Hey, curious on the lofts for the TS3.5. Why are they so different than the TS1-IM, TE+, and TS3? The others are roughly 25 degrees, but the TS3.5 is 23 and adds a needed wedge?

Britt has provided an excellent response to your question. What I would add is that, as I get older (I am now 76, and still swing a 5 or 6 iron between 80-83 MPH, but I was up in the low 90s until about 7 or 8 years ago), I first dropped the 5-iron from any “modern lofted” iron set, and lately I SOMETIMES even drop the 6-iron if the set’s 7-iron loft is in the 27* – 27.5* loft range. With my Maltby TS1 and TS1 IM irons, I do not find a need to drop the 6-iron, and sometimes add in a TS2 5-iron, but I don’t find a 20* – 21.5* 5-iron and a 23* to 24* 6-iron to be very useful for me, even with a reasonably decent mid-iron clubhead speed.
