Golf Clubs Irons

Golf club irons are called such because they have been traditionally made from metal for the last several centuries. These clubs are generally for fairway play, but on shorter holes many professionals can use them as a driver. Most club sets have a range of different irons from which the golfer can choose.

With most professional golf clubs, irons are of a muscle back design. These clubs have a completely solid head behind the striking surface. This facilitates longer hits, but the player must have a very consistent swing for these clubs to be effective.

For recreational golf clubs, irons are made in a “cavity back” design. This means that the backside of the club has been hallowed out to increase the sweet spot of the club. These clubs allow much easier ball control, but a bit of loss on distance.
