Callaway FT i-brid irons 3-9
Callaway FT i-brid irons 3-9
One of the most technologically advanced sets around at the moment, which is why you pay a top-end price. The long irons look like utility clubs and, as expected, they were extremely forgiving, but it did surprise me that I was also able to work the ball easily with them. Every iron was flying at least a club further than I am used to – no bad thing!
Why you can trust Golf Monthly
The set combines three different types of hybrid-esque clubs designed for game-improvement. The 3, 4 and 5 i-brid clubs have an extremely wide sole and a low, deep centre of gravity for extreme levels of forgiveness. The mid and short irons have oversize offset heads with a large hitting area. The whole set has a multi-material construction, which means that the majority of weight is shifted to the heel and toe to create incredibly stable heads.
