In 2024, more than 48 percent of male golfers hold a handicap between 10 and 20. That’s prime game improvement iron territory, which is why equipment manufacturers invest tons of research and development into making the best game improvement irons possible. They’re doing a great job, too. Today’s game improvement irons are undeniably impressive.
Golf Balls That Will Make Their Game Explode
Know a golf lover? Get them these exploding golf balls for a hilariously perfect gag gift. Each pack comes with three golf balls that explode into white smoke instantly when hit by a putter. These prank golf balls look so similar to the real thing; your target will never see the trick coming.
We loved TaylorMade’s Stealth irons so much that they topped this very list in 2023. When the Qi irons replaced those Stealth irons in 2024, we didn’t simply pass the torch. Rather, TaylorMade earned the top spot once again as it really did improve on an already impressive game improvement iron.
The Qi has a 14% larger sweet spot that its predecessor, Stealth, which is exactly what players in this category are looking for from an iron. TaylorMade also paid special attention to optimizing the CG in each individual iron to optimize performance for that specific part of the bag. Furthermore, the engineers at TaylorMade built draw-bias into the loger irons. If you’ve swapped your long irons for hybrids, TaylorMade politely asks you to think twice before you do that with the Qi irons, because they are so confident you’ll find the long irons easy to launch high and hit straight, which are the primary reasons mid and high-handicappers dump them.
