    I once carried a Ping 1 Iron, but now I don't understand why most average golfers would not pick something like a 4 or 5 wood for that same slot in the bag. You can hit them low if you want to, but they carry better and are more forgiving. If you have to hit it low a bunch maybe the iron is the better choice, but for most I would think the fairwood would be a much better choice.
