There has been no major advancement to the middle of the face. The center has been at the limit for years. Peter Finch and Daniel Berger aren't exploring the same real estate as I am.
Like I said, It works out for me, since I can now get $600 drivers for $50 in the clearance bin.smacks of greed? should car companies stop making cars every year? or tech companies stop making new computers or cell phones or smart watches or flat screen tvs?
no one is forcing you to upgrade your car every year, or even saying you should.
no one is forcing you to buy a new cell phone every year, or even saying you should.

there's a pattern here...
There is a local golf store that tosses all manner of

That said, like I said, the Karsten Solheim quote really kind of tells the story.
By the way, are you driving it 759 yards yet? Because every year, for the last 20 years, these companies told us we were going to drive it another 10-20 yards with one of the 58 drivers that came out each year for the last 20 years.

Center strikes are influenced more by skill and fit than the head size. The shaft plays a large part in moving the strike location around.Swing some smaller club heads and see if you have more center strikes than you do with over sized heads.

I have. I've shown the unique ability to hit the toe with 100% accuracy, regardless of the club size.Have you swung smaller head size clubs and compared the strikes to larger size club heads ?
There was a statement I read about Karsten Solheim. It was something like: "I want to make a set of irons you can play for life", his grandson wants to make a set you can play for a year."
Plus If I want a $600 driver for $50, all I have to do is wait a year a two after it came out and I am good to go.
Personally I found the greatest irons ever made. And they were produced about 20 years ago. My MacGregor 1025C V-Foil forged. They are purely flawless in every way, for me at least. And pretty as heck to look at.
Needs vs wants
Me personally I'd rather play more golf than throw money into equipment and only able to afford less golf

This just isn't true. None of it actually.
Were there years where it was said? Sure, but certainly not every year, and very little anymore.
There's more to it than just lofts. With some of the low cg placements, balls would sail into orbit if the loft wasn't strengthened.Seeing as how a seven iron will soon be the four iron of old, ( now it's a solid five) when do we as consumers push back? I like what what Ping is doing with the "retro lofts" in some GI and SGI offerings, but most OEMs only offer sane lofts/lengths in "better players" clubs.

I get that...but how much lower can the CG go in irons vs the distance chase/marketing? Most of us don't need to hit a 200 yard 7 iron. Of course, that's if we're playing off the proper tees to begin with.There's more to it than just lofts.

Those of you talking about YouTube reviews and how they are not representative. Try the average golfer. He is a 10 or 12 handicap I think with 100-105 driver swing speed. His reviews are usually excellent and a lot more relatable as he isn’t a pro golfer.
It can actually go lower with the use of heavier materials such as tungsten. The movement of weight is one of the greatest finds in golf club design due to modern materials in terms of easier to launch golf clubs, spin altering and forgiveness.I get that...but how much lower can the CG go in irons vs the distance chase/marketing?

Yes. The standard set used to be 4-PW, but given the stronger lofts, I am sure that will change.Seeing as how a seven iron will soon be the four iron of old, ( now it's a solid five) when do we as consumers push back?

I think that is the average HI for those that keep a HI. I believe the average score is still around 100.Quick google search shows the avg male HC as 16.1.
I don’t know anyone that’s better than that that doesn’t keep one. I know a lot more golfers that I know don’t have a HC. Most are horrible. I’d imagine that if everyone played to the ROG and kept a HC it would be closer to 25-30 on Avg. maybe slightly less as there is an upper limit. My cousin can’t break 140 to save his life so he’s a 36.x but in reality plays more like a 60-70.
Has fun though and keeps pace.
How in the world is that known minus those that keep a handicap since nobody is required to turn in scores?I think that is the average HI for those that keep a HI. I believe the average score is still around 100.
