Hello,

i am a decent golfer, i shoot mid-high 80's on an average day.

my current set of irons are the nickent 3dx hybrid irons.
however, They look absolutly HUGE at address, and they feel large, witch i dislike quite alot.

so, i guess my generaly question is, what are some irons that have cavity back forgivness, but without the look.

a few factors,
-i hate hybrids
-i dont really work the ball
-i really want to gain some distance.

irons i am looking at-
Taylor made r7's
taylor made rac's oc or lt
titlist 735 cm's
clevland cg4's
talyor made r7 draws
cobra s9's
titliest 775 cb's

Any help/suggestions you guys have as to a new set would be greatly appreciated.

note-i would like to keep it somewehere close to cheap, but if not, i will pick a set up used, or from my coach.

thanks.
brian.

OK, not exactly the cheap option but worth adding the Mizuno's MP-57's to your list. Had a look at them the other day in the local golf store and they look quite nice. They are basically cavity backed forged blades. I didn't hit them but from what the guys were saying they are quite forgiving but look like a muscle back at address which is what you are looking for.

The 57's look real nice. I got my Mizuno MX-25's in March and absolutely love them. I tried all those Irons on your list (except titliest 775 cb's) before I bought the 25's and none of them had the same feel.

I've read that the MX-25's lose distance, but I've gained distance from the TM CGB's I had before.

If your handicap is in the 20s, I would suggest, of those you mentioned, the Titleist 775cb irons. They're forgiving, relatively small compared to other game improvement irons and they're forged, for what that's worth. Also, if price is a consideration ( and even if price is not a consideration -- although they look like game improvement modern irons ), I would consider the Cobra FPs. I hit some shots with them the other day, and they are sweet. Good luck.

      Eh. He broke ONE of Tiger's records. Youngest to be ranked #1 in AJGA. It didn't help that Tiger's birthday is in late December, or that Tiger didn't play many AJGA events before he was 15. Did he do any of these things? TIGER WOODS' AMATEUR VICTORIES YEAR WIN(S) 1984 10-and- under Junior World Golf Championships Boys    1985 10-and- under Junior World Golf Championships Boys    1988 Boy's 11-12 Junior World Golf Championships   1989 Boy's 13-14 Junior World Golf Championships   1990 Boy's 13-14 Junior World Golf Championships, Insurance Youth Golf Classic   1991 U.S. Junior Amateur, Boys 15–17 Junior World Golf Championships, Orange Bowl International Junior Look at some other AJGA Players of the Year. How many of these names do you recognize? A few, for sure. I assure y'all, I'm not trying to pee in your Cheerios. I just don't get what the point is. Okay. I get that, then. Thanks.

      Day 56: 4/19/2024 Okay, even though I'll be teeing it up in a tournament in less than a week. I couldn't find time to get to the range today.  I spent time on the indoor putting mat.  And I spent time in front of the mirror with my 7 iron. Then again later with the driver.  I also thoroughly cleaned all my clubs.

      Just stumbled onto the article.  Totally random and thought it might be interested to hear other thoughts. maybe I am tired of all the LIV crap and  this just caught my attention.

      Day 1: Spent some time hitting some balls. Working on my hips and a “soft” and straight trail arm.

      Slight digression on the way to my point. Back in the day there were a lot of people who said that Tiger won because of “the Tiger effect” where people pushed too hard and made mistakes trying to catch him and fell by the wayside. I thought that was BS. It was just that he was that much better than them. I don’t think anything has changed my mind on that.    The hype about Miles Russell is very limited. I’ve seen nothing about him outside of some fairly hardcore golf websites. But I think that the reason those people are talking about him is because he is very good. Same as Tiger. And like I said he just broke one of Tiger’s records. That gets hardcore golf fans to pay attention.
