[Jdvols5]

I am trying to try some new irons for this next season. 
I can’t decide between:

Taylormade p790

Cobra F8 or F9

Titleist AP1

 

i am a high handicapper who loves good feel and forgiveness. Any help would be appreciated.

Hit them and you’ll have your answer no?

Yes.   You always need to hit them, and preferably in an outdoor setting.  Range is good, course is better.  I once took 3 different makes of irons to the outdoor range and their performance forced me to choose the ugliest one.  

Vinsk... OT, but are you about to get your butt back on the golf course?  I am looking at playing this Sunday... been on the injury list since last April.

I’m thinking soon but not soon enough. Probably by the end of February. I’ve carefully done some full swings slowly and the follow through is still a bit tweaked. But glad to say I can move much better.

I believe you'll find a big difference in feel when you hit each one.  After trying them, you'll know w/o anyone telling you their opinion.

Let us know which ones you decide on and if you would, why?

How high? What's your age? 

My son-in-law and I went to Golf Galaxy and got fitted. It was a good experience, but I don't have on course results to report. I'm 62, this is only my 4th set of irons. I bought the Cobra Speedzone with graphite shafts, (that's the new version of the F9). I hit the P790, the performance didn't match the price for me. My son-in-law, who is a very high handicapper, bought Ping i210s. You might want to give those a look too?

The other posters are right, go to a golf shop and hit them. Buy what you like! 

Good luck.

Very high or very low handicap? I thought the i210s were more of a player's iron as opposed to a game improvement iron. A Ping G series would be recommended for a high handicapper.

I210. And he is a high handicapper. They had me hit that club and I hit it too high with too much spin. I see that it's not classified game improvement, but that's what worked for him.
