Anyone gaming the V forged?? I'm having a hard time deciding if I should buy the 2012 Yamaha V forged, 2011 Onoff Forged or Titleist Vg3's. Which irons do you prefer and what are the differences between the three?? Your help and feedback greatly appreciated.

they are all very very good irons......i would play all 3 in a heartbeat......i like the look of the Yammies but the onoff get the nod in terms of length and forgiveness.......the yammies are nice to look at and perform quite well...everybody seems to love the VG3s....they are all very good irons...get off the damn fence and buy something already.....if it doesnt work out, then off to BST and somebody else will get to experiment !!!

Considering looks, feel, performance, and forgiveness the OnOff's would get my vote.

My only objection to the VG3's is the chunkier look. If you like a thin top line they don't have it.

If forgiveness is what is more important then the VG3's would rate first with the OnOff's close behind.

the V-forged are a bit more the Players/better ball strikers club.

damn thats a good idea...!

more experimenting needed!

those VG 3s look damn good.

if played the yaamah till im blue i nthe face and i know how they go

the onoff are sposed to be really soft and nice.

jee idunno.

flip a coin

It's a hard choice I know!!

Yammy yammy yammy.

I've played the 2011 tour model and they are superb. I'm sure that the 2012 V forged will feel just as nice and should be a little more forgiving than the Tour model.

you wait till you've hit my Onoff's..... Lol

Yamaha!

Thank you for the wonder insight and your help Tsger's, definitely a hard choice between the OnOff and Yammy's. I'll update everyone once i am able to make a decision.

Throw into the mix the Tourstage GR Forged irons as well!!

LOL, I just bought a Yammie set off of the BST from TSG to experiment, hopefully it works out!! I guess the worse thing that can happen is, I sell the Yammies to buy some OnOff irons if this experiment doesnt work out. Thank you TSG'ers for all your help.

^{i doubt ull be selling those i n a hurry!}

those are great clubs ! hope they work out for u !

Just got my Onoff's yesterday. Probably the best looking iron i've ever seen. Truly a work of art. Haven't had a chance to hit them yet, though. I was also debating between these, the Yamahas and the VG3. Overal, the Onoff's have the most versatility and appeal IMO.

those are great clubs ! hope they work out for u !

Thanks, I hope so too. if they don't work, I''ll let you know when to package up your onoff's.

i made a call 2 mths ago between yammy tours, onoff......could not wait for the VG3s. Went with yamahas as softness is just right & closes to my epon 302s

Just received the irons this week and here is my assessment from the range today. The Yamaha's just scream quality and the milled x faced definitely gives the irons some character. Ball flight on the Yamaha's are mid to high and easy to control, mis**ts are crazy forgiving, the ball just goes even if you mis**t shots from the toe or heel. The Yamaha's are uberly soft compared to the Miuras, Yammie's feel like a soft marshmallow when struck perfectly, Miura's have more of a dense feeling and imo feel more solid, . I am more use to the Miura's denseness and will see how the Yamaha's softness compare after a few rounds. Overall, great set of irons and cant wait to try the irons on the course and will be back with more of an in depth review.

The Yamaha's I've hit don't feel soft.

The Yamaha's I've hit don't feel soft.

Which Yamaha irons have you tried?? The V forged with Tour AD shafts are too soft for me awhile the Miura's with Nippon's were perfect feel and balance.

The Yamaha's I've hit don't feel soft.

We all know the shaft makes a big difference but I would call the Yams more of a crisp softness.

yes indeed... the ns shafts they are magnificent . def not as soft as epons nor mizunos

they are like the toursatges , they have some crisp/ solidness to them.

jee they play well.

Just a little update everyone, I picked up a set of 2011 Onoff forged irons and they feel great. The Onoff feels uberly soft and look wise.. they're gorgeous. After reading many comments about the Onoff's, I have to agree with many TSGer's, they feel fantastic and addicting to hit, every time I flush one, I cant stop smiling. :) I love the V forged irons but the Onoff's are very comparable and I am having a time deciding which iron will be my gamer for the 2013 season. TSGer's, what are your thoughts and which iron would you choose???

having played both, i much preferred yamahas... solid at impact and workability is just awesome...

Would agree with the Yamaha irons. Played both but Yamaha is my choice. Onoff are great irons however I prefer the slimness and players design of the Tammy Tours.

The OnOff and Yammys are great soft feeling irons with lots of forgiveness. The OnOffs are slightly longer and a bit more forgiving. The Yamaha, produce a very soft feel and it feels like you can actually feel the ball sticking to the face at impact. I thought that was a pretty cool feedback to have. These two irons have thinner top lines and smaller amounts of offset incase you feel like you need to try to mess with some shot shaping too. The VG3's are good looking (new and refreshing) and very, very forgiving. The only thing is that it's on the chunkier side as far as the top line goes and very noticeable compared to the other two irons. Its good for players looking or an emphasis on forgiveness.
