Bridgestone irons

I saw some Bridgestone irons this weekend (J36) that looked real nice and reminded me of the Titleist 735's.

I'm a lefty and I was very surprised to find out from their web site that Bridgestone doesn't make any irons for left handers.... only for right handers. What gives with that?

It's not really all that uncommon - Bridgestone, Srixon, TEE don't have any lefty offerings, and MacGregors shipment date on them is still TBA. Problem is that most those companies deal pretty exclusively with forged irons - a limited market to begin with - so investing the kind of money it takes to get lefty molds made up/prototypes passed/etc. just isn't worth it in their eyes.

Too bad, the Bridgestone irons looked pretty nice.
