(Read More)Choosing the right set of golf irons is a vital part of improving as a golfer. Irons are the clubs you will hit the majority of approach shots with and so it is essential that you choose the right kind of irons to compliment your game.
A golf iron set usually consists of seven or eight irons all of which hit the ball different distances due to the changes in loft and shaft length. The lower the number on the iron the further the ball should travel and you will generally see a ten to twelve yards difference between each club.
When choosing a set of irons it is important to pick an iron set that closely matches your skill level and they broadly fall into one of the following categories:-
- Forged blades and cavity blades such as the Mizuno MP-20 are the most beautiful of golf irons and offer the most feel and control. They are also the most demanding to use with poorly struck shots seeing a significant drop in performance. Usually used by professionals and low handicappers.
- Hollow or Foam filled irons like the Taylormade P790 or Mizuno MP20 HMB are a relatively new introduction to the market but have taken the golfing world by storm. The head is slightly larger than on traditional blades but they do still have a cavity blade-like appearance. That is where the similarities end though. Featuring stronger lofts and high launching characteristics the performance of this style of golf iron is simply amazing with only a slight loss in feel. Usually used by mid to low handicappers.
- Cast game improvement irons like the Callaway Mavrik or Cobra Speedzone are the category of clubs that are most prevalent throughout the average golfer’s bag. Aimed at low to mid and mid to high handicappers the clubhead will be somewhat larger than the blades and offer great performance even on off-centre strikes. They are usually the most cost-effective golf irons to buy.
- Super Game improvement irons such as the Titleist T400 or PING G710 offer the most forgiveness of any irons on the market. They have the largest head size to really inspire confidence at address and produce incredible distance. Usually used by mid to high handicappers.
