Muscle Back Irons from DTC Golf Brands

Muscle Back Irons

Definition

Muscle back irons, also known as partial cavity backs, feature a more compact design with a solid, thicker section of metal behind the sweet spot. Unlike cavity back irons, muscle backs do not have a deep cavity, offering a solid feel and control over shot-shaping.

Purpose

The primary purpose of muscle back irons is to provide better players with greater control and shot-making ability. These irons offer a high level of feedback, allowing golfers to shape shots more precisely. However, they are less forgiving than cavity backs, so accuracy is key.

Who It's For

Muscle back irons are typically favored by low-handicap golfers and advanced players who prioritize feel and control over forgiveness. These irons require a more consistent, accurate ball strike, making them ideal for golfers who want to shape their shots.
