What Are Draw Irons?

The game of golf comes with a wide array of clubs, balls, bags and accessories from which to choose, each boasting their own special design and function. TaylorMade, one of the leading golf club manufacturers, has specifically designed a set of clubs to help the beginner or handicap player achieve greater distances and reduced slices. This line of clubs with draw-weighted technology includes draw irons, draw fairway woods and draw hybrids.

  1. Definition

    • Draw irons are a specifically designed set of golf clubs. This set of irons includes a 3- through 9-iron, as well as a pitching wedge, attack wedge, lob wedge and swing wedge. These are manufactured by TaylorMade.

    Technology

    • TaylorMade draw irons are designed with draw-weighted technology. The design brings the club head's center of gravity up from the end, closer to the shaft. With the change in the center of gravity, it is easier to keep the face of the club square at the moment of impact with the ball. This design also places more weight on the club's heel during the forward swing, and they have a shock-absorbing web in the club cavity.

    Inverted Cone Technology

    • In addition to the draw-weighted design, you will also find TaylorMade's inverted cone technology. This design makes the back of the club face an oval shape. It helps to increase ball speed and distance after impact.

    Purpose

    • This design is used for people who tend to have a problem with chronic fades. With these clubs, you should be able to hit the ball higher, faster and farther down the fairway with a draw spin or a reduced splice spin. The draw that these clubs help you obtain is the gentle curve from right to left (for right-handed hitters, opposite for lefties). It also helps when you are trying to hit the ball out of rough areas, such as water hazards, sand traps or around trees.
