Best irons of 2022 for every budget and handicap

In the market for some new irons? We’ve got you covered.

Golf’s surge in popularity over the last two years has brought an influx of new players to the game, many of whom either borrowed clubs from friends or rented sets from the course. Maybe they just reached into the demo bucket at the local range and discovered that while golf is challenging, it is also rewarding, especially when you hit a great shot.

When it comes to irons, there are more options than ever before, ranging from muscleback blades for elite players who want to maximize their ability to curve the ball and shape shots to distance-enhancing irons to clubs that look and perform like miniature hybrids.

The best way to discover which set of irons is best for you is to work with a good custom fitter and try as many different combinations of heads and shafts as possible. The irons listed below can act as a great starting point on your journey to finding your next perfect set.
