The short answer is any one as they are all the same thing. They are all a cross between a wood and an iron utilizing the best features of both. I shall use any name as I go depending on where my fingers are on the keyboard.
A 3 or 4-Iron will give you a decent penetrating shot with a fairly low flight trajectory and a corresponding roll. However this can be difficult to control with any great accuracy especially on a dry firm fairway. The reduced top spin produced by the average player with a long iron also gives a greater margin for side spin off the more upright face leading to a pronounced curve to the ball flight.

I played Wilson equipment while I was on the Tour. In fact I still have the irons I used. I can’t seem to quite bend the shafts these days. They are dynamic S and tipped. Actually I can bend them but the club has to be positioned between two chairs so I can sit on it.
The Wilson factory is in Chicago. I stopped in at every opportunity. There was a whole department for the Tour players clubs at the factory. All the players clubs were handmade in that small area. It was fun to see the clubs put together by those skilled craftsmen. They did it with great pride and the clubs showed it. In the 1970s, Wilson was on top with Spaulding and MacGregor trying to catch up. Have things changed a bit?

The right golf shoe can make a huge difference in your game.
There are plenty of golf style shoes available in stores and online, from the likes of Nike, Reebok, Etonic, Footjoy and many more.

It all comes down to personal preference when deciding on how you want to look on the golf course in your shoes.
