My father swears by Titleist and I totally understand why. But to each his own and as much as I would love to use Titleist products, I feel that at address the iron's sole looks "funny" to me. Almost curvy and bent. I currently use Ping's irons and am looking to switch to Nike's CCI forged or Callaway's X-Forged.

Does anyone else notice this about Titleist irons?

titliest has a different lie angle than most other irons. When lots of people start playing Titleiest irons, lots of them start pulling shots because they dont get the lie angle correct at address

What's in the bag:

Driver: Adams 9064LS (project RIP Shaft) 9.5 degree
3 Wood: Titleist 909R 14.5 degree
Hybrid 3-iron: 19 degree Tour Professional (bent to 18 degrees)Hybrid 4-iron: 21 degree Tour ProfessionalIrons: Tour X-20 5-PW Project X 6.0 shaftsGap Wedge: Mizuno MP10 52.08 Sand Wedge: Mizuno MP10 58.10 Lob Wedge: Nike 62.06

They're more upright by about a degree or two, yes. Better players tend to have the club shaft slightly more upright than not-as-good players.

I'm still not sure what the OP is talking about - the leading edge? You can't see the sole at address, after all, and he hasn't even told us what model iron he's talking about.

not sure what you mean by OP. yeah I meant the leading edge. I've noticed this on my father's clubs(don't know the model) and also on the 755.
