TaylorMade P-790 irons redefine performance with a larger sweet spot, forged feel, and distance consistency, making every shot more precise. Each club boasts an individually treated, battle-worn finish, ensuring no two irons look the same.
The SIM2 Max irons bring game improvement to the next level with a Cap Back Design that maximizes forgiveness, feel, and distance. The intelligently placed sweet spot and Thru-Slot Speed Pocket ensure high ball speeds and outstanding consistency, even on common miss-hits.
TaylorMade Qi irons feature individually optimized heads, combining Cap Back Design, Speed Pocket, and organic face geometry for perfect gapping and consistent ball speeds. The innovative construction delivers the best qualities of both hollow-body and cavity-back irons.
The Callaway Big Bertha Golf Iron Set features Callaway's revolutionary 360 Face Cup Technology, which employs a flexible rim around the face to generate faster ball speeds and increased distance, even on off-center hits. The Suspended Energy Core, a pioneering construction, lowers the center of gravity, promoting higher launch and enhancing feel. With a wide sole design, these irons offer outstanding turf interaction and shot stability. Combined with high-density tungsten weighting for optimal balance and enhanced control, the Big Bertha irons cater to golfers of all skill levels.
The Big Berthas come at a great price point. Whenever people message me and ask for a good beginner iron set, I always point them in the direction of the Big Berthas. They are distance-heavy, and the forgiveness and low spin will help players hit the ball straight. They are built for average to below-average golfers. If you're a beginner not wanting to make an investment in your first iron set and just want to figure out if you like the game or not, these are for you.
