These clubs came in perfect condition and it’s hard to believe they were used in any way. They looked brand new when I received them and had no marks at all.
The Performance is excellent, even with the learning curve. I’ve taken them to the range three times (concrete and rubber mats unfortunately) and out on the course once (which had a grass range of 120yards for short game practice).
I’m still having some trouble with the distance irons (3i & 4i which are 17 & 21 degree lofts!!!!) and after talking with Dave Lake the owner of 1 Iron Golf (how many times has the owner of a company ever “called you” up after a purchase to talk with you? Dave truly cares about us playing better golf) I feel confident that all I need to do is work through the learning curve with the advice Dave gave to me and those clubs will perform just as well as the others.
The clubs fly high and long.
I used to play variable length forged blades and was able to hit my 4i (24 degree loft) so I haven’t lost anything with the 1 Iron Golf clubs being that my 1 Iron Golf 5i is 24 degrees; and flys beautifully.
The driver is longer in yardage with a slightly shorter shaft than what I was playing (with the same lofts). It’s the same story with the 3 wood, more distance with a shorter club length and similar lofts. I never had a problem with distance before but now I may have to club down on some holes!!! In fact all the clubs played a bit longer but I attribute some of that to the lofts being pushed a bit. The other factor being all the clubs swing the same and that makes them super comfortable as well as repeatable.
The clubs work great for my swing as I set up to every shot with the same ball position so single length clubs feel much better to me, and I was surprised at how quickly my old clubs felt awkward in comparison.
The jumbo grips, game improvement shape of the club heads, and smaller iron shafts all felt and looked odd at first. But after using them and feeling how comfortable the clubs are I see their beauty and really am more than happy with all of these features. Aesthetically they are very pleasing to my eye even after playing a beautiful set of gunmetal blades.
I can shape shots left and right with the low bounce and wide soles, that also allow for all of the specialty shots you could want around the greens.
1 Iron Golf clubs are a quality product designed to help us play our best golf comfortably. Period.
I am very happy with my new clubs and am very excited to get back out on the course after dialing in my distances and all the available wedge shots.
That swing speed tip makes perfect sense!
