Even though they can be matched by name, I don’t think too many customers are mixing and matching, rather getting one or the other. The XP905 hybrid may be actually a better match with the offset irons in my opinion.

I am probably thinking too much. For me, I am more comfortable looking at face forward designs compared to offset designs. However, if it helps me improve I am sure I could learn to like it! This leads me to my next dilemma. How do you make the transition from progressive face hybrids to offset irons? For example, the progressive face of the Acer XDS Wide Sole 6 hybrid has an onset of 18mm and the Acer XDS Wide Sole 7 Iron has an offset of 6mm. I read that they can be mixed and matched, but do you use a much different swing for the two?

Remember, golf is often a game of opposites. We swing inside/out to draw the ball and we hit down on the ball to get it up. I am not sure if you have ever had the opportunity to hit a high-lofted #15 wood. These have a tremendous amount of face progression (FP). For example our Dynacraft Avatar #15W has a FP of @ 1.2″. Compare that to the matching #3W @0.65″ and there is a little over 1/2″ difference in FP. If you like to keep the same ball position relative to front heel, then the #15 wood needs to be placed further back in the stance and naturally creates a forward hand press. If an offset version was available, then the golfer would not have to move the clubhead back and keep a more neutral shaft angle that a sweeper might have. Hopefully I worded that correctly.
