Cameron,

Our Pro-line, Blackstone, and Regal irons are the same weight with the same shafting. Regardless of club length, the clubheads and grips weigh the same. Obviously a longer shaft will weigh slightly more than a shorter one but it is an insignificant difference in a golf swing. Bear in mind that you are not holding the club straight out in front of you, but rather, letting it fall downwards in an arc through gravity. The only time that a club will feel heavy is when you are swinging with your arms which is exactly what you do not want to do.

Personally, I would not play a round of golf without my 59º wedge which I use regularly. By the same token, I will use my 19º iron quite often as well. My set is a driver, #3 wood, and 19º through 59º irons. I do not need the 17º Pro-line iron as I get all the distance I need from my 19º iron.

Thanks for the advice David, the 59 degree club it is.

I also like the idea of building up strength with the shoulder and waist rotation and thus am ok with having a higher swing weight reference for the 38.5 inch clubs. I’m am strong at about 6’6” and 112kg. Do you butt weight the clubs?

You mentioned that the proline, blackstone and regal are all the same weight but isn’t the regal slightly heavier in the head (265 vs 273gm)?

I also found reading your “common sense approach to golf” pdf a fantastic learning experience!

Apart from the 30 day return warranty (and a little wear) are there any quality control difference between the used/demo clubs and the new ones? I only ask because I doubt that I’d return them and am sometimes a bit hesitant about buying secondhand clubs in general, only because I sometimes feel that second hand clubs may have been returned or put up for resale due to them being a bit off the mark?
