The largest offset measurements are found in putters, where offset is often characterized as a "full shaft" or "half shaft" or "one-and-a-half shafts" worth of offset. The term "progressive offset" is most commonly applied to iron sets.
It means that the amount of offset changes from club to club throughout the set—more offset in the longer clubs, less in the shorter clubs. For example, in an iron set with progressive offset, the 5-iron would have more offset than the 7-iron, which would have more offset than the 9-iron.
