Men's Iron Series

The heart of the bag

The iron set makes up the majority of clubs in the golf bag: it covers approach shots to the green, from the fairway or rough, at medium and short distances. A classic set ranges from five iron or six to pitching wedge, with each iron adding a few degrees of loft for a reduced distance of about ten metres. Long irons are increasingly being replaced by hybrids, which are easier to play.

All clubs can be found on the men's clubs page.

Tolerance or precision

The cavity back irons, with weight distributed around the perimeter of the clubhead, forgive off-centre hits and suit most players: this is the case with the TaylorMade Qi series, designed for tolerance and distance. The forged irons and blades, which are more compact, offer better feel and control for skilled players. The Srixon ZX Mark II from the Japanese brand offers an excellent compromise.

Getting well equipped

The graphite shaft, which is lighter than steel, helps with swing speed and filters vibrations, making it ideal for players with a moderate swing and seniors. The flexibility is chosen based on swing speed: regular for most amateurs, stiff for fast swings. A fitting, a trial guided by a professional, helps adjust the length, lie, and grip to suit one's physique.

Good deals

Good deals can also be found in good plans, promotions, clearance, sales, and Black Friday. The new arrivals showcase the latest collections, and items shipped within 24h are prepared and dispatched in 24 hours. The key events of the year follow a stable order: Black Friday at the end of autumn, the end-of-year holidays, winter sales, French Days in spring, followed by summer sales and back-to-school.

Frequently Asked Questions

What flex should I choose for an iron set?

The flex depends on swing speed: regular for most amateurs, stiff for fast swings, senior or lady for slower ones. A shaft that is too stiff causes the ball to go low and to the right for a right-handed player.

Graphite or steel shaft for golf irons?

Graphite, being lighter, helps to gain swing speed and filters vibrations, which is easier on the joints. Steel, being heavier, offers more control to fast and consistent players.

What iron set is best for a beginner or intermediate golfer?

A beginner should opt for forgiving irons, with cavity backs and wide soles, which forgive off-centre hits, such as the TaylorMade Qi series. More compact irons, like the Srixon ZX, are suitable for regular players seeking precision.

Why does a series start at five or six iron?

The long irons, three and four, are hard to get airborne for most amateurs. They are often replaced by hybrids, which are easier to play, hence sets ranging from five or six iron to pitching wedge.

Is a left-handed set chosen differently?

The criteria remain the same: level, swing speed, and shaft flex. You just need to verify that the set is available in left-handed version, with the clubhead being reversed, and that the length of the clubs matches one's height.
