That's just one of the advantages of cavity back irons. No?

Why not just make a HUGE iron with a sweet spot as big as a normal iron. Then grind away everything that's not sweet spot. Problem solved without loss of distance!

In the bag:
FT-iQ 10° driver, FT 21° neutral 3H
T-Zoid Forged 15° 3W, MX-23 4-PW
Harmonized 52° GW, Tom Watson 56° SW, X-Forged Vintage 60° LW
White Hot XG #1 Putter, 33"

Hah, interesting idea, but the percentage I hit the ball pure is so low that I rarely run the risk of being 10 yards too long.

Well, one option would be to practice so that you always strike the ball right in the sweet spot; but a far easier option would be to deaden the sweet spot so that those purely struck shots (you know, the 10 percenters) only go as far as your normally struck shot when you are ½ inch toward the toe or the heel.

Awesome!

It may sound silly, but I'm pretty sure this is what variable face thickness is in general, which is used on nearly all modern woods. When you have a COR limit, they just make a hotter face, and reduce the COR in the center by making it thicker. With a COR limit in effect on golf clubs these days, it's pretty much a no brainer.
