I'll sacrafice distance over accuracy any day and it seems (with everyones reviews) that you may be losing a bit of distance but that is made up 10-fold in the accuracy that these clubs bring to the table. I'm really excited to try this set out sometime soon. It also helps that they are just a great classic looking club.
Look, I agree with you and with Hawk when it comes to weighing all the options for sure. My point with "distance" based irons is that when you have one companies 8iron, which for the sake of conversation carries 160 yards, and you have another companies 8iron which carries 145/150 yards, most amateurs will be better off putting the "distance" iron in their hand for a couple of reasons:
1. It's just longer in distance therefore when you can hit a shorter iron (8,9,PW) the lateral movement of the shot should be reduced, just due to the shorter shaft.
2. Based on the data I gathered yesterday, for some reason, an iron like the 2.0 just flat out performs. Low spin, high launch, furthest carry, even though the launch angle was almost identical to the others.
