Start with the shape, forgiveness and feedback you want. Every model can be built around your preferred shafts, grips and specs.
Iron buyer’s guide
Haywood golf irons span four distinct profiles: forgiving game-improvement irons, compact players-distance irons, forged cavity backs and muscle backs. The right model is the one that produces repeatable launch, carry and dispersion while giving you the look and feedback you prefer at address. Handicap can be useful context, but strike pattern and ball flight should lead the decision.

Explore SV.2Players distance
A compact, confidence-inspiring profile with speed and distance support. Choose PD.1 when you want more help than a traditional players iron without the size of a game-improvement model.
Explore PD.1Forged cavity back
A forged players cavity-back that pairs a compact shape and clear feedback with added stability. CB2 suits golfers seeking control and shotmaking confidence with more support than a muscle back.
Explore CB2Forged muscle back
A traditional forged muscle-back profile for consistent strikers who prioritize direct feedback, precise trajectory control and workability over additional help from the clubhead.
Explore MB2Combo sets
A combo iron set blends two compatible profiles through the bag. Longer irons can provide extra launch, speed or stability, while scoring irons deliver a more compact shape and direct feedback.
SV.2 | PD.1 blends game-improvement support with players-distance performance. CB2 + MB2 pairs the stability of a forged cavity back with muscle-back precision.
What to consider
If off-centre contact loses too much height or carry, begin with a more forgiving model. Consistent strikers can prioritize compact shaping and clearer feedback.
Compare average carry, launch and dispersion—not one unusually long shot. The best iron set creates predictable distances and useful gaps throughout the bag.
Confidence at address matters. Choose a profile you can aim comfortably, then configure the shaft, grip, length and lie to support your natural setup.
