What are the most forgiving clubs as far as irons,drivers, hybrids, etc that you had the chance of hitting...my personal favorite for the driver was the Cobra Speed Ld and for irons the Ping Eye 2's....Thanks

Taylormade CGB Max Irons are mega forgiving. The Cobra L4V is probably the most forgiving Driver

Ping Eye 2 are forgiving irons, but by no means the most forgiving. Even though I think that the Eye 2 are a better overall iron, but the R7 CGB Max irons are, imho a lot more forgiving.

The bobby jones hybrids are by far the most forgiving clubs i have ever hit with, though i dont own any. If you hook or slice those things, just quit golf...

i actually hit a set of stiff steel Cleveland Hibore hybrids at a demo day. I actually hit a 3-5-7-9 iron/hybrid.

they are by far the most forgiving > easy-to-hit clubs ive ever hit (i rarely even carry my own hybrid > opting for my 18 degree 2-iron). but, i could not even try to get these working left-to-right or right-to-left. great for a high to mid handicapper who wants to hit it straight and has no time to practice. driver > the taylormade ti burner when it came out! wow!

What about the Adams Tight Lies Irons--you know the original ones with the graphite tip--arent those really forgiving?

I haven't tried them. The most forgiving irons I have tried are, as previously mentioned, the r7 CGB MAX and the new Big Berthas. sumo irons look to be just as forgiving, haven't hit them. Don't expect to either, as I have no plans on buying super-GI irons ever.

Another set of mega forgiving irons are the Cobra UFI's.
It even stands for Ultimate Forgiveness Irons

And for drivers, maybe the Burner or Callaway FT-i

The Nike SUMO square hybrids fly really really straight no matter where you hit them...Also Titleist Vokey wedges are very soft and forgiving

really? I never though them to be forgiving. The most forgiving wedges I have ever tried(real wedges) are Ping iWedge(which is actaully based on the ping eye2) and the Cleveland CG14.

      Day 12: Same as last couple days, but focus was on recentering aspect of flow. When I recenter earlier I make decent contact most swings but if I recenter late or not at all it’s a roll of the dice.

      A couple of things.  Some of the clubs in your bag should be dropped immediately.  A 2-iron for example with what obviously seems to be a lower swing speed or possibly not great swing yet is a definite no-no.  To be hitting that 120-140 yards, which I assume includes run, is a sign that you are not getting the ball airborne at the correct angle to maximise distance.  The reason your 3 and 5 hybrid are going the same distance is that your launch angle is better with the 5.  Loft is your friend. Ideally I would suggest going to a golf or sporting store where you can hit golf balls on a simulator without being disturbed to understand your club carry distances and hopefully swing speed.  With that information we can definitely guide you better.

      Is This Club Blatantly Sandbagging?

      By pganapathy ·

      Let us be clear, unless you have proof of cheating, you just sound like a case of sour grapes.  In our club we have a guy who won club titles for many years.  Yes, he was a low single digit handicapper, but there have been quite a few others who played at his level.  Yet his mental strength and experience helped him win in many years when he shouldn't have.  Did he sandbag.  DEFINITELY NOT.  Did he just minimize his mistakes and pull out shots as and when needed.  Definitely.

      First off please forgive me if this is not a proper post or not in the proper location, still learning the ropes around here. Second, it's important that I mention I am very new to the game with only about 10 rounds of golf under my belt, most being 9 holes. Only this year have I started playing 18. That being said, I am hooked, love the game and am very eager to learn and improve. To give you an idea of my skill, the last 2 18 rounds I played were 110 and 105. Not great at all, however I am slowly improving as I learn. Had been having bad slicing issues with the driver and hybrids but after playing some more and hitting the range, I've been able to improve on that quite a bit and have been hitting more straight on average. Irons have always come easier to me as far as hitting straight for some reason. Wedges have needed a lot of improvement, but I practice chipping about 20-30 mins about 3-5 times a week and that's helped a lot. Today I went to the range and started to note down some distance data, mind you I am averaging the distances based off my best guess compared to the distance markers on the range. I do not currently own a range finder or tracker. From reading some similar posts I do understand that filling gaps is ideal, but I am having a some issues figuring out those gaps and understanding which clubs to keep and remove as some gaps are minimal between clubs. Below is an image of the chart I put together showing the clubs and average distances I've been hitting and power applied. For some reason I am hitting my hybrids around the same distances and I am not sure why. Wondering if one of them should be removed. I didn't notice a huge loft difference either. The irons I have are hand me downs from my grandfather and after playing with them a bit, I feel like they're just not giving me what could potentially be there. The feel is a bit hard/harsh and underwhelming if that makes sense and I can't seem to get decent distances from them. Wondering if I should be looking to invest in some more updated irons and if those should be muscle backs or cavity backs? My knowledge here is minimal. I have never played with modern fairway woods, only the classic clubs that are actually wood and much smaller than modern clubs. I recently removed the 4 and 5 woods from my bag as I was never using them and I don't hit them very well or very far. Wondering if I should look into some more modern fairway wood options? I appreciate any feedback or advice anyone is willing to give, please forgive my lack of knowledge. I am eager to learn! Thank you.
