Forged irons have long been a hot topic of conversation, and with advancements made to enhance their playability, it seems more players will be getting in on the talk. We break down some of the best forged irons currently on the market that offer both great looks, and feel.

Titleist T100

After years of success with the AP series irons, the T100 is the new leader in the Titleist family. Fully-forged and developed using high-density tungsten for incomparable balance and low CG, these high-performance irons deliver a pure strike time again and again. With a revamped sole for ideal turf interaction and developed using the finest materials, these clean, modern irons have already made their mark in the industry.

Is it for me?

If you’re looking for an iron that will launch high and go forever, these may not be the right fit, but if you’re a low handicap player who doesn’t mind sacrificing a bit of forgiveness in exchange for remarkable precision, you’re in luck.

Cobra Forged Tec

These irons are so sleek and clean they may be mistaken as blades, but don’t be fooled, their hollow construction gives them great playability. An inserted tungsten toe weight lowers the CG while simultaneously delivering forgiveness, meaning you can launch it high and carry it far even when you don’t flush it. For exceptional feel and sound, Cobra injected foam microspheres into the hollow back, inducing confidence over every shot. Available in both variable and ONE Length.

The trim muscle back shape usually fits the eye of better players who don’t mind seeing a little less clubhead at address. If you’re wanting to gain a few yards with your irons but could also use some generosity across the face, these irons deliver on both fronts.

Mizuno MP-20

Mizuno’s latest irons are all about giving golfers exceptional feel. Coming in three models, the MB (muscle back), HMB (hot metal blade), and MMC (multi material concept), these irons utilize the latest technology combined with timeless craftsmanship for a product that is as beautiful looking as it is performance-focused.

Is it for me?

These definitely aren’t game improvement irons, but with the ability to mix and match between the three models to create your own personalized set, you decide how much forgiveness over precision you’re looking to take on. In brief, the MP-20 line is aimed at the low to mid-handicap player.

TaylorMade P790

By injecting SpeedFoam into the clubhead for enhanced feel and a hotter impact zone, the P790 irons deliver an ideal combination of distance and control. A thinner face delivers greater accuracy while TaylorMade’s tungsten weighting system has lowered the CG to help you get the ball in the air faster.

These irons offer a comprehensive solution for lower to mid-handicap players that are walking the line between needing more distance but not wanting to forfeit their precise approach shots.

Titleist 620 CB

Titleist’s new 620 CB irons are for golfers who want to shape shots and hit precise distances. This may seem like a narrow market, but after boosting the performance and playability of the long irons, and enhancing their shot-shaping abilities, Titleist has opened up the 620 CB to a broader audience. Coming in a classic design, with some modern touches, these forged irons provide the renowned look and feel players expect from Titleist.

Feeling like your current set isn’t giving you the best results, even after striking it pure? These timeless irons are ideal for players who want to advance their progress and shoot lower scores.
