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.

    • The course is playing tough. We’re only about 50 miles away. It very windy here and going to get worse. They’re all dressed like it’s the British Open!
    • Have posted in a while or practiced for that matter. Dealing with a few medical issues. But I was able to practice and film today. I’ve played 5 times this year. Misses have been pulls or heavy shots. I feel this has a lot to do with my lower back issues. When I feel good, I get good rotation and I hit the ball well. Today I felt good. Hips and lower back felt nice and flexible. I worked mainly on the hands feeling from the top. The club head should feel like it’s going down and away from the ball and target at the start of the downswing. The right knee should stay a little flexed at the top. These are the only swing thoughts other than high hands (arms going up) I’ve been focused on. I did PW, 6 iron and Driver today. Here is PW. The hands look better as does the knee in the rehearsal. The knee gets more straight in the actual swing.   My left arm is not straight at impact, which it has never really been. But that’s not the focus of this practice.   6 iron looks better than last time. Driver also looks better than last time. Playing tomorrow. Hopefully my body will cooperate.

    • The way to practice this is not at full speed, even if you do manage to "change" something. But no, not quite like that. That's a late lift, but you still have the early roll, and you stand up too much in that swing (likely in trying to "lift" — the "lift" is relative to your torso, not the ground).
