What type of golf iron is good for you?

The main types of iron are Cavity back, muscle back and combo sets. Cavity back is the most common type of iron, the cavity allows the centre of gravity to be placed lower and helps get the ball in the air, they are also a lot more forgiving, therefore they are very popular with amateurs however even professionals use them because they are so forgiving. Cavity back irons are also slightly offset which helps prevent the player slicing the ball. Cavity back irons are mainly cast. Muscle back irons obviously have no cavity, just a solid back, they also have no offset. They can be quite daunting to hit for an amateur because they have such a thin top line and small face. Muscle back irons are usually forged for better feel, and only shots that hit the sweet spot will go well. Muscle back irons are probably the most popular with professionals because they are good ball strikers and they can get the best from the club. The combo sets are the best of both worlds, they usually have cavity back long irons, mid irons with a small cavity and short irons being muscle back ones. Long irons are usually quite hard to hit for amateurs so the cavity allows them to get the ball in the air. Mid irons are usually ok for many players but the cavity just helps them get the best from them and the short irons because they have so much loft are easy enough to hit, and most players will get the best from a muscle back short iron. If you are a high handicapper you should use cavity back irons as it will be best for your game, and it may even improve your game. Mid to low handicappers can use combo sets or sets with smaller cavities and low handicappers can use muscle back or 'blade irons' as they are also known. A low handicapper may benefit from using cavity irons but it is highly unlikely a high handicapper would benefit from using muscle back irons.


What are all the different golf clubs for?

There are three main styles when it comes to golf irons. The first and probably the most common among amateur golfers is a cavity back. This club has a significant indentation on the backside of the club. These irons will be the most forgiving of the three main types and will give the most consistent feedback. I would recommend these irons for anyone with a handicap above a 10 as they are a great starting club. Adams golf club is possibly making the best cavity back irons right now. They come in two types, game improvement and super game improvement both of which are good for the beginning golfer. The next major type is what many companies call a half-cav, or a half cavity back. These irons will have less of an indentation on the back and are slightly less forgiving. These irons will allow the player to shape shots significantly more than the full cavity back and are made for players in the 0-10 handicap range. Many tour pros play these irons and absolutely love them. The final type is a blade iron. These will have no indentation in the back and would qualify as very unforgiving. These irons will react very poorly to any shot that is not hit on the sweet spot. These irons will definitely allow the player to shape shots to their heart's desire. These are the only irons that will truly allow the player to hit massive hooks or slices that aren't possible with the full or half cavity irons. Some of the tour pros are playing these irons but many of them have moved away from these irons in recent years because the half-cavs have made significant improvements. I personally would not recommend playing blade irons unless you average under par. I did play blades for awhile and I am a low single digit handicap and absolutely hated them. They are very difficult to be consistent with but if you are a very good player then you can handle them.


I am off a handicap of 20 but going down quickly what irons would you recommend for me?

I think that the ideal irons for you would be a game improvement ones. They are usually not massively oversized but are still very forgiving. They usually have a cavity back. They are usually classed as game improvement irons by the manufacturer. If you got them custom fit for loft, lie and shaft length this would help you a lot.

What do you think of the new Cobra SZ irons?

The 2009 model? Yes, I am quite impressed by the. At address they sit very well and they are a great game improvement iron. I think they are the best cavity back iron that Cobra have came out with in a while. They would definitely be a good purchase. But if you are buying new irons, do not limit yourself to these, have a look at other irons, go to a golf shop and hit a number of sets and see which ones you hit and like the best.


Golf Irons Review With Tiger Woods?

Nike Victory Red - Golf Irons Review With Tiger WoThe Nike Victory Red irons are used by golfing greats such as Tiger Woods. There are three models in the V-R or Victory Red iron family, each aiming their profound build at each level of golfer.Boasting a deep cavity with thick top profile, the moderate offset weight gives the mid to high-range handicap player a forgiveness in swings that aren't quite up to par. Designed with 431 stainless steel in place of the usual 17-4 stainless steel in other brands, the Victory Red has an amazing feel like those in higher range clubs. A higher trajectory can be expected with the higher center of gravity moved further back in the iron. The perimeter weighting is what gives the VR so much forgiveness in each swing.The Victory Red irons developed by Nike are cast irons although the feel of them is unsurpassed. Normally, on these types of irons, the trajectory didn't rate too high, while the Nike Victory Red irons provide the output needed to play a great game of golf.The main difference when compared to the split cavity irons is the top line of the club is built a bit thicker. Combine this with a greater offset in the hosel to give the golfer a better shot ability than with other clubs.For handicappers that are in the mid to lower range, the Victory Red forged split cavity irons are designed for just this range of ability. A hybrid version of the Victory Red irons, the forged split cavity irons deliver the high-quality iron that a better player expects.
