over the last two years i have been able to whittle my handicap down from a 14 to a 6. over this time i have been playing the titleist 962 irons i bought as a high schooler but feel like i want to move away from a cast club to a forged set. although i have tried blades they are just too much for me right now, i have hit several, but theink the cavity back foged design is the way to go. now i'm looking at three options and i'd like to hear your opinion of them. the three sets i'm looking at are the taylormade 300 series forged irons, the titleist 760 cavity back, and the bridgestone j33 cavity backs. has anyone hit these clubs? and if so did you like them? can you recommend any other easy hitting forged irons? thanks for the posts

Well I haven't played the irons you're looking into.

But I also played 962's for about eight years (got 'em in high school).

I've tried a few different sets this season- Mizuno MP-30's, Hogan FTX, Hogan Apex Plus, Titleist 704.CB and Titleist 670.MB.

The 704's are similar to the 962's but I like the 670's the best. Have you tried or thought about the 775's?

I used to play Mizuno MX23s before my hands and elbows got bad. They were a very forgiving for a forged club. Depending on the shaft you can really fine tune their performance. Not as workable as a blade. but way better than cast clubs. In fact I may go back or buy some of the new Mx 25s, if I can find a shaft I like. Mine were dynamic gold. You can pick dynamic gold lite rifle, flighted rifle, essar graphite, other choices I am sure.

I used Titleist 981's throughout high school than wanted to switch to a forged club as well. In my opnion you can't beat Mizuno for forged clubs.

    • Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.       
    • Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026. 
    • Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?
