There are probably many strong lofted iron you have never heard of as several of them are sold in Japan. In most of these cases the heads have to be stronger lofted to offset the additional weight that is placed low in the head's design to normalize trajectory. This is only possible through the usage of very lightweight materials reserved for the face such as titanium or specialty maraging steel. Wayne:

It is rather complicated and not sure I can explain it where it will make any sense. Most ladies clubs are built to shorter length which will "effectively" have a flatter lie even though the lie of the club may not have changed. However, there is no substitute for dynamic lie fitting regardless if you are a male or female golfer. Don:

I would think they should be 2 degrees or more flatter in the lie. If you go to fitting charts such as Pings you will find them flater assuming that the women are a couple of inches shorter and with shorter arms. Can you explain this?
