Golf Irons & Sets

Golf irons are the precision instruments of your bag. They’re responsible for everything from that daunting 200-yard approach over water to the delicate bump and run around the green.

At Austad's, we specialize in finding the best golf irons—whether it's a game-improvement cavity back or a forged player's blade—for your specific wing speed and launch profile.

Master the fairway with big-name golf iron sets

We carry a deep inventory of men's and women's irons from Titleist, PING, TaylorMade, Callaway, and Mizuno.

  • Blade & forged irons: For the golfer who wants to really feel the ball, these irons offer a thinner profile and unmatched feedback. They can be unforgiving if you have a higher handicap.
  • Game improvement irons: Maximum assistance on off-center hits thanks to bigger club heads. These are built to launch high and fly straight, even when you don't quite find the sweet spot.
  • Cavity back irons: Somewhere in the middle of the two clubs above. They have a smaller profile akin to blade designs but still offer some of the benefits of chunkier game improvement irons.

Austad's pro tip: "Most players are playing irons that are 'too flat' or 'too upright’. If the toe of your iron hits the ground first at impact, the face will open, and the ball will leak right every time. A 15-minute lie-angle check can correct a 'slice' that you've been trying to swing-fix for years."

— Jared Greenfield, VP of Merchandising

Golf iron buying guide

  • Match your irons to your game: You may find you require more technological assistance for longer irons, but prefer a stripped-back design for shorter options to get better feel on approach shots. Chat to us about a custom-fit approach if you think it'll benefit your game.
  • The gapping challenge: Modern sets are increasingly manufactured with this onsistency in mind, so you can play with confidence that all distances are covered. As golf iron technology advances, a new 7-iron might go as far as your old 5-iron. So an iron fitting will ensure you don't end up with a bag that makes some shots unplayable if you're only buying one or two new irons.
  • Don't forget the shaft: Shafts vary a lot by weight and flex, so you're unlikely to over all the bases if you only try one or two irons before you buy. Our Master Fitters will explain all the options available and help find the best golf irons for you and your swing.

A golf iron set will likely be the biggest investment in your bag. With so many options, finding one that matches your swing and style can be tricky. But removing the guesswork is simple. Come to Austad's for a custom club fitting, and our Master Fitters will tell you exactly which irons best suit you.

Golf iron FAQs

What are the most forgiving golf irons?

Cavity back irons, like the PING
G730
or TaylorMade QI, are renowned for boosting consistency. Larger sweet spots make the club easier to strike, while lower centers of gravity optimize loft and give you better stopping power on the greens.

How do you size and fit golf irons?

An iron fitting starts with static measurements (height and wrist-to-floor distance) before dynamic sessions where we look at your swing pattern and launch monitor data to determine the perfect head, grip, lie angle, and shaft weight and flex. Opting against the data-driven approach means you're relying purely on feel.

How long do golf irons last?

A well-maintained golf iron set should last around a decade if you play regularly—and onger if you only get out a few times a year. The primary indicator of an iron that needs to be replaced is groove wear. If the aces look smoothed or scratched, you risk losing the spin and control necessary to hold greens.

How do I polish and clean golf irons?

Clean grooves are essential for spin and control, so knock off dirt that they pick up during a round. When you get back home, clean them using warm water, mild dish soap, and a soft-bristled brush, before drying with a clean towel to avoid the risk of rust. To keep them looking pro-shop fresh, a light application of non-abrasive metal polish can remove minor scuffs from the chrome or satin finish.
