ClubTest 2010: Find the Best Irons for You

In this installment of ClubTest 2010, we break down the pros and cons of 30 sets of irons, listed at right. We recruited 40 Average Joes to field test the irons at PGA National Resort and Spa in Palm Beach Gardens, Fla.

We divide irons into three categories: "Better-player" (tested by 2-11 handicappers), "Game-improvement" (7-15) and "Max Game-improvement" (13-21). Testers provide feedback for Look, Feel, Playability, Forgiveness and Distance. Click on the links at right to learn more about the clubs.

Our exclusive research partner, Hot Stix Golf, custom-fit all 40 testers. Hot Stix fitters used the TrackMan launch monitor to capture data for the testers' current irons. (All test irons also went through a diagnostic evaluation.) Fitters used the data to recommend a match between testers and test clubs.
