I used a set of one length irons from Giga Golf this season. I wanted to try the one length concept without spending too much money. Overall I liked the concept. I have been thinking about upgrading to a set of Cobra One length irons. I am still pretty new to the game of golf and usually shoot in the high 80’s to mid 90’s. I was thinking about getting the forged irons. I’m sure the speed backs are more suited for my skill level but I wanted something to grow into and the forged seem like higher quality. Anybody have experience with both? Are the forged irons still somewhat forgiving or similar to blades?


Look on the internet, Amazon, Ebay,  etc. and you can find the F8 one length for under $300.    Very good clubs...


I have a set of one length irons. I believe they are the forged model. Not sure. "F" series maybe? 5-SW.

I won them in a raffle. Took them to the d-range for a small bucket, cleaned them up, and put them back in the box. 

Iirc,I like them for the most part. Distance was good, and setting up to hit was pretty easy. Shaft flex seemed to be a different "R" than what I am use to. 

I do like the concept, and I actually think more of these one length irons will eventually be coming out by more manufacturers. The "one swing for all irons" concept is a good marketing feature. 

The idea of one length clubs to me, makes me think they might allow for fewer set up/swing thoughts for the end user. 

That said, I am having such a good run with my old gamers, the new clubs have been put away till further notice. 

I will probably get them out again later on this season. That, or when my Granddaughter decides she wants a new set of clubs, I will show them to her. Might be a good way of recouping post golf ice cream monies from her Dad if she wants them.

I have the F9 one lengths 5-SW. I played them this year. Once you get used to playing every club like a 7 iron they're easy. Fewer swing thoughts. I only carry up to the 6i. I carry standard length F9 5H & 4H.

Sorry to reopen an older thread, but I was curious how people felt about the one length concept. Personally, the side of me that appreciates the science behind it likes the idea, but I have trouble with one thing.

I'm 6'7" tall and use irons that are 1.5" longer than standard. The extra length of the 8-9-Wedges in a one length set is attractive, but I want the 5-6-7 irons to be longer than a standard 7 iron.

I bought a set of used F8 One Length irons and added 1" to the 5-6-7 irons, back weighting them to stay at D1 swingweight. I guess that makes them Two Length?    ;-)

I haven't been able to play with them yet, but hitting them into the net in my backyard felt fine.

I've had a good day if I don't fall out of the cart...

    • If you own a Stack radar (for now, it's limited to Stack radar only), and want to work on your wedge game… it turns out that wedge distances are 99% correlated to ball speed. So, with a small radar, you can practice your wedge game easily in a gamified way.
    • Day 11: 2/16/2025 Rince and Repeat: Just like yesterday I spent several 5-10 minute sessions working on what I learned on Friday.   
    • Quick update. So, I got the PXG Secret Weapon and I have to say I like it... mostly. (see below) I spent some time with it on the range and I even gathered some data in doors. I'm not going to post data yet, as my swing is still a bit of a work in progress and I'd like to gather some more data after I settle down a little bit more. But here's my review.  First as a driver replacement. ... IMO it is not a replacement, it's clearly more of a supplement... for me anyway. Not long enough to really replace the driver. For me it's about 20 yards short of my driver. It is longer than my 30-wood off the tee. (15 yards-ish) I will say it is easier to hit off the tee than my 3-wood. I get some of my best shots teeing it low, but I also get some of my worst. If I tee it about a full inch off the ground I get very consistent shots. Super repeatable. Amazingly repeatable even with my messy swing. Off the tee, I find it draw biased just a bit. You can tinker with the set up if that isn't your personal cup of tea.  As a 3-wood replacement. For me it's about perfect. It's longer than my 3-wood off the deck (my data showed 10 yards longer) and it has a gentle fade to it, which I love. You do need a clean lie, but I never hit my 3-wood off anything but a clean lie anyway. I found it interesting that I hit a gentle fade off the deck and a slight draw off a tee. I'm sure that's not uncommon. Again, you can tinker with the set up to optimize that if you wanted to... I don't want to.  It's clearly a lot longer than my 3-wood off the tee. Easier to hit off the tee than my 3 wood, and off the deck it's also longer. So, it's a no-brainer 3-wood replacement for me. I will say that over the years I've learned to use my 3-wood for this low-flying-100-yard-punch-out-from-under-a-tree shot.  I'll have to see if the Secret Weapon can handle that duty. But it's going in the bag to replace the 3-wood.  I also turned my 5-wood down from 19 degrees to 17 degrees. ... Incidentally my 3-wood had been 16 degrees. I used to always hit my 5 wood and my hybrid about the same distance. This adjustment helps my gapping a bit at the top of the bag. I can clearly hit my 5-wood farther than my hybrid now.  Overall on the PXG Secret Weapon. The good: It's clearly longer and easier to hit off the tee than my 3-wood. It's a bit longer off the deck than my 3-wood.  It's super forgiving... surprisingly so.  It's uber adjustable. ... Although I do suggest getting fit for it. That will save you having to (or wanting to) buy a weight kit just to try out the infinite number of set ups. The headcover is super cool.  The maybe not so good: Shots out of the middle sound great. Shots off the heal sound great. Shots off the toe sound ... what's the work... clangy? It's very forgiving off the toe and the heal. The flight and the distance are incredibly consistent. But the sound off the toe isn't great.  For me I tend to draw it off the tee and fade it off the deck. You can set it up to be biased either way, but in my hands I think if I set up a draw off the deck, that might induce a duck hook off the tee. ... In fairness that could also be where my swing is at right now.  It's pretty spendy. ... If I really stop and think about it, I paid $450 for a new 3-wood. Granted it's a better performing 3-wood. But for me it's really a 3-wood replacement.
