Welcome! 

What's the biggest advantage you find with single length?

[William P]

Welcome to the Forum @lakland5strng. As I stated earlier, not a better group to be found anywhere.

Welcome to the site!  Interesting irons you have. I'll have to look them up! Have you found any advantages using the 1 length?

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.

Aweomse!

So how do you find gapping? That seems to always be the tricky part... but maybe if you stop at 5 iron it should be okay.

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.

any thoughts on these combo length irons?  They have single length irons as well.  Bryson is now using them.

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.

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.

Welcome!  I love the idea of single length clubs.

I’ve never heard of Wishon irons. Glad to hear you’re having success with single length. I’ve been interested in them for some time more but haven’t pulled the trigger or tested any yet. MGS had an article out alleging single length irons would help most golfers shoot lower scores. I couldn’t find the article when doing a quick search but if I find it I’ll edit this post and put a link.

My gapping is right at about 10-12 yds. I don't find that the lower lofts are the problem. I find that the higher lofts give me the most headache. PW, GW, LW tend to balloon in the wind so I usually have to hit a bit more club than my playing partners. I've learned to accept it and I've adapted some, but sometimes I get it wrong and pay the price (splash!).
