My name is Paul. And I'm a golfaholic.

This just in !!
The new OEM standard for loft on a 6i is.... 28*!!
The TM Burner 6i is 27*!!!!
Add in a C.O.R factor on some models.
Do ya think they are targeting the Baby Boomers who used to hit a 31* 6i 165 yrd. 20 yrs. ago ?

LOL - I think it's a combo of that and rackin you in for more $ on wedge sales and padding egos.
I seriously don't get it. Irons aren't about hitting the ball long distance - they're about hitting the ball the same distance all the time...get the goldarned ego out of it and make iron lofts that make sense. What do we have as a result - a 3 iron, a club 85% of golfers can't hit, which now is lofted like a 1 iron, which not even God can hit, so golfers need to buy 2 or three hybrids. Next, we end up with a ridiculous spread of lofts in the wedges because pitching wedges are now 44 - 46*, so you pretty much need three wedges. I swear, it is almost to the point where it feels like we're buying a full set of 8 irons to use 3 or 4 and then buy a bunch of other clubs to make them usable - lol.If you're gonna walk on thin ice, ya might as well dance.
