I just purchased two new clubs from Cobra, the F9 Single Length Hybrids.   One club is 24 degrees and I love it!  I hit it pure and it has great loft and is always straight as an arrow.   The other club is a 21 degree and I can't hit it worth a darn!   Same club length (single length = 7 iron), same setup (ball is in the middle to back of stance) and same tempo, yet the ball gets no loft.  It never gets any air!   What am I doing?   Is it "the indian or the arrow?"   Any suggestions would be welcomed!

Same shaft, same swingweight…? Besides the loft, what's different about them?

I'm guessing here. But perhaps you have enough swing speed to launch a ball with 24 degrees of loft, but not quite enough swing speed to launch a ball with only 21 degrees of loft?

The one length clubs are cool in a lot of ways but, again I'm guessing here, the shorter shafts can't help your swing speed any. 

I believe that's why "traditional" clubs get longer in length for lower lofts. To get the head speed of the club up high enough to launch the ball. 

Again, I'm just guessing here. 

My bag is an ever-changing combination of clubs. 

A mix I am forever tinkering with.

Yep.  Identical swing weight.

Great point!   I'll bet that's it!  Much appreciated!
