Cleveland Golf Irons

Cleveland Irons Built to Make the Game Easier

Cleveland Golf has focused its iron lineup on forgiveness and easy launch. Its game improvement irons help golfers who struggle with consistent contact get the ball airborne and keep mishits playable. The lineup includes the Halo XL Full-Face, ZipCore XL, and Launcher MAX irons, with women's versions of Halo XL Full-Face and ZipCore XL. Every Cleveland iron is covered by TGW's 30-Day Playability Guarantee.

Halo XL Full-Face Irons

The Halo XL Full-Face irons have a large, hybrid-iron profile and grooves that run across the entire face, which Cleveland calls an industry first for an iron. The design keeps spin more consistent on toe strikes. A three-sole system matches the sole to long, mid, and short irons. If you struggle with long irons, Halo XL is one of the easiest irons to launch.

ZipCore XL Irons

ZipCore XL irons blend forgiving long irons with more precise short irons. The long irons are built for launch and forgiveness, while the short irons use Cleveland's ZipCore technology for spin and control. Cleveland's V-shaped sole adds bounce at the leading edge so the club moves through the turf instead of digging, which helps golfers who catch shots a little heavy. ZipCore XL suits golfers who want forgiveness but a more traditional iron look than Halo XL.

Who Cleveland Irons Fit Best

Cleveland irons suit beginners, high handicaps, and golfers with moderate swing speeds who want more launch and forgiveness. If you are torn between an iron and a hybrid, the Golf Guide's guide to buying a hybrid and best irons for high handicaps can help.
