  1. What are your thoughts? What is more important to you, a lower ball flight with roll out or a higher ball flight that holds the green?

  2. I can't hit woods for toffee. I'll take a long iron any day of the week for this reason. However as I'm using an original set of Titleist DCI golds I'll go a bit more and use the 3.

    And that’s why there are choices..

    Curious what the loft is for the DCI 3 iron versus the modern 4 irons. The number on the bottom is as useful as shaft flex.

    5W & 7W all the way. This bag is old faves down to the 7 iron. The 34H is "course conditions".

    Don, the lofts on the DCI irons were 21* in the early 90's, 22* in the late 90's amd 21.5 in early 2000. The modern 4 iron in Titleist T series have lowest loft at 20* in the T350 and the highest in the T100 at 23*. The current T350 four iron is stronger than the earliest DCI 3 iron.

    I find that Titleist woods and hybrids are much easier to control. Seven iron my longest iron. I have a TSR1h 20* and GT3h 23* in my bag. The rest is a GT2D 10.75*, GT2F 14.25*, TSR1F 17*. At 79 this really works well for my game. Something my fitter figured out. Mitsubishi Tensei K Blue Regular Shafts. If you work with the right fitter you will get the right results. Just saying.
