photo credit: star5112 For all players, amateurs and Pros alike, the 8-iron is the perfect club to use when practicing and should be considered your ”ace-in-the-hole,” during actual play.
On the range, the 8-iron is a no-brain-er, it is the easiest club in the bag to use. With the club's high loft, getting the ball airborne is done with ease; shot accuracy is the norm rather than the exception. The 8-iron should be the most useful club in your golf bag because of it's versatility.
A golfer can recover from errant drives, fairway woods or long iron shots but if you miss an 8-iron shot you are going to lose a stroke. This short iron, should be your “go-to” club. It can be used for approach shots, shots from the rough, chip shots, pitch shots, bunker shots, pitch and run shots etc. Drop your handicap, learn how to use an 8-iron.
