Best Steel Single Golf Irons in 2026

Rogue ST MAX are Callaway’s longest iron ever, with refined game-improvement shaping for golfers who want incredible speed, forgiveness, and all-around iron performance.

For the first time in the industry, they’ve combined high strength 450 steel with our A.I. designed Flash Face Cup. This delivers more ball speed and better ball speed consistency.

They’ve applied our new A.I. Face Optimization for Rogue ST MAX. It’s unique for each model and loft to create spin rate consistency across the face. It creates high launch and COR plus a more controlled landing angle to help hold greens.

Due to unprecedented demand across the industry, causing a shortage of shafts and grip, we may need to substitute for an equivalent premium shaft/grip.

With MAVRIK, we’re using Artificial Intelligence for the first time in an iron. Ball speed is further enhanced by our 360 Face Cup that flexes and releases at impact.

We’ve created a sophisticated face architecture that’s unique to every loft, so we can create a significant boost in ball speed and increased spin robustness off of every iron.

Apex is the first forged iron designed with A.I. and it’s engineered to deliver superior performance with iconic feel on every swing. There’s nothing like our best…and that’s Apex.

The unique A.I. architecture in each iron creates high ball speeds and increased spin robustness across the face. They’re engineered for impressive distance and pinpoint control.

For the first time, we’ve implemented our Tungsten Energy Core into an Apex Iron. With 5x the tungsten of Apex 19, we can precisely position the Center of Gravity to promote outstanding launch throughout the set, and more forgiveness on off-center shots.

These are Callaway’s fastest irons ever. They’re built with wide soles, enhanced offset, and a thicker topline vs. Rogue ST Max. The Lite version features more loft, lighter shafts and lighter swingweights to make these our easiest-to-swing Rogue model.

They’ve applied new A.I. Face Optimization to Rogue ST MAX OS LITE. It’s unique for each model and loft to create spin rate consistency across the face. It delivers high launch and COR plus a more controlled landing angle to help hold greens.

Callaway’s new precision tungsten weighting features up to 46g of high-density tungsten, a 188% increase over MAVRIK. This provides improved launch conditions and maximizes speed across the face.

Taylor Made Stealth

Stealth irons feature an intelligently positioned sweet spot that spans the most common impact points, delivering enhanced forgiveness with explosive ball speeds.

Taking mass from the toe and placing it in the sole lowers CG for increased launch angle and peak height, producing a towering ball flight, long carry distances and heavy stopping power.
