You might want to think about buying some new irons! If yours are ten years old I would tend to say the PW would be around 48 degrees loft. It was roughly 10 years ago that OEM's started to jack the lofts on irons down. Cobra started it. They would hold Demo Days and ask you to hit their 6 iron and compare it with your 6 iron. The Cobra 6 iron would be longer than yours. Of course it would, the loft was the same as your 5 iron. But they did not mention that fact and of course you thought "Wow I gotta have these twigs, they are a club longer than my current irons" The plan worked and all the other OEM's had to follow suit.
One thing I know for sure, I would never have one of those chipping irons in my bag. One dimensional club, useless for any other shots.
