He is currently in the lead of a tournament he is in and he plays Edel irons that are ALL 37.5" long.  This is basically seven iron length.  Watch until the end of the video and take a look at his very upright swing as well.

Saw a story this morning about his new Augusta/Masters themed irons, where he nicknamed all of them (and had them stamped with said nickname) something to do with Augusta or the Masters... I

I don't either. A 3I head, because it's usually on a longer shaft, is much lighter than a SW head. So if you make them all the same length you have to add weight to a 3I (and possibly remove it

Interesting stuff -- that Edel putter is a wild one-off.

Talk about custom fit!

Saw his name mentioned on the 1irongolf.com website, didn't realize he was still in college? His irons are all the same length. I opted to have 5-PW at 37.25 and 52/56/60 at 35.5 inches.

So i wonder if this will bring about a change in how people look at the length of each of their irons....

It is what it is

It might if they want to swing how he does.  His woods appear to be longer so I'm curious how his swing changes to accommodate the added length and why that's different from irons.  I'd also think that on his lower lofted irons (3,4,5,6) that the lofts have to be jacked to compensate for the shorter shaft lengths otherwise he'd be giving up some distance with them.

Not a new idea... been around for quite some time. I've thought about it only because it means one swing and less to think about. He probably has a bit of variation in the lie angles but not much. A bit more yardage for the wedge end and a bit less on the long iron end. Again, variations in loft may make up for some of that, but most pro's would have the same tweaks anyway.

Not for me, I don't have the one plane swing though. I use my single length irons with a classic two plane setup.

Sweet looking Edel wedges and putter.  Very unique set makeup and swing.  Looks like it is working quite nicely for him.

I've never seen a golfer play ( and win) with all their irons 37.5 inches long either.

I'm confused here? Whose irons were all the same length?

And his irons aren't numbered, they just have the lofts printed on them. That seems like a good idea to me, make it easier to compare clubs and prevent manufacturers from gaming distances.

I'm not sure on the lengths though, I assume there's a valid reason that loft and length move in opposite directions for a standard set of clubs but then it also makes sense that hitting the same length club would improve consistency then loft would change the distance on each club.

Hmmm. Ok. I've heard of this concept, but in the whats in his bag part it just said cavity back Edel irons. When I searched for those clubs, they were all different length irons. I didn't see the part of the article where his clubs are all the same length?

      Retaining Trail Knee Flex in the Backswing

      By iacas · Posted

      Thanks but honestly… I don't know any other way. I don't mind being wrong so long as I know where to go from there. I don't like being wrong — I'd love to get things right (which is different than "being right"). I recommend grabbing a furniture slider or a paper plate or something, and doing something like this: First, make a swing where you let your trail foot swing out as you turn, then twist that foot back in. From DL and FO, it'll look like this: Then, during a regular backswing, try to twist your foot in slightly (demonstrated in the left image): You'll notice a crease along the trail side of your hip, your pelvis will "fold" into that thigh (internal rotation of the hip joint), and your "bits" will be squished a little between your pelvis and your thigh. Ben Hogan said once: "At the top of the back swing the groin muscle on the inside of your rt [sic] leg near your right nut will tighten," Hogan wrote. "This subtle feeling of tightness there tells you that you have made the correct move back from the ball." I don't know about that, but you will probably feel something down around that area.

      Yep. I think it will start to feel even more athletic when we start on the downswing stuff later.  I know, it's just I want to be younger so I have more time to enjoy the changes. 🙂

      I need to drop a couple of stone. 🙂 😛    Yep. Yeah, but in the end, it feels more athletic, like you're actually using your legs, yeah? As you know… we use the best available info we have. Like others, I was fooled a little by 2D images for awhile (moving or still). Unlike others, I've learned and grown and moved on since then, while they're still looking at their images (often from lousy camera angles).
