Callaway irons are deigned to be easy to hit. They are very popular with all golfers but Callaway irons are especially helpful for mid to high handicap golfers. Callaway irons often have thick club heads that are very forgiving if you miss the sweet spot.
Consider the following features when deciding which Callaway irons are most suitable for your game.
Callaway irons – cavity backs
Cavity back Callaway irons have a hollow in the back of the club head. This creates more mass around the perimeter of the club head. Callaway irons with cavity backs are therefore less prone to twisting when you miss the sweet spot. This makes Callaway irons with cavity backs more forgiving. Many tour professionals now use cavity back irons. Callaway irons with deeper cavities are more forgiving but offer less feel to your shots.
Callaway irons – blades
Bladed Callaway irons have a thinner club head and no cavity in the back. Callaway blades provide lots of feel but are less forgiving to hit. Blades are best suited for players with low handicaps.
Callaway irons – shafts
Callaway irons with graphite shafts are lighter and more suitable for golfers with slower swings or higher handicaps. Golfers with fast swings usually find they are more accurate with steel shafted Callaway irons. Most golf professionals with Callaway irons play steel shafts. New Callaway irons with graphite shafts typically cost euros 100-200 more than a set with steel shafts.
Callaway irons - flex
Callaway irons with regular flex shafts will be suitable for most golfers. If you have a low handicap or fast swing you may prefer Callaway irons with a stiffer shaft. If you have a higher handicap or slower swing you may prefer Callaway irons with a more flexible shaft.
Callaway irons – lie Callaway
irons with a standard lie are suitable for most golfers. If you are a tall golfer or have a more upright swing you may prefer Callaway irons with a lie that is 1-2 degrees upright. If you are a short golfer or have a flatter swing you may prefer Callaway irons with a lie that is 1-2 degrees flatter.
