Just ordered AP1 5-9 irons and the 5 iron has a loft of 24 degrees and my two hybrids (816 H1)currently that replaced my 3 and 4 iron have lofts of 21 & 23 degree respectively. My questions are: should I be replacing my 23 degree with a 19 and dropping loft to 18? What would be the difference in distance for the same loft of iron and hybrid? I am confused with all the information on the web. I currently carry a 5 wood that is set to 17 degrees if that helps.
