New Irons vs My Old Irons

[nbar]

I am buying new irons and wondered if they would give me more distance since I have lost it over the years. In comparing my Callaway X16 Steelhead to the new Rogue X the answer would be yes. Here’s why, my 6 iron as 30 degrees of loft where the Rogue has 24 degrees. In other words my 4 iron has the same loft as the Rogue X 6. The standard Rogue 6 has 26 which would be my 4 and half iron. Both shaft lengths are almost the same. Now that is a major difference. So the new clubs get the distance by much stronger lofts. I’m all for it if the new irons are more accurate as well. Any thoughts?

I’ve played the Steelheads but never the Rogue. Technology wise only you can decide that. Perhaps the Rogue will have more forgiveness but let’s face it; forgiveness is not something the golf gods give out very often. You really should compare in person and see if you gain any benefit from changing to them.

That I am doing today. I know they are much lighter and lofts are much stronger so hope they help.

Well they are 15-20 yards longer and much more forgiving. Tried a 6 iron today I had lost that 15-20 yards over time, age will do it to you but these clubs brought it back almost to where I was. I will move to a new set soon. For all those who have older clubs you might want to try the new clubs. 😎
