The long iron-type clubs of the long iron-type club group each includes a club head which contains a sole made of a metal material and a shell having a ball-hitting face and a core which is made of a foaming material and enclosed in the shell, and the shell is made of a fiber-reinforced material. The middle iron-type clubs of the middle iron-type club group each includes a club head having a sole and an external periphery each made of a metal material and at least a ball-hitting face made of a fiber-reinforced resin. The short iron-type clubs of the short iron-type club group each includes a club head made of a metal material.

Iron-type golf club set

An iron golf club set characterized in that the difference of the club lengths between at least two adjacent golf clubs in terms of the club number in a middle iron golf club group is set to be greater than the pitch difference of the club length between the club numbers in a long iron golf club group and the pitch difference of the club lengths between the club numbers in a short iron golf club group.

All or some of the clubs in the set have face progression values, which are a distance between the bottom leading edge of the face of the head and the axis of the shaft, which are reduced consecutively or in steps in accordance with a decrease in the value of the loft angle, i.e., a decrease in the club number.

Iron golf club set

A set of iron golf clubs, in which a grip is disposed at one end and a club head is disposed at the other end of a shaft, the length of the shaft is gradually decreased and the loft angle is gradually increased from a longer iron to a shorter iron, wherein the structure of the club head is made such that a hollow structure is taken for longer irons and a solid structure is taken for shorter irons in which the volume of hollow portion is gradually decreased as the number of the club changes from side of the longer iron to the shorter iron.
