Can someone explain what's the reason/logic behind the "reverse offset" design in irons?
I just got an old Japanese ironset (Honma from mid 1990s) and the offset in shorter irons is more than the longer irons. Thanks.

Maybe to encourage a high fade with the short irons.

uttexas, can you elaborate more on your idea? i think you're on to something here because i do hit fades more easily with these irons, especially the 9 iron and 10 iron (PW). i thought the popular belief is that offset would help to reduce the tendency to slice/fade.

mgresh, thanks for the link. but it only explains how offset can be measured differently. I'm not talking about the "offset numbers" on papaer, but I can physically see the short irons have goose-neck offset and the 3-iron has very minimal offset.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      Day 24 9-7 Worked on lower body movement with full swing. Focused on hips. Need to work on setup a bit. Was hoping to get to the short game area today, stayed home and recorded some swings instead. I've come to the conclusion I learn the most with my practice setup at home, just a net and a hitting strip. Overall happy with the progress this week.

      Day 2 (September 7), still with the grip and the medicine ball (using weights).   Still on vacation and really aching to be able to do a full practice the way I'd be able to at home.  Also bought a 1/2" section of pipe today at the hardware store and have been regularly practicing the grip with that too while watching Sunday football with the family.

      Day 1: Worked on feels for wedge swings. Primarily getting everything to move from the top of the backswing in the correct sequence.

      Day 6 (7 Sep 25) - Afternoon pitch session with the 54 and 58 in the backyard. Keys: Alignment - Setup - Smooth swing thru - working on each to be as “automatic” as possible - not mindless, but deliberately repeatable. I have found the precision required to properly execute carries well into the full swings.

      180% is the threshold. But yeah, many of them are close to 200%. Not 120 and 123%. People generate speed differently. I think your speed will come more easily when this stuff gets sorted out. Stay disciplined. Stay on the road. You can't get off exit 74 before you hit exit 32.
