"Players irons" with forgiveness?
I'm currently sitting at around a 12–13 handicap, having played with a set of 2021 Srixon ZX7 irons (4–PW) with Dynamic Gold Tour Issue X100 steel shafts for the past couple of years.
I really like the Srixons, but I’ve been considering moving to a "players cavity back" type of set that offers slightly more forgiveness while retaining some of the “players iron” characteristics, such as more traditional lofts and minimal offset. I’m not too concerned about the thickness of the topline aesthetically.
The ZX5 range seems like an obvious choice, but I was wondering if anyone has recommendations for other irons to consider. I won’t be buying new, so I’ll likely be looking at used sets from roughly 2022 to 2025.
The Wilson Staff Model CB 2024 irons have also caught my eye, as they appear to have minimal offset and more traditional lofts. Does anyone have experience with these?
