    I was working for Wilson as a production engineer and actually built these clubs. We made 5 of them at our plant in Tullahoma, Tn. I sent 4 to the headquarters in Chicago where John picked out one to play. I STILL HAVE THE ONE I KEPT. NO IT IS NOT FOR SALE. It is a very playable club and I have hit it a few times. It is now put away and is a great story for me.

    I carried one for years my dad called it the stroke saver, for when you driver went bad.
    In highschool and college it was always in my bag. My favorite club was my ping 2 wood.

      @@thetowndrunk988 - yes, for sure. I also saw something saying it was a 0-iron as well, when I was double-checking. But I'm pretty sure I'm good with saying it was a 1, as the actual irons from the 1993 tournament was auctioned a few years back. I tried to link it but I don't think youtube allowed it. Entire set of irons sold for only $500 at the time, but more importantly it was a 1-iron in the set. I think the 0 came out in 1995, after he had won the Open at St Andrews. We are discussing such a small detail, but it was just because I was a huge fan of Daly around this period, and I remember the notoriety of the 0-iron (I am left-handed so it was unavailable to me!)

I still have a 14° driving iron but I would absolutely kill for a lower lofted iron like this. They simply do not make them anymore. It's either a hybrid or a thicker driving iron which sucks because I love hitting longer irons.

    it's called a "driving" iron for a reason obviously, but most golfers don't need it for accuracy, rather due to the fact that average players (Daly included) couldn't turn a driver over right-to-left not only from a lack of loft but also the pulling motion they use to keep the face open at impact to get the driver off the ground. 12 degrees is more than enough. Micah Morris made a video with Kyle Berkshire on this very subject

    I hit driver off the deck probably on average 3 times a round. Especially on par 5s. How is this a problem? I’m usually worse off the tee than I am from the fairway with it. Sometimes when I am properly struggling off the tee, I hit driver from the tee box without a tee. I’m not even that good. Only 6 handicap. I’m sure if you got actual golfers to play it, they’d do ok.
    I’d probably love one. The lower centre of the club than driver would make it easier to hit than driver from the fairway I think. Although could be wrong. Got a mate with a blade 2 iron and that thing is rough in my hands and he crushes it. It is like a butter knife.

    On one of the few occasions Daly visited my country, I took the opportunity to watch him play; I really wanted to see him rip his driver. But he'd just started his 'play irons-only' period, so that's what he did, I was very disappointed. He was paired with Norman and Woosnam, and was only just behind their drives with this zero iron.

    For whatever reason as a kid learning the game with my father I naturally hit irons sky high and was/am a good iron player never liked the way fairway wood felt looked something in my head couldn’t get past a driver looking head that you can’t tee up so instead of 3-5 woods I’ve always had well I call it a driving iron, a 2 iron 3 iron so fourth
