Golf Club Iron Sets

Irons are generally used when you are less than 200 yards away from the green. The closer you are to the green, the higher the iron you will use. A standard Iron Clubs Set irons consists of 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 IRONS and the PITCHING WEDGE (PW). The 3 and 4 irons are harder to hit than the higher number irons. Many golfers, especially ladies, seniors and higher handicap golfers, are changing to a modified standard golf set that replaces the 3 and 4 iron with hybrids. Hybrids are a cross-bread of woods and irons. We think this is a sensible trend and one that a beginning golfer should consider. Hybrids are easier to hit and more forgiving than a 3 or 4 iron and result in comparable distances. Wedges are specialty irons. The first wedge is the Pitching Wedge (PW), which is usually about 48 degrees in loft. Wedges generally increase in 4 degree loft amounts. So wedges commonly come in 48, 52, 56, 60 and 64 degree lofts. Wedges are extremely useful to your game and most golfers have a few of them. Wedges are generally designed as “blade clubs” because you are close enough to the green that the game improvement design elements (discussed below) are less important. The need for increased shot control and shot shaping, which blade design encourages, becomes the more important technology for a good wedge design and good golf club wedges.

The object of the golf game is to hit the ball straighter and farther, so Golf Clubs sets designed to do that are called GAME IMPROVEMENT golf clubs. The primary characteristics of game improvement Iron Clubs are perimeter weighting, large sweet spot and low center of gravity design.

a) Perimeter Weighted Iron Clubs

Perimeter weighting means that the weight of the golf club head is positioned around the perimeter of the golf club instead of at the center. If you always hit the ball dead center perfect, you would want a small sweet spot and no perimeter weighting so you could put as much physical mass directly behind the impact point of the ball. However, if you are off – even just a millimeter – your shot will go astray. Perimeter weight distribution maximizes forgiveness.

b) Large Sweet Spot

A large sweet spot is generally created by perimeter weighting design. The sweet spot is the optimum place to make contact with the ball. The larger the sweet spot, the greater room for swing error. But designing for the largest sweet spot can leave less room to correct other common swing errors. Perimeter weighting can be shifted to cure toe-miss-hits and to help get the ball up in the air.

c) Low Center of Gravity

Low center of gravity (C.G.) means shifting weight to the bottom of the club to increase the ability to hit the ball up into the air. If you don’t have a problem getting the golf ball off the ground, then C.G. should be less important to you. It you have a big problem in this area then C.G. matter a lot.
