You are holding two different clubs that happen to share a number stamped on the sole. The 2004 model probably sits around 34 degrees of loft. This year&rsquo;s version, from most major manufacturers, is closer to 28. That is not a rounding error. It is a six-degree gap, roughly the difference between a 7-iron and a 5-iron a generation ago, and it explains more about your bag than almost any other single fact in equipment.</p>
