Golf Clubs � Golf Drivers � Which Iron?

If you're uncertain about which golf irons to choose when it comes to your golf club set, read our comprehensive guide below.

One of the most essential and basic parts of any golfer's game is their iron play and golf irons truly are one of the priorities within your golfing bag. If you perfect your iron shots, it will certainly be a defining moment in your game. Golf irons make up 8-9 of the golf clubs in a golf set so finding the right golf irons for you will ensure that you improve your game.

Golf irons come in two different types, forged iron and the cast iron. Forged iron produces a solid looking, soft metal iron which has a reduced sweet spot. The cast iron is more suited to today's golf irons which are perimeter weighted and more intricate. The method used to produce the cast irons is easier which is why the price of cast iron golf clubs are cheaper.

Golf irons come in two different types of design, the blade and the Cavity Back designs.

Blade - The blade design of golf iron has a small hitting area from a thin clubhead. The blades are distributed uniformly throughout the head which produces a small sweet spot in the centre of the golf club head. This type of golf club is suited to low handicap golf players who prefer to benefit from the feel and workability factor of a blade golf iron.

Cavity Back � The Cavity Back golf iron has a unique design. Made from stainless steel, the cavity back iron offers a hard hitting golf club shot because it distributes the weight around the perimeter of the head, producing a large sweet spot. The cavity back iron is suited to high handicap golf players who wish to improve their game.

Shafts

There are three different shafts chosen for golf irons � steel, graphite and multi-material golf irons. Steel is the most common shaft as its components suit a set of irons. The low costs of steel golf irons coupled with their durability, make them a very attractive purchase for any golfer. Graphite golf irons are not as common as steel irons but can be equally advantageous due to the lightweight capability of graphite. The advantage of a graphite shaft is that a golfer can increase swing speed and distance when swinging their golf clubs. The main drawback of a graphite shaft is its higher cost. However, if you're an older golfer, junior or lady golfer, it is well worth investing in this type of golf iron shaft. The third and newest design of golf iron shaft available is the multi-material shaft. This type of shaft combines steel and graphite in one shaft.
