Has submenu items

My top 10 irons 2018 list has a few rules. And I make the rules so you’re not allowed to argue.

Firstly, I’m not saying these are ‘the best’ irons out there. I’m saying that from all the irons I have hit over the past 12-18 months, these are my favourite from each brand.

So there’s only one model per brand which made this list even trickier to put together and most brands have a few models which I really like.

And remember, I am a mid-handicap golfer so have made my choices based on the irons I would be most happy putting in my bag for the 2018 season.

There are some lovely sleek blades out there which would get a lot of people’s vote but I’m not convinced they are going to help me shoot my best scores.

Feel free to have your say in the comments section or tweet me @JamesSavageNCG…

Since this list was created we have also reviewed the Ping i500 and i210, the Mizuno JPX919 and the Srixon Z85 range.

10. Top 10 irons 2018 – Cleveland Launcher HB

Best irons 2018

So easy and fun to use. These are ideal for players who need a bit of help getting the ball in the air.

I need the opposite so out of all the irons here this is the model I’d be least likely to take on the course.

But it’s great to see a brand investing in this type of club as I think it will help lots of golfers enjoy the game more.

SRPs:

Men’s steel Set (5-PW): £570 (single iron: £95)
Men’s graphite set (5-PW): £648 (single iron: £108)
Women’s graphite set (5-PW): £648 (single iron: £108)

9. Top 10 irons 2018 – Wilson C300 Forged

Best irons 2018

This is comfortably the best Wilson iron I have ever hit.

Great look, sound and feel and the numbers were up there with anything I have hit in 2018.

Well worth the extra £100 from the cast C300 model.

SRP: £699 (4-PW steel)

8. Top 10 irons 2018 – Srixon Z565

Best irons 2018

The oldest model in this list and it still stands up against models which are two-years younger.

They look and feel great but are incredibly powerful too – especially in the longer irons.

Again, if Mizuno can release another iron in this category in 2018 which is better, I’ll be all over it.

SRP: £110 per iron

5. Top 10 irons 2018 – Callaway Rogue Pro

Top 10 irons 2018

Callaway have a fantastic line-up of irons in 2018.

Even within the Rogue range itself there’s something for everyone with the regular, pro, X and W models.

And for better players, there’s the Apex MB and X Forged.

I’ve hit them all and my model of choice would be the Rogue Pro.

It’s much sleeker than the regular Rogue but is still very powerful. And I think it’s the feel which is most improved from Callaway’s offerings in recent years.

This iron will appeal to a wide range of handicap abilities but will offer a bit more precision to those who don’t need quite as much help.

SRP: £649 (5-PW)
