Making Sense of the Selction

We know lofts vary between brands, but did you know that lofts also vary between models from the same manufacturer?

Here are the #7 iron lofts for four 2020 releases from the same big manufacturer.
Which is best for YOU?
What if I told you that the launch angle of the 27° loft model is actually higher than the launch angle of the 33° loft model? We’ll help you find out what irons fit you best.
