Select Golf Irons
that fit your Style

Generally, a set of golf irons consists of a #3 iron through #9 iron plus a wedge for a total of eight clubs. For most recreational players a lofted wood has replaced the #3 iron. In some cases the #4 iron has been replaced with a fairway wood or a hybrid club.

The clubs are identified by a number. The low numbers have less loft than the higher numbers. A #3 iron has less loft than a #4 iron, which has less loft than a #5 iron. A #3 iron has a longer shaft than the #4 iron. The #4 iron has a longer shaft than the #5 iron and so on.

The lower numbered clubs are used for longer shots. For most recreational players the long irons are more difficult to hit. The short irons have more loft and are therefore easier to hit.

Irons are mostly used from fairways, but they can also be used from the tee on short par 4 holes and par 3 holes.
