After a year of contemplation I pulled the trigger and made the purchase of the 5-PW, gap & sand wedges set. Previous to 2023 I was a 2 -3 time a year golfer using club that were handed down to me by my father when stopped playing at age 65. I'm +60 yrs old with bad lower back condition due to a sever motorcycle accident and figured these clubs would at least make the game less physically taxing which they do. While I like and believe in the concept of these, muscle memory is strong and its going to take some time to adjust. For some weird reason I'm hooking the ball more than slicing now. Go figure. The clubs themselves seem well made with a nice finish but the grooving seems to be slightly less deep than my old clubs. I've got all winter to get used to the new set up and I'm sure by the spring all things will be sorted out.
Talk about fast delivery! I placed my order on a Saturday evening and 10 days later the clubs were delivered and communication of order status was tremendous.
With these irons. As you get to 5,4,3 iron. Does the weight and or flex change slightly to accommodate launch as to get proper distances between irons

Hi! The weight and flex do not change. The only difference in our irons is a precise 4° loft angle progression for accurate distance gaps of 10 yards between the irons. Thank you!
Are the shafts steel or graphite?

Hi Robert, all our irons and fairway woods are shafted with our optimized steel shafts. We only offer our optimized 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 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. You can read more about them here: https://1irongolf.com/pages/our-brand.
So how far does a 5 iron go in relation to a 7 iron? Longer irons go farther not only because of less loft but also a longer shaft. ?

Hi Ray, shaft length is only part of the equation. In a conventional iron set the club heads are progressively weighted so your swing speed will vary with each iron. Also, the lie angle, bounce angle, and degrees of offset vary in a conventional iron set. All of those have to be equal in order for you to have one consistent swing which our irons do and they are custom built to you as an individual. The only difference in our irons is a precise 4° loft angle progression for accurate distance gaps of 10 yards between the irons. You will hit your 5 iron 20 yards farther than your 7 iron. Thank you!
This makes perfect sense. I hit laser targeted shots between my 6&8 irons. Yet outside those, l miss increasingly wide of target, either way. Years ago l cut my driver shaft to 3 wood length, to find the fairway and l did. I’m 72 and wish l would have learned of one iron tech long ago. Ikr be buying a set soon. Good science makes good sense.
Do they come in left hand?
