Hi guys,

I'm currently off 18 but i'm confident that will drop pretty soon.

My current irons are several years old, MacGregor MX tour with the accompanying Mc 501 woods.

What i'm looking for is a set of decent forgiving irons that don't have too much of a thick topline. I know I could buy a set of blades but i wouldn't be able to hit them out of my way!

I was thinking along the lines of cleveland cg gold or wilson Ci7. I read all the great reviews of the Di7's but they just look a bit too chunky for my liking.

Does anybody here have any opinions on the above sets or something similar?

Thanking you in advance

I play Cobra IH 3100s and they are the most forgiving set of irons I've ever played. I had Ping Eye2s before and a set of old school Wilson's before that. Best thing to do is find a local golf shop that have the right equipment (such as the ball monitoring and all of that non-sence) and spend some time there with an employee swinging into the net or virtual reality screen to see what feels best for you. My local shop fit the clubs to my swing for free when I was picking out a new set after graduating High School. Hope this helps, GL.

Try out a set of Cobra FP's. I'm a 26 (and falling), but I wanted clubs that were forgiving, but workable. I tried things like G10's and they were just too "chunky" for my tastes. I really like my Cobras.

    • My flop shots are 6-7° down (AoA). Does that answer it? 😄  The longer answer is… You have to be able to do both shots.
    • I hope you don't mind me raising this one from the dead. I got shortgamechef's video access thing for a few months in 2024. I watched his yip fix videos (the general gist is similar to the first video above, but with a lot more detail) and it made a lot of sense. I was working on it in my backyard off a mat for a while and my yippy thing was mostly gone. Aside from anything else, the flop shot using that technique is so easy and controllable. But I got onto a golf course for the first time of the year and found myself by the green on a downslope with the ball sitting down a little in the rough and I was, not to put too fine a point on it, f***ed. Shallow is all well and good from a good flat lie and I understand it, but you can't make that your be all and end all. I still don't know if it's a good idea to use steep all the time or just when you need to. I have a hard enough time with one technique, let alone too.  Just got a pitching skillest lesson with Erik and unless I misunderstood things some, he wants me a bit steeper. @iacas - where do you fall on the steep vs shallow argument and how do you vary it according to need?
