In general, for an iron club, is the heavier is better than the lighter one? Better meaning more speed and distance.

You gain some things and lose others, the best is to hit one of each to see what works for you
No, you have no control. you may get more speed and distance out of a lighter club but you lose your accuracy with the lighter club.
A heavy putter is certainly better….more stable through impact…therefore more consistent….
Hello alim
As far as irons go it may be benificial to use a heavier club, by this I mean having steel shafts instead of the lighter graphite shafts. I say this because the irons are primarily for accuracy and not distance.
Now on the other hand , its better to have lighter woods because you can get more clubhead speed and greater distance .
So graphite shafts for the woods and metal shafts for the irons is a good combination.
Its your choice, if you feel that speed and distance is better for you with irons then go for the lighter graphite shafts, I think accuracy is more important and if we want more distance with irons we just go to a longer club.

You do not get more speed and more distance on a heavy club.
what gives you more speed is a lighter club.
what will give you more distance is the heavyer club.
to get both distance and speed you need to have a accurate hit in the center.
at the same clubhead speed, a heavier clubhead will hit the ball further, but an average golfer will swing faster with a lighter club. you have to find a balance beetween th two
no, you do not get more speed and distance with a heavier club
I used to think a heavier club was better…that it would take some of the “variation” out of my swing…make me more consistent.
I was wrong.
I now use much lighter clubs and I have a much more consistent swing.
I recommend that you stay away from heavier clubs.
NO. If that was the case then Tiger Wood must be using a baseball bat.
Great question I’m an expert at golf and your answer is here.
clubhead speed equal distance is true when there is no friction like of the tee. Irons on the other hand should have mass because they come in contact with the ball and ground not tee and ball. although like bowling a sixteen pound ball with speed surly works better so it depends on your strength an coordination a little heavier is better if you’re Strong and vice versa.
Depends on what kind of things you would like to fix…
slows down a quick swing…sure it’ll work
If it feels as though you can’t “feel” the club during your swing, you may need it.
I’ve heard that Ernie Els uses a lot of lead tape and look at how silky his swing is.
All the pros tweak their clubs to their liking and I would be very surprised to find out that their swing weights are all standard.
Give it a shot…lead tape is cheap.
no
there are steel and graphite and both go about the same distance now. guys usually have steel or else they’ll swing too fast, and girls usually have graphite because it’s lighter and they can handle that kind of weight
