When I've looked at component catalogue's some vary by 58 - 63 (5 deg) or 57 - 64 (7 deg) from the 2 Iron through to PW.
For the bulk of the players you fit 3 Iron to PW


Lie angle of 2 iron 57*, 3 iron 58*, 4 iron 59*, 5 iron 60* as you can see each iron going up in iron number adds one degree of lie angle. TILL YOU GET TO 64* 9 iron and all wedges are the same lie angle and length as the 9 iron. UNLESS YOU BUILD THE WEDGES PROGRESSIVELY SHORTER.  The key is that for each half inch in length reduction the lie angle increases by one degree.  Keep this in mind when you lengthen or shorten clubs from "standard length" of 37.5" steel shafted 5 iron and 38" graphite shafted 5 iron. YOU MUST HAVE A LOFT/LIE MACHINE!  And when clubs are lengthened or shortened you will have to adjust the lie for the golfer. No, you can't just adjust the length because of the asterisk on the spec. chart for the heads that says *+/- 1 degree (note small print). Trust no catalog -- invest in loft/lie machine. Don't waste your money on a machine to measure 'cause you still need a loft/lie machine to bend and the loft/lie machine also measures.

Check head weight progression, freq. match shafts, spline shafts, weigh grips, weigh shafts, calculate and check swing weights, install prosoft inserts if desired, use the same length of grip tape, polish the ferrules, assemble with nothing less than perfect craftsmanship, and adjust loft and lie.

Next customer please. Hey you, wait your turn! Clubs will be ready tomorrow. Will that be cash, check or charge?  THANK YOU!
