Grasper Parsnip Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 (edited) I hadnt played golf for almost 4 years but had been thinking about building a set of Irons to my specifications, Last week I decided to give it another go and build a set. I have always liked the Idea of single length irons but to me they should all be the same head weight and the same Lie in this case 63 degrees, unlike the Cobras. I just bought a set of Tom Wishon EQ1 NX... 5 to SW club heads and I have taken them to the clubmaker here where we have cut the stepless shafts, as I like the look of them, tip trim to 8 iron, then base cut to 36.5". We then added tungsten putty to make all of the heads exactly 280g as they are standard at 275g each with a 63 Degree lie angle but there is a 3 gram dispersion allowance in the quality control of the head weights when you get them although most were spot on at 275g. We added between 5g and 8G to each of the 8 club heads to get to 280 grams exactly. When we built the first one with the right grip we got a swingweight of roughly D3, I was aiming for anything between D1 to D3 providing they were all exactly the same swingweight. after allowing for putting 2 wraps of tape on the lower part of the grips to cut the amount of taper on the grips. First before I began this venture I tested my swingspeed on trackman with my old 8 iron which measures 36.5 Inches in length and it was between 84 and 86 MPH so that should be good enough to get a decent result with the 5 iron 1 length 24 degree Iron. The clubs will be totally finished by Tuesday 2nd Nov so weather permitting I will take them to the range for a thorough distance gap test, I expect them to perform really well, even if I dont, lol.

Fewer matching irons and 6º scoring club gaps because I add the driving iron for scary driving holes. Also slightly wider gap between longest fwy wood and 5-iron. In the past, I've found hybrids to be hooking machines. I assumed it was a stereotype but it was very much true. If the new ones are better, and if I could eliminate the driving iron, the small tweak to the rest of the set could be helpful as well. Anyway, that what I'm pondering.

The years I spent with it did result in pretty straight shots with all clubs. I gave up on it to gain more distance, but I still play straight shots as my normal shot shape.

From a practical hitting, I can't see that a 1.5 gap would give you enough on course difference to warrant carrying both. As for hybrids, any distrust of them could/should be put to rest watching an hour of the LPGA on a weekend. They absolutely laser in Hybrids with no issue. The 1.5º gap would indeed be insignifcant in two fairway woods or two hybrids. In a fairway wood and a hybrid, however, it can be a full-fledged one-club gap. I think that I may hook hybrids because the lie angles are too upright for the lengths, and if I shorten the lengths to match the lie angles, the price in distance would pop up. Just my guess. Hybrids with a more rocker-type sole would mitigate this.

I switched to hybrids in the 2 iron / 5w slot, using the TM Stage 2 Tour. They work moderately well, but started having the occasional spacey result. After some 2i use, I've decided to give an MP20 HMB 2i a shot in that slot. So far (one round), I hit it pretty well. Will start the season with it in the bag.
