Especially if you are talking about today's cavity backed irons, as well as, hybrids. I think that depends on your swing speed. Certainly for those with average speed and/or no real compression, todays irons are significantly more user friendly than those of 5-10 years ago or longer. Those with good compression and/or high swing speeds may fight ballooning with the newer irons - mostly, IMO, due to the grooves, and somewhat due to the moving of the center of gravity back (in effect, making a lagging clubhead a built in feature). I like to test new gear in a headwind to test if too much spin is going to be a factor. __________________ "Support the On Plane Swinging Force in Balance" "we have no friends, we have no enemies, we have only teachers" Simplicity buffs, see 5-0, 1-L, 2-0 A and B 10-2-B, 4-D, 6B-1D, 6-B-3-0-1, 6-C-1, 6-E-2 EdZ View Public Profile Send a private message to EdZ Find all posts by EdZ
