Hi Golfer,

You asked: Are irons longer year over year like drivers claim to be?

We generally advice golfers with a well-fit driver not to upgrade until 5 years have passed. Irons, though, may be a different story.

There are a few things that have made irons progressively longer. Loft-jacking isn’t exactly a secret and shaft length has gotten a bit longer over the years as well. There are some trends that suggest that manufacturers are starting to rollback lofts a bit, so we might actually see distance dip a bit in the coming years as OEMs reprioritize launch, spin, and descent angles.

WE TRIED IT

Samsung Galaxy Fitness Ring

Take control of your health.

The idea of having something the size of a ring that can monitor your overall health, track sleep, stress and more is very novel. If it works, it’s great. But if it doesn’t, it’s nothing more than a piece of jewelry.

ASK MGS

Are game-improvement irons more accurate than non game-improvement irons?

From our testing, our initial conclusion is that with player’s irons, small cavity-backs, etc., your best shots tend to be a little bit better while your worst shots tend to be a whole lot worse.  

If you believe that golf is a game of misses, you’re making the argument for game-improvement designs.
