You all are forgetting about the precision tests done by bhoese on the Nike, R11 and Max mid-irons!
To summarize briefly his results:
Dinged shot carry distance variance Front-To-Back and Left-To-Right
FTB LTR
Max iron 22 feet 16 to 17 feet
R11 iron 22 feet 13 to 14 feet
Nike iron 16 feet 6 feet
More like an Oval of Precision I'd call it.
Keep in mind the tests were done on a limited number of shots so the results are not statistically carved in granite.
