Forged Irons mean distance?

Question

I just started playing golf again after 4 years of playing in high school. Two years later i need some clubs to play college golf. And i was looking at the Callaway x Forged set. I went to a d**k's and hit the 8 iron and i love the smoothness of the swing.

So the question is, Forged irons(Blade?): does that mean little forgiveness?

Does that mean im going to have trouble adapting to a hardcore golfers type club?

Answer 1

I ask myself the same questions when I'm trying to find new clubs. Even though you haven't been playing lately, you still seem to know what your talking about. Forged irons are a lot harder to hit, but they do offer much more ability to work and shape shots for over amateur players. Your level of game will determine your adaptation capabilities.

Answer 2

I HAVE BEEN HITTING FORGED IRONS FOR THE LAST 12YEARS I THOUGHT THEY WERE BEST EVER TILL I TRYED CALLAWAY X TOUR IRONS IDID TRY THE X FORGED BUT DID NOT SHOW ME A REASON TOSTAY WITH THE FORGED IRONS THE X=TOUR WITH ALDALIA NV SHAFTS RIRECT FROM CALLAWAY GIVE THEXTOUR BEFORE YOU GO FOR THE X FORGED

Answer 3

I believe blade clubs are less forgiveness but it's up to you on how much trouble you will have adapting to the clubs. Good Luck.

Have a good one...

Answer 4

Forged irons mean better feel.  You'll definitely know whether you hit a good shot or a bad one with a forged iron.  Not as forgiving as cast irons.  Easier to work the ball with a forged/blade style iron.  As far as adapting to that kind of golf club, it depends on your handicap.  The X-Forged is made for lower handicapped players.  You may want to opt for something with a little more forgiveness.  There are forged irons that will fit the bill.  Mizuno MX-25, Nike CCI Forged(there is a cast model too), or Titleist AP2.  

Answer 5

A forged blade will require a more precise contact than the cavity backs  (which are considered more forgiving)  They will also increase the ability to be able to work the ball.  as far as difficulty in learning how to hit them....that is a subjective that you only can answer....Just depends on how much work you put into practice.....the more quality practice....the better you get....No matter which type of clubs you end up choosing

Answer 6

A forged blade will give you a higher degree of "workability".  Better players who have the ability can shape their shots better with blades than cavity-back irons.  You are correct in the sense that forged blades will not be as forgiving on miss-hits.
