Srixon 585’s 5 - AW and a U85 4 iron. Wanted to split and get the 7-AW in 785’s but figured a little more forgiveness doesn’t hurt. Get distance and still feels great.

I also have a U85 4 iron. I call it the potato cannon, because it absolutely launches the ball. I love it.

I wish manufacturers put the loft on every iron like your 4 iron. Especially now since many brands’ 7 iron is lofted like a 5 iron of another brand.

But what if you bent them strong or weak? After you own the clubs do you really care about the number or the expected carry when you hit it?

Good point...I think iron number is just a good reference for what carry distance you can hit a particular iron. Someone’s 150 yard carry iron may be a 8 or 9 versus my 7 iron (actually now my 8 with these clubs...gained 10 yards across the board for each iron)
1
But then the secret to why one 7 iron goes 20 yards further than another would be revealed
1
I stamped mine with the loft so I can compare more easily, and also so I learn what the lofts are.

Thats what each relation should be about

Looks like a ring to me

What cool bag is this? How's the storage?
It’s a Bennington Quite 9 Organizer Lite carry bag and I love it. It’s a little on the heavier side for a carry stand bag but I use a push cart most of the time but can still carry it if I want. It eliminates iron bag chatter, protects each iron, and the individual slots make grabbing any club you want super easy. Plenty of storage and it has a separate side slot for my putter. Only caveat is this particular model is not available anymore in the US and only sold in Europe. Got lucky and found an older model on Offer Up for $40 in still perfect new condition.

Well I know what bag I want now.
Bummer they're not sold in the US.

Think “I_like_your_pooper” user (got a chuckle out of that user name) is looking for the carry bag and not the cart version.
You can still get the cart bag with the organizer system in the US but not too many stores carry this brand. Was random luck cause I wanted the double shoulder strap carry with pop out stand legs and went to a lot of stores trying to find. You might get lucky and find one on eBay or OfferUp. Just got a FairwayPro divot simulator mat on OfferUp for a steal since I didn’t want to pay $250 for a new one.
OK checked Amazon and they're there! Spoke too soon, they had the Quiet 9 Lite cart bag, not carry. The search continues!
