Buyer’s guide for 2026 irons: The smart way to update your bag
by Jake Morrow, content manager for gear and new equipment
Buying a new set of irons can be tricky, in part because they aren’t on the same release cycle as metalwoods, with some companies waiting up to three years between new models. This increases the likelihood that you’ll forge a special bond with your irons and keep them around for a while.
Still, 2026 has some exciting new offerings worth your consideration, especially in the game-improvement category. TaylorMade and Callaway both have new in-line game improvement irons with Qi and Quantum, and Cobra has new King game-improvement irons. On the player’s side, Cobra has irons in its 3DP family, Mizuno has a new Modern Series, and Wilson refreshed its Staff Model line.
So, what type of player might benefit from a new set? In my mind, three primary groups:
1. Beginners or game-improvement players
2026 is a banner year if you’re in need of game-improvement irons. TaylorMade has released a new version of its bi-annual Qi Max irons, which are faster, more forgiving and higher-launching than ever, and Cobra has released new game-improvement irons under their King branding; those irons feature a 3DP medallion for weight savings and acoustic improvements that helps blend worlds of technology among its high-end 3DP offerings and more value-oriented King game-improvement models.
For beginners and other players who may need forgiveness, ease of launch and speed that comes from an iron in this category, there’s lots to choose from. Truth is, in this category, it’s okay to pick based on what you think looks the best, because there isn’t a big difference in feel and sound among the offerings, and the models all are built to generate speed and hit the ball nice and high. I’m actually a bit jealous of this category; I’d love to pick my clubs based on looks.
2. Solid ball-strikers who are losing speed
This is a category that I think is really booming at the moment: better players who are either aging or losing speed for any other reason have more options than ever to help generate a speed boost — in a slick visual package. My top option for this category is the Cobra 3DP Tours, but if you aren’t looking to spend $300+ per stick, the new Wilson XB has been a stunning surprise across the industry’s gear media. These are wonderful options for players who need help generating some speed but are still looking for something that looks great at address behind the ball.
3. Players who can’t stand to part with their 2012 faithfuls
I get it. Irons can get personal. Once you find the groove with your perfect set, it’s hard to let go. But we need to have a serious conversation about performance degradation. Iron development has come a long way. There are new categories, there’s performance being left on the table, and, honestly, the new stuff just looks better, too. The cavity back (CB) category is booming and better than ever. Golfers (including Rory McIlroy!) increasingly are leaving the muscle back (MB) category and looking for forgiveness. Regardless, if you’re a better player stuck playing a set of irons that’s older than five years, I’d strongly encourage you to go try some new offerings. You’ll be shocked at how much forgiveness you may be giving up.

BRIDGESTONE IRONS
Whenever a new set of forged irons emerges from a Japanese foundry, we take notice — especially when they come from a renowned brand like Bridgestone Golf. The all-new 220 MB, 221 CB and 222 CB+ irons confirm that Bridgestone is still betting big on the premium forged iron category. “We’re taking a scaled approach to clubs, focusing on premium irons and wedges with a heavy emphasis on fitting and customization,” Bridgestone Golf president Dan Murphy said in a release.

CALLAWAY IRONS
Callaway’s new Quantum line of game-improvement irons has everything golfers are looking for but without the frills of a design built for better players. The tech built into the clubs — plus a new cavity-back look — offers a friendly invitation to their target player. The cavity back gets away from the hollow-bodied look of the Elyte and Apex Ai lines. The new Quantum Max, Max OS and Max Fast irons are meant to look inviting. But that’s not all from Callaway in this cycle; there’s also the new X Forged and X Forged Max irons, the new Apex Ai150, as well as more speed, forgiveness and visual appeal added to the Ti Fusion lineup.
READ OUR FULL REVIEW OF CALLAWAY QUANTUM IRONS
Callaway Quantum Max
THE BASICS: A cleaner, less bulky game-improvement iron that still offers an inviting look both from the back and address, thanks to the larger topline. The Max iron is going to offer more forgiveness than a player’s distance iron, but still plenty of speed for the player looking to advance their game and hit more greens. Ideal for players looking for forgiveness and high ball speeds with their irons. | Read full review here.
