I like a slightly shorter driver for accuracy and to compensate for the excessively upright lie angle on many of today's drivers. I also prefer old fashioned weaker lofts to modern stronger ones on my short irons. In the past I've gone 1 or 2º flat on a new iron set, but these
Mizunos did not feel excessively upright in their standard configuration.
As for the fifteen clubs, I'm strictly into recreational golf with friends, not competition.
When I do play in a social tournament, I usually pull the driving iron.
Invariably, I then screw up at least one "safety drive" with a fairway metal before the day is done.
I'm a pretty good fairway metal player, but I like that iron when I'm looking at a scary landing area from the tee.
It's all, like so many things in golf, in my head.
