Best Irons & Wedges 2026

Your scoring clubs, sorted.

The clubs that actually shoot your scores: irons and wedges. We've picked the players' iron that blends blade feel with real forgiveness, the direct-to-consumer set that won a major value test for half the price of the big brands, plus the two wedges the short-game obsessives are fitting into the bag — the first fully-forged Milled Grind and the tour's most-played Vokey, refreshed. Get fitted for lofts and grinds; this is where strokes hide.

  1. 01

    PING i240 Irons

    PING

    A compact players' iron that mixes blade-like feel and workability with more forgiveness and launch than blade-leaning rivals.

  2. A forgiving, distance-oriented game-improvement iron sold direct-to-consumer at roughly half the price of established-brand equivalents.

  3. 03

    TaylorMade MG5 Wedge

    TaylorMade

    A premium, fully-forged tour wedge with aggressive new grooves and a moisture-channelling RAW face, in six grinds for most players.

  4. The latest generation of Titleist's tour-standard Vokey wedge, with the widest grind/loft/bounce matrix in the game for dialled-in fitting.
