In our Titleist AP3 review<\/span>, we will look at how the manufacturer has designed players distance irons to go long and be forgiving.<\/span><\/p>\n If you are a lower handicap golfer, this is definitely not the first time that you have been in the market for a set of irons. Here are a few pointers to refresh your memory, before you go out splurging on a new set.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Ball Speed<\/strong><\/p>\n The speed that your ball leaves the clubface, will determine how long it is in the air, and ultimately how far it will go. If you have a faster swing speed you likely have no problem generating enough ball speed with any club. However, if your swing is on the slow side, you will need to consider irons that can help you increase your ball speed upon impact.<\/span><\/p>\n Golf coaches estimate that for an extra mile per hour of ball speed, you end up with two additional yards of carry.<\/span> Generating ball speed is a combination of four factors, physical power, mobility, technical, and equipment. Each factor contributes 25% to you achieving faster ball speeds.<\/span><\/p>\n If you are a low handicap but struggle with generating ball speed, it may be worthwhile looking at game improving irons that can help you improve your launch and distance.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Workability<\/strong><\/p>\n Mid to lower handicap golfers enjoy the ability to shape their shots and have more control over the trajectory of their ball. If you are one of these golfers then you want to consider irons that are not offset, and move in the air on your backswing enabling easier manipulation of the club on your follow-through.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Again, blades tick all the boxes here, however, if you want some forgiveness in your club then a players iron or players distance iron may be better suited to your needs. Having a forgiven club without compromising on the ability to shape your shots is hard to not consider.<\/span><\/p>\n Clubhead Design<\/strong><\/p>\n The standard options of clubheads are oversize, mid-size, and blades. Oversize clubheads are not the prettiest creations, but they are forgiving and help you achieve consistent distance and direction. These irons are generally offset, and have cavity backs, which create a larger sweet spot, by pushing the weight away from the clubface and distributing it evenly in the sole.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nThings To Consider Before Buying a Set of Irons<\/h2>\n
