I’ve made a big mistake. Bought a 1 iron.

So, a few too many whiskeys and my fitter being available at stupid-o’clock (we were texting around 1 am) and now I’m a proud owner of a 1 iron...
Oh well, maybe I’ll learn  At least it looks great when people look at my bag
Merry Christmas everyone!

I’m waiting to see your review of Clear balls. You’re our only hope for someone that can pay $1200 for a dozen.....

:’-) lol they’re $90 a dozen! If enough people would be interested - I may buy some and see what happens emoji846.png

You have to pay a 1200 initiation fee just for the opportunity to buy them

No you can buy the first dozen for 90 bucks. Just ordered.

That might be a 1i I could actually hit. The only one I ever had looked like a knife.

Life is too short to wonder if you should have done something.

Have fun, swing away and post some pictures when you dirty that sucker up.

I get some funny (are you kidding me) looks having a 2i in the quiver.  If nothing else, it will make for some fun tee box banter and, quite possibly, become a collector item.

Nice iron, reminds me of the old Ping eye 1 iron that nearly everyone had in their bag at some time.

 

What are these 'clear balls' someone mentioned?

There was an article late last week about them. They are super exclusive. $90/dozen for first dozen. If you want more, you have to pay $1200 to be able to buy them.

Seems the more I hit it - the better it goes. I think it will stay in the bag for a while.

And thats my go-to shaft. Ive tried probably everything from Project X through OBANs, Aldilas, Oziks 🙂 This GD is feeling good. Im considering putting the Tour AD in my irons

Call me next time. I have a bridge to nowhere I can sell ya.

That should be fun to hit. It looks close to my G700’s and they are easy to get in the air.

Good stuff! I'm still a newb when it comes to shafts, but have Project X graphite's on my irons currently that seem to have done some good in general. Love my Aldila shafts I have for driver & woods, but damn, Tour AD's seem very much out of my league...

I carry a 2i with a 7i shaft that was $0.50 from a thrift shop. ‘70’s era Wilson. Great fun for long punch/recovery shots, rollers, wind. Mishits require hand traction and an orthopedist but it is a ton of fun to have in the bag
