Typically, super game improvement irons are draw-biased.<\/p>\n<h2>Game Improvement Irons vs Player Irons<\/h2>\n<p>Game improvement irons are defined by a few features; usually there is a cavity in the back of the club head,<br \/>\n          which reduces the amount of twist and vibrate on the club when the ball misses the &#8220;sweet spot&#8221;. It creates an<br \/>\n          effective hitting area and reduces the impacts of an off-center hit. There is a lower center of gravity in<br \/>\n          game improvement irons, because additional weight has been placed near the bottom of the club head. This<br \/>\n          causes the ball to send off at a higher angle, giving it more height and a softer landing. These particular<br \/>\n          irons are also made by pouring molten metal into a pre-formed cast, unlike regular irons that are made with<br \/>\n          forged blocks of steel.<\/p>\n<p>Other common differences between game improvement irons and regular ones include a larger overall club head<br \/>\n          for more surface area and greater momentum, a thicker top line to help frame the ball, and club offset to give<br \/>\n          the golfer a split-second more to square the face at impact.
