I decided to waste some time last Friday at a golf shop and see what's out there for when I do decide to replace my current set of irons and hit the 2016 Apex Pro, MP18, MP18MMC and Wilson V6.
All were lovely, but the MP18MMC was the clear winner it seemed, in terms of distance and launchability. It had roughly 10 yards over the other clubs so I was thinking it was a slam dunk, until I looked into the specs and noticed the 7i is 2 degrees stronger than the others. Doing some quick googling and youtubing I noticed the same tale across various videos where the reviewers were seeing the same results.
So my question is: how important is the loft, really?
When I replace my current shovels of irons, I don't want power bats, I want something that is more true to a beautiful player's iron. That being said, should I be concerned about a 'true to form' loft vs. a stronger loft? Or how does this really get factored into fittings, having never gone through a formal one (but it's on my list of things to do)?
