My first 7-iron was 40º. Almost all of them were then.
I happen to prefer weak lofts, but nobody else seems to, so that's that.
I can't build a factory and make my own clubs.
When I took up golf, five-iron was a synonym for "mashie."
It certainly doesn't mean that anymore.
Now, if it means anything at all, it means fifth club from the top after driver, fairway wood, and two hybrids.
I've come to live with the jacked lofts because I have no choice if I want to take advantage of modern technology.
I don't have to respect the thinking behind the new numbering protocols, but I do have to live with it.
