LOL, they call it high density, but really its just thicker.
Try golfsmith website they have it.
The reason MOI is better with a fixed ball position is because by making the irons prgressively feel heavier they will tend to bottom out at the same point of the swing arc. People who move the ball back as clubs gets shorter tend to have trouble with MOI matched sets for this reason.
The reason you hit the ball further if you play wedges further back is simply that you deloft the club at impact doing this.
That is a really interesting observation Lyle. I've never had my irons MOI tested, but they were advertised in 1999 as being specifically designed for just that. One of the swing changes in the the lessons I'm taking has me changing ball position in a more classic style (long irons off left heel, then progressivey further back as clubs get shorter). I've always placed the ball in the same spot for all my irons, and narrowed my stance as the clubs got shorter. There are a lot of changes happening right now, so I don't know how the ball-position thing is working relative to my "pseudo-MOI-matched" irons, i.e. whether what I'm being taught is causing problems. I will keep your ideas in mind.
