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.

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.

      New Maxfli Forged Irons - $800!

      By xrayvizhen · Posted

      I would like to amend my original comment on the new Maxfli irons. Yes, $800 for forged irons is a pretty good price and they do feel good BUT...I have since found out that $800 is only for off the shelf, standard issue clubs with standard lengths, lofts, lies and shafts. Any change made from stock results in huge up-charges so that the final price ends up pretty much the same as similar forged irons from any of the major manufacturers.

      PGA Tour 6 Rule Changes for 2026

      By DaveP043 · Posted

      These were almost all included on the list of Clarifications or revised Model Local Rules released just a few days ago.  I'm pretty sure the first 3 are brand new MLRs (Moved/Wrong Place, Embedded Ball in someone else's pitch mark, Internal OB applies only to tee shot) that the PGA Tour is choosing to use.  The 16.1 Rule (relief near a Putting Green) was revised allowed a Committee to give relief for more than just Immoveable Obstructions, microphone holes would be classed as GUR (a hole made by the maintenance staff).  The replacement club rule was available before, the E-3 (Lift Clean and Place distance) could have been defined as "one scorecard" before, they're just a change in how the PGA choices. Here are the January 1 Clarifications and revised MLRs https://www.usga.org/content/usga/home-page/rules-hub/clarifications-of-the-rules-of-golf.html#cp
