What GolfWRXers are saying about one length clubs

In our forums, our members have been discussing one length clubs. WRXer ‘QuigleyDU’ asks members who have made the switch to the irons for feedback and whether they are still playing the clubs – and WRXers have been sharing their experience in our forums.

Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.

DavePelz4: “SL fan here. Made the move two years ago and dumped all the hybrids and went all the way back to a 4i. It took a bit of time getting used to the longer wedges, but for those of us who are deficient with skills, it’s nice to be able to try and make the same setup and swing repeatedly.”
Milfordlefty: “I tried SL in 2017, but only to 6i. I think part was I was trying at 8i length. I went to a 5 hybrid as swing speed not sufficient to elevate a 5i. Played well at first, but found AW & SW went to high and short. After coming off Michigan winter hiatus in 2018, iron played suffered. Went back to VL with success. Worked on swing in 2019. I am going to give SL another try in 2020 and see how new swing works with SL. I also may try a graphite shaft in them to see if lighter overall weight has any benefits. If you have any specific questions, post them up.”
NRJyzr: “Built a Pinhawk 4 iron and PW as testers, trying to get both extremes of the length change from standard length irons. Liked them well enough, slowly filled out the rest of the set, 4-SW. Have played them a few times, the idea is interesting, but I’m not entirely sold on it. I would have to commit to it for a period of time for a real evaluation, which I haven’t done yet. Inconclusive for me at the moment. Intrigued by the concept.”
grantc79: “I’ve gone back and forth and am back to doing SL. I lose distance with SL, but the crazy shots are gone. I don’t get the wild pushes or hooks anymore really. When I do SL I get very upright and single plane like Dechambeau which simplifies it all. IMO if you go single length, you owe it to yourself to at least TRY going single plane single length. Its transitions well through the bag and makes the game feel incredibly easy.”
toolman: “Love my cobra forged single length. Originally had the forged with KBS FLT 120, and stupidly sold them. Then I went with the forged tec and HATED the feel. Went back to the OG forged with $ tapers and they are indeed money. I have the 4-PW and then the 3 one utility, which is an awesome club. I haven’t found it a hard transition and just adore the long irons. I’d say I’ve picked up about 10 yards or so. They feel great and go nice and high.”

Game improvement iron as a driving iron? – GolfWRXers discuss

In our forums, one user is sharing details of a recent round in which his playing partner was gaming an…unconventional driving iron.

@AbSWFPGA explained:

“Played with a kid the other day who was a good player and he used a TaylorMade qi max hl 4 iron as a driving iron. He hit it off a lot of tees and it was pretty money. I looked up the 4 iron in that set and it’s 18.5 degrees so that would make for a good driving iron in terms of loft. Has anyone done this and could share some feedback? Thanks”

Our members have been sharing their own perspectives and experiences with unique driving irons in the forum.

Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.

Dave33: “I just got a new set of irons, Ping I540’s, and the 4 iron is 19 degrees. That’s basically as strong as the 2 iron in my 30 yr old custom set its replacing and I used to hit that 2 iron off the tee all the time. The I540 4 iron off the tee is an awesome club. ”
Santiago Golf: “I have tried this a few times and they always went too high … Never really the stinger height I was looking for. I got a IDEA Pro style hybrid and it was the perfect mid launching club I was looking for.”
DircaDelta: “I basically do this with a JPX 925 Hot Metal Pro 4iron (19 degrees). I tried a few driving irons but honestly this probably fits me best due to the shorter length, but it’s still hot and still has a wide sole which is nice. Great off the tee, turf, and punchy shots to lay-up on par 5s or get out of trouble. It has the same shaft as my irons (Modus 120X) so I could probably get more out of it from a different shaft, but it fits what I need in terms of gapping from my 5 iron (JPX Forged) and gapping and launch from my short 5 wood. I think it’s a good (and often cheaper) route so long as you can find one that suits your eye and gapping needs. I don’t like offset so the HMP’s help in the optics department over a “more typical” game improvement iron.”

Best 400cc driver that has a modern COR? – GolfWRXers discuss

In our forums, one user is hoping to marry the look of classic drivers with modern technology.

@slantsflood inquired:

“Not looking at the mini drivers here. Looking for 9 degrees if possible.

“Think Titleist 905s or T. Kind of pear shaped with today’s tech would be perfect for my eye.”

Our members have been helping slantsfood brainstorm about drivers that might fit into his wheelhouse.

Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.

ProjectX: “The major difference is the 905T had a standard length of 45″ and the modern stuff is 45.5″ or longer. So not only will that extra half inch feel a lot longer it will also swingweight 3 points heavier. That’s where you are getting the heavy feeling from is the length. Outside of that the balance of the clubs has also changed because of the requirement of the adjustable hosel that puts a lot of mass towards the neck of the club than before. This has also made the insertion depth for shafts much more shallow making them play lighter to flex than the old days which is why tipping has become so prevalent. There is no doubt what you feel is different than the old days, but I highly doubt we ever see a glued hosel again.”
Golfingfanatic: “Have a look at the Japanese market. you’ll find some options released in the last few years in that size range.”
storm3: “If you are willing to go bigger with a smaller looking pear like footprint, you may want to consider the TSR4 of GT4 (430cc) which provides adjustability and are more likely to outperform 20 year old sub 400cc heads.”
