Product Questions
The Acer XS iron was designed for the broadest range of golfers, so I wouldn't have any qualms suggesting it from our line up. As far as shafts, the Apollo Shadow A/L steel is the lightest and most flexible of the offerings available. However, I would still tip trim according to spec to offset the head weights as well as not create unusual grip sizing.
For this iron, the blade length is 82.5 mm and sole width of 17 mm. The Pro model is 77.5 mm and 17 mm respectively.
We are looking at about 10/17 for their arrival.
The standard lengths shown are with steel. We typically make the graphite shafted irons 1/2" long to account for swingweight. You should be fine with our standard lengths with a 120g steel shaft. Below 90g might be another matter.
Their rating system will favor any club with a low center of gravity and one with a longer blade length. They probably would not want to measure our models as it would be an endorsement to purchase our products.
They are bendable up to +/- 2 degrees from the published spec.
It all has to do with making some variety for different course conditions as well as how players hit the ball. Not factoring in sole width and sole radii (which is a whole other topic), lower bounce measurements would be better for tighter course conditions as well as a more level angle of attack. The latter is the reason you see less bounce in longer irons and more in the scoring clubs. But higher bounce isn't necessarily a handicap issue, it should be on a case by case basis.
It is not epoxied in place rather there is an adhesive on the back of the emblem that holds it in place. It is possible to remove using a small pocket knife and lifting from an edge. If you do remove the emblem, then you will have to figure out how to remove the adhesive that will stick to back of the cavity.
Does the face have Flex Technology to help increase ball speed or maybe higher MOI?
These don't have the "flex face" as you might see on the Dynacraft Prophet CB or Power Play Warp Speed irons. As far as lofts in 2000, they really weren't much different. I checked one of our older catalogs from 2000 and there are examples of irons with identical lofts as the Acer XS to ones that were weaker by as much as 5 degrees on certain higher lofted irons.
We don't offer the service of pre-bending for loft, but yes, if the lie can be adjusted, so can the loft by 2º from the published spec. Note when you do so you alter the offset and bounce of the iron or wedge.
