Irons
Players' irons, game-improvement sets and the direct-to-consumer disruptors — what actually fits your game.
Titleist T150 review: one degree stronger than the T100 at the same price, and the only Titleist iron in the LPGA bags we track
The 2025 T150 is a T100 with a 1mm-longer blade, a muscle channel through the 7-iron and every loft a degree stronger. Lottie Woad and Lydia Ko play it as a full set; no PGA Tour bag in our file does. Who it suits, and who should save the fitting.

Callaway X Forged review: the forged cavity back Ruoning Yin, Jeeno Thitikul and Minjee Lee use as scoring irons
Ruoning Yin's most recent published bag runs X Forged from the 7-iron down, under a hollow-body 5 and 6. Jeeno Thitikul and Minjee Lee also start it mid-set, with a different long iron above. That is the right way to buy it, too.

Srixon ZXi5 + ZXi7 combo set: the stock split is at the 7-iron, and 9 of the 10 ZXi7 tour bags we track switch sooner
Srixon now sells the blend its staff have played for two years as a single seven-club set. Its stock join sits at the 7-iron. Ryan Fox, Shane Lowry and four more tour bags switch at the 6, and three at the 5.

The supercar company's first golf club is a muscle-back made by metal injection moulding, sold by the head and backed by Justin Rose. Take the badge off and there is a serious iron underneath. It is still a blade.

Mizuno Pro M-15 review: the distance iron for people who don't want a distance iron
Mizuno's Modern Series finally makes a players' distance iron a good ball-striker will look at twice. The catch is where the extra yardage actually turns up.

TaylorMade Qi Max HL: the irons for golfers who've been told to swing faster for twenty years
High-launch irons get written about as a compromise for people who've lost something. That framing is wrong, and it's kept a lot of golfers playing clubs that don't work for them.

PING i240 review: forgiveness you can feel, feedback you can trust
A compact cavity-back that flatters mishits without numbing the good ones — the set most mid-handicaps should actually be playing.

Takomo 101 MKII review: the irons quietly embarrassing the big brands
Half the price of a name-brand set, and good enough that you'll feel a bit silly for not trying them sooner. The direct-to-consumer irons reviewed.
