The Forged Tec are hollow body construction player's distance irons packed with technology and, for me, one of the strongest contenders in this particular category.

They will be ideal for a golfer who wants the look of a ‘players iron’ but also wants a little more forgiveness and gain some distance.

They would be suited to medium to high handicappers, but with relatively minimal offset, they don't suit a slicer's hand. Low handicappers looking for a little bit of extra distance whilst not sacrificing too much on looks also may like these irons.

I personally went from 12 to a 4 handicapper using these irons for almost a year. I performed a lot better on par 3's and 4's especially, and hit a lot more greens in regulation. One of the nicest things I noticed about these irons is there isn't too much of a drop-off between off-centered hits compared to when you flush one out of the middle which is which makes hitting greens a lot easier.

I'm a fan of the KBS $Taper Lite Stiff shaft. The reduction in weight gave me a few mph more in my swing speed, and the shaft itself really helps launch the ball nicely and high, so the ball stops quickly on the greens.

Overall a great iron in the player's distance category and represents a really good value for money.
