Golf iron is a type of club that used in the sport of golf to propel the ball towards the hole. Usually, it is used for the short game... anything ranging from 200 yards to less than 100 yards. There are three main components to an iron, the club head, the shaft and the grip.
Club Heads
Standard size club heads offer better control for advanced players; Midsize club heads offer a combination of traditional and oversized irons, with a bigger sweet spot than standard clubs. These clubs are easier to handle than the oversized clubs; Oversized club heads are more forgiving on miss-hits, but are more difficult to control for better players.
Club Shafts
Steel shafts are stronger, more durable and less expensive than graphite shafts. They provide greater consistency from shaft to shaft, and offer more control. However, they require a faster swing to generate the same distance as graphite. Steel shafts golf clubs are recommended for stronger players who could use a little extra control in their game.
Graphite shafts are lighter than steel and can be is available in many more variations, making it easier to select a shaft best suited to your style of play. Graphite is more expensive than steel and is less durable. The lighter weight provides greater swing speed for more power and absorbs shock, but you will sacrifice control.
Types of Irons
Forged irons, good for low handicap golfers, have no special weight distribution on the back of the club head, and the center of gravity is in the center of the club head. Most forged irons also have the weight higher in the face, which allows an advanced player to better control trajectory. Forged irons are less forgiving on a miss-hit.
Cast irons have a cavity back construction, and are also known as perimeter weighted irons. Most of the iron's head weight is on the outside of the head. This provides a larger sweet spot because more of the weight is on the edges of the club face. If you are a beginners, you will tend to miss-hit the ball more often that you'd like, but this type if iron would benefit you because it is more forgiving. Cast irons are good for mid- to high-handicap golfers.
