I have never owned Callaway irons, I probably associated them mostly with their original iron lines which were SGI and stronger lofts. Back before Callaway existed, iron lofts across most brands were fairly standard into the early 80’s. As Callaway entered the game and TM started playing along with vanishing loft syndrome in the quest for distance, the industry changed. Even Ping has started reducing lofts recently and they were probably the last ones to do so. It makes sense that their clubs for high level golfers would dial back the lofts a bit and I am glad to see it to be honest. I just was not aware as I normally compare iron sets by the PW loft as I know the PW lofts on most of sets that I have owned.
That makes sense, probably the “iron” that it makes the most sense to know the degree on. But yeah even going from my TM 320’s to these, but have pretty close to standard lofts, and I can honestly say I’ve never played a sting set, and I’ll never really want to I don’t think, I don’t really see the draw in them. The way I see it, I know how far I should hit a standard set with stuff shafts, and I don’t really plan on changing that with equipment
