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

"People think the size of the head is most important. Wrong. It's getting a quality shaft. test different shafts to see which goes the straightest. Also, more degrees of loft on the head is better than less. Eleven degrees is about right."

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.

I agree the CGB Max is ultra forgiving... Im somewhat new to golf and tried them out and was impressed by how much distance i got without trying to hard.

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 27 - 2026-01-16 Played 18 with some of the usual "too many voices" going on when I'm working on swing stuff. Fun to get out in great bay area winter weather.

      New, College Golfer Trying to Go Pro

      I know one recent college grad who's trying the same thing.  This guy was a Division III All-American, went on to play one year at Division I LSU, and is not working hard.  He won the Gulf States Open, a pro event, and made it to the second stage of the Korn Ferry Tour School late in the fall.  And didn't make the cut to get to the final stage.  I won't talk about swing or play stuff, but I believe there are a couple of things that are essential.  Obviously, talent, and drive, or work ethic.   I can't tell you how to do it, but you HAVE to get through it.  Golf is going to be your life, and it takes lots of work. Two more things that are really critical.  You'll need the facility to be able to practice.  My young friend stayed in Baton Rouge, as a past player on the team he can still use the LSU practice facilities.  And money.  Its unlikely you'll be able to work a full-time job and practice the way you will need to.  You'll probably need backing, from a parent, from a consortium of friends or club members., something to support you. Good luck, its not an easy path, but anything is possible.  Another young man from our area, Mike Brennan, just won for the first time on the "big" PGA Tour.

      Get more comfortable with being uncomfortable. If you don’t like practicing then give up now. You don’t have the passion to become a pro. Unless that mentality changes you won’t do well under stressful situations.    Call the PGA Tour and ask. They probably have resources available.
