The theory was that you'd make the length the same the club that you're the most comfortable with, which for most people was the seven iron.
If that's what you did, you three iron would have to be four degrees upright and your pitching wedge four degrees flat. Not only do all the lengths have to be the same, but all the lie angles and head weights must be identical as well.
What concerns me about that is that shaft length is a contributing factor to the distance each club will carry. How do hey explain the fact that you will have the same gaps between irons with only the loft changing?

LONG Short irons (8,9, pitching wedge, sand wedge) get it now. I also think the longer shafts for average height person would have to move the club away from the body more or choke down on the club.