Callaway Quantum Max OS
THE BASICS: The super game improvement iron with a larger shape than the standard Max iron. Gives golfers the largest sweet spot and the most forgiveness. Best for beginner golfers who need as much help as they can getting the ball airborne. | Read full review here.
Callaway Quantum Max Fast
THE BASICS: The Max Fast features a similar oversized shape to the Max OS, but in a lighter package to help players generate speed. A good fit for slower golfers who need a lighter package to generate speed and launch. | Read full review here.
Callaway X Forged*
Callaway 2025 X Forged Custom Irons
Pure Precision, Forged for Better Players
Crafted from a single piece of 1020 Carbon steel, X Forged Irons deliver the crisp sound and soft feel that discerning players demand—precision-engineered for professionals and elite ball strikers.
Clean Looks, Tour-Preferred Shape
X Forged features a streamlined cavity back, compact profile, minimal offset, and a thin topline—crafted to appeal to the eye of the better player.
Tri-Level Sole Design
X Forged Irons feature a tri-level sole with beveled leading and trailing edges, promoting smooth turf interaction and precise ball control through impact.
View Product
THE BASICS: Callaway’s X Forged is for players who want no-frills, single-piece construction that the X Forged name has been known for over the better part of the last two decades. “It’s about craftsmanship, it’s about shaping,” said Callaway senior product manager Zack Oakley. “You’re going to notice it’s a little bit longer blade length. There’s more mass centered behind the ball to really help with the feel portion of it. The overall sort of the sole design is different, so it’s going to have a little bit more of an aggressive tri-sole with a leading edge chamfer and a trailing edge relief section, so it’s really about getting in and out of the turf. And a lot of this is in search of feel.” | Read full review here.
Callaway X Forged Max*
Callaway 2025 X Forged Max Custom Irons
Forged Precision, Pure Feel
Crafted from a single piece of 1020 Carbon steel, X Forged Max Irons deliver the soft feel and crisp sound preferred by better players—along with a mid-compact profile that blends workability, feedback, and just the right amount of forgiveness.
Clean Looks, Mid-Compact Shape
X Forged Max features a more player-friendly cavity back and offset, mid-compact profile, and a refined topline—crafted to appeal to the eye of the better player looking for workability and forgiveness.
Tri-Level Sole Design
X Forged Max Irons feature a tri-level sole with beveled leading and trailing edge, promoting smooth turf interaction and precise ball control through impact.
View Product
THE BASICS: The X Forged Max is unlike any other iron ever released under the X Forged name, as Callaway has taken the X Forged, made it larger to inspire more confidence, widened the sole and improved the perimeter weighting with two large pockets of mass carved into the back bar. “We know there are a lot of players that would like to get into kind of this single-piece, pure feel category,” Oakley said. “There’s not a lot of options out there. So, we now have an iron for that mid single-digit handicap in the X Forged Max. Obviously, I think when you look at a lot of the irons that are out in this type of construction and platform, there are definitely kind of targeted more towards that better player, the scratch golfer even. But the X Forged Max is going to be a little bit easier to hit.” | Read full review here.
Callaway Apex Ai150*
Callaway Apex Ai150 Custom Irons
Precision Has Reached A New Apex
Apex Ai150 continues the legacy of the Apex Ai200 and Ai300, emphasizing elevated look and feel, distance, and superior spin consistency.
Premium Look and Feel
Blending premium materials and modern shaping, this 1025 forged hollow-body design features a 455 face cup (3i–7i) and 17-4 face (8i-W) for improved ball speed and feel throughout.
Player’s Precision and Control
Designed for the more advanced golfer, the Ai 150 offers enhanced distance control via the new Ai10x Face technology, a player’s preferred shape and loft package.
View Product
THE BASICS: Callaway’s replacement for its popular Apex Pro players distance iron comes in the form of the new Apex Ai150. The new Apex Ai150 iron builds off the release of Callaway’s fully forged Apex Ai200 and Ai300, but the profile was actually created from the Apex TCB Tour iron as opposed to shrinking the larger models. Not only will the Ai150 excel in full sets, but also combo-ing with the rest of the Apex line like TCB or Ai200 will be very useful for players as combo sets become more of the norm than the exception these days. | Read full review here.
