Top Ten: Beginners Iron Sets

Written on Wednesday, 26 October 2011

No matter how old you are before playing for the first time, it’s never too late to get into golf. Of course, you don’t want to spend lots on a professional set of clubs if you don’t know how you will take to the game. Fortunately there is a wide variety of sets for beginners, so you don’t need to resort to borrowing to improve your swing.

You are likely to need a larger clubface that offers high forgiveness, helping you to achieve straight shots. With that in mind, here are our Top Ten beginner’s iron sets, ideal for easing yourself into the game.



Number one Wilson_CGI_Golf_Set Wilson CGI Golf Set  Providing a mixed bag rather than relying solely on irons, the Wilson CGI set has everything a beginner needs to kick-start their golfing hobby. The set includes a #5 SW Iron, as well as a 21° Hybrid, which offers the best of both woods and irons for maximum accuracy. All clubs included are designed for those with a higher handicap, making it an ideal starter kit.
Number two Yonex_Nanospeed_i_6_Piece_Iron_Set Yonex Nanospeed 3i Iron Set  A generous collection of irons at an affordable price, these Yonex Nanospeed clubs have a weighted head and lightweight shaft for a fast swing and real power behind your strokes, giving you extra height and distance. The head is also forgiving and will help you correct your wider shots.
Number three Benross_VX-51_Forged_Irons Benross VX51  One for the more serious golfer but still excellently tailored for use by the less experienced, the Benross VX51 has a softer head, allowing for more shaped shots. This club will give you the chance to experiment with more creative shots, such as drawing the ball. Its cavity design also helps correct off-centre shots.
Number four Wilson_FatShaft_Di7_Irons Wilson FatShaft Di7 The Wilson Di7 is compatible with players who have mid to high handicaps, which means that not only is it suitable for beginners but will also be good for continued use once you get a feel for the game, so an immediate upgrade won’t be necessary. The “Fatshaft” in question helps reduce twisting on impact, rewarding you with much straighter shots.
Number five Callaway_X22 Callaway X22 A versatile club suitable for all skill levels, the Callaway X22 has a large sweet spot in the club head to give you more forgiveness, vital for the higher handicap. The internal weighting gives it a centre of gravity that is easy to work with and helps ensure that your shots fly straight, even if you are off-centre on impact.
Number six Ping_K15_Graphite_Shaft Ping K15 Graphite Shaft Combining a lightweight titanium face with a stainless steel head, the Ping K15 Graphite Iron distributes its weight in such a way to allow a wider face with some real power behind. This makes it much easier to hit the ball and makes up for any mishits, giving you a high trajectory, increased ball flight, and of course control.
Number seven Adams_Idea_A7_Graphite_Shaft_Hybrid_ Adams Idea A7 Graphite Shaft Hybrid  This set of 7 irons ensures that you will find one that works perfectly for you. With a wide variety of club heads ranging from a 19-degree hybrid, to a 45-degree pitching wedge, this set allows you to experiment with different head shapes and proves versatile for all kinds of playing conditions. They have a good solid feel that really helps you work with the ball and learn to shape your shots.
Number eight Wilson_Deep_Red_WT_200 Wilson Deep Red WT 200 Another wide range of irons, these Wilson Deep Red clubs also come with the added benefit of providing improved ball flight. The quality steel shafts provide great stability at impact with the golf ball, helping to maintain accuracy on the course.
Number nine TaylorMade_R7_XR_Forged_Iron_Set TaylorMade R7 XR An ideal set for game improvement, the Taylormade R7 XR comes with an aluminium dampener to reduce vibration and make the hit solid but soft. The forgiving clubface is also shaped to increase accuracy and control while a deep cavity offers more distance and higher speeds.
Number ten Callaway_Diablo_Edge_Iron_Set Callaway Diablo Edge Iron Set A classic set catering to those with mid to high handicaps, the Callaway Diablo Edge has a low centre of gravity with a more accessible sweet spot to help hit the ball accurately and keep it on a straight trajectory. Speed, distance and control are all on offer here, complete with a solid feel so you can shape all your shots yourself and really feel in control.
