My son, who is an assistant professional, plays Callaway X Forged. He says that they are the best irons he has ever played in terms of feel and ball flight. When I read him your letter, he suggested that the probable reason for the distance difference between your Miura irons and your cast Callaway irons is that each set has different specs. Although he has not researched this, he suggested that your Callaways might have stronger lofts and lighter shafts. He also suggested that you compare the shaft lengths of your two sets. Good luck in your search for the set that is best for you.

I'm new to on-line discussion so I didn't include this quote from grantc79 showing what I was commenting on.

From your contribution, it is clear that you are either much more knowledgeable about the golf swing than I am, or much smarter (I assure you that I'm not being sarcastic). I bought TGM in 1980, and spent many hours in the next couple of years trying to figure out what Mr. Kelly was trying to say. I think that I learned some things from the book, but its structure was infuriating. I have come to three conclusions about this book: (1) This book can be of no help to the vast majority of golfers, including low handicap amateurs and professionals (2) Mr. Kelly's mechanical analysis of the components of the swing are probably largely accurate, but I suspect that it is not totally accurate (and no, I can't say what is wrong) (3) Mr. Kelly would have needed a very good and knowledgeable editor if he wanted TGM to be any more than a major curiosity in golfing literature

Louis Oosthuizen has the best golf swing I have ever seen, and I saw Sam Snead in person in 1961. Francesco Molinari has a preey good swing as well.