Callaway Ti Fusion*
THE BASICS: These player performance irons are engineered with a titanium face and a forged hollow-body construction. Leveraging the superiority of titanium, Callaway provided a face with unbelievable ball speed characteristics. The titanium component — the same material used in driver faces — produces a larger sweet spot in the irons. | Read full review here.
Callaway Ti Fusion 250*
Callaway Apex Ti Fusion 250 Plated Custom Irons
All-New Chrome Plated Finish
The Apex Ti Fusion 250 showcases a breakthrough in materials engineering—a proprietary Callaway process that makes chrome plating on titanium possible. This exclusive finish delivers a bold, timeless look that sets a new standard in premium design.
Built for Confidence and Forgiveness
Apex Ti Fusion 250 offers a larger footprint than the original, with a thicker topline, added offset, and extended blade length. The result? A more confidence-inspiring look at address and greater forgiveness when you don’t catch it pure.
Superior Materials, Unmatched Performance
Titanium is an advanced material that provides unmatched iron performance. Our industry-leading brazed titanium construction capitalizes on the power of a titanium face combined with the exceptional forged feel of steel. No other iron combines these performance materials into one iron like we have in the Apex Ti Fusion family.
Unimaginable Feel
Apex Ti Fusion 250 utilizes a combination of advanced materials to achieve an unimaginable feel. The titanium face allows for more deflection and interaction with our patented urethane microspheres. This interaction coupled with a forged, steel body provides a unique feel that is typically only found in single-piece forged irons, now available in a larger, confidence inspiring distance iron.
Incredibly Consistent Ball Speed, Spin, Dispersion, and Forgiveness
The titanium Ai Smart Face yields incredibly consistent ball speed, spin, and dispersion. The result is the performance of a 2-piece iron with loads of forgiveness and the consistency of a muscleback.
View Product
THE BASICS: The Apex Ti Fusion 250 is the newest member of the lineup, built for the player who values a forged feel and consistent results but knows they could use a little help along the way. This is for the golfer who embraces technology, wants more speed and forgiveness and doesn’t expect perfection on every swing. Visually, it’s more confidence-inspiring at address, especially for players who benefit from a bit of added forgiveness in the long and mid irons. | Read full review here.
COBRA IRONS
Joining its 3DP Tour irons, Cobra’s first commercially available 3D-printed irons in the game, Cobra announced its new 3DP MB and 3DP X irons, adding two new shapes created from the 3D-printing technology. Both of the new irons feature the same internal lattice structure as the 3DP Tour irons, which are in the bags of several Cobra Tour staffers. Cobra’s latest sets of game improvement irons, the new King and King Max, also feature a 3D-printed medallion to help optimize weight position in each head.
READ OUR FULL REVIEW OF COBRA KING IRONS
Cobra 3DP MB
Cobra 3DP MB Custom Irons
The 3DP MB iron combines the looks and feel of a traditional forged muscle back with the forgiveness of a cavity back iron. The most forgiving blade on the market, the MB has captivated Tour players by checking all the boxes and exceeding expectations with its exceptional stability and feel.
FORGIVING MUSCLE BACK BLADE SHAPE
A slightly revised shape from the KING MB inspired by feedback from PGA Tour player Max Homa, the MB features a thinned topline and enhanced offset. The internal 3D printed lattice and heel, toe and hosel tungsten increases MOI for stability, and positions the CG perfectly centered and lower than the KING MB to promote higher launch.
EXTREME FORGIVENESS MEETS SOFT FEEL
The 3D printed internal lattice structure not only optimizes weight savings, but also provides the stiffness and strength to support the face and fine-tune the acoustics of each iron to produce the most appealing impact sound and feel.
TUNGSTEN WEIGHTING
The discretionary weight savings from the 3D printed lattice allowed for up to 55g of tungsten to be positioned low in the heel, toe and hosel resulting in the perfect blend of a compact blade shape with a low CG and high MOI that mirrors a game improvement iron.
