Which Clubs Are Included In An Iron Set?
Most irons sets available at DICK'S contain the 3-9 irons and two or three wedges. Some sets replace the harder-to-hit long irons with more forgiving hybrid clubs. Check the product specifications to make sure your set includes the clubs you need.
Choose an iron set based on your skill level and playing style:
- Skilled, low handicappers place a premium on shot-shaping control and Tour-caliber appearance. These qualities can be found in Players and Players Distance irons. Workability is key — these irons provide precise control over trajectory and distance for players who hit the center of the clubface consistently. They also look the part, featuring thin soles and toplines in a classic, compact shape. If you have the skill to plant one next to the pin, these irons will let you do it.
- Mid-handicappers breaking 90 and working to go lower will be well served by Game-Improvement Irons. These irons are built to enhance launch and distance while maintaining a classic look, sound and feel that will appeal to more experienced players. Go with Game-Improvement if you're making progress but still need help with trajectory and distance.
- Beginners and high handicappers typically need help getting the ball airborne. If this describes you, consider a set of Super Game-Improvement irons. These irons feature a wider sole and lower center of gravity to assist with launch, along with a lightweight shaft to generate more clubhead speed and ultimately longer distance. You may also want to choose an iron with technology designed to provide maximum forgiveness on mis-hits.
Shaft Types
Another key consideration when buying irons is shaft type. Most irons have steel, graphite, or multi-material shafts. Graphite iron shafts tend to be the lightest and most flexible, with the potential to maximize swing speed. Steel shafts are the heaviest — the additional weight can help improve swing consistency and accuracy. Finally, multi-material shafts offer a combination of steel and graphite, giving players added control of ball flight.
You will also need to decide what type of flex you want in your iron shafts. In general, the shaft flex you choose should correspond with your swing speed. Players with swing speeds between 77-92 MPH may get better results with a regular shaft flex, while players with swing speeds from 93-107 MPH may prefer the feel of stiff flex.
