gocchin Posted September 4, 2006 Report Share Posted September 4, 2006 Hi I'm currently playing a cast set of Precept Tour Premium Irons and I'm looking at moving up to a forged set of irons. There are many to choose from out there and from many of the reviews I've read it seems like many of the sets are for low handicappers. Can anyone give me some recommendations on a forged set that might suit someone that shoots in the 90's? I'm looking obviously for a set that is forgiving with a larger sweetspot. :tsg_smiley_embarrassed: Thanks guys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How much offset do you like, what sort of topline makes you feel comfortable? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy Posted September 4, 2006 Report Share Posted September 4, 2006 I have the EPON Type X and they are a great set of irons. Very forgving and great feel. Randy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gocchin Posted September 5, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2006 I don't like too much offset. Are any of the tourstage offerings forgiving or something I coud "grow" into. I love the look of the X-blades but I'm afraid they may be too advanced for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

X blades are soo demanding. Forgiving for a blade but still a blade. Mizuno has the MP27s which despite being 2-3 years old are great. My buddy has a set with graphite/exsar that hasn't seen the light of day in a while. I'll ask if he is selling. Honma Beres. Chris has great prices on these.

There are also Tour Premiums in cast, and that's what I have. The MP27's are tempting especially if they have graphite. :) Thanks for checking it out for me. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tour-md Posted September 5, 2006 Report Share Posted September 5, 2006 (edited) Depends on how much money you're willing to spend. I don't believe that purchasing a J-forged iron set over $1,000 will dramatically help your game. You can't expect to receive a completely unbiased view here or on any board. Just for kicks, I built a set of Golfsmith forged cavity backs 600c - model and shot the best round this year (68). I've tried them all and nearly have them all - The latest: Miura MB1006, TM TP MB Forged, Nike split cavities tour issue, etc. It all comes down to what you want out of them. If you really want a Japan forged iron set that is fantastic and very long -- Tourstage TS202 (you can grab a set at a very reasonable price on eBay). Try as many irons as you can. When you refine your game, then spend the hard earned money. Edited September 5, 2006 by tour-md Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gocchin Posted September 5, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2006 Thanks for the good advice. I'm looking for a set I can grow with and that's a step up from what I have now. I definitely don't mind experimenting... Anyone with feedback on Tourstage V3000's? There is someone local here who has a set for sale. Thanks!