View Product
THE BASICS: The 3DP MB irons are 3D-printed with an internal lattice core and tungsten weighting to boost heel-toe stability and increase MOI. The 3DP MBs have a slightly thinner topline and a touch more offset than the King MB. Because of the tungsten weighting, 3DP MBs have a lower CG than typical blades and launch higher. It will also be a touch faster, but consistent on mishits. With a traditional loft package and compact profile, this iron has a huge playability range given its forgiveness. This iron could be used by any player with speed who isn’t afraid of a compact shape and wants to retain maximum workability. You will see this iron on the PGA Tour and potentially in your 10-handicap buddy’s bag. | Read full review here.
Cobra 3DP Tour*
Cobra 3DP Tour Custom Irons
The KING 3D Printed TOUR irons utilize 3D printing technology to unlock a new realm of performance. Their one of a kind design features the most forgiving blade shape on the market, delivering the forgiveness that aspirational players need, and the sleek looks and soft feel that better players desire.
3D PRINTED STEEL CONSTRUCTION
Each iron is fully 3D printed from 316 stainless steel. 3D printing provides significant advantages over traditional methods of casting and forging, unlocking more design freedom and significant performance improvements.
FORGIVING PLAYERS BLADE SHAPE
3D printing has unlocked new design possibilities, enabling COBRA engineers to create a compact blade shape with the mass properties (high MOI, low CG) of a game improvement iron without sacrificing looks and soft feel that better players demand.
INTERNAL LATTICE STRUCTURE
COBRA took a muscle-back blade shape (similar in size and shape to the KING TOUR iron), and transformed the inside of the blade into a complex internal lattice structure to reduce the weight of the club by 33%. That discretionary weight was repositioned to optimize feel, CG position, and MOI.
View Product
THE BASICS: Cobra’s initial 3DP offering takes a player’s distance shape — the King Tour specifically — and supercharges it with tungsten weighting and the internal lattice. The 3DP Tour can be played by better players or game-improvement players alike, but typically falls into the player’s distance category with slightly stronger lofts and a more compact footprint. This could also serve as a long-iron swap in a combo set of MBs or short-iron swap in a combo set with the Xs. | Read full review here.
Cobra 3DP X
Cobra 3DP X Custom Irons
Super game improvement performance in a sleek players-inspired shape with exceptional feel that sets it apart from the rest. The 3DP X model is designed to encompass more than meets the eye, delivering incredible forgiveness in a sleek package that gives confidence to any golfer to play their best and look the part.
FORGIVING PLAYERS GAME IMPROVEMENT SHAPE
The X takes a base shape that sits between DS-ADAPT and KING TEC-X and utilizes an internal 3D printed lattice structure to create an iron engineered at the highest level to deliver as much forgiveness as possible with the purest feel.
EXTREME FORGIVENESS MEETS SOFT FEEL
The 3D printed internal lattice structure not only optimizes weight savings, but also provides the stiffness and strength to support the face and fine-tune the acoustics of each iron to produce the most appealing impact sound and feel.
TUNGSTEN WEIGHTING
The discretionary weight savings from the 3D printed lattice allows up 55g of tungsten to be positioned in the toe and hosel to achieve an MOI that produces forgiveness equivalent to a larger, super game improvement iron in a traditional iron shape.
View Product
THE BASICS: The 3DP X iron is going to be one of the most forgiving game-improvement irons on the market. Thanks to the 3D-printed lattice and large tungsten weights in the toe and hosel, it’s going to retain spin too. The X comes from the same profile as the King Tec X, with slightly weakened lofts to achieve higher peak heights and increased stopping power. The 3DP X is going to serve the game-improvement player as an ultraforgiveness model that still retains speed. | Read full review here.
Cobra King
THE BASICS: A classic, cavity-back game improvement iron with an ultra-low CG for higher launch. Best for players seeking maximum speed with a little boost in launch for a steeper descent angle. | Read full review here.
