Epic Pro £1,749

Verdict: These irons (and PXG’S) highlight how there’s a bunch of well-heeled golfers who simply want the best equipment, no matter what the cost. For those who need justification, you’re looking at £217.50 a yard. Putting the price aside this is a stunning set. The heads are sleeker and slimmer than the Apex and you get a solid sound and powerful feel which you don’t often get from a slimmeddown Pro model. You’re buying into the power of a game improver iron, but in the high-toe head shape of a better player model. That’s what expensive tungsten-infused metal and costly Cnc-milling does; it controls and positions mass more efficiently and right where you need it. That makes it possible to create attractive irons with levels of forgiveness expected in wider-body models.
