Has anyone gamed the Epic Forged irons? Obviously they have strong lofts. The 7 iron has a 27-degree loft. By comparison, I just bought MP20 HMBs. The 7 iron in that set is a 32-degree loft. The HMB have 120g Nippon shafts. The Cally had the Mitsubishi AV Silver graphite shaft which is much lighter at (I believe) 60g. The Cally 7 iron is a little over 1/2 inch longer. I took the Cally's on the course (demo) to compare.
Based on the specs, one would think the added 5 degrees of loft on the Cally 7 iron, and extra shaft length would result in roughly 12-15 additional yards, but the Cally was more like 25 yards longer. And during hitting, the misses on the HMB were more pronounced in terms of lost yardage. The Cally's distance on mishits seemed to cost maybe 5-7 yards where I lost 10-15, or more, with the HMB.
Added to the above, I've played the HMBs for 3 rounds now and can't seem to get flush feeling shots. Every shot feels slightly "clunky" and labored which is weird because I have a set of Wilson Staff FG-51's from 1991 and the shots feel far better, even off-center shots.
So I'm curious if others game the Epic Forged.