Cobra King Max
THE BASICS: A larger cavity-back, super-game improvement iron with more offset and higher lofts to give players maximum launch. Ideal for players who need maximum forgiveness and launch and fight a slice. | Read full review here.
MIURA IRONS
Miura’s newest offering is the TC-202 iron line, an evolution of the successes of the 201 with a blend of old-school craftsmanship and pinpoint technology. The TC-201 irons (the “TC” stands for Tour Cavity) came from the pursuit of making irons with muscle back-like performance but added forgiveness-like cavity backs. The result is an iron with slightly larger dimensions than Miura’s MB-101 blades, but with a shallow cavity and progressive weighting throughout the set. That opens the door for far more players to enjoy the benefits of a fully forged iron.

Miura IC-602*
Miura IC-602 Custom Irons
Introducing the Miura IC-602 Iron: Precision meets Performance. Crafted by Shinei Miura, this 2024 model sets a new standard in golf club design, delivering exceptional distance and forgiveness. With its premium S35C Carbon Steel face ensuring unmatched responsiveness and the body’s combination of 8620 Soft Steel and strategically placed tungsten weights for optimized launch angles, every swing is precision-engineered for success.
The Miura Versatile Sole (MVS) ensures solid contact with unparalleled turf interaction, allowing golfers to feel the club head release and deliver maximum compression to the ball, regardless of swing path or attack angle.
View Product
THE BASICS: For the first time in their history, Miura are bringing the classic Miura feel to more golfers with the introduction of the IC-602 hollow-body iron. The new IC-602 brings together Miura’s desire to create stunning irons that provide valuable feedback with modern manufacturing techniques to offer more golfers the ability to experience Miura irons while delivering confidence into their iron game. Also, with the help of stronger lofts matched with a thinner and more flexible face construction, the IC-602s will help to deliver more ball speed, resulting in more distance. | Read full review here.
Miura TC-202*
THE BASICS: With the new TC-202s, Miura refines on the successes of the 201 and adds in other technology from popular Miura irons. The new T-Weight Bar in the back cavity combines the heel-toe weighting that made the TC-201 so forgiving with the center mass distribution found in the CB 57. By placing the mass right behind the sweet spot, the T-Weight Bar helps optimize both trajectory control and the sound and feel of the TC-202. The TC-202s also feature progressive shaping from the long, mid and short irons. | Read full review here.
MIZUNO IRONS
The M-13 has the new Triple Cut Sole that Mizuno first used in the Pro S-3 and JPX 925 Forged irons, which features a sharp leading edge and trailing edge bevel to enter and exit the turf with high bounce and prevent from digging or dragging. Both the M-13 and M-15 feature identical offset measurements, making the two sets easy to mix and match for combo sets. With just .122″ of offset in the 7-iron, the M-15 irons will have among the least offset in their class.

Mizuno Pro S-1*
Mizuno Pro S-1 Custom Irons
Legacy Reborn
The Mizuno Pro S-1 irons are pure muscle backs, designed for players who demand ultimate precision and workability.
Copper Underlay
The inclusion of a copper underlay further optimizes this experience, subtly refining vibration patterns to produce the purest, most satisfying feedback.
Channel Back Design
Redistributes mass for greater vertical stability and a more consistent center of gravity.
Further Optimized Grain Flow Forged HD
This advanced forging process creates a tighter grain structure, delivering the brand’s legendary buttery-soft feel through impact, while enhancing feedback and consistency across the set.
Tour-Tested and Confirmed Sole Geometry
The S-1 sole has been carefully refined through tour input, featuring a flatter camber profile, sharpened leading edge, and increased bounce angle. This design ensures smoother turf interaction—particularly beneficial for shallower swings.
View Product
THE BASICS: Like the S-3, the S-1s are forged from a single piece of 1025E Pure Select Mild Carbon Steel using Mizuno’s patented Grain Flow Forged HD process and feature a soft copper underlay for feel. The most defining feature of the S-1 is the new channel back design that Voshall says helped designers optimize the iron’s CG placement throughout the set. | Read full review here.
