Equipment notes
Understand loft before comparing distance
Compare the actual specifications, not just the number on the sole.

A 7-iron is not a universal loft
Different models and generations can use different lofts for the same iron number. Check the manufacturer’s specification table and whether it lists standard, strengthened or weakened lofts. Our verified iron lofts identify the reference club.
Static loft is only part of ball flight
The loft stamped on a head is not the same as the loft delivered at impact. Strike, delivery, shaft and ball can all affect the result. Driver loft should be tested against launch and spin, not assigned from height alone.
How Titleist evaluates launch conditions ↗Let the gaps guide the set
Use measured carry to check the transition from irons to wedges and from long irons to hybrids or fairway woods. If two clubs overlap, a different loft or club type may be more useful than another number on the sole.
