Now that 2024 equipment is launching, here are 10 great deals on recent iron sets

With all the new clubs being released, there are some GREAT deals on recent models of irons including Callaway, Ping, Cobra, Srixon and more.

At the start of every year, major equipment companies release their new gear. Last week, we published a list of some of the best older-generation drivers to take advantage of great sales from sites like World Wide Golf Shops and PGA TOUR Superstore.

This time around, we’ve scoured the internet for the best deals on older-generation iron sets from brands like TaylorMade, Callaway, Cobra, Srixon, Mizuno and more.

Even though technology in golf equipment gets better every year, if the piece of gear is a year or two old, it still makes a great option for amateur golfers.

Check out the full list of iron sets below.

Srixon Q-Star Tour, Q-Star Tour Divide golf balls

Srixon modified the core, updated the dimple pattern and softened the cover of its Q-Star Tour balls.

Gear: Srixon Q-Star Tour, Q-Star Tour Divide golf balls
Price: $39.99 per dozen
Specs: Three-piece, urethane-covered ball with 74 compression. Available in white, yellow and two-color Divide versions in yellow-blue, yellow/red and yellow/orange.
Available: Jan. 11

Who They’re For: Moderate- and slower-swinging golfers who want distance off the tee and extra spin around the green.

The Skinny: By modifying the core, updating the dimple pattern to improve aerodynamics and softening the cover, Srixon’s updated Q-Star Tour ball aims to provide soft feel, solid distance and more spin around the greens for recreational golfers.

The Deep Dive: When a pro golfer like Brooks Koepka or Keegan Bradley hits a shot, it stays hit. These major winners generate elite levels of clubhead speed, and they strike tee shots and iron shots solidly almost every time. When it comes to a golf ball, they demand something that can handle their speed and maximize their skills.

Recreational golfers, however, don’t typically generate a clubhead speed of 120 mph, and the firm balls elite golfers gravitate to often feel too hard for players who shoot in the 80s, 90s, and 100s. Instead, weekend players want a soft-feeling ball that provides distance off the tee and spin around the greens, and with the fifth generation of the Q-Star Tour, that is what Srixon aims to deliver.

Srixon Q-Star Tour

Srixon has made three significant changes to the Q-Star Tour for 2024, starting with the core, which is gradational. The core, which Srixon calls a Fast Layer Core, transitions from soft in the center to firmer around the outside. This design allows the Q-Star Tour to behave like a multi-core ball and transfer energy from a moderate swing to the center more efficiently. 

The core is encased in a firm mantle layer, which in turn is encased by a soft, ultra-thin urethane cover. Srixon used a softer urethane in this generation of the Q-Star Tour, so the grooves in wedges and short irons should be able to grab it more effectively and generate more spin on greenside shots and on shots hit with scoring clubs.

To further enhance spin around the green, Srixon applies a unique coating called Spin Skin to each ball. It gives the Q-Star Tour a slightly rubbery feel and does not affect tee or iron shots. On shortgame and wedge shots, however, the coating amplifies the friction between the grooves and the urethane cover.

Finally, the cover has been designed with a new 338-dimple pattern that is more aerodynamic, produces less drag and encourages lift. That combination of high launch, less drag and more ball speed should result in more overall distance for recreational players.

In addition to traditional white and yellow, the Q-Star Tour is available in three Divide combinations. The Divide balls have yellow on one half of the ball and another color (red, orange or blue) on the other. The Divide design can be used as an alignment aid while putting and also shows how much spin the ball has on short-game shots. Many golfers also use Divide balls as training aids to hone their putting stroke.

What they’re saying: Equipment companies, PGA Tour and players react to the USGA, R&A golf ball rollback

“We feel like the rollback is simply disconnected from what golfers believe is best for the game.”

Early reports were confirmed on Wednesday morning by the United States Golf Association and the R&A that a golf ball rollback is just a few years away.

Starting in 2028, golf’s governing bodies will change how golf balls will be tested for conformity to reduce the effects of distance in the sport (to learn how balls are tested, click here). 

Nearly every golf ball being sold today – including the Titleist Pro V1, Callaway Chrome Soft, TaylorMade TP5, Bridgestone Tour B and Srixon Z-Star – would go too far and fail the new test. Balls that had previously been legal but failed the new test will be removed from the Conforming Ball list, making them illegal for official play starting Jan. 1, 2028.

The news produced quite a reaction from golf equipment companies, professional tours and their players. Here’s what they had to say about the USGA and R&A’s news of a golf ball rollback.

Best affordable golf balls for 2023

Golf balls that will help your improve your game, without costing as much as your entire round.

For many amateur golfers, it’s tough to justify spending $40, $50, $60 on a box of golf balls. Odds are you’re losing one of the first tee if you had no time to warm up anyway.

It’s important to buy a golf ball that performs well and isn’t going to break the bank.

That’s why we’ve put together a list of some of the best affordable golf balls on the market from brands like Titleist, TaylorMade, Srixon, Callaway and more.

The best balls on the market — Titleist ProV1, TaylorMade TP5, etc. — go for $50-plus a box. So, every deal we found for you is $35 and under.

Plus, check out some of our other recently released lists for those wanting to improve their score without breaking the bank: Best affordable putters for 2023, best affordable wedges for 2023 and best affordable drivers for 2023.

Best golf gloves for 2023

If you want to look like J.P. Prewitt, you’re going to need a great golf glove.

Golf gloves often go overlooked by amateur players, as they use them until they turn brown and crusty. Making sure that your glove is always in great condition will keep your hands in better shape, plus, it’ll feel a lot better, too. Always having a fresh one in your bag will ensure you’re never playing a round with a hole in your glove’s finger or palm.

We’ve compiled a list of some of our favorite golf gloves from brands like Titleist, FootJoy, Nike, TaylorMade, Callaway and more.
