I don't play near as much as I used to so I'll definitely take it in some ways. And at a certain distance I'll kind of take any I can get. A 200 yard approach doesn't get closer based on the club. It's still 200 yards. Dispersion might though.
Certain types of "forgiveness" definitely don't show up for me though, like you said. There's some designs that work for me better than others based on my swing characteristics.
Which is why I think I've made up my mind. @Hawk knows I'm a sucker for a good cut away shape to a toe even though he doesn't enjoy it. And I like a strong set progression to help at those longer distances but still be smaller in the short end...
I suppose that is true, that's where we are very different. 190 carry for me is a 5 iron.
And yardage doesn't care what you hit it with
So that is a fair point
