Everything I have heard about them suggests that they are not a good choice for a 12 handicapper. I would stick with the TMs -- a little more forgiving but still do everything you ask of them, especially if your game keeps improving. I chose the X-20 Tour over the TMs but it was a close call. The X-Forged irons have smaller heads, are more intimidating at set up, and less accommodating on less-than-perfect swings.

You're probably right. I've played the TMR7's 3 x's and I've shot an 83,84 & 85. I'm very happy with results like that.

I still want to keep a set of players/blades irons so I can grow in to. That's my problem... which one's will be the best choice, the MP 60's or the X-forged?

Great thread, i've been debating all of these clubs. I want to find a forgiving players club. I've hit the X-20 Tour at the range and liked it. The guy at Edwin Watts recommended the Mizuno MX 900s and the Ping I5s as well. I think the 900s might be a little too much game improvement for me. haven't had a chance to hit them yet but hopefully this weekend.

Does anyone out there like the project x shaft? if i go with the X-20 Tours should i just avoid it?

    • Day 622 - 2026-06-16 Played 16 holes. We skipped 10 and 11. Backswing is good. Most of the time.
    • Day 287 6-16 Full, fast swings with controlling low point. Did ok just wasnt feeling it tonight. Recorded swing, no ball.
    • I'm good with the bunkers, and the fairways are SUPER wide. Three yards should stop a ball that isn't landing in it from rolling into the hay.
    • I'm a little behind, but I just finished listening to the episode about practicing while on vacation.  I have two vacations coming up this month that I won't be bringing golf clubs with me on, and this was perfectly timed (I'm sure I am not the only one going on vacation in June).   Especially the part about stretching.  I keep putting off adding stretching, with golf in mind, to my daily routine.  I think I'm going to use these upcoming vacations, the first of which I'm flying off to on Thursday, as a way to get into this habit.   For anyone else interested, Fit For Golf (see sidebar) has fantastic stretching routines (some of which, I think, are on their free area).  I really should get back to doing their main exercises too.  I don't have any affiliation with them beyond "satisfied customer," in case that sounds like an ad. I may end up posting in the 5 minutes thread when I do golf stretches if it's my only practice that day... as if I don't already sound like a broken mp3 with my 10-15 minutes hitting indoors part. And back to the topic:  anyone not caught up on the podcast should consider catching up and listen to that episode, especially if you're going on a non-golf vacation this summer and want some practice ideas that aren't the at-home practice routine from LSW about long bunker shots (which I am sure we all do regularly).
    • Mostly pull cuts to slices. Some random pull draw/hooks pending of I hit the toe.
