Are these irons forged? Do they have more of a "springlike face" in the longer irons such as the 4-6 iron? This has been tried before back in the 80's and their is a set of clubs that are out right now that have had a pretty response in facing the problem of proper gaps for the single length irons/ Their lie angle is similar and they are forged in the 8-SW while the 5-7 irons are of two metals and they have more of a "springlike face". I would be curious if anyone has tried these irons and with what results.

Roger,
These are cast from 431 stainless steel. The proper distance gapping was accomplished in this set by the loft and no need for expensive materials in the face.

the 8 iron thru loft wedge appear to be almost standard for regular clubs. how do you adjust for the longer shaft?

Gerald,
The head weight is lighter than a normal 8-wedge or the same weight as a 7-iron.

Are there instructions on how to cut the shafts to the 37" length?

Tip trim and make the length as they were all 7-irons.

How did you come up with the 37" length for all golfers? What would a women's length be and why?
Question by: Caleb on Sep 20, 2016, 11:14 AM
Caleb,
The head weight is the same as a 7-iron so we recommend 7-iron length. Everyone will have a different interpretation of what standard length is. For example our standard for men with steel is 37" and with graphite it is 37.5" so that it creates a normal swingweight. For women it is 1" less.
Now, if you happen to be tall and use a conventional set that your 7-iron happens to be 37.75" and that length fits you to a tee), then you would make all the irons in the set that length.

What are the manufacturing tolerances for loft & lie? Can I assume the loft and lie are exactly as specifications for each head?
For example, if I pay to have each head's lie at 2* flat can I expect each head's lie to be exactly 60.5* ?
Thanks

Bill,
Manufacturing tolerances are +/- 1º. If you do pay to have them bent, we adjust according to the spec and not the "as-cast" lie. So if by chance the head was 1º flat, we would only bend another 1º flat to reach the require 2º flat lie (60.5º).

Are there any recommended alterations to club length when using graphite shafts?
Question by: Jack on Sep 25, 2016, 4:33 PM
Jack:
In most cases you may have to make the iron 1/2" longer to achieve the same swingweight as a steel shaft unless you use a tip weight as a way to increase head weight. There are some shafts that are heavier and have a lower balance point allowing you to make them the same length as you would steel.
