ole gray Posted May 20, 2023 Share Posted May 20, 2023 Gird up ya drawers for OG's journey down One Length Lane Well, folks I've been busy lately trying all sorts of new toys this year, and now I'm jumping off the deep end with One Length irons. Say it ain't so! Yup, this ole country boy is girding up his loins and hopping face-first down One Length Lane. I'll have some pics and of course, a few videos and such to wet ya whistle while I travel down this road. First of all, I waited for the correct set which will make the journey as smooth as possible. I found what I was looking for with the COBRA KING LTDX ONE LENGTH IRONS 5-PW, GW GRAPHITE KBS PGI SENIOR 1* UPRIGHT setup. This had me licking my chops like a stud coon hound pup hopping at the opportunity for his first Friday night treeing. This is what they looked like right out of the box. Nice and shiny still in the plastic just waiting for me to do like my old coach said when I had my face planted on the 50-yard line. Throw a little dirt on it and get ya arse back out there! I will give you a little tidbit to naw on as I took the supposedly hardest iron to hit (5 Iron) out to my backyard net, and was whacking that sucker like a momma whupping her red-headed stepchild for stealing her hot peach pie. It felt good, really good but the proof of the pudding will come tomorrow morning when I take these puppies out to the range for their maiden voyage. Stay tuned now ya hear!

ole gray Posted May 21, 2023 Author Share Posted May 21, 2023 I took a GW, 9 Iron, & 5 Iron out to my golf course today to see how these perform off of grass. Geez the GW & 9 iron is soooooooo easy to launch high towering shots that I had to wait for one of those Delta Jets flying across the range from Atlanta to clear the air space. Now with the 5 iron, I was firing heat-seeking missiles about 50 feet off the ground. The jets from Atlanta had no worries with my 5 iron in hand. A couple of worms had their heads decapitated about 170 down the range as the ball was screaming along at Marc 5 speed. I spent a little time chipping on the practice green with the GW and surprisingly it worked pretty well. I might try to use the 5 iron has a chipping iron with it being 7 iron length it could be a secret weapon. I'm living on the wild side as the TM Stealth 2 irons are getting a rest tomorrow as I put the OL in play during our Monday points game.

ole gray Posted May 22, 2023 Author Share Posted May 22, 2023 @StrokerAce I'm seeing a lower ball flight with the 5 iron. Is that the case with yours? I'm putting the OLs in play today for their maiden voyage so it should be interesting. I was hitting the GW beautifully on the range yesterday in spite of it feeling kind of weird being long. I loved the high ball flight which should work well on approaches over traps and such. sirchunksalot 1 Quote Ping G430 Max Driver 10.5 Degree Titleist TSR1 4, 5, & 6 Hybrids Titleist T350 Irons 7 - W48 Cleveland CBX ZipCore 52 56 & 60 Degree Wedges LAB Mezz Max Broomstick Putter / TPT Shaft (Platinum @ 45/78) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once you get a pos that works for you keep it and don't deviate. Good luck on the first round.

ole gray Posted May 22, 2023 Author Share Posted May 22, 2023 My first round with the OL irons was not good. In fact, it was downright fugly as I had 48 strokes on the front and a little better on the back with a 42. I had too many topped shots today, especially with the short irons, and the downhill lies were brutal. I couldn't figure out where to put the ball in my stance. With only one range session I figured the first round would be a shat show so not too concerned about my lack of performance. I can tell you one thing I didn't lose a ball all day so that was certainly the pinnacle of my day. I realize gaming something so foreign to what I've been playing for decades is going to be a staunch challenge.

sirchunksalot Posted May 22, 2023 Share Posted May 22, 2023 I can attest to how strange it looks when you've got a longer club in your hand and seeing that puppy in a 7 iron position. I had my fitting for the Cobra 50th and got a sample of a OL hybrid and it did some crazy things to my head. But when I hit it, wow! I have no idea how the short irons look, but it bet is also very different. You'll get it @ole gray, I believe you're too good of a golfer not to.

