First I have seen them.  Interesting. I think a lot comes down to having a good fitter to be able to look at your numbers and find the right combinations that work for your individual swing.  Golf is very much mental, so if its something that gives a player confidence versus make them second guess or "feel funny cause its different than what I am used to", they will take better swings.

I am don't feel I have an issue. My lofts are as follows: 5i is 24* and 4 degree gaps thru 9i, (9i is 40*) then 5 degree gaps 9-LW (60*)
based on carry about a 12-14 yrd gap thru the bag.
From my research on the subject, gapping becomes an issue for the lower lofted irons if the players swing speed is on the lower end.  Can't compensate for the shorter shaft length as well.

Here it goes
Driver: 10* Titelist TSR2 44.5" +4g / Tensei Blue 65 s / Pure Pro Mid grips
Titleist TSR2 18* Hybrid  / Tensei 1k Black 75 S / Pure Pro Mid Grips
Irons: Wishon EQ-1NX Single Length 5-9,PW,GW,SW,LW / 37" length / Nippon Pro 950GH S-Flex 4-iron / Pure Pro Mid grips
Putter: Wishon Cavity Black CB2 / 35" / 4* loft / 74* lie
 
 

Thanks.  Long story short, I was getting back into golf after a 20 year hiatus and the single length was interesting to me.  I found a set used of Wishon Sterling single lengths on eBay for ~$400 and really liked them.  Tom Wishon (who if you Google appears to be the godfather of club making and club fitting) rolled out a 2nd gen version so I check'ed them out, went to a local fitter near me and here we are.  Ha
I did try the Cobra single length and did not like them nearly as much.  I think with single lengths it is import to work with a good fitter to make sure gapping and weighting is appropriate.
I just responded above what I think some advantages for me are.

For me makes what I call "divot location" much easier. One less variable of the big 4. (Strike Location, Face Angle, Path Direction, Divot location)
I think there is also a level of confidence that goes along with having consistency of setup.
Might be a stretch but an ancillary benefit of being easier to warm up before a round.  Grab a 9 iron or 5 iron... same thing.  Leaves more time to warm up dialing in the feels on wedge shots, chipping around the green.

As I had to hang up the boxing gloves, it allows me to scratch the competitive itch in a body friendly way 🙂 
4. What brings you to MyGolfSpy? Do you already know any other Spies?
Enjoy reading the product tests and reviews.  I don't know any spies in real life, but I bet they are out there lurking in the shadows.
5. Where are you from? What is your home course?
Metro Detroit, MI.  DGC
6. What are the best and worst things about golf in your region?
The amount of quality courses within a 3 hour drive. The weather in season is usually great.  The off-season can be cold and long.  It would be nice if there were more indoor facilities to help keep your game sharp while there is snow on the ground.
