Default G5 Iron Distance - 2 Weeks Ago

I picked up a set of G5's at a good price. I am having a problem with distance. They are at least one club or more shorter than my old Mizunos. I would like to hear from other G5 users about this. They have the AWT shaft. I have a set of Rifle shafts I can put in if I thought it would help.

Check the lofts. Do the Ping's have weaker lofts? (you can e-mail each company and they will give you the original specs within a day or two) Then check the shafts. Are the the same length? Flex? Same shaft? If no, that is a possible reason also. Clubs with different shafts, and possibly lofts also, will travel different distances.