Mizuno Pro S-3*
Mizuno Pro S-3 Custom Irons
The Mizuno Pro S-3 irons epitomize refined craftsmanship and elite performance, combining Mizuno’s renowned forging expertise with the precision and versatility demanded by today’s golfers. With a sleek, compact profile and an exceptional feel, the Pro S-3 is the ultimate choice for players seeking precision and control in every shot.
Iconic Mizuno Pro FeelThe Mizuno Pro S-3 delivers the signature feel that has solidified Mizuno’s reputation. This exceptional sensation stems from the advanced Grain Flow Forged HD process, performed exclusively at Mizuno’s Hiroshima plant, and is enhanced by premium materials:
1025E Pure Select Mild Carbon Steel: Provides a soft, responsive touch that golfers love.
Copper Underlay: Subtly enhances vibration patterns, ensuring a smoother, more connected feel with every strike.
View Product
THE BASICS: The Pro S-3 incorporates Mizuno’s Triple Cut Sole to enhance turf interaction by slightly beveling the leading edge and hard-cutting the trailing edge to make for a quick and clean exit. “The Mizuno Pro S-3 irons embody the heritage of why so many professionals and accomplished players have fallen in love with Mizuno,” said Mizuno’s head of product, Chris Voshall. “Designed with only two objectives, feel and control, the Mizuno Pro S-3 will raise the bar for those demanding the ultimate in precision and feedback.” | Read full review here.
Mizuno Pro M-13
Mizuno Pro M-13 Custom Irons
The Mizuno Pro M-13 and M-15, part of the all-new Modern Series. Sitting alongside the existing Signature Series (S-1 and S-3), the Modern Series represents a fresh evolution in forged performance. Engineered for players seeking a bit more speed, forgiveness, and playability, while maintaining the unmistakable Mizuno Pro shaping and feel.
The Modern Series debuts with two distinct models, each designed for a specific type of ball striker. The M-13 features tour-preferred proportions and a faster, more consistent flight profile, while the M-15 delivers higher launch and additional forgiveness that blends smoothly through the set. Both retain the craftsmanship and forged heritage that define every Mizuno Pro iron.
View Product
THE BASICS: The M-13 is the replacement for Mizuno’s 243 iron, which the company calls its “Speed cavity.” The Pro M-13 offers similar shaping to what is found in Mizuno’s tour irons like the Pro S-3, but with a tech edge and stronger lofts to give it a little bit of distance boost. The M-13 is for the player who doesn’t quite have the precision or consistency to wield a single-piece forging like the Pro S-3, or perhaps a great ball striker who would like to regain some lost speed. The irons will have a wide range of handicap users and could make it into the bags of elite players as a long iron replacement. | Read full review here.
Mizuno Pro M-15
Mizuno Pro M-15 Custom Irons

View Product
THE BASICS: The M-15 is Mizuno’s hollow-bodied players’ distance iron option and they fall on the more compact side of the category with identical offset to the M-13s. Also like M-13, M-15 features three different constructions with Grain Flow Forged Chromoly in the 4-8-irons and GFF 1025E carbon steel in the 9-GW. For players looking to jump into the players distance category for the first time, M-15 is a great option, as well as those seeking extra distance from the most compact package possible. M-15 will also get a lot of play as a 4-5-iron replacement in better players’ bags. | Read full review here.
Mizuno JPX 925 Hot Metal Custom Irons

The sound bar in the back cavity did a nice job keeping the sound within a range I deemed to be pleasing. It’s not muted, but it’s definitely not loud.

PING IRONS
When it comes to a game-improvement iron, distance is a given, and most models in this category excel at delivering it. But with the G440, Ping took a new approach, ensuring that, in addition to added distance, these irons also are easier to control. “In this category, we continue to emphasize the importance of consistency and stopping power when determining the iron that best fits a golfer,” said John K. Solheim, Ping CEO and president. “We know they want distance, but distance without control doesn’t lead to lower scores. Through multiple advancements, the G440 represents the most versatile iron in our line and will fit the games of a lot of golfers.”

