Hot Irons

New Tech for Golfers

Get In THE Game

PING Golf
Callaway ’ s Paradigm Ai Smoke irons also use a hollow body construction design , longer blade lengths , thinner toplines , and better sole widths to create a forgiving club with a more appealing look at address . The AI technology is really great , and we have seen a huge improvement for our golfers during club fittings . Paradym Ai Smoke Irons ( set ) MSRP : $ 999.99 .
Titleist Golf
The Titleist T200 irons have gotten a lot of interest from our golfers who are looking for more distance and forgiveness . The T200 irons promote greater ball speeds with a Dual-taper forged face that expands the sweet spot . This expanded sweet spot provides more consistent speed across the entire surface , improving distance control .
A completely re-engineered chassis for the T200 irons provides more support towards the heel and toe for a more feel and less vibration at impact , which gives the golfer a “ Tour Quality Feel .”
Titleist also worked extensively on the club ’ s sole to enhance turf interaction . The refined variable bounce sole provides a softer and smoother trailing edge , allowing the club to slide faster through the turf , even after impact . Titleist T200 Irons MSRP : $ 200 per Iron .
When we think of “ forgiving irons ,” we picture the PING G Series irons , and the PING G430 iron line doesn ’ t disappoint . The PING G430 irons combine a lower CG with stronger lofts and a thinner face to deliver faster ball speeds and significant gains in distance . All of this is done without sacrificing the famous PING forgiveness . Faster ball speeds come from a proprietary heat-treating process that creates Hyper 17-4 stainless and a stronger clubface that allows for more flexing . That increased flexing in the face gives us more distance and the lower CG produces a higher shot , making it easier to stop the ball on the green . PING G430 MSRP : $ 1,188.25 .
As in past years , the choices in new , improved irons are many , and we have just touched the surface here . We encourage you to visit the clubfitter at your local golf course to try these irons out on the range , as well as all the new entries for 2024 . Rely on your golf course clubfitter ’ s expertise to help evaluate your game and use that knowledge to show you new clubs that might take you to the next level of performance .
