1 Iron Loft

[Tommy J]

Hi All,

I've got a set of Deep Red Irons and bought a DeepRed 1 Iron a year after buying them. I hit the 1 iron very well off the tee and from the fairway but I'm looking to get a hybrid to hit out of the rough

The question is "what is the loft of my 1 Iron"? anyone know?
I ask because I don't want 2 clubs with the same loft. Ideally I want a TaylorMade Rescue Mid with either 16 or 19 degrees.
Or should I just add some weight to the 1 Iron?


Many Thanks,

[Kahuna]

I believe the loft on a 1 iron is 17 degrees.

deep red, those are wilson right?? each company uses different lofts for there irons..

Excellent, Thanks Kahuna.

Yes aquacooled they are Wilson.

Now this leaves me a tough decision, do I drop the 1 Iron for the 19degree rescue mid or drop my 3 Wood which I hardly use for a 16degree??

or both.

you can add a 14 degree hybrid as an option. TaylorMade and Hogan both have them, as I am sure others do. I am thinking of replacing 3 Wood with one. If it works, let me know.

[aquacooled]

well which one would you use more often??
