Stronger Lofts - is this a Good or Bad Thing

I dont think the argument is whether the lofts are OK or not.  Who cares.  This being MGS, at least a subset of folks object to the marketing of the clubs. ie. "Cut the BS, we know the distance increase is just because you strengthened the lofts and lengthened the shafts", not because of the <insert> technology.

Yes.

This has been done quite a few times on YouTube by several different channels, this is just the latest one I’ve seen. They go to great lengths to deliver the club at the same speed and dynamic loft. However I know it won’t change anyone’s already established beliefs regarding club tech, loft and distances.

 

“We don’t have a robot.”  Ultimately, I think if we want to know the differences in clubs that have the same lofts but different designs, we would need a robot swinging the clubs at the same speed with the same shafts. Mark was swinging clubs with different shafts and he’s human. And that brings in too many variables.

I'm going to turn this around a bit and not make it about stronger lofts, but is it HARDER to hit stronger lofted irons than the standard loft?

I'm thinking that it is. If my loft for a 7i is 31* it's almost a club drop for a game improvement stronger lofted iron, and no matter how much I like the irons if my weakness is long irons then certainly a lot of the newer game improvements irons would not be a benefit. 

I do though understand the benefit and tech of game improvement irons but is the tech enough to overcome my long iron weakness?

The loft change is a product of the club’s geometry. It’s designed to be easier to hit as a result of MOI / weight location. 
 

It should be the same if not easier.
