Well I've decided I need some more forgiving irons while I really try to sink my teeth into this game called golf. I was wondering if you guys had some input concerning these to iron sets. I want something forgiving but not something that is so easy that it will completely mask a flaw in my swing. Thanks!

I would stay away from the Big Bertha Irons! They will only be good for little while, once you start to improuve you are going to find you will be able to do less with them. The Big Bertha irons are very very hard to hit of tight lies in the longer Irons.

Im not a big fan of the callaway x18 irons. But they are much better then the Big Bertha irons in the long run! Once you improuve you, these Irons will be much eaiser to hit of tight lies and also much better out of deep rough.

Also the Big Bertha irons are the more forgiving but if you buy there, I would say in about 6 months to 1 year you will look to replace them, if you get the x18's then I think you would be much happier! And have them for much longer!

Thanks for the input! I am getting them off of callawaygolfpreowned.com that is why I am trying to narrow it down to the affordable ones. If anyone else has suggestions let me know but try to keep it to clubs available on that sight because I have a 185$ credit.

I'd stay away from the Big Berthas as well. They are good irons, but I think you'd outgrow them pretty quickly. I got rid of my Big Bertha 2006 irons this season, and I am very happy I did. I have been playing much better with my Wilson Staff Di9 irons, which are much more fun to play as well. In Callaway, you can't really go wrong with the X-18 or X-20 irons, or I suppose the FT or Fusion irons. Good luck.

Equipment:
Ping K15 Driver (10.5º) - Diamana BB R flex; Ping G15 4 Wood (TFC R flex); Ping G15 20* Hybrid (TFC R flex); Ping G15 23* and 27* Hybrids (AWT R flex steel); Ping G15 Irons 6-GW (AWT R flex steel); Ping I-Wedge 54* Wedge; CG14 BP 58* Wedge; Odyssey Black Series Tour Designs #9 Putter


The FT are a little pricey for me. Im leaning towards the x18's.

    • I played in a scramble that got rained out. The day was forecast for rain and my 3 partners bailed. I went anyway as I took the day off and did not feel like going to work. Not sure how many groups showed up, but I was assured that I could hit all four shots if I wanted. Long story short: I played 13 holes and was nine under with a couple holes at the end where I was having trouble hanging on to the club due to the rain. If I hit a drive that I deemed acceptable I did not hit another. I probably only took 3 or 4 mulligan tee shots on par 4 and 5 holes. Approach shots I probably hit at least two sometimes 3. I don't recall missing a GIR. Once on the putting surface is where I shined with 4 attempts. I was amazed at how successful I was on these long putts when I had 4 balls sitting there and then hit them in quick succession. One would go high, then one a little low and then the third or fourth would often drop. I "won" the event and got some nice prizes. I was a bit embarrassed by it all.
    • I hope you can remember the name of the book and author. I need to read it as it sounds fascinating🤣
