I know it's old, but I found this link looking for a 1 iron myself. It is a 16 degree 1 iron.

Price point is a bit higher. I will see if I can demo it before going with the Bomb Tech as I have never swung them before or know anyone that swings them. There is something to be said for a trusted brand for sure. Since bomb tech allows 60 day trials, I might try to get it delivered close to a demo day so I can swing it side by side with the Titleist you suggested.

I really miss my 1 iron though. I sold my 1-W ping eye 2's when I got my used G10's as they were +1 shafts and I liked swinging them. I replaced the 1-3 with hybrids but I really dislike the feel of the hybrid clubs. I also miss the utility from having a 1 iron in the bag for low ceiling shots and being 5-10 feet off the green putt like shots.

Thank you for sharing this club recommendation.

I can only imagine what a good solid shank with a 1 iron would feel like…

It was always forgiving for me. It's why I want it back in my bag.

With enough spin, the ball will end up behind you.

I kind of have to get that Bombtech 1 iron just because. 😂 I've been using a Titleist U500 3 iron lately that is 20 degrees and it is amazing off the tee.  Long live the 1 iron!

ncates00 above noted that Titelist makes a 16 degree 1 iron, Titleist u510 16*.  https://www.golfdiscount.com/titleist-u510-utility-iron?size=15178&hand=15138&set_composition=18835&shaft=15520&shaft_model=22379&flex=15397&gclid=Cj0KCQjw7MGJBhD-ARIsAMZ0eevMEZzkfw1CMEF2oui-lL0cGKSPttwLyRc37C0XIUYF5Hki5LV6ZREaAnvuEALw_wcB

Price points are just very different.

What about the Taylor Mace GPR?   The model that has a think iron back should be able to be dialed to 18 degrees.   I have one and it jumps off the club pretty good.   Despite whatever number it has, it's a driving iron.

Absolutely it's a driving Iron. I am looking for a 16 degree but an 18 degree is not that much different.

    Yesterday I played with a guy sporting a Mizuno  MP-H5 16 degree 1 iron, made 3 or 4 years ago, they may make something similar today. He had the head speed to hit a really high, Nicklaus like fade with it. The driver was the only wood in his bag. Back when I carried a one iron I still bagged a 3 wood, but back then we only carried two or 3 wedges........

The last new 1 iron I bought was back in the mid 90's  in a set of Mizuno Grads. (Graduated cavity). A fantastic set of clubs, I still rue the day I sold them because I had picked up a set of even better Yonex ADX Tours.

I had a gapr, but didn’t like it. Don’t like the feel or how high it went.

Since a traditional 1 iron may be very hard to find I would suggest finding a good 2 iron you like and have it bent or de-lofted to a 1 iron loft.

      Thank you.  I'll cross it off the list since it isn't going to achieve what I want.

      While it does turn out that both Tiger and Phil are less squeaky clean than I previously believed, I don't think golf quite has the worst in professional sports.  Or maybe they're better at image management.   Obviously I'm not fond of Phil's issue we're discussing in this thread (or his involvement with LIV) or Tiger's choices of how to drive.  I used to really like Dustin Johnson and, even before the LIV situation, we started to hear rumors that he bought more snow than Seward, although I don't think those stories were ever substantiated.  Meanwhile, I did think of Anthony Kim as the "good, bad boy" of the tour for a while fifteen years ago because of his party persona -- and if it turns out the worst he did was show up hung over to play (barring what one thinks of LIV), that's pretty good.  And I'm still happy he found a way to get his life clean. If we contrast that with some other sports I enjoy, I'm sure we could find a nice long list of NFL players that, at one point in my life, I was quite fond of, we get far worse disappointments (to put it mildly).

      Answering that properly would land me in hot water, so I'm not going to. I don't think that many people would do that. I think that in certain circumstances many people would be willing to overlook someone doing that. But I was really referring to what I assumed was Tiger's transgressions (cheating on his wife) not Phil's.

      No! Is a large part of the human population selfish, apathetic and cuts corners in the name of self-preservation 'more than they would like to admit', yes. Degenerate, scum, etc?.. no!! Most humans/men would not grope a woman like Phil is accused of doing (I think he absolutely did). That is scum. I mean what % of men do you think would do that? Seriously??

      I don't think that is true at all. That is off-topic here, I think.
