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.

    • 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.
