What to check before using the reference
- The US-site timeline labels this head 1996-1997.
- The linked chart lists a 34° 7-iron and 47° pitching wedge.
- The source range is 1 through SW; it describes listed specifications, not the contents of every retail or used set.
- The chart lists a 1-iron and then leaves the 2-iron row blank, so no 2-iron figure is given.
- The chart labels its 52° wedge MW; the label is kept as printed.
Checking a club you own? These are the maker's published figures for an original build, not measurements of your club, and a source date is not the year it was made. Bending, reshafting or a hosel adjustment changes loft, lie and length, so identify the head by its own markings and have a fitter measure it when its history is unclear.
