But our data has the Honma Vx down as not only more than capable of competing with any forged iron (it was our longest fully-forged model by three yards from the Srixon Z785), it holds its own against fast-faced, hollow body models, too.

But, as your game improves and confidence grows, many golfers feel the need to announce their arrival with a set of irons worthy of a decent player. Why? Because better player irons tend to have a smaller head size, a smaller cavity, a heavier shaft and weaker loft – all leading to a club that is less forgiving to hit.Įven if you are good enough to use players’ irons, there’s nothing to say you have to. ► Wilson Launch Pad BEST PLAYERS’ IRONS 2020 Players’ irons: who are they for?īetter player irons are a thing of beauty that should only really be entertained by accomplished ball-strikers.
