Doug,
You've hit on part of it. I play at mostly muni courses that aren't in the greatest shape, particularly in the fall and spring. That and the ground is either dry and hard or frozen and hard. The heads I used are low center of gravity style heads with a cambered sole.
The other factor is graphite shafts. Due to the condition of the ground I was experiencing some minor pain in my elbows and wrists, mostly wrists. The shafts have softened the blow. This has been my experience anyway, YMMV.

Carl,
Why are they your fall & spring clubs? Does it have something to do with
the sole design & harder turf?
I have been fighting my irons this year since joining a well-watered country
club. The soles are fairly flat from heel to toe, and any kind of a fat hit
results in disaster on the soft moist turf. A big early divot and a lot of
distance lost.
If I play another set of mine, that I otherwise don't like as much, but has
more rocker, I don't suffer anywhere near as much from slightly fat hits.
Th! en again, maybe the different bounce grind is making a difference instead.
Guesses, anyone?
Since I figured it out, I have noticed that "players" clubs are flattish,
but "hackers" clubs have more rocker. OK, I can see that more rocker helps
out hackers like me who might hit fat. But what does a flatter rocker do
for better players? Or maybe I'm just all wet.
