Doesn't anybody remember the Spalding TopFlight Irons from back in the early 80's. They came from the 1 iron up to and including the PW. They were normal sized iron hears that were cast just like woods. My partner in every Member / Guest played them and in the 14 years that we played in it we were never out of the money. I loved the PW and during the practice rounds I hit it every chance i got, during pratice rounds just about anything goes.

Dave,
Thanks for the thoughts. I have only played with the guy once and he
says he wants all woods. I was thinking of adding a 50 degree PW, SW
and maybe LW.
