Numbers on golf clubs!

Go get a video of you at the range hitting this three iron and the speed blade 4 iron.

Sorry no video, but I tried this on the range today. I could hit the Titleist 4-iron pretty well, but both the Titleist 3-iron and the SpeedBlade 4-iron actually went less far and where generally less straight. I was much longer, straighter and more consistent with a 19 degree hybrid!

This was using range balls btw, so I might have done better with decent golf balls.

No surprise there. Hybrids have bigger sweetspots and weighted to get a high flight. I play old lofts and the lowest iron in my bag is 5 iron. Consistency for me after this iron is the reason I go with a hybrid. I could and have played a 4i but the hybrid gives me better results more often than not.

Looking on the positive side, I have a set of TM irons that cover the range of lofts I can reasonably hit with Nos 5-SW + GW (8 irons) and with mostly 5 degree gaps. On the other hand I have the Titleist 4-SW with no GW (also 8 irons), with mostly 4 degree gaps. This leaves me with a bit of a dilemma. I can sell the Taylor Mades and regrip the Titleists, sell the Titleists and the TM 4-iron, or sell both sets and start again. The Titleists include a particularly nice 56 degree Sand Wedge, so I might keep that.

Sorry del but tbh im mince at golf but i hit the speedblade 4 iron fine, i chose a 4h as it's probably more versatile,i get more distance out of the 4i.but i do agree the strong lofts can mess with either end of the bag

That probably depends on your shot shape. My basic shot is a lowish draw that can become a snap hook. If you hit a high fade, then it will probably work quite well for you.

Watch the fitting video this month i really dont do high fades lol.
point being is modern 4 irons are pretty easy to hit these days,i tried my old boys irons the other day and i just managed to get the butter on with the 3 iron!
