Irons are a fundamental part of a golfer’s bag, let’s be honest.
For how many clubs you get, iron sets are actually very reasonably priced. But don’t let that distract you from the importance of picking the right combination between price and quality.
In this buyer’s guide we pick what we think are the best iron sets for under £600, which is a fair but not too generous budget for this sort of purchase.

Callaway Rogue X Steel Golf Irons
Rogue X Irons are a total distance overhaul, with our 360 Face Cup and VFT, multi-material construction, Urethane Microspheres, and a component package designed for maximum distance. Tungsten Weighting allows us to position the CG in each of the long irons with extraordinary precision, promoting optimum launch and control at each individual loft. The tungsten, twice as heavy as steel, concentrates significant weight into a small space in the form of an intricately shaped part, which is key to precisely controlling CG location.
Key Features:
- 360 Face Cup and VFT
- Rogue Pro Performance Package
- Tungsten Weighting for Optimal Flight and Control
- Urethane Microspheres for Phenomenal Sound and Feel

- Ultra-Thin Face
- Lowest Centre of Gravity
- 1-Year Warranty / KBS Max Ultralite Steel Shafts / Lamkin Crossline Genesis Grips

Cobra Radspeed Steel Golf Irons
The Cobra RADSPEED iron derives its name from the new Radial Technology used in its construction, and this groundbreaking method has a hugely beneficial effect on performance. By using a strategic placement of weight relative to the clubhead’s centre of gravity Cobra have created a golf club that optimises both ball speed and forgiveness. With more mass placed extremely low in the heel and toe sections (the furthest point from the CG), the RADSPEED iron brings a stability that has never been seen before.
Key Features:
- New Radial Technology Brings A Stability Never Seen Before
- PWRSHELL Face Produces Incredible Ball Speed
- 3D Printed Nylon Medallion
- A Perfect Blend Of Power & Precision
The irons have probably one of the coolest tech stories in the range as they feature the same 3D printing technology we saw Cobra recently unveil in their special edition putter.
