Well, I played with the 1-iron this weekend and I have to say I really enjoyed the club! It was pretty windy at the courses I played here in houston and the 1-iron kept me out of trouble on the holes where I needed to position my first shot. Great stuff, and great buy.! And my 2-iron, well, I have always liked it. It is my approach iron on the par 5's that I play aggresive on, so I have quite a bit of confidence in it :)

I love to read that kind of stuff. Welcome to the long iron lovers cornor

I've got a Titleist 695.MB 2-iron but I'll only use it if it's extremely windy and/or I need to really get some roll off the ball on harder fairways.

I recently baught myself a used two Iron (Mizuno MP-60), not because I think I'm good enough (yet) to actually use it successfully on the course, but to give me a difficult training instrument which forces me to work on solid ball-striking.

For that and the sheer glorious looks of it, I love that thing And I have every intention of growing into that club, too!

I was out golfing with a buddy and it started to thunder and lightning, my buddy takes a 1-iron out of his bag and holds it in the air, I say "Are you crazy?!" He says, "Don't worry, not even god can hit a 1 iron"

Despite what some people say, I think that 1 and 2 irons are very useful especially in windy conditions as you can play low shots under the wind. This point is backed by the fact that Tiger won the 2006 Open Championship playing a 2-iron of almost every tee!

I like one and two irons and they're not hard to hit, of course I would be lower than a 10 hndcp if I didn't average 40 putts per round and I would say that ballstriking is a strenght of my game.

    • Day 4 (12 Mar 26) - nine hole session with grandson - played along side him from most fwd tees with seven  club setup -D,7w, 5,7,9,55° and putter.  Worked with him on his green side approach play.  Had some great shot making opportunities on my own, best part was seeing him make solid swings.

    • They sure do. 158 with an 8 iron is on the high end for me
    • Went back to controlling my knees. That part was getting a bit sloppy when I worked on my backswing. Right hip didn't slide or gain internal rotation. I would just rotate back and around and the left knee would be in a bad spot. Really focusing now on keeping my left knee very stable and straighter in the backswing. I can't go back to the old pattern of overturning the hips. I was returning to my old pattern to time my downswing. Turn forever.  Left knee controls both knees and hips, acting as an anchor. Feel like it straightens a bit.   Hinge sooner and faster. Not in a way that sends the hands out and flips the club over. I still noticed when the hands get to A2.5, the hands would want to flip over and flatten the club out a ton.  Still trying to figure out how to roll the forearms a bit open and not just roll the club inside a ton.  Figure out the timing to get the hands down. Still getting a bit of right elbow collapsing in the downswing because the arms are too high when I turn. Everything is happening sooner now. If the hips are controlled, the backswing is shortened. Because it is shortened I don't know when to get the hands down and I just turn because the downswing is a go.  Very slow (50%) swings are decent.
