Best Golf Irons This Season
Mizuno JPX923 Hot Metal and Titleist T350 headline our current iron recommendations for feel, forgiveness, and distance.
Feel versus forgiveness
Every game-improvement iron on the market makes some tradeoff between forgiveness and feel. This season’s two standouts sit at different points on that spectrum.
Our picks
Mizuno JPX923 Hot Metal leads for golfers who want distance-focused engineering without losing the solid, tour-like feel Mizuno is known for. Titleist T350 is the pick for golfers who want maximum forgiveness and easier launch, especially on long irons.
How to choose
If you consistently strike the ball near the center of the face, the JPX923 Hot Metal rewards that consistency with more workability. If your misses are more scattered or you struggle to get long irons airborne, the T350’s wider sole and higher launch will likely lower more scores.

Frequently Asked Questions
Should I buy irons individually or as a set?
Almost all irons are sold and fitted as a set (typically 4 or 5 through pitching wedge) so that distance gapping stays consistent from club to club. Wedges are usually bought separately.
Do I need to get fitted for irons?
A fitting isn't mandatory, but confirming your correct length, lie angle, and shaft flex meaningfully improves consistency — more so than choosing between similar models.
