Same length irons.

[Scifisicko]

Played irons today with 5,6,7,8 all 8 iron length. Liked it. Gaps are tighter and 5 iron only seems about 5m shorter. Short shafted long irons are very easy to shape and I like the idea that all my iron swings are the same.

[Captain Nemo]

What brand?

[Icestorm959]

Wouldn't you now have to add an extra hybrid to make it work?

What did you do about the swing weights?

[liptout]

I did this to my 'spare set'..... a 60 or 70 year old set of blades!!

All 8i length with PX 5.5 in them....

I want to do it to my 'game set' but just a little reluctant considering I've got Tour AD's in them and haven't gamed them enough to know if they are keepers or not....
Once I know they're for me, they'll be getting chopped down to 8i length as well.....

[Scifisicko]

Don't know whether I will need an extra hybrid. I played a 4 h and I'm guessing the gap between it and the cut down 5 iron is max 15 m. But there are extra shots you can safely play with the cut down 5 iron. A ropey draw will go nearly as far as the hybrid. For the time being the clubs have blu-tack in the cavity to adjust the weight. The shafts feel stiffer in the "long irons".

Guess this sums you up! Then lippy chimes ! Noonan oh Danny !

[markTHEblake]

did you make all the headweights the same? otherwise your swingweights are going to be crazy

[solarbear]

Hope one of the OEMs, probably Cobra, put out a set of SL irons soon as I am realky intrigued by the idea.

Old mate just needs to win a tournament or 2 and they'll bring them out

[backintheswing]

Old mate apparently hasn't got a card for the main pga tour next year, so he will be back on the web.com.

[Captain Nemo]

Old mate might be a flash in the pan..,

Did you get your lie angles adjusted?

He has a very impressive amateur track record and finished 21st & 15th in the two majors he played in this year.

He's on a fat sponsorship deal, he'll be ok I think.

[solarbear]

Whether he wins or not, the idea is certainly intriguing and would definitely be worth an experiment.

He made nearly $0.5M US in 9 Pro starts, so he almost made the money list cut off. He hasn't faded away just yet.

Whilst it involves a bit more in terms of same length, same swing, the clubs by their design will also MOI matched, which works for me. I would love to try a single length set, unfortunately the only option for a lefty is the 1 iron mob, and they won't sell you the heads only.

So have many others had impressive amateur careers then faded into obscurity..No doubt, the kids got game, and he's very marketable. I'm a fan, lets not hope he becomes the Anna Kournakova of the men's golf scene though....

He is one of only 5 to win the US Am and NCAA Champs in the same year.

Joining Tiger, Jack, Phil and Ryan Moore are the others.

That's pretty impressive company.

He would have easily retained his card if he played a full season. The kid has some serious game.

[Captain Nemo]

Time will tell....

Anyway, back to the same length thingo.

If you play them at 8 iron length, does this assume every club is the same lie angle as the 8 iron AND the same headweight?

Edit, what happens to 9 and wedge re weight and length, be a bit hard to take weight off wouldn't it?

All the heads are the same weight and lie angle as I understand it.

[LarryLong]

I'm always intrigued by this. Why would you choose 8-iron length?

[benno_r]

Yes thats correct, all irons same weight, and lie.

The tough part of the sell will be determining the right iron for each player. Some players might want everything set up like a 6i, or a 7i, or an 8i. Currently the Wishon sets are setup like an 8i. If 8i isn't your thing, you're going to be out of luck.

Bounce as well, I believe.

I did mine to 8i length cause half the time it's the only iron I feel comfortable standing over!!
