An iron in the game of golf is the most common kind of club in a golfer’s bag. It is a club used to hit the ball forward towards the hole. Several situations require the use of the irons in the game of golf. You may need to use the various numbered irons when teeing on short holes from fairways or roughs and extracting the ball from hazardous areas like the bunkers or from out of shallow waters.
Range in number from 0-12 but in a modern set of irons, the more common range is 3-9. The number indicates their loft, which refers to the angle of the golf clubface. The one iron ore, the driving iron, is the largest and lowest lofted of all. The irons that fall between 2-4 are built to hit long distances and are usually used from the fairway or rough.
They are also used to bring the ball out of the troubled spots, like, for example, under trees. Because of their low lofts, they are not very easy to hit. Their striking face and ‘the sweet spot’ are small compared to other high loft irons. The number five irony is between the long and mid irons and can be regarded as belonging to any of these two classes.
Mid irons are those numbered between 5 and 7, with a higher loft and more surface area. The shafts give the average golfer a better distance and are used for long approach shots from the fairway and rough.
Short irons are the eight to nine irons and are the ones that are the easiest to hit. The eight irons have the largest club heads and the shortest shafts. Shots that require a high loft and short distance of about 130 to 150 yards are best made with these irons. The construction of the 8-9 irons is a steel shaft and is particularly useful for shots that ask for high accuracy.
TaylorMade SIM 2 Max Irons Review
The TaylorMade SIM 2 Max Irons I’ve been constructed to maximize performance. The Cap Back Technology was developed by TaylorMade to enhance the look, feel, and performance of the SIM Max 2 iron. This has helped reduce vibrations at impact, aided in generating distance, and the Thru-Slot Speed Pocket has created flexibility for increased ball speed.
With support from collected data, the Cap Back Design was able to develop the “intelligent sweet spot,” which kept in mind that golfers most often mishit the high toe and low heel area. So, the Cap Back Technology architects built and shaped the iron in such a way to help golfers capture these particular spots.
The iron is made of a lightweight composite polymer material, providing a distinctively clean look. The polymer construction increases stability and provides rigidity to the upper part of the iron face and flexibility to the bottom, creating more forgiveness and a better feel and sound.
The new Echo Damping system of the TaylorMade SIM 2 Max Irons uses contact points that diminish vibrations but do not compromise the iron’s face flexibility. In addition to the Echo Damping System, the TaylorMade SIM 2 Max Iron uses the inverted cone technology, which helps expand the COR zone. It has been positioned in a way that maximizes forgiveness. Variable face thickness of the inverted corn technology increases bold speeds around the intelligent sweet spot and over a larger area of the face.
Longer than the original TaylorMade SIM irons, the SIM 2 Max irons produce optimal spin, and their raw ball speed pushes them on top. The mid-high launch gives the golfer more stopping power into the Greens, has hired trajectory, and more control. They are, at the same time, more forgiving.
The very well-rounded irons can handle lies of different kinds well and have strong workability. With the accompanying feature of the 360-degree undercut, ultra-thin face, and the fluted hosel, the SIM 2 Max Irons keep the CG low, improve launch, and work together to bring the weight down and improve scores.
These are game improvement golf irons for those players who look for maximum distance and forgiveness. These TaylorMade SIM 2 Max irons have wider soles, a thicker top line, and longer club heads. Their sound is powerful in contact, and they interact with the turf perfectly. The TaylorMade SIM 2 Max Irons are a fan favorite and have also been a gold medalist on the Golf Digest 2021 Hot List.
