Iron Sessions
An iron set built one club at a time rarely ends up matched as a whole. This session treats the set as a single problem — lie, length, and shaft solved together so every gap between clubs stays even.
The Whole Set, Not One Club at a Time
Every iron in your current bag gets captured first, then compared against demo heads swing by swing. Carry distance, descent angle, and dispersion all get logged per club so the full gapping picture is visible before anything gets built.
Lie angle gets checked under load with an impact board, not just at a static address position — the two rarely match exactly, and the difference between them shows up as push or pull misses that a static reading alone would never catch.
What Actually Changes in an Iron Session
Shaft Weight & Flex
Heavier shafts generally tighten dispersion for faster tempos; lighter shafts raise clubhead speed for players who need it most. Both get tested against your actual carry numbers.
Lie Angle
An upright lie tends to push shots left, a flat lie tends to push right — checked with impact tape under real swing load, then adjusted in half-degree steps.
Length
Longer shafts add theoretical speed but cost strike consistency for most golfers. We test where your carry-per-inch curve actually flattens out.
Head Type
Cavity-back, players' cavity, or blade — each distributes forgiveness differently. Strike pattern on the impact board usually settles this faster than personal preference alone.
Loft Spacing
Modern strong-lofted sets can compress carry gaps between clubs. We check actual gapping rather than assuming the stamped loft numbers hold up.
Grip Size & Texture
Grip size changes hand release through impact just as much in irons as in a driver, and gets checked club by club, not assumed uniform across the set.
What an Iron Session Usually Fixes
A Dead Zone in the Gapping
Two clubs carrying the same distance usually traces back to loft compression or a length jump that isn't producing a real speed change. The carry gap map catches this immediately.
Consistent Push or Pull
A directional miss that shows up on every club, not just one, often points to lie angle rather than swing path — worth checking before assuming it's a mechanics issue.
Thin or Fat Contact Low in the Set
Longer, heavier shafts in the wrong flex frequently show up as inconsistent strike on the hardest-to-hit clubs in the bag first.
Distance That Doesn't Match Effort
If every club feels like maximum effort for below-average carry, a lighter shaft or different head design can restore speed without changing your swing at all.
