The strongest-lofted iron among mid-handicap irons is Callaway Paradym Ai Smoke, at a 28° 7-iron — ahead of Mizuno JPX923 Hot Metal Pro at a 28.5° 7-iron and Srixon Women's ZXi4 Irons at a 28.5° 7-iron.

All 237 irons with a 7-iron loft are ranked below, along with 9 more lists: weakest-lofted 7-iron, most offset at the 7-iron, least offset at the 7-iron, widest loft range, narrowest loft range, most upright lie, flattest lie, longest, shortest.

The irons whose published loft, offset and length put them in this handicap band — a DERIVED grouping from the specs, never a marketing claim off a product page, and the classifier declines rather than guessing where a category publishes nothing to read.

Each figure is ranked from both ends — strongest and weakest, most and least — over the same clubs, and each list counts only the clubs that publish that figure, so the totals differ between them. Loft, lie, offset and bounce are fitting specifications — a stronger loft is a longer-carrying club of the same name, not a better one, and neither end of any list here is the good end. How this is worked out.

The published loft of the 7-iron, the row every iron spec table centres on. Lower is stronger, and a stronger loft is a longer-carrying club of the same name — not a better one, and not a longer set: the 28° 7-iron and the 34° 7-iron are different numbered clubs sold under the same number. Models publishing no 7-iron row are left off.

When they launched

Model year, where the record carries one — 98 of the 237 in this cut. A model year is when a club launched, not when it was designed or when it left the shops. Each year with enough clubs behind it links to that year's own boards.
