Irons Golf Clubs | Reviews of Men's Sets

Ah, look at these old beauties. The Ping Zing irons have been around for 30 years now, and yes, they are still very relevant. That's not very common today in a sport where technology makes most of our clubs obsolete in two years. The ...

Nike is certainly not going to be left out of the super game improving market. Thus, I introduce you to the Nike SQ Machspeed irons. These irons are big, forgiving, and long.

The Machspeed's claim to fame is its new face weld and thin stainless steel ...

Take a look at these beautiful Titleist cavity back irons. This model is a few years old, but is still a great club. I played these clubs for years before I switched to the Titleist 735CM, which I currently play.

The 690s are a forgiving cavity back, ...

You're looking at tools of a champion. Champion Tour's Freddy Couples is swinging these. They seem to be working, as he has dominated the Champions Tour since he burst onto the scene. Fred has been playing at the top of his game and hitting these irons pure.

They ...

Ahh, I love these irons. These are the irons that I am currently playing. (Well, not currently -- I'm writing a review, but on Saturday I will be playing them.)

I've played these for about 2 or 3 years. I can't say it was love at ...

Here is a nice set of game-improving irons. The first thing I noticed is the modern-looking design: a cavity back design with a notch over the sweet spot.

The inverted cone technology expands the COR Zone. COR is the trampoline effect that you get off of the clubface. ...

I have to tell you, this is one of the best values I've seen for a set of irons since I've started reviewing clubs. These are Tommy Armour's Silver Scot Forged Cavity Backs, and they are a great-looking set of golf clubs.

Let's start with the faces. They have ...

You're looking at a player's iron by Titleist. Don't be fooled by the cavity back; this iron still demands a good level of skill. But if you are a mid to low handicapper, you are going to love it.

PGA Tour pro Ryan Palmer swings these irons, and ...

"Responsive" is the word I would us to describe these cavity back irons. The J36 is made with 1020 carbon steel which is extremely soft. When you hit the ball on the grooves, you can really feel it, and "Man Oh Man" does it feel good. ...

Look Ma!! It's LASERS! Cleveland used lasers to mill the face of these game-improving irons. It gives the surface area a roughness designed to maximize spin.

I'm not a huge fan of this blocky-looking, cavity-back-style iron, although it does have some redeeming qualities. For one, the ...

I would use the word "innovative" when describing this set of game-improving irons. They incorporate an inverted-core technology to expand the sweet spot, giving the irons a bigger and hotter clubface. The cavity back is very traditional looking, and I like the basic teardrop shape.

The 3-through-6 ...

Well, isn't this interesting? Mizuno, the king of "Players" clubs, is sticking their big toe in the game improvement department. Let's take a look at what they've come up with.

These MX-1000s were developed with a super COR and a massive MOI. They construct these ...

Adams has always been the leader in the hybrids, and they've really outdone themselves again with this set. I really like these A7 OS Hybrids.

Quick and simple: These clubs are going to help your game! The long irons have an extra 44 grams in ...

Well, you found them. This is what the kid plays. By kid, of course I mean Tiger Woods. He not only plays these -- he gave his input to the Nike engineers who designed them. But can you handle them?

I assume you already ...

So you want to play Tiger Woods' irons, but you don't quite have Tiger Woods' game? These irons were made for you.

No, they are not for beginners - more for better players that want a tour-quality golf club, with a little bit more forgiveness than those hard-core blades ...

2009 US Open Champion Lucas Glover has these Nike CCi irons in his bag. They're the most inexpensive irons I've seen that an actual PGA pro plays.

CCi stands for Composite Cavity Insert. The cavity back design makes the club a bit more forgiving than the typical ...

Yes, you are looking at a 2-iron! And no, this is not the History Channel. These things are just about obsolete these days (which is why you can buy one for only $30.) The 2 iron has gone the way of the type writer, the Betamax videocassette, ...

Feast your eyes on these new Mizuno irons. I think Mizuno makes the most beautiful irons of all the major club makers. But buyer beware, these clubs are blades designed for exceptional players.

The MP-68 irons are Mizuno's latest and greatest tour quality clubs. It looks to be ...

I'm drooling now. Please don't look at me. It's embarrassing. These Mizuno MP-58s are a thing of beauty.

Let me compose myself and explain to you why these clubs are so cool. There's a new trend sweeping the PGA Tour, and that's the move towards cavity back style ...

I usually don't like these combo golf clubs sets. However, most golf club combo sets are cheap crap that you will outgrow in a few months. This is not the case with this set of TaylorMade Burner Irons. These are good quality golf clubs that I ...

Here's a great gift idea for the golf addict in your life. The Medicus, for my money, is the best swing trainer on the market. This set comes with two clubs, the 5 Iron and the Driver. The 5 Iron is a little easier to swing than ...

There are some clubs that are just plain nice. Of course in the past I have raved about Nike clubs, and even my Cobras that I'm so proud of but can't seem to hit...

But Callaway sure makes a nice product. One thing about this individual iron (this one being the ...

This looks like a splendid addition to your X-22 irons. Let me guess: you left your old lob wedge out on the green during your last round of golf? That was a bonehead mistake! I suppose you already called the course ten times and nobody has turned ...

The first time I ever heard the word "hybrid" was in 1995, and I was face to face with a four-legged beast. "W... W... Why do you have a wolf?" I asked my friend Trey.

"Oh, Rambo. He's not a wolf, silly… He's a wolf hybrid." Trey explained. ...

The legendary golf teacher Harvey Penick (author of The Little Red Book) used to say, "The best way to build golf muscles is to swing a heavy stick." The makers of the Momentus Swing Trainer Iron have taken this idea to the next level.

The Momentus Swing Trainer Iron has extra weight ...

Here's a lesson in Marketing 101: Keep repeating the name of the product over and over again until it is ingrained in your client's head, e.g. "The Perfect Club is wonderful. The Perfect Club hits great shots. The Perfect Club will cure cancer..." I remember they used to run ...

If you haven't swung a Medicus club, boy are you in for a treat. Well, by "treat" I mean if you are a masochist, and you like shanking balls across the driving range.

Seriously though, this is a really great training tool. I don't really like most of ...

It seems that technology in the golf world is traveling at the speed of light. By the time you get your new clubs home and out of the box, they've already come out with something better.

Never wanting to be behind the latest technology, I grabbed a Callaway Big Bertha ...

Any of you ever heard of Rocco Mediate? That's the ol' geezer that took Tiger Woods to an 18-hole playoff in the US Open in 2008, and even after that, Tiger needed an additional hole to finally fend him off.

I took a look in Rocco's bag and he's playing ...

If you are struggling with getting your irons airborne or suffer from inconsistent mishits, I can understand why you are checking out these hybrid irons. These clubs are designed to help you easily get the ball flying high towards the green.

When it comes to hybrids, I usually recommend the ...

This review is a little tricky. I feel like I might come off sounding like a golf snob. Oh well. You can take it, right? Plus, you don't have to agree with me. But... I think you will.

Be honest. We just love golf. Right? ...
