What Are Game-Improvement Irons? Golf (Video) - by Pete Styles

If you do any research looking around the different types of golf clubs in the market something for you to buy, you'll often hear this term of game improvement irons. So what does that actually mean? Well generally game improvement iron would be aimed to serve handicap range of let's say 12 to 28. Sort of towards the top end of golfers at the 28th range but it can bring you down to a good sort of solid mid teens, low teens, 12 kind of handicap. And a game improvement iron is designed to just exactly that to help your game along. So what you'll generally see when you look at a game improvement iron if you have a nice big cavity in the back of the golf clubs that will be lots of shape underneath the golf club quite a thick rounded sole at the bottom, loads of weights underneath, perimeter around the golf club, it has a lots of weight in it as well, that's really designed to help you with off center hits.

So when you're hitting the ball nicely out in the middle it will feel great, but every golf club would. A game improvement iron works particularly well when you're not hitting the center, when you're on the outside of the perimeter of the golf club, but still help that ball get up into the air, fly nice and high, loads of weight underneath the golf club for the same reason up into the air, nice and high. A big rounded sole on the bottom of the golf club so that if you did hit the ground and the little bit heavy, the club would dig into the floor, but it would skim off the surface and again get the ball up in the air. Game improvement iron not necessarily the best looking type of golf club particularly when you look down at it from the top it might be quite a chunky profile on the top, it might be quite a lot of offset in the neck, but that all has performance benefits.

The chunky profile again is more weight behind the golf ball, and the thicker top line will often give a less skilled golfer a little bit more confidence when they're looking down at the golf ball. And the offset in the neck just sets the leading edge behind the shaft slightly, takes the center of gravity, further back to help you get the ball up in the air and obviously the offset as well will actually help you close the club face a little bit back to help you square the club face up to the ball. So if you're struggling with your game and you're not hitting the ball particularly well, search out some game improvement irons and hopefully that will help you.