ole gray Posted May 23, 2023 Author Share Posted May 23, 2023 The video below makes sense concerning the ball position with the OL irons. It's from Sterling and although some say to use the 7 iron ball position I tend to agree that adjusting up or back until it fits an individual's personal setup is key. That's what I will be working on this morning at the range prior to my round.

ole gray Posted May 28, 2023 Author Share Posted May 28, 2023 @StrokerAce & @sirchunksalot Guys I was really pumped to give the One Length Irons a thorough look but I had to go back to my TaylorMade Stealth HD irons. No doubt the OL irons could have worked for me if I had put in the time and practice however I couldn't resist the pull the HDs had on my heartstrings. I grabbed the OL irons on a whelm as I was shanking the shat out of the HDs and I was blaming it on them when the ole Indian, not the arrow was causing the sidewinders. Anyways I have a lot of golf this summer with a couple of buddy trips out of town and I need to have the irons that will perform consistently best for me back in the sack. sirchunksalot and russtopherb 2 Quote Ping G430 Max Driver 10.5 Degree Titleist TSR1 4, 5, & 6 Hybrids Titleist T350 Irons 7 - W48 Cleveland CBX ZipCore 52 56 & 60 Degree Wedges LAB Mezz Max Broomstick Putter / TPT Shaft (Platinum @ 45/78) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyways I have a lot of golf this summer with a couple of buddy trips out of town and I need to have the irons that will perform consistently best for me back in the sack. You're not the first to find that hybrid-style irons work better than OL for some folks, I've seen a lot of people try them out but ultimately end back with the variable length hybrid-style. I know @Wedgie tried OL a few times but ended up going back to the Cleveland Launchers. I don't know if it's just being so used to variable length and making the adjustment to OL harder, or if it's the difficulty in launching the lower lofted OL irons that's more the the cause. I know with me, if I could have launched the 5i/6i in OL, I'd be using them right now because the scoring irons and wedges were total money for me (now that I've picked up some speed over the past few years I actually do want to give OL another shot, FWIW). Whatever gives you the most comfort and helps you score is what matters. ole gray and sirchunksalot 2 Quote In my carry bag: ST-X 10.5* Kai'li Blue R Flex ST-Z 15* Kai/li Blue R Flex ST-Z 4h Linq Blue R Flex Launcher 5h Launcher CBX 6i-PW CBX 54* & 58* Huntington Beach #10 e12 Contact CURRENTLY TESTING - Mizuno Long Game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did the OL experiment for 1 golf season. I found the low irons flew too high and could not get the ball to the back of the green. I was "clubbing up" from the OL GW to a standard SW and it was flying further. I really enjoyed playing the ball from 1 single position and not having to worry about any minor adjustments. I actually had my career best round with OLs in the bag but overall decided to move away from them for the same reason as you did. I dont think I will play them again but I do think they could be a valuable tool in teaching my young kids how to play one day. I dont regret doing the experiment and certainly understand why some people prefer to play with them.

panhndl Posted June 9, 2023 Share Posted June 9, 2023 I switched to one length last year. I bought an inexpensive one length 4 iron and just tested it against my standard 4 iron. While my standard 4i would definitely fly further when I had nice clean shot, I was more consistently hitting the one length 4i. This spring I almost quit and ordered a set of TM Stealth HD clubs, but I stuck with it and am pretty happy right now. While everyone just says to do your 7i set up on every club, I don’t think that really works. Who swings their 4i the same as the GW? Anyway, I’ve found minor changes in stance and ball placement do help with my success, but the ball placement changes are pretty minor. Most important for me was to find the swing that worked faster or slower depending on the club/lie/distance. ole gray 1 Quote Driver: Ping G425 Max 10.5 Fujikara Speeder NX 50r #3, #5, #7 fairway woods 1 Iron Golf 5-LW irons 1 Iron Golf Scotty Cameron Del Mar Lefties Rule!
