Here are some of my thoughts on a iron build.
IMO: For me I think a lot of iron shot control can be gained with a set built 1/4 inch short. This being 37.75 5 iron. For me I have found the control to be easier for many reasons.
I know wrist to floor measurements usually dictate length, IMO this set up works well for golfers who play std length 38 and measure to this fit (so this is not for everyone)
Here is a example of this build: S300 shaft 132g at 38 inch long, SW is D2, now build it shorter at 37.75 with a 45g grip attain D2 SW, yet lower overall weight by approx 4-6g and have the iron shaft shorter for more control, and slightly less flat swing plane. IMO for me I have better shot control 1/4 inch short.
Many player build their driver 43.5 to 44.75 for control...why not the irons?
