I am in the market for a new set of irons. I have been relegated to perusing internet pics because I am in a no man's land when it comes to actually handling clubs. There's a Dick's about an hour from me but they don't stock what I am interested in. Nobody around here seems to stock anything but game improvement irons. Ok, back to the question. while looking at major manufacturer's sites I could not find a picture of the club at address behind the ball. There are all kinds of pics showing angles you would never see during a shot but not 1 like I am looking for. Maybe I am wrong but wouldn't you like to see clubs pictured like the attached pic? maybe they are and I just haven't unlocked the secrets of the internet.

I would just google what irons you're interested in and see what comes up in "Images".

For examples "Mizuno JPX 900 Tour irons address".

https://www.google.com/search?q=jpx+900+tour+address&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwi7tc2r2YnSAhVDj1QKHVjjDSYQ_AUICigD&biw=1247&bih=617

"PING i200 irons address"

https://www.google.com/search?q=jpx+900+tour+address&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwi7tc2r2YnSAhVDj1QKHVjjDSYQ_AUICigD&biw=1247&bih=617#tbm=isch&q=i200+ping+irons+address

I would check out the websites of the club makers you are interested in. Then find the, "Locate a Fitter". You can usually find a fitter at a golf course. Go see if they will allow you to view the golf clubs.

Even if you went into a better store you would still have the same problem finding what you want. Gi's are the rage. I'm in the Hou area and I have been to every store looking for the Tour 100. I finally found a 5 iron head in a fitters cabinet. Compared to what I have I was not overly impressed and just gave up. 

Try what others have suggested and maybe you could find a demo day nearby.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By xrayvizhen · Posted

      I'm not sure you're calculating the number of strokes you would need to give correctly. The way I figure it, a 6.9 index golfer playing from tees that are rated 70.8/126 would have a course handicap of 6. A 20-index golfer playing from tees that are rated 64/106 would have a course handicap of 11. Therefore, based on the example above, assuming this is the same golf course and these index & slope numbers are based on the different tees, you should only have to give 5 strokes (or one stroke on the five most difficult holes if match play) not 6. Regardless, I get your point...the average golfer has no understanding of how the system works and trying to explain it to people, who haven't bothered to read the documentation provided by either the USGA or the R&A, is hopeless. In any case, I think the WHS as it currently is, does the best job possible of leveling the playing field and I think most golfers (obviously, based on the back & forth on this thread, not all golfers) at least comprehend that.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      Yes it's true in a large sample like a tournament a bunch of 20 handicaps shouldn't get 13 strokes more than you. One of them will have a day and win. But two on one, the 7 handicap is going to cover those 13 strokes the vast majority of the time. 20 handicaps are shit players. With super high variance and a very asymmetrical distribution of scores. Yes they shoot 85 every once in a while. But they shoot 110 way more often. A 7 handicap's equivalent is shooting 74 every once in a while but... 86 way more often?
