Custom fit Ping you can have 2 degree strong, normal or retro (weaker) on some irons. Don’t get hung up on the numbers as long as your bag set is well gapped is most important.

Surely, if all irons are lofted the same (46* PW) as an example, then some clubs would be known and shorter and no doubt deemed inferior -

Found this on the Titleist website
That 5-W3 set is close to an exact match to one of my sets that is numbered 2-10

yes but noticeable that they do not offer a 3 or 4 iron but include 3 'wedges' 43, 49 and 55
The T100 has the PW at 46 degrees

I can't see why ... any of it, really.

That so reminds me of an old playing partner;
"What did you hit?"
"5 iron"
"I hit 8 iron"
"I'm 15 feet away, you're 25 yards left"
"Yeah, but I hit 8 iron..."

interest comments thanks, for me as long as I know my distances it doesn't bother what is written on the bottom of the club, seems its probalby down to being able to advertise longer distance from the alleged same club. Daft really!

PW in this set is 55°, admittedly that's a bit extreme and I need to get it cranked back to a more sensible 52°.

7 is 38d, 8 is 43d, 9 is 49d and 10 is 54d. I really like the "gaps" and the hit-distance with these. Forgan Powerpakt circa 1961.
When playing with these, I keep in my mind,
9-iron is 99 yards
5-iron is 155 yards
easy to remember.
I use a "standard" 58d SW (Edinburgh Golf Eagle SW) when I play with these.

So bizarre that the lofts are identical to the T300s, just all shifted across one. Why not just number them the same then?

Perhaps it is for people who want to hit a "6-iron" a good forum distance.So bizarre that the lofts are identical to the T300s, just all shifted across one. Why not just number them the same then?
If people didn't buy 'em, they wouldn't make 'em.

So it was a 9i? Not a wedge then? Most sets seem to just be same with the numbers moved along a couple of clubs...

If the flight is the same, the shaft length is the same then you could argue it’s a strong wedge. Me personally I would have expected a 9i flight and not a wedge flight if I were to class it as a 9i.

But when we've established that the lofts are nonsense, how are you quantifying a "9i flight"?

I’d quantify a 9i flight as one that is lower wedge.

I know this is confusing for the occasional player. As it's always been the key is knowing how far you carry each club in your bag. I recently played in Scotland with rental clubs. It did present a slight problem with my distances. Anyway, that's my excuse for not scoring in the 80s with my 9.5 index.

I tend to hit the ball high with all irons. Yesterday at the range just comparing a 9i and a 46W (just 3 degrees difference in lofts) and Toptracer says that I hit the same height on average with both clubs.
