Wanting to upgrade from my taylormade 360's to a good forged iron. Any older or cheaper priced irons out there that are worth more than they cost. I may be looking for atlantis here but just wondering. Just want to try something thats not to expensive in case I want to keep my 360's.

Re: Forged Musclebacks
And you're looking for the least forgiving iron design on the planet? -
Re: Forged Musclebacks
I'm not really worried about how forgiving they are.Comment

In that case, I'm sure you could find what you're looking for on eBay or craigslist.Comment

Re: Forged Musclebacks
Used forged irons are a real **** shoot, usually they are pretty beat up, as the softer club really ding easy. If you have a Golf Galaxy or Golfsmith close by you might go check their used section and try to haggle a bit with them.Comment

Re: Forged Musclebacks
Easy for me. Ben Hogan Apex 50's. Gorgeous and feel great. Not too unforgiving for a blade. I got my set brand new for £200. Sweet!Comment

Re: Forged Musclebacks
You might want to look at some Hogan Radials.

I recently bought a set on Ebay, where there was a surprising amount of choice. They are pretty darn good. I've used them now for 72 holes. I've only had one truly bad shot, a toe shot. The heel to toe measurement is 3" compared to 3 1/4" on the Wilson DR Distance II's that I have been using for the past year. The Radials seem to be something of a precursor to Ralph Maltby's Gliders which are longer heel to toe and even more a low center of gravity design. They have a beautiful feel to them as compared to the perimeter weighted clubs that I have been using. However, I must say that a toe shot off a perimeter weighted club travels further.Comment
