Re: irons going the same distance!

Greg makes a solid point - and I'd look to it as the culprit first.

However, if you play a round, and suffer the same problem, it's your equipment.

Trivia time:

What is the tolerance for loft and lie between clubs of all manufactuers - OEM or component (save the Ashton E3)?

+/- 1°

Now, you say, what difference does 1° make?

Well, at the longer clubs, the loft spacing often looks like this: 24° 4 iron, 28° 5 iron, 32° 6 iron. Now, if the 6 iron is -1°, and the 5 iron is +1°, now the lofts are 29° and 31°, respectively. And they hit close together. The other factor is that even though the tolerances are +/-1°, out-of-spec heads still get out there. So you might even have both a 5 and 6 iron at 30°.

I say it too often: If it's golf club shaped, you can play with it.

For the record, I'm a club doctor, not a swing doctor.
