GRAPHITE GOLF IRONS

An essential component in countless players’ bags, graphite golf irons have helped craft a more enjoyable, consistent and less strenuous golfing experience for so many since they were first introduced over 50 years ago.

While steel may be “the standard” on tour, the advantages offered by graphite golf irons are too enticing to miss, with many players actively preferring the look, feel, and most importantly, the results.

Available from virtually all leading golf brands, there are plenty of graphite golf iron sets for you to choose from - and you’ll always be able to find the perfect set among our range at Clarkes Golf.

Benefits of graphite golf irons

• Lightweight - Graphite irons are, on average, 25 to 35% lighter than steel.

• Increased clubhead speed and distance - Because they’re more lightweight than steel shafts, players can enjoy increased swing speeds and distance as a result.

• Better comfort and less vibration - Graphite softens the feeling of impacts and vibrations which many players find unpleasant.

• Shaft flex profiles - Club makers can cater the flex profiles of each graphite iron to promote a higher launch angle.

• Consistency - Once riddled with consistency problems, modern graphite shafts are well-known for encouraging greater consistency and accuracy thanks to advancements in golf technology.

• Varied design options - Graphite is far easier for manufacturers to customise, so the clubs can be imbued with specific advantages.

• Custom fitting - With so many weights, flexes and bend profiles, players have more options during the custom fitting process.

Who is best suited to graphite irons?

• Beginners and seniors

Those just starting out can be intimidated by the weight of steel irons, while older players can struggle with the weight. A new set of graphite irons offers both sets of players a welcome alternative.

• High handicappers

Golfers struggling to lower their score may find steel irons difficult to work with.

• Those with physical issues

Reduced weight and vibrations mean players dealing with injuries or joint problems can have some relief during play.

• Players with slow swing speeds

Want to see a sudden jump in your swing speeds? Graphite shafts let you inject your shot with some much-needed extra force.
