$1,199.99 list priceIndependent Golf Reviews' best irons overall: forged feel with distance and forgiveness.
No 2027 iron sets are in stores yet. Ping's G450 irons have been seen on tour, and Srixon and Mizuno launched new sets in fall 2026.
GolfWRX reports the wider G450 family, including fairway woods, hybrids and irons, on Ping's tour truck. No retail details yet. The extra-forgiving G450 K driver is not part of the first wave and may not arrive until late 2027.
Srixon announced its second-generation ZXi irons on Oct 16, 2026 ($1,499.99). Mizuno's Pro S-4 irons reached retail in September 2026 ($1,505). Odyssey released its TRTL and TRTL MAX putters on Oct 29, 2026. These are the newest models you can buy, but none has published independent test results yet.

Ping's G450 irons have been seen on tour. Most iron families run on two-year cycles, so many 2026 sets will stay current through 2027.
Usually seven, such as 4-PW or 5-PW plus a gap wedge. Some brands sell irons by the club.
