Offset irons are easier to hit because of the position of the club at impact. At impact, the hands should be leading the ball, therefore having the club face lag behind. The offset of clubs allow non-pros to have a similar club location at impact, and this will give you a better ball flight.

What type of golf iron is good for you?

The main types of iron are Cavity back, muscle back and combo sets. Cavity back is the most common type of iron, the cavity allows the centre of gravity to be placed lower and helps get the ball in the air, they are also a lot more forgiving, therefore they are very popular with amateurs however even professionals use them because they are so forgiving. Cavity back irons are also slightly offset which helps prevent the player slicing the ball. Cavity back irons are mainly cast. Muscle back irons obviously have no cavity, just a solid back, they also have no offset. They can be quite daunting to hit for an amateur because they have such a thin top line and small face. Muscle back irons are usually forged for better feel, and only shots that hit the sweet spot will go well. Muscle back irons are probably the most popular with professionals because they are good ball strikers and they can get the best from the club. The combo sets are the best of both worlds, they usually have cavity back long irons, mid irons with a small cavity and short irons being muscle back ones. Long irons are usually quite hard to hit for amateurs so the cavity allows them to get the ball in the air. Mid irons are usually ok for many players but the cavity just helps them get the best from them and the short irons because they have so much loft are easy enough to hit, and most players will get the best from a muscle back short iron. If you are a high handicapper you should use cavity back irons as it will be best for your game, and it may even improve your game. Mid to low handicappers can use combo sets or sets with smaller cavities and low handicappers can use muscle back or 'blade irons' as they are also known. A low handicapper may benefit from using cavity irons but it is highly unlikely a high handicapper would benefit from using muscle back irons.

How have irons changed in the last 100 years?

A hundred years ago irons were made of solid metal. They were set to warm (usually on an open fire) and then used to press clothes. Electric irons first appeared early in the Twentieth Century, and didn't become commonplace in working-class households until the 1940's. But once electric irons were widespread, electric steam irons became a possibility (steam irons became commonplace during the 1960's). Ironing is much easier these days.


What are the easiest irons to hit?

The most forgiving irons are those which have very 'chunky' heads, you should look for something along the lines of Callway and even Ping are very good. The idea of the forgiving clubs is that they have a low c.o.g and are easily able to get the ball up in the air. Clubs like hybrids are very easy to hit, and you can even get a full set of irons like this, they are called the Cleveland Hi-Bore.
