  • Do one-length Irons actually work or are they just a new golf gimmick? The GolfBusters are ready to put these irons to the test to see if the distance gaps between irons are correct and to see if you lose distance with your longer irons.

    As a high handicap golfer, I now use these, and they have definitely helped me.
    One thing that is overlooked is that for a beginner not only do you have 1 swing to learn, you are also practicing that swing more every time you play or go on the range so you are getting more practice quicker, hopefully helping you get better faster.

      Agreed, I think the thing that’s very calming for me is if I haven’t hit my 6 iron in a round or two, I walk up to the ball knowing it’s still the same swing as any other club.

    I did my own variation of the one length.
    I keep my 3 4 and 5 irons variable length, and I changed my 6 iron thru sand wedge to 6 iron length.
    Worked wonders for my game.

    I have built my own set using the Cobra One LTDx heads 4 and 5 iron. In these I have high launch graphite shafts. Then I use Cobra Forged Tec 2020 heads in 6, 7, 8 and 9. The 6 iron also have a high launch graphite shaft and the 7, 8 and 9 has a Wishon SLS shaft that is tipped to give me right spin and ball flight. Then I use the first gen Cobra Forged Tec as PW and GW also with Wishon graphite adjusted to fit me. The SW and LW is Cobra One Snake bite with steel shaft KBS 125 High Rev. I have exactly 10 meters(11 yards) between all the clubs. Started my One Length journey at hcp 5. Now scratch and club champion on my club. Record round last year at 66 (par 72). Made 6 HIO’s in the last 6 years. So this shit works if you know what you are doing. 😀

    I use one length EQ1-NX 8i-LW. Then variable up to 3W. Love the same length, same middle of feet ball placement, same swing for all my six loftiest irons. Game changing short game. Choke up on LW out of sand, and voila. all is good. Im a 12.5 hdcp for the record. Looking to get a driver and putter fitting to get to a 9 hdcp this summer, cant wait!

    Agreed on the outcome. Key i found is that much easier to find the middle of the face more often with OL. So I get less distance drop off. Been gamin OL for over a year now and wont be changing back to VL

      I think it’s a great point that you can mix and match if you want. For all full and knockdown swings I grip my one lengths the same. Then for anything within 100 yards I’ll grip down on my one length wedges

  • @metalheads-golf

    Yeps, nice test and love it that you tried it out. There is more than you think in the concept. Cobra is unfortunately the only big brand known for it. I game the Pinhawk SL which have traditional loft and loft gaps are with even increments. This is also the same for the Wishon and 1Iron. The Cobra's are strong lofted and they have done variables with the lie angles. Would like you to take more in account. But great to see some extra attention on it. 🤘🏻😎🤘🏻

    • @GolfBusters

  • @jamesmc81
    @jamesmc81 Місяць тому +1

    Both these guys have really strong grips. Meaning they deloft they're irons which explains the extra distance on a 7 iron. But not much extra distance on a 5. One of tbe guys even said he opens the face of his 5i to get the right launch. With a more neutral grip they would hit the 7i higher but not as far, but better for approach. And i suspect that would deal with the gaping issue

    @WatchWatchlist 7 місяців тому +1

    You can cut down an iron from it's original length. Clubs are designed to be able to go up or down half an inch, some times an inch depending on the model. You just need to make adjustments to the swing weight and loft/lie accordingly.
    If you cut down a 4 iron from 38.50 to 37.00 you would throw in a tip weight or just apply lead tape. Bend the lie to a comfortable angle and make lie changes if necessary.
    Cutting down is easy but adding length is why you can't make any set into a single length. Things will get tricky really quickly. You could attempt it with butt weights.

  • @atfinthehouse8631
    @atfinthehouse8631 10 місяців тому +1

    Great irons. Weighting is excellent. The one length is great to limit the need to adjust body position for club use. Excellent for those with decreased or decreasing flexibility and mobility. I’d have cobra do a 2 and 3 iron about an 1” longer than the 5 through wedges. Then also add a chipper, and 56, 58, 60, 62 to the line at the same length as the 5-9 irons.
    I’d also do the hybrids 3, 4, 5 the same as the 2, 3 irons I suggested above 1” longer than the 5-9 irons.
    That would be my ideal full set.
    As far as fairway woods 3,5 I’m not sure the ideal length but I’d alter the bottom a little to make them better off the fairway and the rough.

      they do if you dont have enough swing speed. The answer to that is OL hybrids 5/4/3 - which are just ridiculously easy to use especially the 5 OL Hy Which i've tested but not bought yet. I play OL radspeeds. I have enough speed to hit my 5 (90 chs), but i use OL 4 and 3 hybrids after that.
