Typhoon might benefit from lighter irons
But John, these new irons are NOT lighter. Read my post. They are the same lengths/weights as the old irons, with the numbers 'stepped'. There is no diff in lofts/lengths. It is only the number that has changed( I'll say for 'most' OEM irons now).
At that, I'm smart enough to figure that out and always order my irons, or build them, +1/2". My GW/AW becomes my PW, or sometimes, even my 9i. Depending on the strength of the lofts I'm using. IOW, I'm basically close to using 'old school' irons, with modern day heads. Suits me, works for me. And, I am certainly not 1/1,000,000!!
If I am looking down at an iron, that looks similar to a putter, that damn thing better say 4 on the sole....not 6 or 7!!! THAT, is fucked up. I don't care how that head was made, as far as weighting, ams cannot get it off the ground. Why do you think so many of us older fellas are now just going with 8i and under in our bags. Yeah, we can still hit a 5i, and we do.....it's labeled as 8 today. ferchrissakes
