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.

Yea I did see that on eBay I just won’t spend that much money if I can’t put my hands on it. I don’t think they make that club anymore

@Bungiex88, why don't you research and look for a Mizuno driving iron? Best, -Marv

DRIVER: Cleveland 588 Altitude ( Matrix Radix Sv Graphite, A) IRONS: Mizuno JPX-800 HD Irons & 3,4,5 JPX Fli-Hi (Grafalloy Prolaunch Blue Graphite, R); WEDGES: (Carried as needed) Artisan Golf 46, 50, 53, 56 low bounce, 56 high bounce; PUTTER: Mizuno TP Mills 9

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.

I’ll have to see if the shop I go to carries that Titleist tmb 2 iron and that Mizuno mp18. I like the price of the Mizuno but seems like the Titleist is of a little better quality

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

    • the rules have changed, but this would fall under 11.2 in the current rules.  General Penalty to any player who deliberately deflects a ball in motion, and you must replay the putt.
    • Day 250 4-29 Getting chest through with speed on downswing and wrist arch. Also worked on some moving the pelvis slightly away in the backswing. Feel like im going too fast and long, looks like it on the recordings too.
    • Interesting that it's no penalty, but then again, I can't imagine someone would purposefully put their foot out there in this situation or one like it.  And then there was the time someone purposefully deflected his own ball during a major, but that's very different too. The only time I can recall a ball I hit hitting another player or their equipment was ages ago -- over a decade and a half ago.  I had a 3' putt for an 89 and someone (a random pairing, not someone I knew) decided it was a good time for goaltending practice.  That wouldn't fall under this rule, though (and it wasn't in a tournament anyway). Thanks for continuing to share these, Dave!  I always find these interesting. 
    • Day 51 (29 Apr 26) - Worked with a few of the golf team kids plus my grandson (he’s too young for the team as it’s middle-high school age and he’ll be 10 Sat).  He put on a small hitting clinic (hitting off the same tees as the rest of the boys) - one of the older kids called him a “coach”.  Worked in a few shots for myself - had the light bag: driver, 7w, 4 - 6 - 8 - Pw - Sw (DCI 962’s except the Sw a 981) and Zebra putter….got in some great tee shots, a couple of recovery and an awesome up and down for bogie: 55 yds out, hitting 4th shot due to 2nd getting tangled in limbs - see the window I need to hit for a tight spinner with the Sw - nail it to a postage letter distance from the cup for a tap in bogie….my kind of practice. 
    • Day 21, April 29.  Before going to work this morning, I worked in my indoor practice room for 20 minutes.   This was entirely 6-iron shots with the usual step.  Video yesterday showed me that I'm still straightening my trail leg too much (leading to the backswing length issue I've been working to fix), so I focused on not doing that in my rehearsal swings.
