What GolfWRXers are saying about the best feeling/softest irons
In our forums, our members have been discussing some of the best feeling and softest irons. WRXer ‘leftycabe’ is a lefty on the hunt for a new set of irons and has asked fellow members which of the following irons are the best feeling:
- Miura 801
- Mizuno MP20 sel
- Mizuno 921 sel (tour)
- PXG 0311 T (gen 3)
- Titleist 620 CB
- Titleist T-100
And our members have been having their say on the matter in the thread.
Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.
- Go_Time: “I’ve hit them all, and Srixon 785 has been the softest.”
- iNeedMoreGolf: “Ok, so the best answer I can give you is the Mizuno mp MMC 20. I’ve hit a lot of irons this past year all head to head… nothing, and I mean nothing was softer to me than the mp mmc20. From 4 iron down to PW and that’s rare in my opinion to have each iron be consistently the same amount of soft throughout the set. Not just soft but a soft that’s different than the rest and still very informative on what you put into the shot.”
- bunta: “Softest? Everythings pretty soft when you hit the middle. Best feeling? Srixon 785. By far.”
- BCULAW: “Z785s are pillow soft with the right shaft. Add the v-sole, and it is a feel player’s dream.”
- HSTNGolfer: “Another set to consider is Wilson Staff Model blades. Tried everything, except the Miuras, at a golf Expo in February and the Wilsons felt the best to me.”
Neal Shipley was the first to admit that he enjoyed his food while in college. But since his days at Ohio State, he’s slimmed down and earned a PGA Tour Card.
That hasn’t stopped him from having fun with his wedge stampings, though it’s led to some misunderstandings.
On the 54 (degree), we have ‘Big Fudge,'” Shipley told GolfWRX. “It was supposed to be ‘Big Fridge,’ so this happened a little while ago. ‘Big Fridge’ was a nickname between my college teammates and I, with ‘fridge’ meaning stomach, a big stomach.
“We told the Ping guys to put … ‘Big Fridge’ on it, and I think maybe some bad cell service or something, and they thought I said ‘fudge,’ so they put fudge on it.”
On Shipley’s 50-degree he also continues the food theme, this time with his go-to order at the “Golden Arches,” and his stamping “DONS 7.”
“The number 7 meal, the two cheeseburger meal, that was my McDonald’s order, back when I would have McDonald’s frequently,” Shipley shared.
At GolfWRX, we are a community of like-minded individuals who all experience and express our enjoyment of the game in many ways.
It’s that sense of community that drives day-to-day interactions in the forums on topics that range from best driver to what marker you use to mark your ball. It even allows us to share another thing we all love – buying and selling equipment.

The only way to get a true test with accurate results is to hit the clubs yourself with the same shaft and ball. You can get all the opinions you want, but until you try it for yourself, disregard the comments! Are these “testers” hitting a 2-3-4-5 piece ball? That does make a difference. Are they hitting an R-S-X shaft? How about shaft weight? Then there are the variables, including strength, of the “testers”. Go to a pro for a fitting, try different shafts on each head, and hit the ball you consistently use.
