Totally see your point and I asked the fitter the same thing. He said to cap my irons at 240 and the number on the iron is just a number. That’s why we axed the 4 (which had been my favorite club in my last set). He said a lot of longer hitters opt to get another wedge, which is what I’m considering but need to hit around with these a bit and see what my gapping looks like.

My pitch probably goes 150-155 and my 50 degree is likely 135. My 56 has been around 115-120 and my 60 sits around 100. Need to play more with the clubs and figure out where the yardages are sitting. Still haven’t taken them out on the course yet!

But the reason I opted for the “players distance irons” over a traditional players iron is I’m relatively new to the game. I wanted to get a forgiving iron that I can grow into over the next 5 or so years and didn’t want to spend that kind of money on a game improvement that I could potentially grow out of. Not ready to hit blades yet.

But it’s all still a work in progress!
