Top 5 Forgiving Irons For Mid to High Handicapers of 2023

Is it ever summer in Great Britain?

Just been fitted with the Ping 430s..absolutely love em….and the driver and 3 wood

Honestly can't recommend a good fitting enough. All of these irons are great, but you really don't know what works for you until you try it. I ended up with ping g430's cause nothing came close to how good they were with the right graphite shaft, but I literally couldn't hit the Paradym or x variant at all! I'm sure they're great irons, just goes to show that you really should get fitted or at the very least hit before you buy.

Srixon 👌

Here’s the truth, all major brands make great clubs, proper fitting is required.

I went to a demo day last weekend. The Cobra added 2000 rpm of spin on my 7 iron and came up 20 yards shorter than my current Calloway’s. The Pings on the other hand were butter. Sold! The Cobra Air X driver was spot on. Supremely forgiving. Sold!

I'm getting back into golf, I have like 10 year old burner plus irons, that i dont hit all that great,would the Takoma be an upgrade?

Interesting and educative

dude is talking while throwing darts...I'll take whatever he says.

I personal like the Taylor made P7 mc all around great performing iron ..nice to look at ..great feel..just my preference

Maybe these top 5 of your’s are more for mid-handicap players - personally I thing the hybrid sets really give the most forgiveness. I bought last year the Cleveland Turbo Launcher HB’s and they’ve done the job of forgiveness and fun (isn’t that what it’s all about?)

I thought that forged 455 on the Paradym said Forged Ass at first 🤣.

PXG 2021 0211 is the hottest deal in golf

I'm a 24 h/c golfer....was looking for forgiving clubs and homed on to Cleveland launcher XL Halo irons....what are your suggestions

I had 2 separate fitters try to put the Callaway Paradym irons in my hand. To me they felt like I was swinging something between a box set of top-flites and a broom stick. I played the Ping G400 for about 8 years so I agree with the G430 being on the list but they really don't feel any different than my old G400s. I am extremely surprised that you left off the Mizuno HotMetal irons! They imo should be in the top slot on this list by far. The Wilson Dynapwr could make an argument for this list as well. The Takomo's are off all list for me besides looks. Until I have the ability to try them out and be properly fitted they are not even an option.

What kind of shafts were those srixons you used in the video?

Just ordered some PXGs yesterday, got a full set of irons for about $600. The military discounts they offer are phenomenal. I would have loved to try one of these on your list, the price point just made it too hard for me to pass up.

Which one was the most forgiving???

Wildon D9's are amazing! Cheaper, more distance and forgiving, it's a no brainer

I’d be very interested in trying the Tacoma

P means Prick. 🤣

If you’ve never played golf before what clubs do you recommend?

I’m a fairly new golfer transitioning over from a lifetime baseball player. So my swing definitely needs work. So I’m a high 20+ handicap golfer. Is it worth it to get fitted at this point? Or would it be better to wait until my swing and striking is more pure?

Start dieting NOW. You're becoming tubby with all the health problems that entails, including type 2 diabetes

King of beating around the bush

I guess you gotta spend 800 plus to lower habdicap.... so much for the average golfer

I love my LTDX one length. I got rid of my PXG 0211s and went to Cobra.

To be honest why don't you try Ben sayers M15 or M8 as they are the same clubs just a different insert, but as I was saying try them, I use the cobra KING SZ irons but tried the Ben sayers and they were more consistent and at least 10-15 yards further

Nothing feels as good as a ping iron to me when striking a ball. I started playing pings when the G2 came out, still love them, when I look down at the G430 they look very much the same as the G2 IMO

tried them all, went with the Mizuno hot metals, 923.

Just upgraded from G400's to G430's. Went from steel shafts to Graphite. Can wait to try them out on Fathers Day weekend! They are slightly stronger lofted

What is considered a mid to high handicap?

nice review James as a mid to high handicaper this review gave me a lot of thought for my next set of clubs.

The Cleveland Launchers are the easiest to hit irons I have ever hit!!!

Just got Ping G430's two months ago. WOW, they are awesome, I am hitting better shots with more forgiveness than ever!!!

next vid put a list of the clubs in your caption

So the PXG 0211s aren't in the top 5? So the Tokomo 101s are better and lower priced? I'm a weekend mid to high handicap golfer and want the most bang for my buck. Not gonna spend 1000$ on clubs. One, I'm not good enough, Two, can't afford them really. But could get PXG or Tokomo. Which should I pick? Are they about equal on distnace and forgiveness? I want to be able to have a smooth controlled swing without giving up distance

When using an app, I was recommended Callaway Paradym X

Yeah jpx 923 should have taken the cake.!

I tried a few of these at a fitting. In that fitting, for me,a fat guy with a slower swing speed, two clubs stood out from the pack. The Titleist T300 and the Tour Edge Hot Launch c523. Had comparable numbers with each. I went with the Tour Edge c523s because of the cost/value/benefit factors. They share a lot of similar technology. I absolutely love them. My first round with them I shot an 84 at Cog Hill. I usually shoot in the mid 90s.

I’m a pretty high handicap and I’ve been looking at the ping G425 irons. Anyone have any thoughts on those?

I nderstood that if you know how to play, everyone is fine😂

Is there a real advantage to the Takomo over the Sub70, Giga, Ram FX77 look alike?

James, what is your definition of a mid to high handicap? Can you put numbers to it?

I like my pxg irons, the ping 430 may be great, but it's ugly as a bucket of buttholes

I still us my 02 os adams irons.

Watched his top driver recommendations and really liked it
