That said, if the so called game improvement irons were really that much better, then wouldn't it stand to reason that the average national handicap should have decrease significantly?

Magic43,
For what it's worth I think this is an EXTREMELY GOOD POINT. Big drivers, high tech shafts, large sweet-spots, better greens keeping etc. etc. But on average nobody's gettin' better.
I have blades. I'm a club shorter. But what difference does it make. It's just a number on the bottom of a club. What if the put the actual loft number on the irons instead of pw-3. "Well yeah Dick . . . I hit my 32 degree iron there." What's the big deal?
My eye has adjusted to the smaller head size. Blades just LOOK LIKE REAL GOLF. Back in the day you didn't have a choice about buying the big waffle iron and gravy boat driver.
