Actually, Lee Trevino said "even God can't hit a 1 iron". And the 1 iron is a completely different breed of club, I've never seen anyone with one in their bag let alone use one.

 

I play with a 20+ handicap who carries one and hits one. Not well. And it is absolutely stupid and as long as he continues to try to hit it he will stay a 20+ capper. As a matter of fact, he can not hit driver either.

I also play with a guy who hits a 1 iron because he can't hit woods...... He can't hit the 1 iron either but I thinks he wants to have 14 clubs..

MY BAG-

Driver- Taylormade SLDR 12* (Speeder 7.2vc tour spec S)

3 Wood- Taylormade R11(bimatrix prototype S)

3 Hybrid- Ping I20(stock S)

Irons-Taylormade Tour Perferred MC ( C Taper S)

Wedges- 50, 54, and 58 SCOR4161( KBS)

Putter-Taylormade Ghost Corza.

He has a Ping Eye 2 2 iron and some 1 iron blade. Do not really remember because I try to not look when he hits it. The outcome is fairly predictable. Generally, he is only advancing the ball about the distance of a medium quality 7 iron shot.

Ok since it was brought up again. I still believe you can call the Mizzy Fli His and Titleist 712u's 2-3-4 irons and some others because they look very similar to regular GI irons. Pings new one, Adams, Callaway, all look vastly different than regular irons and would classify them as Utility or driving irons.

Since some one sorta resurrected this thread I will comment on my latest from the monster shop. I love to build experimental stuff so I am doing my latest. I took an Infiniti Assure 4 iron head and bent it back to 20* and installed an old Tommy Armour 1 iron flex steel shaft and left it at length and bumped the weight up in the sole. This iron would be classified by us old timers like RP and myself as a "shovel" but I want to see. I built it last weekend but due to work and the weather have not hit it yet. If it is a failed experiment after hitting and tweaking I will take it apart and put the components back in the bin until the next brainwave hits me.If it works I already have a name for me I am going to call it the super 4. You may ask why not a 3 iron? They don't make a 3 iron in that head

Driver ---- Callaway Big Bertha Alpha Speeder 565 R flex- - 7W TM V-Steel UST Pro Force Gold 65R---- Irons 5 thru PW 1980 Macgregor VIP Hogan Apex steel shafts--- SW -- Cleveland 588 56* S-400 Sensicore --- LW Vokey 58* SM5 L grind--- Putter 1997 Scotty Cameron Santa Fe Fluted Bulls Eye shaft--- Bag TM Flex Lite Stand---- Yeah I know only 11 clubs

If there's anyone on this board who can hit it, it's you!

 

Good luck with the experiment!

 

And WTH, if it doesn't work out, keep it around for the vermin, lol

 

Have a great week end

 

My Best,

Richard

Thanks RP I did hit it yesterday and it did hit pretty good but the downside is that I cannot hit as versitible shots as I can with the modified Ping I20 hybrid. It will not be disassembled for now though. I will probably rotate it out with the hybrid depending on wind conditions for that day
