Carrying over from the ponder thread, I love my Srixon 765's, just looking for something a bit more forgiving. I really think the forged with fit the bill for that, the previous model of Hot Metal was crazy long and plenty forgiving. I just have an eye for that bit of a thinner top line of the forged or tour. Just think the tour would be to demanding for what I want to do. Just looking to play the game a bit easier next year. ( not getting any younger)
