Choosing the right Irons
Playing golf has certain things in common with a book. Both have a beginning, in golf this would be your driving, both have an end, for golf this would be putting and getting the middle part wrong, in both cases, and either you won’t bother getting to the end or you won’t care when you do.
You may have mastered the art of driving and your short game may not be too shabby but if your iron game isn’t up to scratch it could all fall to pieces, rapidly.
An iron set is made up of 2 distinct categories:
- Performance Irons
- Irons to improve your game
When choosing a new golf iron set, try to narrow down the many iron sets options. If you are a mid-high handicap golfer then a game improvement iron set would be better suited to your game play, but, if your handicap falls within the mid-low range, than performance iron sets are what you are looking for.
Cavity back irons, usually made from cast steel, offer a much larger sweetspot because of the distribution of weight around the perimeter of the club head making them a much more forgiving iron set and easier to use than the iron sets the professionals use. A good choice for golfers up to a mid handicap.
A more experienced golfer may wish to choose an iron set made from forged steel , sometimes known as blade irons, which are made from softer steel than cavity back irons, so the golfer has a greater feel of the ball, but they are less forgiving of mis-hits.
Another consideration, before making you choice of a new iron set is, of course, the shaft material. A graphite shaft is, usually, better for golfers with a slower swing speed, whereas, steel makes a perfect choice for golfers with a faster swing.
