We’ve heard about thin faces on your irons and looked at how the manufacturers have used the weight saves (from here and other parts) to make the clubs more forgiving and easier to use. We know how that has enabled manufacturers to design several different models, each being suited to a different golfer.

This led to another design innovation – blended sets. Actually this innovation was led by the best golfers in the world on the US PGA Tour. Some of the professionals, Fed Funk for instance, started mixing the sets in their bags. They would play with the club designed for the very best players from 5-iron down but would play with a 4 and 3-iron from another model (in the same manufacturer’s stable), one that offered just a little bit more assistance with a slightly lower and deeper center of gravity. Even the best golfers need help with their long irons.

Hence we now have sets from Titleist, Mizuno, Wilson and many of the other top manufacturers that have a Center of Gravity that changes through the set. Look at the example, below, of the Cobra 3400 I/XH irons that feature a transition design, which morphs from a hollow back (3-7 irons) to a cavity back design (8-LW irons).

The 8-Iron to Wedge is designed to provide you with maximum control. The 6 & 7-iron provides a slightly larger sweet zone but still allows you to work the ball easily. Finally the 3 through 5-iron is setup to get the ball airborne on a higher ball flight. It is harder to work the ball left and right than with a traditional blade but the best golfers find that a small sacrifice for added consistency.

And that has been the message in this series. Don’t be seduced by the promise of extra distance on your Irons. I don’t care at what level you play, make sure your new Irons will allow you to be more consistent through the set. It will improve your golf. Of course finding your way through this technology to get the best solution requires care. You have the benefit of a local PGA Club Professional to provide you with advice and guidance, you have the perfect environment to ‘see it fly before you buy’ and you know that your club will be fitted to make sure the shaft, swing weight, lie angles, length, lofts (and please don’t forget your grips) are going to work WITH your technology.
