There are two categories of irons that 10 handicap golfers should basically wipe off the Christmas wishlist.
Iron Category 1 – Blades: You would be surprised to find out just how many PGA tour players don’t play a full set of blades. The reason is simple. Blades are very unforgiving. If you make even the slightest mistake with your swing, you can lose a massive amount of distance or impart a ridiculous amount of side spin too your shot.
Iron Category 2 – Super Game Improvement Irons: It’s easy to spot a set of super game improvement irons. They look like spaceships, with ridiculously chunky soles and a whole lot of crazy stuff happening behind the face. This particular iron category caters to ultimate beginners that need every ounce of technology that equipment manufacturers can offer.
Basically, if your handicap is 18 or less, you should avoid super game improvement irons at all costs. They will hold you back and make the game feel less satisfying when you hit a good shot.
