I bought a set of these iron heads new on ebay today. Does anyone have the specs? Mostly loft for my wedge gapping and hybrid/iron gapping. Hosel size for shaft choices too. Any other info is welcome too, they just looked too beautiful in the black finish to pass up. Thanks.
Big jump in head weights from 8 to 9 iron?
Going back to 2000, 2001 on the HP Model. Lofts are: 2-18 deg., 3-21, 4-24, 5-27, 6-31, 7-35, 8-39, 9-43, PW-49, SW-55. Lie angle s are: 59 deg. on the 2 iron, with 1/2 deg. increments down through the PW (63 deg.) and 1 deg. progression to the SW (64). Offset is .125″ on all heads in the set. Bore size is .370″. Bounce angle is 3 deg. 2 though 9, 4 deg. on the PW and 12 deg. on the SW. Head weights are: 2 iron-231g, 3-238, 4-245, 5-252, 6-259, 7-267, 8-275, 9-289, PW-295, SW-300.

Thank you!
The explanation I get is that these were not universal hosels and there were no discrete flex parallel tip shafts at the time, so when you cut the shafts to the shorter lengths the shaft weight got light enough that the head weights needed to progress a little heavier to make swing weight. We don’t do that now even though there are still parallel single blanks that you cut, but there are also discrete length parallel and we have the universal hosel on most of our irons. These were designed by Ralph.
