Here are the lofts of the irons in that set.Ī pitching wedge loft is usually between 44-47 degrees, with most golfers using one that comes with their iron set. We've chosen this model as it is a popular iron that suits a wide range of players from low handicappers to game improvers. At the other end of the spectrum the Mizuno JPX912 Hot Metal (more of a distance iron) features a 7-iron with just 29˚.īelow, we have listed the lofts featured in the latest PING G set of irons. This is relatively weak and as such these irons are designed more with distance control rather than pure distance, in mind. To give you an idea, the 7-iron in the Mizuno MP-20 model (a traditional, blade-like iron) is 34˚.

Whilst these lofts might seem a bit low, the construction of the heads is designed to get the ball up in the air easily so, again, stronger lofts offer the potential for more distance.Īs we have already mentioned, lofts vary greatly between iron sets. In our experience a 3 hybrid is usually around 19˚ and a 4 hybrid is around 22˚. They're easier to hit and will launch higher and come down softer on the greens. Most tour players with hybrids in the bag will have them between 18-22 degrees to replace their 2, 3 and 4 irons. There really is no set hybrid loft, with hybrids coming in anywhere from 16 degrees all the way through the bag with some beginners and higher handicaps using hybrid irons.

Hybrids come in a range of different lofts
