‘One length irons – Wow!’ – GolfWRXers discuss
In our forums, our members have been reacting to a post from WRXer ‘Wings02’, who recently tested out Cobra’s one-length irons and has come away very impressed. ‘Wingso2’ says:
“I went to a Cobra Golf Demo/fitting day Friday to satisfy my curiosity about the one length irons. They had a set made up with their King forged Tec One head. They had a KBS lite steel shaft, regular flex. As most of you know, the length is based on a seven iron.
Obviously, you will notice the biggest difference in the PW and longer irons. There is a strange sort of confidence in both the short irons and longer irons in the following sense; although the shaft length of the pitching wedge seems long, you have the confidence that you can easily hit the yardage that you need without swinging too hard.
On the other hand, when you put a four or a five iron in your hands, it seems like a very easy club to hit. This was definitely the case for me. I know personally when I hit a ladies 3,4,5 iron, they seem very easy to hit. This was the same feeling I got when I hit the Cobra one length set.
Bryson DeChambeau discussed his thoughts on the one length iron set in one of the current golf magazines. He felt that all golfers should be using that setup. Besides him being a student of the game, he really understands the physics and logic of both the physical swing and equipment used.
The cynical side of me could come to the conclusion that he is saying that to boost sales of Cobra irons. I really don’t think that is the case, especially after trying a set on the range. I’m actually surprised that more people, especially amateur golfers, are not opting to go with this setup. For those of you that have either tried or own a set, what are your thoughts?
As a side note, I found the King forged tech-head was phenomenal. I am used to using graphite for many years and cannot believe the feel I was getting even using the KBS steel shaft. The profile of these heads looks as great as they feel. I have hit many sets of the new hollow cavity heads, including briefly owning a set of GEN 3 PXG irons. The performance of the King Cobra heads were the best of the bunch.”

- OsnolaKinnard: “Welcome to the party pal! I am on my 3rd year with a set of Edel SLS01 irons, and I love them.”
- LPSISCO: “I tried the single length Cobra irons last year. The 4,5,6,7 were really easy to hit for me; the 4 and 5 were much better than a normal set. But the wedges were horrible; I could not get used to them at all. I’d like to try a 2 length system – 4 thru 7 at a 7 iron length, 8 thru Gap at PW length.”
- lefthack: “Yeah, I like the concept; I just know my gaps in the top end would suffer and relearn to chip would also take a while.”

Why does Bryson wear that goofy hat while playing? If you see him anywhere else, he always has a normal hat on. It’s not like he pushes sales of the funny looking pillow hat. I’ve never seen another golfer wearing one.

He wears it in honor of Ben Hogan.