Ping i240*
PING i240 Custom Irons
The Tour-inspired i240 advances our popular Players technology, providing added forgiveness along with the control, look and feel that will appeal to a wide range of skill levels. It’s PING’s highest-launching Players model, giving golfers more control and the ability to consistently hit their distance numbers and stop the ball close to the hole.
A new ABS badge in the true cavity-back design is 8.5g lighter, and combined with an elastomer insert allows for more perimeter weighting to increase the MOI in the mid and long irons. This helps achieve an 11% reduction in dispersion. The badge and insert contribute to a more desirable sound and a softer, responsive feel from the 431 stainless steel cast head.
View Product
THE BASICS: If you’ve been playing the i210 or i230, this is the natural evolution in your Ping journey, and a major upgrade. Whether you’re a single-digit handicapper or a consistent ball striker looking for a little more help and a lot more consistency, the i240 should be on your radar. | Read full review here.
Ping G440*
PING G440 Custom Irons
The G440 iron is a distance-driven design that best fits golfers in need of game-improvement technology who prefer the influence of a players-style shape. Increased ball speed comes from the thinner face and the low/back CG location – resulting in higher- launching, longer-carrying shots with stopping power.
FAST AND FORGIVING
Thinner face flexes for more ball speed, saves weight to increase MOI.
LOW CG SYSTEM
Shorter face lowers CG for more ball speed, higher launch.
PLAYERS INSPIRED
Shallow face height and shorter blade height.
PREMIUM PERFORMANCE
Four-piece, chrome-plated cavity badge increases flexing, damps vibration.
View Product
THE BASICS: For 2025, Ping might have transmuted lead into gold (figuratively, of course) with its all-new G440 iron — the brand’s latest take on a game-improvement iron that looks and feels nothing like one. When it comes to a game-improvement iron, distance is a given, and most models in this category excel at delivering it. But with the G440, Ping took a new approach, ensuring that, in addition to added distance, these irons also are easier to control. Distance and control are achieved via a low-profile head shape for a lowered CG, combined with a thinner clubface for shots that fly higher and generate more spin on the greens. The PurFlex cavity badge also aids in producing more distance by expanding and contracting through impact, while enhancing the overall sound and feel. | Read full review here.

TAYLORMADE IRONS
Because game-improvement irons use an asymmetrical design, with the toe section being much larger than the heel section, the material by the toe is softer and flexes more during impact. That flex allows the club to open more, which imparts the cut spin on the ball, magnifying the game-improvement player’s worst miss. What TaylorMade has done with the Qi Max irons is uniquely optimize each face to make the toe side stiffer and the heel slightly softer, preventing it from flexing open. “We’ve designed both Qi Max and Qi Max HL irons to be the most complete game improvement irons we’ve ever made,” said Matt Bovee, TaylorMade’s product category director for wedges and irons. “From individual face optimization to revolutionary internal structures, Qi Max and Qi Max HL irons check all the boxes in the game improvement category.”
READ OUR FULL REVIEW OF TAYLORMADE Qi MAX IRONS
TaylorMade Qi Max
TaylorMade Qi Max Custom Irons
SUPERIOR FEEL AND SOUND
What the golfers perceive as feel is largely the result of the sound the club makes at impact. The two areas most responsible for sound and feel are the top line and the face. In the Qi MAX, a new internal stability bar and ECHO® Damper material have been strategically positioned to support these areas, reduce vibrations, and deliver premium feel in a game improvement iron.
STRAIGHT DISTANCE
Proven TaylorMade patented face technology controls face flexibility to reduce “cut” spin that can result from fast face iron designs, allowing golfers to experience straighter shots throughout the entire set.
INDIVIDUAL HEAD OPTIMIZATION
Each head has been designed to deliver specific performance for that individual iron. Starting with a foundation of maximum distance and forgiveness, the face design is tailored to deliver the launch and spin needed for straight, consistent shots with each iron.
OPTIMIZED BALL FLIGHT
FLTD CG™ strategically places the CG lowest in the long irons and higher as the set progresses. The design produces enhanced launch and playability in the long irons and precision and control in the scoring clubs.
