Ping has introduced the i540 irons, a players-distance model featuring a maraging steel face, tungsten weighting and inR-Air technology to deliver more speed, higher launch and improved feel.
Wilson’s new Staff Model line of irons features three models: the Staff Model Blade, Staff Model CB, and the Staff Model XB. Each of the 8620 carbon steel irons were designed to fit together to address the increasing desire for combo sets.
Like the tools on a carpenter’s pegboard, each club in the bag performs a specific job – in the case of utility irons, a very specific one.

Cobra builds on its expertise in 3D-printing with a new players iron (3DP MB) as well as a game-improvement model (3DP X). The irons are completely 3D-printed, allowing for a level of precision and intricacy not available in clubs that are forged or cast.
The new XXIO 14 line-up of woods and irons, again with a lightweight construction geared to those with moderate swing speeds and smoother tempos, is the company’s most expansive yet.
The new Baffler iron set from Cobra combines five different clubhead designs in an effort to elevate trajectory and increase forgiveness in specific ways throughout the bag for beginning golfers and those looking at the super game-improvement category.
Better players seeking a blade-esque profile were left out when Callaway released its latest Apex Ai line-up. The introduction of Ai150 ticks all the boxes for golfers on the lower end of the handicap spectrum.
One of the most technologically advanced irons in the industry, Ti Fusion is Callaway’s “supercar concept” – a souped-up design with advanced materials and groundbreaking manufacturing techniques that places game improvement consistency into player-preferred shapes.
The i240 is a true cavity-back iron that will appeal to better players. A lower centre-of-gravity position delivers a higher ball flight for more shot-stopping ability.
Ping’s latest driving/utility iron, the iDi, takes aim at delivering specific ball flights for each loft – more of a driving-iron trajectory on the 2-iron while the 4-iron launches higher with more spin.
