1. irons

   Bonds may be of cord, leather, or any other substance that can bind; chains are of linked metal. Manacles and handcuffs are for the hands, fetters are primarily chains or jointed iron fastenings for the feet; gyves may be for either. A shackle is a metallic ring, clasp, or bracelet-like fastening for encircling and restraining a limb: commonly one of a pair, used either for hands or feet. Bonds, fetters, and chains are used in a general way for almost any form of restraint. Gyves is now wholly poetic, and the other words are mostly restricted to the literary style; handcuffs is the specific and irons the general term in popular usage; as, the prisoner was put in irons. Bonds, chains, and shackles are frequently used in the metaphorical sense.

   Synonyms:
   bondage, bonds, chains, custody, durance, duress, fetter, gyves, handcuffs, imprisonment, manacles, shackles

How to use irons in a sentence?

1. Rory McIlroy:

   In terms of ball striking, I've driven it better, which is a huge part of my game, when I drive it well I can give myself shorter irons into greens and more opportunities for birdies. My mid-range putting has been very good this year.

2. Jamie Lovemark:

   Most everything has been pretty decent, i'm putting nice, aggressive off the tee, driving it well, trying to kind of work my irons a little bit, and that's something new for me. It's all a process and slowly improving.

3. Matt Jones:

   If the greens firm up, Pebble is going to play the hardest because they're such small greens, if you're not hitting your irons well enough, you're going to struggle out there.

4. Andrew Landry:

   Irons have been struggling the last few months, distance control and direction, a mixture of everything, i hit the ball really well today. Finally starting to see some good stuff coming around.

5. Nate Lashley:

   I'll try to block out all the distractions, all the exemptions and everything that comes along with winning, because it's a life-changing event, i'm hitting my irons great, driving it well. I'm just going to continue that tomorrow and see what happens.