REFINED PLAYERS SHAPE
Refined shaping reflects internal tech features to create an aspirational players look. Shaping includes a confidence-inspiring thinner top line and blade length that blend seamlessly with a reduced offset hosel.
View Product
THE BASICS: The Qi Max irons have been slimmed down from the previous generation and styled to look a lot more like the P-Series irons with a monochrome finish. Also coming from the P-Series, Qi Max irons have FLTD CG, lowering the CG in the long irons to boost launch and raising it in the short irons to keep shots from ballooning. Best suited for a player who needs game-improvement levels of forgiveness but doesn’t want to play a huge iron. Also great for players who struggle with a right miss. | Read full review here.

TaylorMade P790*
TaylorMade P790 Custom Irons
REVOLUTIONARY FORGED FEEL
More Speed, More Consistency
Increased Distance with Improved Gapping
FLTD CG™ – Shaped for Elegant Performance
FEATURES
Enhanced Feel & FeedbackSubstantially improved feel was a key focus when designing the 2025 P·790. Individual head optimization and advanced modal analysis, combined with SpeedFoam™ Air, deliver best-in-class forged feel with an explosive sensation at impact.
Faster Face, Greater SpeedThe 2025 P·790 introduces an all-new ultra-high-strength, high-speed forged face material (4340M), which is 20% stronger than previous generations. This increased strength enables a thinner face, faster ball speeds, and a sweet spot up to 24% larger.*
*Comparison vs. 2023 P·790 7 iron.
Optimized CG for Precision & DistanceA faster 4340M face, individual head optimization, and FLTD CG™ technology precisely position the center of gravity (CG), delivering increased carry distances with ideal launch and spin for improved gapping throughout the set.
In 2025, the long irons feature an even lower CG for enhanced launch and playability, while the scoring clubs have a higher CG to improve spin rates and control. FLTD CG™ strategically shifts the center of gravity from low in the long irons to progressively higher in the short irons for optimal performance.
Refined Aesthetics & Turf InteractionThe all-new P·790 boasts a thinner topline for a cleaner look at address and an increased sole radius with a progressive leading edge. This design enhances turf interaction and promotes more consistent impact locations.
View Product
THE BASICS: Using a new 4340M forged face material, which TaylorMade says is 20 percent stronger, TaylorMade engineers made the face of the new P790 thinner, allowing for faster ball speeds. Compared to the previous generation P790, the sweet spot has been increased by 24 percent, TaylorMade says, to give golfers a more consistent distance. | Read full review here.

View Product
THE BASICS: TaylorMade’s P770 is the slimmed-down little brother to the popular P790 and has always been a popular choice for golfers — even if it never quite escaped P790’s shadow. However, things are changing in a big way with the third iteration of P770. To get P770 out of the P790 shadow, designers removed the high-polish finish and went with a consistent brushed finish throughout. The topline was thinned out to differentiate it even more from P790. | Read full review here.

View Product
THE BASICS: Go through TaylorMade’s notes on P7CB and you’ll notice each 1025 carbon steel head goes through a five-step forging process that includes taking on 2,000 tons of pressure to produce a controlled microstructure. This is a fancy way of saying the irons look, sound and feel like a better-player cavity-back iron. While a lot is going on underneath the P7CB hood, TaylorMade’s latest better-player offering isn’t another P770 or P790. It’s geared for 5-handicaps and better who want something different in the compact head category. | Read full review here.
TITLEIST IRONS
Three of the four models (T100, T150 and T350) all return to Titleist’s fourth-generation T-Series lineup, while the new T250 replaces the T200 model as the players’ distance option in the family. But Titleist is also introducing a new model, the T250 Launch Spec, for players who need the speed of the T250 but more loft to get the ball airborne. “There really were three clear design objectives for this next generation of T-Series,” said Marni Ines, Titleist’s director of iron development. “We wanted to increase our long iron launch, tighten our mid- and short-iron spin consistency and improve overall carry distance consistency throughout the bag. Irons are made to hit very specific distances within a specific flight window, and so we’re always trying to make that more repeatable for every iron in your bag.”
