The idea of selling a matching set of irons began in the 1920s; before that time, even though groups of four or five irons resembling each other were available, the golfer usually assembled a set of irons by selecting individual clubs based on personal preference, often from various makers.

As the 1920s continued to roar, and the game continued to grow in popularity, golf club manufactures (Spalding, MacGregor, Tom Stewart and George Nicoll to name a few) began offering six or seven irons that matched in a set. These matched sets gained momentum with golfers and golf companies alike, and eventually became the numbered sets of irons golfers utilize today.

Our matched set of Precision hickory-shafted irons is modeled from an original 7-piece set of George Nicoll irons. The set includes a Mid Iron, Mid Mashie, Mashie Iron, Mashie, Pitching Mashie, Mashie Niblick, and Niblick (see table below). The face scoring matches the Nicoll set with dot punches giving the irons the authentic look and playability you expect from Louisville Golf. The irons come with a solid hickory shaft turned in Louisville, KY to our exacting specifications. At the time of assembly each shaft is graded, inspected, and finally frequency matched for consistent performance.

#2 – Mid Iron – Loft: 24° loft, Lie: 59.5° lie, Bounce: 2*, Length: 38.75”

These irons are duplicates of an original set of Stewart irons produced late in the hickory era.  They are one of the most playable irons of the hickory era. The weight in the head is concentrated low and in the sole. This helps to more easily launch the ball. The soles are wider which prevents the head from digging in. This is really important on today’s softer golf courses, allowing for a margin of error when striking the ball.  At the time of assembly each shaft is graded, inspected, and finally frequency matched for consistent performance.
