Let’s Hit the Blackstone Irons with David Lake of One Iron Golf
David is back in a new video showing off our most popular line of single-length irons, the Blackstone Irons. Our premier line of irons are without a doubt the most advanced set of single-length irons in the golf industry. Capitalize on precision and accurate shot making with the Blackstones. Proper clubface alignment at address is key when it comes to dropping approach shots on the pin. Alignment being off by only 1º or 2º either way means adding an extra 8 to 15 feet to your birdie putt. The Blackstone's bright white scoring lines against the black PVD background makes club-face alignment exact and automatic at address and shafting with our proprietary black steel shafts eliminates any potential glare at address. Old fashioned club numbering has been replaced by the actual loft angles for precise club selection and distance control. Available in right and left hand.

My current irons have graphite shafts. Yours are all irons have steel shafts, even if they go through the extra flex step. Obviously, you prefer steel. Why?

Hi This is a great questions! Here is a link to a longer answer and video: https://1irongolf.com/blogs/videos/shaft-flex
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 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 1/8” oversized 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.

I see that the Pro line has a lighter club head than the regular line. I prefer a heavier feel. How does the Blackstone design compare to the regular line and the Pro line? I would buy the Blackstone if the clubhead weight is a bit on the heavy side.

Hi! The Blackstones have the same weight as the Pro-line. Realistically, you cannot tell a difference in the weight between the 1 Irons and other lines unless they were side by side. We have never gotten any complaints about our clubs being heavy or light. Let me know if you have any more questions!

Question: Are the hybrids and fairway clubs the same length as the irons? If not, are all hybrids the same length? Are all fairway and driver the same length?

1 Iron Golf replied:
Hi! The irons and hybrid irons are all the same length built based on your wrist-to-floor measurement. The Fairway Woods are built a little longer and the Driver is a little longer than the woods.
All club lengths, clubhead lie angles, and clubhead weight should be the same within each functional grouping of golf clubs. What you must bear in mind is that there is a distinct difference in design function between irons, fairway woods, and drivers. An iron is designed to pinch the ball against the turf using a down and through type of swing which requires an upright swing plane and a descending swing arc into the ball. On the other hand, fairway woods are designed to sweep the ball from the turf which requires a flatter swing plane and, hence, a longer club length than an iron. A driver is designed to sweep a ball that is teed up 1" to 2" off the ground which requires an even flatter swing plane than a fairway wood and, hence, a longer club length than the other woods within a set. As well as club length and lie angle, the clubhead weight will also be different between the three functional groupings. Let us know if you have more questions.
