Yea the club I went to yesterday let’s you demo everyday. I see they had couple hundred clubs sitting at the demo tee inside . I told the guy I was going to comeback when I didn’t have the baby to try some stuff out I had just bought 1 of 2 used 1 irons he had in the back just to try. I’ve used a hybrid iron 1 time and did t really like it at all not sure what degree it was.

Update on yardage. I teed off and hit on a flat area today. Hit 4 balls. This is all carry yardage with no roll still nice I was hitting into a cow pasture with higher grass so if didn’t roll at all. Ball 1 220, ball 2 267, ball 3 216, ball 4 265. I used a yardage wheel this time. I’d like to see how far they would go hitting onto a fairway with roll. 

Based upon your distance dispersion, I’d guess that you’re better off with the 2i Titlest I posted with the hollow face.

Iron lofts have gotten a lot stronger over time. I think the old 1-irons were maybe between 15 to 18 degrees. So the 17 to 18 degree examples that shindig mentioned might suffice. I would also think you would want a modern design that is more forgiving than an old blade.

That would make sense after watching the videos the one guy posted on here with that guy reveiwing an old 1 iron then the new 2 iron. He was hitting a lot farther with the 2 iron then the 1 iron.

Fact is that by stronger lofting their clubs, manufacturers have turned 2 irons, even three irons into the one iron you may be referring to. And you can order a standard 3 iron and have them customized with a couple degrees stronger loft to get as close to 17 degrees as they can. Then, even though the head has a two or three marked on it, its a one.

Holy crap the price is unreal 

lol anything from PXG is, though they do make pretty good equipment.  I don't hit his any better than my Callaway UT X 18 though.

Negative one degrees of bounce... I don't want to picture the result of me hitting that.

None of the major OEMs make an actual 1-iron anymore, and some don't even offer 2-irons.  If you don't want a hybrid or a hollow-body iron, you'll probably need to find a used 1-iron.

Bridgestone j40 445 w/ Graphite Design AD DJ-7
Callaway Steelhead Plus 3 wood w/ RCH Pro Series 3.2
Adams Idea Pro hybrids (3 & 4) w/ Aldila VS Proto 
Bridgestone j33 CB (5-PW) w/ original Rifle 5.5
Bridgestone West Coast 52*, j40 satin 56* & 60* w/ DG S-300
Odyssey White Hot XG #9
Bridgestone B330-RX

Have you looked for a Tommy Armour 845 "Heater" that have 14* degree loft?  I have a head (no shaft) that has a .355 tip -- maybe that will work for you. I don't have the swing speed to elevate that baby higher than 10' off the ground

No I’m not against hollow iron that’s all they make now. And I just bought a used 1 iron at the shop but haven’t got to use it on course yet

      Day 129: 5/4/24 Stack training but could not certify my warmup speed. Dealing with a pulled neck muscle. Chips and pitches at a local course for about 15 minutes.

      At What Distance do Your Pull Our Your Range Finder?

      By mchepp ·

      Typically less than 50. I find this can be affected by the "CART" signs on a given course. I don't like taking my rangefinder out of the cart and carrying it around to the green. I am very fearful I will leave it somewhere.

      First ever holed out greenside bunker shot! It's crazy it took this long to finally get one during a round, but the cold streak is officially over. Hole 6 on the Palmer Course at PGAN. I hit my driver like 225 into a really stiff wind, then worm burned a hybrid into the bunker. I was about I dunno, 40-45 feet away. Birdie! Let's go! The red Xs the approximate location of each shot.  Really fun!!

      Day 23: Rained all day, so no ball hitting. Worked indoors on top of the backswing feel, and also putted around the living room working on bead.

      Played Four Oaks in Dracut today going back to the 2 man scramble match play format. My brother and I shot a team 81 winning 3 and 2. Had so many good shots today using a more centered turn. Seems to have really iginited my golf game. We'll see if I can keep it going.
