What Are The Most Forgiving Golf Irons 2014

What Are The Most Forgiving Golf Irons 2014 with Mark Crossfield AskGolfGuru. More golf QnA

Been gaming the JPX EZ's for a couple of months now - compared to the clubs I was using they've made a noticeable difference to my game. Made golf more fun, which has had me on the course more, which has helped my game improve more quickly.

absolutely spot on Mark - I was going to upgrade my Lynx Elegance irons to a more designer label but really, over the last couple of weeks I decided what would be the point - my next set of irons will be 7-9 blades and 4-6 better player combo irons and they will be the ones i like the look of most as i cant see any differences really between manufacturers - the trigger for buying these will be a massive improvement in my skill level  - at my age its more likely that my skill level will go in the other direction towards chunky clubs if i ever need to replace them - if i dont achieve that then what would be the point in me replacing a better quality player cavity back with a designer label club - bugger all is my guess - for now I am happy with Lynx and they go well with my Nike tour quality woods and wedges ;-)

It's so true isn't it that we all want the experts i.e. Parfield etc to take the difficult decisions for us.  If you believe the advertising then all the companies are the best.  Spending wads of cash on good clubs is only third in line after buying a home and a car!    When you buy a car, once you have decided a budget, most people go with what feels right and looks right to them.   So go and look at them, try them out then once you have decided, get professionally fitted.  I bet most average golfers would improve their game more quickly if they spent half the cost of a good set of irons on lessons with a PGA Pro and practised effectively.   Thanks Mark for another dose of your sensible advice.

Mark you're so right: most game improvement clubs are mostly the same. I've tried Mizuno JPX EZ but I did not like the looks nor the sound at impact. However when I tried the MP54 both looks, feel and sound were to my likeing but probably not the club for a high handicap player like myself.  Great advice. Keep it up

Give the Nike Covert 2.0's a hit too. I went and tried a load of GI Irons recently, and was torn between the Nike's and the G30's, but for me, I preferred the look and feel of the Covert's, and they performed as well, if not slightly better than the G30s. Didn't like the JPX EZ's, quite a big off-set, which looked quite strange to me down by the ball, and I felt as if I was always going to hit the ball left. As Mark said though, go and try a load, you won't know what you like until you've hit a load of different irons and seen how they perform.

Any thoughts on the Maltby Playability Factor (MPF) scoring system?   I'm among the minority I suppose who really find it to be quite accurate, and I came to it AFTER noting weird things where clubs' performance didn't jibe with how they were marketed... for example, I always felt that my old Ping S58s were more forgiving (in my hands anyway) than my JPX 825 Pros. Much more. I'd also found MP53 to be a much more forgiving club than the H4, again for me anyway. Then I found the MPF and it started to make sense - it's an interesting system to learn about and debate - and at times a bit counter to what club manufacturers want us to believe.

Mark, we have some new clubs like Callaway 815 d and w and Mizuno 850 d and w. I am waiting for your review! 

[patleg]

Thought you were using Mizuno MP H5 now Mark ? (From a previous video)

[tonyrock]

Hey Mark, great advise on the irons? I'm 39 and looking for my first set, and yes forgiving as well. Was leaning towards the callaway x2 hot in regular graphite. Your review on these seemed great, but what do you think for a new player? Thanks

[patleg]

Thought you were using Mizuno MP H5, Mark ??

[Sir_Godz]

Haich 5's marky boy. what gives on the ez's again?

[shlonga]

Hi Mark,

Any reason why you never mention Adams Ideas when talking about forgiving or game improvement irons?

Love the channel BTW

[beaugoring]

Hey "cue-ball." What happened to the mp-h5's

[Coda]

Nike Covert 2.0 Cast & Nike Vapor Speed.

You couldn't possibly go wrong  with any G.I Pings  from the last twenty years .

[drumcatnau]

The real answer is that the iron HEADS are all roughly the same. The real difference is shaft. If everyone puts the same shaft in, they're virtually identical. If you choose from the variety of shafts out there, especially in the graphite choices, they can be massively different even on the same head. This difference is what needs to be addressed.
