Here is what I could find,

Titleist MB: 1025 Carbon Steel

Ping i25: 17-4 Stainless Steel

Mizuno: 1025E Carbon Steel

Callaway Apex Pro: 1020 Carbon Steel

Still, even more game improvement irons will have a harder steel casting, then they will forge in a softer face insert. Though it still might sound a bit more harsh than some muscleback irons, a lot of game improvement irons have good feel.

Looks like most forged irons tend to go with 1020/1025 Carbon Steel.

Caste irons probably use more stainless steel. Again the face might not be the same material as the body of the iron.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By Shindig · Posted

      Day 42, June 15.  Played 18 today.  Shot 86, no birdies.  Played the par-3s in +2 and par-5s in +1 (there are only three).  Played the 11 par-4s in a total of +12, three triples and only two pars.  One of those triples was a 4-putt (in my defense, it started at the collar, it's a very long par-4 that required driver 4-wood, and the first putt was from 66').   I haven't calculated strokes gained yet for the round and I'm very very curious.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Driver might be out of the bag indefinitely. All I got for success on camera and ball flight is like 50% swing speed. Anything more and it’s all over the place and strike is all over the clubface.  I got no athleticism/flow right now with what I want to do. It’s too dangerous for me because the swing will just get too long and unstable at P4. It’s very robotic feeling right now.

      Andy Plummer on Abduction and Adduction

      By iacas · Posted

      He's not and GEARS doesn't really measure toward your midline. It's measured at the joint. That's not why his use of "midline" is bad (part of the reason is that your "midline" is twisted, the top of your sternum can be pointed at a different place than the belt buckle, and your shoulders protract and retract, too. I think he's just trying to use midline to say which way the arm is moving. But they have terms for that — adduction and abduction — so whatever.
