So for the last 3 years I’ve been playing “Power Spec” or “Strong” Lofted Irons ( Bridgestone JGR Hybrid Irons and Rogue X) and I’ve built my bag around them. Just for giggles I’ve been looking at other irons that are almost a club difference in loft and by testing the same difference in distance.
As an example, a Big Bertha 7i Iron goes the same distance as my Rogue X 8i. The loft between them is 1.5° (31.5° in the Rogue 8i vs 30° in the BB 7i).
So how do I look to replace my Rogue X irons?
Try to find a 7i to 7i match on Distance?
Accept that there is no exact match, my 7i is now my 8i and add an Iron or Hybrid to the top end the set.
I’m I caught in a “Power Spec Iron” world and never to come out of it??
Maybe I wait until Callaway has a replacement to the Rogue X Irons!? @Dnevs has said on a couple of interviews that 50% of Callaway Rogue Iron sales are X Irons, so I can’t see them not replacing them.
How have others dealt with an Iron evaluation between sets when there was a difference in lofts?
