Typhoon So you don't agree that a full PW is more accurate than a full 8 iron?
The question is more what would be more accurate a Callaway GBB 2022 7 iron with 30ยฐ loft and playing lenght 37" or my old Ping I3 2001 6 iron with 30.5ยฐ loft and 37"1/4 playing lenght. Looks pretty much the same club to me with just a different number on it.
I had no problem the PW got demoted from a wedge to be used around the green to a full swing club and got replaced with the GW. The problem I have with those jacked up loft clubs is one needs 2 or even 3 new clubs now on the short end that are not wedges but full swing clubs. And how do call these clubs? "the club formelly known as #9 iron" or just continue to number them #10, #11 and #12 to get to the SW
I think Ping got it right to offer Power lofts as well as Retro lofts on their clubs as a fitting option; there seems to be a demand for the 31.5ยฐ club to be called #6 by some and #7 by others.
