What is a hollow body golf iron?

The best game improvement irons are called ‘hollow body irons’ and feature a wide club head that has a hollow body.

They are similar to cut out cavity back irons but most are hollow on the inside.

Are hollow irons better?

What does loft mean in golf?

Loft is the angle of the club face that controls trajectory and affects distance. A driver has a loft between 7 and 12 degrees. Experienced golfers have traditionally favored lower lofted drivers (less than 10 degrees of loft), which require much more skill to hit than higher lofted drivers.

Why do pro golfers use blades?

Blades make it easier to work the ball to the left or the right, whereas cavity-backs tend to reduce sidespin and make it harder to deliberately hit draws and fades. Blades also give the golfer feedback. If you hit a shot right on the sweet spot, it feels pure and effortless and produces maximum distance and accuracy.
