I golf only about 7-10 times a year, sometimes less. Simplifying the game with the same swing using one-length clubs just made sense.
So, I purchased the Pro-Line set including the 3, 5, 7 and 9 woods. I hit probably about 1500 balls in a simulator this past month to re-tool my swing with the goal of consistency and decent distance. Plus, I have a goal to once again beat my daughter and son-in-law this upcoming year, and these clubs are giving me a fightinng chance. For reference, I'm 56-years old, 6'5" and 256 lbs. and can hit the 7-iron about 140 yards now. My swing speed is average. I place the ball in the middle of my stance for the 5 iron through wedges and maybe one ball further forward in my stance for the woods. Same swing for all of them--just two ball positions that are literally a 2" apart. All I care about now is executing the proper swing mechanics. The ball is always in the same place. The woods are all one-length, and the irons are all one-length. So, it really cuts down on the variables.
I don't buy into the reduced distance argument some make of one-length clubs. If you work on your swing and practice sound technique, you can flush these irons/woods just as well as standard, multi-length clubs. Needless to say, I am a fan of these clubs, and absolutely glad I made the purchase.
Do you offer a graphite shaft?

Hi Rodney, We only install our proprietary steel shafts in our irons and fairway woods. The design of our golf shafts in combination with our proprietary Shaft Optimization Process produces a perfectly balanced golf club (other brands typically use stock shafts with no balance criteria). Once this perfect balance is achieved the concept of shaft flex disappears and the golf club will perform at its peak performance level regardless of swing speed or strength. Our golf clubs are played by professional golfers and long-drive champions with extremely high swing speeds and played by senior women golfers with very low swing speeds.
This balance also greatly reduces any potential vibration of the shaft, and that, coupled with our oversize grips, virtually eliminates any vibration you would normally experience with steel shafts. It is of note that many of our customers are former graphite shaft players.
