Your brand new 5 iron has the same loft as the club they stamped with a #3 in the 60's and #4 in the 70's...Still think you need a 1 iron in your bag??? And they continue to do it as long as the consumer remains uninformed. Gotta make a buck. The average length driver on the PGA Tour in 2004-2005 was 44.5 inches. The average club length sold to the average consumer is 45 inches. The average loft of driver on the PGA Tour at the 2006 AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am was 9.2 degrees, conversely their amateur counterparts had an average loft of 9.4 (the majority of which were over a 12 handicap). __________________ Drew Let Your Motion Make the Shot. drewitgolf View Public Profile Send a private message to drewitgolf Visit drewitgolf's homepage!
