Irons are clubs with a flat angled face and a shorter shaft than a wood. They are used to hit from the intermediate lengths between that of fairway woods and wedges. They are great for shots approaching the green or from more difficult lies such as the rough, through or over trees, or at the base of hills. They have varied loft angles to hit the ball different lengths. The lower lofted or lower numbered clubs such as the #3 and 4 irons will hit the ball the further, but may be more difficult to get the ball airborne and hit toward your target. The mid-lofted irons are the #5,6, and 7 irons. The scoring irons are the shortest hitting of the irons, #8 and 9 are the easiest to hit.
