Golf Clubs - Irons
Irons are the clubs used most of the time in
the game of golf. Irons can be used to drive, hit fairway
shots, chip, pitch, and occasional chase away the unwanted
snake. Irons come in several styles and designs but
all are similar in how they work.
What Are Irons Used For
 Irons
are used to advance the ball just like the other clubs
in the bag but they have a different look and feel compared
to a wedge or wood. Irons come
in two styles, cavity backs and blades. The cavity backs
provide more forgiveness on poorly hit shots. The blades
are what the pros use to deliver accuracy and greater
distances. Irons come in a set, usually the 2-9 Iron,
a pitching wedge and a sand wedge.
These clubs can send a properly hit ball distances of
200+ yards and can also delicately chip a ball over
a sand trap only 1 yards ahead.
How Will Irons Help My Golf Game
 If
you want to at least compete while playing golf you
need to learn how to hit Irons. Some golfers
can substitute fairway woods for some of their Irons
but the 7, 8, & 9 irons should be in every golfers
bag and be part of their game.
Driving ranges offer a place for golfers to
practice using irons. Amateur golfers should
all take advantage of the local driving range and be
sure to hit some balls off the grass as well as the
artificial surfaces or carpets. Learn your distances
and what each club is capable of when hit properly.
