Scratch Golf Iron owners

[ChristopherMcDonald]

Hey guys hoping someone who has had both can maybe chime in on this for me. I cannot for the life of me seem to get a photo of the Scratch AR-1 irons. I have the EZ-1's and while they feel sublime, there's just too much offset for me and it throws off my entire swing. The shorter irons is where I noticed the offset the most, seemed almost to have more offset than the longer irons. 

Has anybody owned a set of both and can confirm the AR-1's have less offset? Bonus points if you have a picture from address (with a ball ideally) of the short irons.

... Here is my Scratch Custom 48* PW:

Here you go. 
 

Copper dipped Scratch Ez-1 9 iron (44* loft) vs a raw NCW Ar-1 (43* loft). The Ar-1 definitely has less offset, even more so in the PW. 
 

My NCW set features all three Scratch stock head designs, but I carried the offset of the Ar-1s all the way from GW to 4 iron.

I can remember lurking here over a decade ago and Scratch was (is) so beloved. What ever happened to them? I assume the constraints of being a smaller club maker had a hand in it, but boy do I wish I could have laid my hands on their work at the time.

Long story short, all the major players in Scratch now exist as part of National Custom Works

Thanks boys. Looks like those are WAY more what I'm looking for.



The hunt begins..

EZ's are officially up for sale. I spy a set of AR-1's on eBay that look to be in pretty good shape.

If anyone has some they're looking to move feel free to get at me.

buddy you mind disclosing in private what the set of NCW AR-1's set you back? Would be pretty sweet to get a set from the new company instead of one from ebay

Find a set of AR-1 v2.  They have zero offset.  The originals have offset similar to the EZ-1
