What is there to defend ?I'm sure someone recently posted on here that a 38 degree pitching wedge was not far away.
Well it's arrived, and from an unexpected quarter, the new Titleist T400!
(Defend that then Phil, I'm sure you will!)

They are all current modelsWould like to see the year of manufacture on there for added smile-ability !
Quite a difference.
Whats funny with that chart, is that as you go down the list, irons disappear from the left and new irons(wedges) appear on the right.
And when you look at loft, you would think the spreadsheet has just pasted them 'starting' into the wrong column.
Mine is 45degrees and goes about 120 yards. I do know that I have never hit the old set of irons I have PW 120 yards

Basically someone will just adjust what clubs they have to fill the gaps - no need for the “2-3-4” irons etc and have the gaps filled by wedges
But what is the issue ?
And I hit my PW approx 110-115 - believe the loft is 46
For me the number on the bottom of the club should be an indication of how far it will go, of course that will differ depending on whose hands the club is in, but Player A should be able to pick up a 7 iron (for instance) and know that they will be able to hit it roughly "x" yards. The same if he picked up another 7 iron by another manufacturer.
It just makes a mockery of having numbered irons, would you be okay with a 21 degree PW?
It's wrong on so many levels, for instance when we've played a round of golf one of the things we sometimes do afterwards is discuss shots played, "I hit a 7 iron into the green on the 13th", once this gave you a good idea of the distance covered, now it could be anything from 140 to 200 yards.
(The question on the thread title was a rhetorical one)

oooooooopsThey are all current models
so you're saying all 7 irons amongst all manufacturers should go the same? I went from ping i20 to tm p750 they are never going to go the same as they are a different club. in my opinion that's like saying all cars should have the same 0-60 speed
