In our forums, our members have been discussing one length clubs. WRXer ‘QuigleyDU’ asks members who have made the switch to the irons for feedback and whether they are still playing the clubs – and WRXers have been sharing their experience in our forums.
Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.
- DavePelz4: “SL fan here. Made the move two years ago and dumped all the hybrids and went all the way back to a 4i. It took a bit of time getting used to the longer wedges, but for those of us who are deficient with skills, it’s nice to be able to try and make the same setup and swing repeatedly.”
- Milfordlefty: “I tried SL in 2017, but only to 6i. I think part was I was trying at 8i length. I went to a 5 hybrid as swing speed not sufficient to elevate a 5i. Played well at first, but found AW & SW went to high and short. After coming off Michigan winter hiatus in 2018, iron played suffered. Went back to VL with success. Worked on swing in 2019. I am going to give SL another try in 2020 and see how new swing works with SL. I also may try a graphite shaft in them to see if lighter overall weight has any benefits. If you have any specific questions, post them up.”
- NRJyzr: “Built a Pinhawk 4 iron and PW as testers, trying to get both extremes of the length change from standard length irons. Liked them well enough, slowly filled out the rest of the set, 4-SW. Have played them a few times, the idea is interesting, but I’m not entirely sold on it. I would have to commit to it for a period of time for a real evaluation, which I haven’t done yet. Inconclusive for me at the moment. Intrigued by the concept.”
- grantc79: “I’ve gone back and forth and am back to doing SL. I lose distance with SL, but the crazy shots are gone. I don’t get the wild pushes or hooks anymore really. When I do SL I get very upright and single plane like Dechambeau which simplifies it all. IMO if you go single length, you owe it to yourself to at least TRY going single plane single length. Its transitions well through the bag and makes the game feel incredibly easy.”
- toolman: “Love my cobra forged single length. Originally had the forged with KBS FLT 120, and stupidly sold them. Then I went with the forged tec and HATED the feel. Went back to the OG forged with $ tapers and they are indeed money. I have the 4-PW and then the 3 one utility, which is an awesome club. I haven’t found it a hard transition and just adore the long irons. I’d say I’ve picked up about 10 yards or so. They feel great and go nice and high.”
