How Often Should You Replace Your Iron Set? A Quick Guide for Golfers & Their Crew

For the Golfer: Thinking about new irons? A good set can last many years (5-10+ for casual players!). However, performance can dip due to worn grooves that lose spin. If your shots are losing accuracy or feel different, or if you see visible wear on the clubface, it might be time. Serious golfers who play a lot might consider new irons every 4-6 years to keep those grooves fresh. Ultimately, trust your feel and performance!

For the Spouse: Is your golfer complaining about inconsistent iron shots? Instead of dismissing it, it might be their equipment! While irons aren't a yearly purchase, worn grooves do impact performance. Keep an eye out for visible wear on the clubfaces. A thoughtful conversation (or maybe a gift certificate to a golf shop!) could be a hole-in-one. It's about supporting their game and enjoyment!
