Agree with others that have said that what the ball looks like in the air is more important than what the clubs look like in your bag.
The nicest looking GI clubs I've seen are the MacGregor M565s, hard to find these days. I have the 9 iron, sweet feel and forgiving.

X-forged I consider to be a more of a player's irons like the Titleist AP2's and MP-58's.

They may not be a Ultra Game Improvement set like Ping, but they are definitely GI irons. My buddy has a set that i've hit many times, and they are night and day compared to the Nike/Miura Tour MBs i just picked up.

i dont know if i'd call them GI Irons but they're definitely much more forgiving than a lot of other irons i've hit.

Well you can't compare them to musclebacks since X-forged are cavity backs. I just categorize some of the not as forgiving cavity backs as players iron and some of the more forgiving irons as GI irons.

Players CB Irons: AP2, MP52/58, X-forged, and Ping S56/57 are a few to name. Game Improvement Irons: Wilson Ci7/9, Diablo Edge, Mizuno MX, Nike Machspeed, and Ben Hogan Apex Edge.

    • Day 24: did a stack session. Worked a bit on downswing feels during breaks. 
    • Day 444 - 2025-12-18 Light day of hotel room work. GEARS Summit v2.0 today. Good day.
    • Day 38 (18 Dec 25) - got out in the backyard with grandson this afternoon.  We got into a little game of pitching the ball from about 25yds to a target point just off the asphalt lane behind the backyard.  Goal - just clear it with a quick hop and stop.  Focused on using the wedge swing motion I was talking with the course pro yesterday….smooth and thru just bruising the grass.  In addition to a concentrated focus on technique, it also called for a quiet mind locked in on target point.  Rehearsed this with both the 50° and 55° wedges.  
    • I listened to the Shaun Webb one about the swing coach app. Sounds like a great thing and will (hopefully) be very useful for me. I do think the hosts are underestimating where AI could be in a few years. Right now it's just regurgitating stuff that it has been told or it has scrubbed from somewhere else and a human guiding things will be quite a lot more helpful than just the AI, but it's going to keep developing and it will reach the stage where it's figuring this stuff out on its own. Time will come when it will have you do a TPI style screen and take various height/arm length/leg length etc. measurements, have you tell it some history and your time constraints and goals and what not and it will watch a video of your swing face on and DTL and it will know exactly what you need to work on. 
    • I found it entertaining, but the announcing was lousy.  How did the measuring on the final shot start with Rory being closer and being told he won, and then with no explanation it turns out Scottie won?  Weird.
