How to Choose Irons for Yourself (One)

    Since there are plenty of irons offered on market, what kind of irons is the most suitable for you? Do you know how to choose right irons for yourself? You need to consider a lot of elements when you choose irons, but there are some particularly important ones that will be covered in this article. Irons are the clubs that can not be omitted in golf game, and a typical bag usually includes a driver, a fairway wood, a putter and irons (some include wedges—sand wedge, pitching wedge, or maybe approach wedge). A standard iron set would be 3 to Pitching Wedge (PW) or 3 to Sand Wedge (SW). For example, the new released TaylorMade R11 Irons are 4-9PAS which means this R11 iron set includes 4 to 9 iron and Pitching wedge, Approach wedge, Sand wedge.

Before choosing irons, you need to know some basic specs of irons. The 3 iron has the lowest loft (around 20 degrees to the vertical) and hits the ball low and long. The pitching edge has loft of about 50 degrees and sand wedge 56 degrees which can hit the ball high but not as far. The 4 iron, 5, 6 etc have distance difference of around 12-15 yards. From this we can see the lower the iron number is, the lower the loft is, and the lower the farther ball can travel if hit correctly. But the lower the loft, the harder it is to control because of more spin. Nowadays, more and more players begin to use hybrid or utility clubs to replace hard-to-hit long irons (3 and 4 iron), so some iron set does not have 3 and 4 iron. In TaylorMade R11 Irons, there is no 3 iron. This is particularly common for ladies’ irons that are sold from 4 or 5 iron up.
