Golf Irons – Specialists for Short and Medium Distances

What are irons used for, when are they used, and what makes a good iron or iron set?

One of the most versatile tools in golf is the iron. It allows for more precise ball control than a fairway wood and is preferred for shots over short and medium distances up to 180 meters. In certain situations, an iron can also be suitable for tee shots. The range of possibilities is vast, spanning from subtle to powerful strokes.

Irons feature a trapezoidal clubhead, which is either cast or – in the case of very high-quality irons – forged. In terms of construction, there are distinctions between so-called Blades, Cavity Backs, and Muscle Backs. Blades offer exceptional feedback on mishits but can be challenging to play due to structural peculiarities, thus predominantly favored by players with low handicaps.

Cavity and Muscle Backs are more forgiving due to their larger sweet spots and specialized weighting. Golf balls struck with them, even when not precisely centered, still fly far and relatively straight.

Irons come in various lengths and configurations. Besides individual irons, iron sets are predominantly offered nowadays. These are proven combinations of different irons for various purposes. A standard iron set typically includes irons 3 through 9 (the higher the number, the greater the loft, and the shorter the shaft length). An iron set is always more cost-effective than assembling individual irons.
