Single length irons

I’ve played the Speedzone One Lengths all summer, and, speaking to your question about stopping ability on the green, I’ve found that they do a great job.
However, I have a pretty high ball flight and a steep descent angle throughout my bag, so my results could be different than someone else’s. That being said, I have thinned them long and gotten lucky with some good gripping spin if they’ve caught the back of the green (has saved several par 3s for me).

I really don’t NEED new irons, but I do really want to try single length…
I probably experiment too much for my own good :wink:

One the same subject…has anyone tried the one length hybrids? I’m starting to look to replace my (very) old Taylormade Rescue…and taking my 4 iron out of the bag.

I had a one length cobra hybrid I was using during my experiment in one length. It was a 5 hybrid and I did like it. Sold it when I gave up on one length.

Mind if I ask what made you give up on “one length”?

I didn’t hit any more GIR (slightly less, actually) and the trajectory on the longer irons was very low, which I didn’t like.
I did keep the longer wedges in my bag, as I did very well with them.

I think for anyone who has been playing for a long time, single length could be very hard to get used to. There would be some frustrating growing pains involved.

I do think there’s value in the one swing idea, though. I’ve gone around and around on this, but I think single length is how I’m going to go about teaching my son when he’s ready. It just makes sense to dial in that one swing early on.

It obviously works at an elite level… I wonder how hard it would be to switch from one length to variable length after learning one length.

My concern is the outliers of the set… hybrid and wedges specifically. I wonder what benefit you are giving up. Brysons wedge play seems to be his biggest weakness and I wonder if that comes from playing six iron length wedges.

I completely agree. I think if I were to do it I’d stick with maybe 9-4 irons one length.
