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,

Tommy J

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.

      My Favorite Putts

      By bkuehn1952 ·

      #4 - 1st hole at Kingsbarns I rolled in a 15 footer for birdie. Showed my caddie an old guy could still play a bit. #3 - 18th hole at Basin Harbor Club, Vergennes, VT. I had played matches against my nephew over the years. He had never beaten me although through the years he had become a long hitting teenage golfer. I was 1 up but bunkered near the 18th green. My nephew had a long putt for birdie. I splashed out of the bunker to 4 feet. He rolled his first putt close and I gave him the par. Sadly for him, I rolled mine in and won our last match. He went off to college and then Europe for a Ph. D. It was our last match. Family champion forever. #2 - First playoff hole in the City of Livonia, MI “65 & Over” division. I rolled in an 8 footer that broke about 4-5 inches. #10 Whispering Willows GC. #1  18th hole at TPC Prestancia, Sarasota, FL. A 4 foot slicing putt for par to beat the prior year’s Member/Guest winners and win the Member/Guest with my father at his club. I was having heart palpitations as I played the final hole solo when my father put two in the water. There was never a better golf sight for me when that ball dove into the hole.

      Finally, wedges getting somewhere. This one a punch gap from 87 yards to about 12 feet. Contact and ball flight absolute restaurant quality. It's nice when grass comes back.

      Tiger on the Today show today. At 3:25 he says he's working on keeping his arms in more and rotating his hips better. Nice.
