When does a 3 iron quit being a 3 iron?
I got curious about lofts of today vs older clubs.
My 3 iron is 21 degrees (callaway x18), in older clubs that loft was a 2 iron.
So I guess I can hit a 2 iron lol
In 20 yrs, I wonder what a 21 degree iron will be, 4 iron?
Never mind, the Taylormade RBZ 4 iron is 20 degrees (3 iron is 17.5)
So I guess their add is true, their 3 iron will go further than my 3 iron.
But will their 21 degree go further go further than my 21 degree, ha
So why do the club makers keep relabeling their clubs?
Why can't they have a standard system where each club has its specific loft.
All 21 degree clubs are 3 irons, 23 degree are 4 irons etc
Because they figured out that people buy the clubs they hit 'the longest'.
