What's the most forgiving one piece forged irons?
Oh yea.. forgot about those. The NanoV Nextage Forged were my entrance into JDM clubs. Had ridiculously heavy DG TI S400 shafts in them but they were marshmallow soft when hitting the sweet spot. I might give those a go again!!

Mostly PRGR Bag in the works!
I don't think the heads have been bent. It's just the offset is so much less than what I have been playing lately. Slight adjustment was needed in my swing. With the GR forged I've been trying hard to not hit it left .... that same swing with the TR translates to hitting it to the right. When I go back to a more natural swing, the TR500 draws just right for me. So I am now rethinking about whether offset in irons helps me out or not. Project X shafts work well for me based on a fitting I did 2 years ago. With other shafts, I was not getting enough back spin. LZ gave me good back spin which helped me hit more straighter shots. On the other hand, I have a set of Monaco S sitting idle and I know how those work in TR500 since I've tried Cuistot's set a while ago which I believe came from you Supo. Exquisite feeling combo that thing was!!

I've got two PRGR drivers that I can use with this set. '16 Tour Issue RS and a RSF Proto Single Clover I've shafted the '16 with a Tour AD PT High Mod 6S and the RSF Single Clover with a Loop GK. 5 Wood is RS5 with a Loop FW6TS ... TR500 irons 4-PW Wedges 50 & 56 Cleveland RTX4 Forged (JDM) Gold's Factory T102 Irons are shafted with Project X LZ 5.5 now but I don't think these are the shafts. Will be tinkering further. 🙂

What's the most forgiving one piece forged irons?
thanks!! I had tried the Data 601 before and really liked how it felt. Believe they were Miura forged. I'll need to look for some 801s now... how about the old Super Tourney M205R or M305R from Macgregor? another classic that look forgiving.

What's the most forgiving one piece forged irons?
I've owned and played a few forgiving one piece forged irons in the past. While I am not particularly long with my irons and I can play blades all day long, but I actually prefer to play irons with a lot of forgiveness without sacrificing feel and sound. I'm okay with sub standard (weird) looks. They just need to be really easy to hit. To name a few that I have tried previously: - Mystery WNC710 - Fourteen TC-340 - 2012 Tourstage X Blade GR Forged (current gamers) What others are out there? Maybe the original Egg Forged?

New Vokey Forged Wedges
Those are Titleist Japan Select Store items which usually means you need to buy them directly from Titleist Japan Select Stores located in Japan. Similar to Callaway Exclusive items. but definitely check with Chris.

The PRGR 00 look sweet for sure and being Miura made, I am certain that they feel heavenly too. The surprise with the TR500 in my first range session was that the balls flew straight or with a slight fade. My current gamers, the '12 X-Blade GR Forged from 2012 are very easy to draw perhaps because of the additional offset. Perhaps the lack of offset wit the TR500 are straightening my shots. but then again it might have been the DG S200 that affected the ball flight. My TR500 heads are now curing in the LZ 5.5 shafts. I may take them out for a range session tomorrow after my men's club round in the morning.

Thanks Ian. Sure. here are the comparo's Toe to Heel Length: TR500 > EZone Sole Width: TR500 > EZone Top Line: TR500 > EZone Toe Shape: Ezone is pointier Offset: EZone > TR500 (maybe a perception thing but it looks that way to me) Feel: TR500 feels softer than EZone Forgiveness: TR500 > EZone TR500 on the left

Mostly PRGR Bag in the works!
After getting the RSF Prototype driver and the RS5 Fairway wood, I thought it would only be appropriate to pursue a near compete PRGR bag... So... last week I picked up a set of TR500 irons in pretty decent condition... They arrived at my doorsteps this morning and I took them out to the range after work with the stock DG S200 shafts... I was surprised at how forgiving it was for a set of forged irons as pure as they come. They also felt buttery soft but the shafts were too darn heavy for me. So my Ezone MB heads were removed from my Project X LZ 5.5 shafts this evening and they are going to be replaced with the TR500 heads tomorrow. These are going to be really sweet. This Secondary bag will consist of: DR: PRGR RSF Proto 🍀/ Loop GK 5W: PRGR RS5 5W / Loop FW6TS 4-PW: PRGR TR500 / Project X LZ AW/SW: Cleveland RTX4 Forged / Modus PT: Gold's Factory

Driver and 3W sold! Only RS5 4U Utility is left.
I am losing a lot on this one... but it has to go. These are not sold in any of the normal retailers even in Japan, only available through PRGR fitting studios and fitting vans in Japan. New retail is 104500 JP yen with a stock "Made For PRGR" shaft. They don't sell head only either. It's a super nice head with performance to go against any other JDM or USDM drivers in my personal opinion. I bought this and the Single Clover model and the Single Clover is in my rotation now!! Single Clover is the workable driver and this Triple Clover is slightly more automatic. Features: Carbon Crown CNC Milled Ti face with W Core design for a wide and strong sweet spot. Anti left CG and open face angle preferred by better players 2 adjustable weights for optimal swing weight BACOSI hosel for trajectory tuning Specs: Loft: 10.5 deg ( Pretty low trajectory for a 10.5 ) Lie: 56 deg Weight: 196g without adapter / 202g with adapter < example build: D3 to D4 at 45.25" with 60g shaft > Condition: 9.5/10 with no visible scratches or other cosmetic issues. Just some faint marks on the face from hitting balls at the range. Never taken out for an actual round on the course. Head Cover, Wrench and brand new shaft adapter with ferrule are included as shown in the pics. Please PM me for questions. !! SOLD!!

Diamana D-Limited - silky smooth!
So after a couple of months trying to figure out a good combo for the Diamana D-limited, I think I finally found good match. After struggling to get any kind of consistency with the Cally Triple Diamond stuff, I finally gave up and decided to try a Ping G425 Max 9 deg head and paired it up with the D-Ltd. Man, am I just a Ping man or what? I've used the G410 LST for a full season but never looked at the G425 until now. I guess the Cally heads just aren't forgiving at all. No matter what shaft I tried, off-centered hits got punished so badly. I think a similar thing can be said for Taylormade heads too.. but the SIM2 was a bit more forgiving. Aside from the PRGR RSF🍀/Loop combo, it has been a while since I've had a really satisfying range session. The G425 Max is loud as heck but it is undoubtedly the most forgiving head I've ever tried. I thought that it would be too easy to turn over and too high of a trajectory, but the combination with the D-Ltd neutralizes these characteristics nicely to create a driver that is very forgiving, stable and with good distance. I mean It's so automatic!! This might become my fairway finder of the decade!

Roddio Pentacross Driver shafts
They are top notch in terms of quality and material for sure. Their parent company is Daiwa who is a fishing rod giant globally. OnOff and their Labospec is also part of Daiwa. If you want a profile similar to the BB I'd say the OnOff Labospec Tataki might be pretty close. With Roddio, I have not seen a true high kick point shaft from them. But from the new TT series shaft, the Moon model are the most stout profile with mid-low launch profile. As for lower launching shafts from other brands. I've recently tried the Tour AD XC and Diamana D-Limited and they are both great shafts. I still want to try the Tensei 1K ...
