Hit the 7i and 5i with the xp115 s300 shafts today - really enjoyed it. Pretty similar distance wise to my cb3's - which is a nice compliment considering they're not nearly as GI in shape. Pretty nice forgiveness overall, particularly off the toe - didn't see a big distance loss there. Slightly thin shots still got up in the air with some spin. Didn't hit any bottom groove, but I have a feeling they wouldn't be as kind there. Hit them head to head with the z545's, and they really were only a little less forgiving I'd say, with similar distance. Feel is excellent on center strikes, somewhat muted on the mishits but you can still feel them. Definitely less forgiveness than my cb3's though. Really enjoyed them overall, great forgiveness and launch for an iron this compact.
Where did you hit them? I'm in Vancouver and dieing to hit the 545, heard it won't be coming to the GT here anytime soon. The 850f does feel nice, especially with CTL, but Apex is slightly more forgiving and about 5 yards longer for me.
Hit them at Pro Golf Discount in Bellingham, WA. Yeah, the 545 is noticeably more forgiving, but it's not quite as forgiving as something like the Apex IMO.Where did you hit them?

I'm so torn between these and the apex.... Hopefully my mind will be made up by next week.
Apex will be more forgiving, fwiw.
Gamed the apex for a full season, these are forgiving, but not as much as the apex, particularly toe side.
Seems like this is a better release cycle all around.
After switching from the 850 casts to the forged I'm in love. These beauties look and feel great. I can definitely see what you guys were saying about how everything feels flushed other than when you catch it a bit thin. I'm sure I'll want more feedback later but I'm loving the ego boost LOL. Not to mention the forged matches that Mizuno Boron hat I won thanks to THP .
My occasional pull hook don't seem to be quite as punished and out of this world like they have been with the 850s and G30s i played earlier and the shots seem to go on forever. Distance wise, they are on par with the 850 casts but I will say I'm hitting the 5 and 6 iron a bit longer and more consistent. Tighter dispersion for sure.
I don't know if it's how it sits or what but I'll make contact with the 5 iron and think i'm coming up short but it just keeps going. It's why I dropped the 4 iron, but now I may reconsider. Though I think my gaps are set with my hybrids. I"VE BEEN BORONED!
Good to hear. I'd be coming from 800 cast if I make the move (likely). I'm not at all concerned about thin shots. Thin shot with any club is bad.
Pic looks great in WITB thread too. Already have that bag or grab it with the 850F?

Think I am going to punt the 850F and go to a combo set of 4-5i in the 545 and 6-P in the 745. Results don't lie! Stuck a pic in of my impacts on the 745 (centered) and the 545 (heeled) when I got done today hitting a large bucket. It doesn't even really make sense as they had the same shaft in them, it's just a mental thing for me. Could probably do 745 all the way through, and may still. There's a slug of hidden forgiveness in those heads that belies their physical size.
