FAQ

Are new irons coming in 2027?

Ping's G450 irons have been seen on tour. Most iron families run on two-year cycles, so many 2026 sets will stay current through 2027.

How many irons come in a set?

Usually seven, such as 4-PW or 5-PW plus a gap wedge. Some brands sell irons by the club.

Should I get fit for irons?

Yes if you can. Lie angle and shaft matter more for irons than for almost any other club.
