What the differences mean
At the 7-iron, the 902-PD is 32° and the 902-OS is 31°, a 1° gap. Each degree of loft is worth roughly 3 to 4 yards of carry at the same swing speed, so the 902-OS should carry roughly 3 to 4 yards further with that club, on a slightly lower, shallower flight than the 902-PD. Across the 7 clubs both sets share, the 902-OS averages 1° stronger, with the largest gap at the 4-iron (22° vs 21°). The pitching wedges are 44° and 43°; the stronger one leaves a 7° jump to a 50° gap wedge, which matters when planning wedge gapping. Beyond loft, the 902-OS 7-iron sits 0.5° flatter (62° vs 61.5°), which nudges start direction slightly right for a right-hander.
The sets are built differently: the 902-PD runs 4-iron to PW (7 clubs), the 902-OS 4-iron to AW (8 clubs).
Both are players distance irons, built for roughly 5 to 15 handicaps who want extra distance from a compact head. Forged or multi-material heads that keep a compact look while adding face technology and stronger lofts for distance. Because they target the same golfer, the decision comes down to the specific loft, feel and shaping differences rather than who the sets are made for.
The 902-PD is listed as hollow body, forged and the 902-OS as forged. The 902-PD's hollow body lets the face flex more and moves mass low and outward, usually giving higher launch and more ball speed on off-centre strikes than the 902-OS, at some cost in feel.
The 902-OS came out 1 year after the 902-PD, but it is a different line rather than a direct replacement, so the two were designed for different golfers as well as different seasons.
Which should you choose?
The 902-OS is the stronger-lofted set — up to 1° stronger than the 902-PD on matching clubs. Expect longer carry per numbered iron but a flatter descent angle; gapping at the wedge end is where that shows up.

Frequently asked questions
Is the New Level 902-PD stronger lofted than the 902-OS?
No. The 902-OS is the stronger-lofted set: its 7-iron is 31° against 32° for the New Level 902-PD, 1° stronger and worth roughly 3 to 4 yards of extra carry.
What is the loft difference between the New Level 902-PD and 902-OS?
At the 7-iron the difference is 1° (32° vs 31°). The largest gap on a shared club is 1° at the 4-iron, and all 7 shared clubs differ.
Are the New Level 902-PD and 902-OS aimed at the same golfer?
Yes. Both are players distance irons, built for roughly 5 to 15 handicaps who want extra distance from a compact head. Choose on feel, looks and gapping, ideally after hitting both.
Do the New Level 902-PD and 902-OS have the same lie and length?
Not exactly. At the 7-iron the New Level 902-PD is 62° lie and 37 inches, the 902-OS 61.5° and 37 inches. Both can be bent or built to your own fit.
