Iron clubs are always identified as the most important clubs in golf. The uniqueness in each golfer also reflects on which iron clubs work best with them.

Because every golfer knows that the most important fact in golf is to know and use the best iron club based on their uniqueness, they should base their choices on their grip and playing style. Whether you are an amateur or professional player, you will always find an ideal set that is perfect for you.

In order to find out which golf iron would be best, you first have to know the two basic types of irons. These are forged and cast irons. The two differ on how they are made. Forged iron are made in an old fashioned way, through melting the metal and then hammering it to the ideal club shape. After which it goes through milling, drilling and grinding in order to get it to its best head shape. Cast irons are made easier and are melted into molds. The process is easier which makes them cheaper because the process is done automatically.

Aside from knowing the types, it is also very important to know which irons are used for which shots. Because there are varying facets in the game, identifying which iron you need is absolutely imperative.

The height affects the way one plays and most especially, the way you handle an iron club. Choose a golf iron that is ideal for you, not too long and not to short. Not being able to do so will greatly affect your swing and how much power you can give it.

The next step is to consider your handicap. Low handicap will require lower irons. When handicap is in the mid, irons should be ideally 3 to 9. High handicap golfers would fall on irons that are over 100. It would also be possible for higher handicaps to prefer using woods or wedge clubs.

The different sizes of golf irons should always be considered. The three basic sizes for iron heads are oversized, midsized and standard. The bigger the size, the more difficult it is to control. So if you’re an amateur, it is best to start with the smaller heads.

Lastly, the shaft is an important consideration. Graphite and steel are the two materials used. They have their own pros and cons. Steel shafts are heavier, but they are very durable. They are also stiff and have a tendency to limit control in your swing.
