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

Love the comments. Wasn’t DD with PXG a year ago, then Cobra last and now Titliest? Maybe he is just collecting bags and gear to sell on Golfwrx?
Chris Kirk- love this guy. Recovering like myself. Not affraid to play what works and if anyone wants his GBB TC 9.0 head I have one with an ATX Green Tour stiff ready to rock.

Trusty is Rickies irons are likely some of the easiest on tour to hit. Folks are scared of what they don’t know.

Rickie should go back to the ProV1….he’s done nothing since switching to the Taylor Made soccer ball.
Brandon

He should also go back to playing irons a human can hit.

He really is suffering from I wanna look cool playing brutal blades and it ain’t working.
If he was a Golfwrx member this would be ok and expected, but he is a tour pro

He needs to be a Titleist Staffer. Same set up as Justin Thomas minus the putter.
