Haha... shadow posts, but I caught it in email. So @JB, basically there is no stock steel iron shaft listed for these, it's Steelfiber or Tensei? I'd imagine they're going to open up their custom shaft options to these as well though, correct?

Buuuuuuut with the suspended weight technology and how they’ve been able to move the mass, of the lofts didn’t come down they would balloon like crazy. I know some don’t believe that, but it’s a true reason we have seen lofts come down like they have.
I get what you're saying, but I can't believe there isn't a noticeable net distance gain with a 41-degree PW. You're suggesting there is not? It seems to me the two gap wedges are there for a reason, plus the SW is more traditionally lofted.
I think this gets overlooked in general with Callaway.Normally I’m a huge price point attacker, but Callaway is literally doing things never done in golf clubs before, which is crazy to think about and I’m sure breaks the minds of the ole golf clubs haven’t changed crew haha
Because of that, and the nature of the high end market, I’m good with this. Plus one has to assume we will see some trickle down of the tech in the future years to other irons (like last time) so there’s is always that option to just kick back and wait.
Liking the looks of these. Nice iron set. A little rich for my blood, but that’s ok with me. Options are good, and like others mentioned, would be great for some of the tech to trickle down to other releases.
While this is not really pertaining to the PW, do you think an 8 degree and a 12 degree can both be drivers?

Absolutely they can. But like you said, it's not really the same thing. Some golfers will be longer with the 8-degree, and some will see more distance with the added loft. All else equal, I can't imagine a scenario where anybody would be longer with a 45-degree wedge than the same club in 41*. And unlike the top end of the bag where I'm primarily looking for distance, I need accuracy and consistency in my short irons. Based solely on the lofts, I would expect these new Epics to play about one club longer than my current irons, which is why I opined that the PW is really just a 9-iron in disguise. I could make them work if I had to, but other than trying to impress the others in my foursome, I just don't see the point.
This all has me wondering ... how many casual golfers have any idea what their lofts are? Or maybe a better question, how many think there is a standard lofting system for irons? I know when I first started golfing, I did. Needless to say, my first set of jacked irons (Cobra S2 Max) were a real eye-opener for me. They also created some gapping issues, which I will be careful not to repeat.
Has anybody actually tried the SteelFiber new shafts?
The graphite is the Tensei. Im wondering if there was some skimming or people saw that?
I noticed that in jmans review I did not know steelfiber was making steak shafts now

Haha at the typo.
They are still graphite in a sense, but its interesting that they are calling them the steel option.
