Design advances in woods have everybody talking. From larger clubheads to the use of exotic materials, today’s woods are not only designed better, they’re also manufactured better. Add to these changes the advances made in shaft technology, and you have well-crafted metal woods engineered specifically to help you chop strokes off your golf handicap.But advances in iron design are helping players as well. Golfers don’t talk as much about these advances as they do about those in woods, but they’re just as significant for improving your game.
