I may need to go to some more forgiving irons for a while. 
I'm struggling to get through my latest episode of "look! I found a new way to screw up my golf swing!" 

Unfortunately for me, my issue is more user error than anything -  and longer, wider soled irons won't be enough to fix it. Gonna take some practice. 

I'm sure I'm not telling you anything you don't know about lofts, but a lot of the modern "distance" or "improvement" irons are lofted lower than what we know as traditional lofts. 
It's roughly one club difference.
The PW will be 44 degrees instead of 48. I've seen some at 42. 
5 irons are coming in at 24 degrees when 3 irons used to be 22. 

Anyway, I think if you're getting great results, who cares? 
I gave up on having an ego about club selection when I ditched my 5 iron for a hybrid. LOL

They call it ‘loft jacking’, and these certainly are. The 7 iron is 27 degrees rather than the traditional 30 degrees. The others are jacked too, but I’m not certain of how much. But the loft isn’t the only advantage. The faces on these things are springier than a trampoline. The ball rockets off the face. 

What’s even better is the price. Wilson is making some damn good clubs now, but since they’re not one of the big 4 club vendors, their prices aren’t jacked like the lofts on these clubs. They’re fantastic value. I was doubting my purchase and even let them sit unopened for a day while I considered returning them in order to buy fitted clubs. Now I’m thrilled with them and since Wilson has already released their newer line of clubs, these are even cheaper.
