What are the best golf irons?
You need to make sure you choose the best golf irons for your level of skill when you go out onto the course, there are three different things you need to consider:
Club head design:
There are fat and thin designs for irons, typically the fatter the head is then the more forgiving it is and the better it is for beginners.
A lot of the best golf irons have a cavity back design which is where you see metal added around the outside of the back of the head, with a cavity going down behind a lip at the bottom. That extra weight helps to increase the MOI by stopping it twisting on impact, and gives you a larger sweetspot to hit with.
Most people should go for a cavity back design, if you go for a ‘blade’ style then they are for pros and do not have any forgiveness if you don’t hit it right, but they are used because you can shape your shot more if you know what you are doing.
Shaft type:
Are you going to get graphite or steel? I prefer graphite because it is lighter, but some people prefer the extra weight of a steel shaft, this is more of a personal preference in my opinion as you can play great with either shaft.
Shaft flex:
This is how much the shaft will flex as you swing and make contact with the ball. Most people are fine with a regular shaft, but if you notice you swing faster than most of your friends, then you might want to consider getting a shaft that is stiff.
Those tips should help you choose the best golf irons for your game, there are loads of great clubs out there and below are the two places we recommend to get some great clubs from:

PineMeadow |
| PineMeadow actually manufacture their own golf clubs, and have been doing so for a long time now. They are extremely well thought of and produce some great clubs both for looks and performance.Just look at that sleek black driver they produce in the image on the left, the ‘Command BK’ range just looks unbelievable!
Like a golfing stealth bomber in your hands ready to unleash a cruel bombing on your golf buddies (maybe a bit melodramatic but you get the idea). And the Command BK Irons look even better! Plus as they manufacture the clubs then you can customise the clubs right there on the page, you want different grips? No problem they have about 8 types, you want a different length, just say so! A different grade of steel for the shaft? a different flex? All in a matter of clicks. That is why they deserve to be in first place, you can’t beat that blend of quality customer service, the finest crafted quality clubs and then the ability to customise them to suit you and your playing style exactly. A well deserved 4.5/5 and first place for this site, check it out today, you won’t be disappointed. |

Golfsmith |
| This site is one of the best I have seen for a long time.It doesn’t settle for anything but the highest quality, you’ll find clubs here from all the top manufacturers here, TaylorMade, Callaway, Nike Golf and more.Combine that with great prices, great customer service and all the accessories you could need including some of the best bags on the market, and you get a top notch site.
The only reason this doesn’t win is because Pinemeadow beats these clubs hands down on price while still giving you great quality and playability. But if you want the best brand names and are willing to pay brand name prices – then this is the place to get them. A worthy 2nd place with a solid 4/5 for being no-nonsense quality! |
