What do you guys think is the best?I know a lot of these aren't even out yet, but would like to gather everyone's thoughts from speculations or personal play experience. Its so exciting with the new line of cb forged irons coming in 2012! I wonder if they can out do previous year models? Only time will tell.

the yamaha tour and the tourstage 905 get my vote.
thTS is difficult but its a great club to play when uneed to plot around a course.
shafted that wit hthe monacco, they are on route to links heaven now.
the yamaha tour , no one needs ask me what i thnik of yamaha tour.
funnily tho i think the 11 is the better head.
BECEASUE the shape suits me better. the tech in the 12 is peerless.

well for me best is subjective. i have gamed 4 of those irons and have tried half.
the 302s would get my vote. cant get any better if your looking for a easy to use
players CB.
for tech i would put the 502s, titleist VG3 as well as the onoff forged up there.
Tats, i would like to hear your opinion on the matter?

What's in the Bag?:
Clubs I can actually play, not think I can play. Put the ego aside to focus on improving my score.
It's hard to vote for some of the models that are very new or the ones that are not even out yet.
It also depends on the best CB for who.
For the better player I'd say the Yamaha Tour. For the medium capper and improving player the ONOFF Forged. And for the average golfer the D Forged or the original VG3 Forged for those who want something smaller.

Based on the limited experience across a range of product, the poll results are probably a better reflection of "what is everyone gaming?" :)

That's exactly why the 302's will do so well. It's because they have been around for some time and many people have tried them + most people are bias toward any big purchase they make.
Here's the thing this post will have thousands and thousands of views and will still be here in a few years ( just like the last one is still around ) and by then everyone will have tried everything on this list.
I voted ONOFF Forged, The 302's would have ranked #4 for me.

Original Titleist VG3's. If anything can stay in my bag going on 2 years it has to be really pretty good. Right blend of forgiveness and feel. I have tried ON OFF, including the 247's, Fourteen, Tourstage MR 23, various Japan Taylor Made and these have won out.

Which One??
I took the 302's out of the bag to play the new Yamaha V Forged Tour....
The 302's are back in the bag.
Not going to keep the Tours.....
I have a bunch of Iron sets I really like and get along very well with.... V forged included
The 302's are the best OVERALL Iron for me.

Argh... so far this thread isn't helping me decide whether to try the Onoff Forged or Titleist VG3 next. =) Seems like both are getting a lot of love...
