It doesn't always have to be the latest club of the season to improve your golf game. Many models from previous years offer technology at the highest level and are heavily discounted at the start of the season. We have taken a closer look at a selection of different Iron sets for our readers and present the most important features, target groups and technologies.
The Cobra Darkspeed Iron set is aimed specifically at golfers who want to improve their game. With an offer price of €599.99 (RRP: €899.00), the set offers a high margin of error and is designed to help golfers develop their full distance potential.
The clubheads are made with a hollow body construction that is filled with vibration dampening foam in the longer irons (4-7). A face developed with artificial intelligence (H.O.T. Face) enlarges the sweet spot and ensures consistent ball speeds, even with shots that are not optimally hit. The PWR bridge weight positions the centre of gravity very low, which optimizes ball launch. The Darkspeed set is an option for anyone looking for a combination of distance and a comfortable feel.
Golfers looking for a versatile club for solid performance might be interested in the Callaway Rogue ST MAX set. It is available for €649.99 (RRP: €942.99) and combines various technologies to maximize ball speed and forgiveness.
At its heart is the A.I. designed 450 steel Flash Face Cup, which has been specifically optimized in thickness for each loft to ensure consistent spin and high ball speeds. A precise tungsten weighting in the club head also ensures improved hitting conditions. The set is aimed at a broad target group that strives for reliable performance on the course.
The Wilson DynaPWR Irons are designed for golfers who struggle to get the ball airborne with irons. With an offer price of €749.99 (RRP: €840.00), the set features a hollow body construction that places the center of gravity low in the sole.
The Velocity Optimization Channel on the sole allows for a more flexible clubface and therefore higher ball speeds. The combination of a low center of gravity and a high moment of inertia should produce a high, stable ball flight that gives golfers more control on the green.
The PXG 0311 XP GEN7 Iron set is the most expensive in this comparison, but also offers a range of high-end technologies. For €1,499.00 (RRP: €1,734.00), it is aimed at players who are looking for maximum performance.
The set features the thinnest face in golf, which together with the QuantumCOR core material ensures an extremely high trampoline effect. An internal tungsten weighting improves forgiveness, while the unique customizable weight in the club head allows for individual tuning in the fitting process.
For lovers of classic feel, Mizuno offers the JPX 925 Forged Iron set. Available for €1,299.00 (RRP: €1,470.00), this set combines the brand's traditional craftsmanship with modern distance technologies.
The racket heads are forged using the Grain Flow Forged HD process, which provides the legendary soft Mizuno feel. A CORTECH design and multi-material construction in the long irons are designed to deliver consistent ball speed. The set is an option for players who want to combine a premium feel with the benefits of modern, forgiving technology.
