When you break down a round of golf, the majority of your swings are taken with your irons. From teeing off on a par 3 to a second shot from the fairway and approach shots of all types, many players will use an iron multiple times per hole. With the help of TGW’s pro, we put the top players’ irons for 2020 to the test.
What We Tested
We tested a selection of the top players’ irons from the best brands in golf. The irons used for the 2020 best players’ irons test are:
How We Tested
Testing was conducted by Rick Hatfield, head golf pro at Flint Hills National Golf Club and TGW’s resident golf pro. All of the data was gathered on the practice range at Flint Hills National Golf Club using a Foresight GC2 launch monitor and 2019 Titleist Pro V1 golf balls.
2020 Players’ Iron Testing
Players’ irons are for low-to-mid handicap golfers who make consistent contact and a strong, repeatable swing. These players want to be able to control the trajectory and direction of their shots but might still want some help with forgiveness and distance. That is why players’ irons come in a variety of shapes. Some are blades, some are cavity back, all of them provide the control with benefits you are looking for.
When you are ready to select your next set of irons, TGW has everything you need to get the best set for your game. We have a large selection of iron sets, combo sets, and individual irons from the biggest names in golf like PING, TaylorMade, Callaway, Titleist, and many more.
