Callaway FT i-brid irons 3-9

Golf Monthly Verdict

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 Our expert reviewers spend hours testing and comparing products and services so you can choose the best for you. Find out more about how we test.

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.
