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.

      My Swing (Ty_Webb)

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      Got told off yesterday for doing full swings and full speed swings so went to the range this lunchtime and did some slow speed stuff and freezers. A few videos from my session.    First few are DTL then some FO This one is of me looking at the club on the way back. I think I get my arms lifting all the way back, not that you’d know because YouTube keeps glitching on me.    Second one is two slow backswings. This glitches the first one but the glitch looks like a pretty good position so I’ll live. Second one works. Then another swing back and hit. When I’m not watching or really focusing on it it seems that my upper arm doesn’t lift at first, rather stays roughly where it is and I add the lift at the end so the club comes a bit more inside. I think that’s what I’m going to focus on. This one glitches a bit too but it’s really just pausing. This shows the club coming a bit more inside but not as laid off at the top Then a couple of face on ones And lastly one smoothie and one freezer at normal speed  Quite happy with how this went. I can see my arms are better when I take it slower. Also while I’m still pitching my arms out it doesn’t seem to be as extreme as yesterday. Light at the end of the tunnel 🙂

      Pablo, you can’t get much safer than cash and a public meetup spot. Don’t know what happened to you there.  Always check their profile to make sure they have either sold stuff, have other things for sale and have a profile that shows they don’t join FB the day before.  Be wary if the price is too low, but those are usually the people who joined 2 days ago and have nothing in their profile .  Craigslist is the place full of scumbags usually.
