Hook DeLoft

I took a demo Callaway iron to the course last week. The loft was supposed to be 30 degrees. It seemed to me that it was launching a little higher and flying a little shorter than I expected. When I took it back to the shop, I told the owner about my observations. He then measure the loft of the iron. It was 32 degrees instead of 30. However, this was a demo iron that people had been hitting off a mat in the store and was forged construction. It is certainly possible the lie had been weakened by repeated strikes on the mat. Also possible that it came from the factory 2 degrees weaker than spec'd. I agree that it would be great for mgs to measure the actual lofts of all the irons that are tested.

I'm guessing they are the replacement for the AP1's. I'm betting the irons aimed at better players will be better looking.
