Looking to get new irons. Currently play the Hogan Apex Plus forged irons and love them, by the older I’m getting, I need something a little more forgiving and still get some distance. Right now, I like the looks of the WS V6’s and Mizuno 919’s. Thoughts?

More forgiving? You’ll probably like the mixing better. Take a look at Srixon. I love mine. Everyone that tries them seems to like them.

How are those Hogan’s?

You aren't likely to get any better distance out of either, but especially not the V6s, which run a degree weaker than the Apex Plus. The V6 and the 919 Forged aren't really in the same class of iron either, with the V6 being aimed at a much lower handicap. That being said, I play V4s, which are VERY similar to the V6, and they're pretty forgiving for what they are.

If you really want higher lofts (more distance) and more forgiveness, I would really look into the Srixon 5 or 7 series irons, or maybe the WS C300 Forged.

I play the V6's and they're the best set of irons I've ever hit. The only thing missing when you flush one is the angel chorus. But as far as distance and forgiveness, I don't think they'll be what you're looking for.

Mizzuno Tour 7 - PW
Mizzuno Forged 4 - 6

The mizzunos are pure - love the control and feel. The srixons May be the better club - control, distance....the mizzuno paired with modus nippon 130 shaft allows me to attack greens with just a bit better groupings.

I bet the srixons are a club longer at least.
