top of that, I have a first-gen TM Burner 5, longer by 10-15 yards than the other 5. Slots in perfectly to the 20* hybrid. That said, don’t be afraid to experiment. Nobody has asked why I carry two 5 irons.”
  • getitdaily: “T200…I just put the 4i in the bag. I play jpx900 tours the rest of the irons.”
  • ChipNRun: “If your 4i and 5i just don’t work, dump them and get something more forgiving. BUT, if the performance is hit-and-miss, consider getting a reshaft. Possible replacement: The DG.120 S300 would weigh in at 118 grams – 12 lighter than current shaft. This would give you more clubhead speed. Also consider soft stepping if launch is the main problem. For starters, get baseline launch monitor data from your current 4i and 5i and take it from there.”
  • Signman150: “Ping I210 long irons are very easy to hit if you don’t mind mixing brands.”

    put an I210 4 iron in bag to go along with my S55 5/9. A lot easier to hit and can be used as a club to hit off tee on short par 4s and long par 3.

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.”
