- Anyone in Northerm Utah with 1 Irons? -- Charles, 20:06:57 04/17/13 Wed
I know I can return the 1 Irons within 30 days but I need to touch and feel the golf clubs before I order them. Is there anyone who lives in Northern Utah that owns a set of 1 Irons and will let me touch and feel their clubs?

- The Truth or Understatement -- Randall, 15:39:45 05/13/13 Mon
My set of 1 Irons was delivered this morning and I took them to the range this afternoon. I got the complete Used-Demo set of irons (#3 - LW). First of all they look fantastic and felt natural for me right out of the box. The fitting method they use is spot on! Second of all they hit like a dream. I've been playing golf for over forty years and have never hit iron shots so sweet. The great part is that I know it will only get better.
I was a bit skeptical of all the great things being said about these clubs on this forum and other golf forums, but now I realize that if anything, the endorsements are understated. I could spout superlatives about these clubs all day long but unless you try them you'll never fully understand.
Great clubs and a great company to work with!

- 1 Irons -- Tommy Astaphan, 18:26:15 05/07/13 Tue
I have tried all brands of golf clubs. Then I came across 1Iron Golf. I called and Mr. Lake himself returned my call. That was, in and of itself, a big shocker. He was extremely cordial, patient and helpful. He was also quite honest in advising me that a used/demo set was as good a buy as a new set of irons. Based on the discussion with him, from which I sensed a person of integrity, I ordered the full set - 3 - LW, driver and woods. I had not used a driver in many years as I was as wayward off the tee with one as ever can be.
Much to my surprise after practising on the range for a bit I could hit the driver reasonably well, and with consistency. I still used irons off the tee, depending on the hole.
As for the irons, I am 99% dead straight down the middle of the fairway, even off the tee, with the irons.
All hyperbole aside, the irons are absolutely perfect. The quality is unmatchable, the shafts are amazing, and the ease with which I hit the irons is mindboggling. My golf mates are still amazed even after seeing me play them for months. They cannot believe the profound consistency - and length - with which I hit these irons. I am within a few feet of them off the tee, sometimes equal too, or ahead of them, they with drivers and me with the 3 iron. And that 4 out of 5 times.
In summary, Mr. Lake is quite modest in his marketing of his product. I am certain that if he were to get Tiger Woods to use 1 Iron Golf clubs, Tiger will win every Major for the next five years!
Btw, I bought a used set and they were perfectly new. I wonder whether they mistakenly sent me a new set? Hmmm.
1 Iron Golf Clubs. The very Best !!

- New clubs arrived -- Jeff, 19:26:58 05/06/13 Mon
Got my new set of 1 Irons today and they looked and felt great right out of the box. For the first time I know what a solid and well designed set feels like. I also know what a properly fitted set feels like - like they're a part of me that was missing.
Went to the range as suggested by the Playability Tips that I received and hit a large bucket of balls (80). Used all the irons and had only 4 miss-hits that were 100% my fault. Ball flight was high and long plus unbelievably straight. Thank you 1 Iron Golf for great clubs and excellent customer service.

- A little love for lefties -- Jake, 19:06:53 04/29/13 Mon
Hi there,
I bought the set of LH irons recently and in my limited time to practice have made definite gains in consistency. I'm a fan of the system and a believer it will help someone like me who cannot practice endlessly and can now take club length out of the equation. So I'm a happy customer but definitely left wanting for the SW, woods and driver in left-hand. Is there any chance we are going to see a little love for the lefties at any time?

- From Australia....just bought a set -- Dennis (Couldn't be happier), 18:38:21 04/24/13 Wed
Hi,
I received my 1 Iron Golf set a week or so ago (delivery to Australia under a week) and didn't have time to follow all the instructions like practicing first so I took the new set to a 9 hole event on a proper par 72 ACR rating course that I had to play in. Well, well, well, I couldn't believe it, how embarrassing, I shot 7 under my handicap. There were a lot of questions asked so I said it was the new 1 Iron Golf clubs I got 2 days ago.
PS: I only bought #5-PW in irons and the #5 and #7 woods and that's what I used
Thanks 1 Iron golf - I just received the Driver, #3 wood and all the other wedges today. Thanks again

- 3 Iron Results are Awesome! -- Brian Bigham (Thrilled), 12:31:21 04/01/13 Mon
I have 3 - LW set of 1 Iron Golf clubs and I have read many people doubt that the long irons will work as well as the short irons with this system. Well let me tell you in the past I left my 3 iron out of my bag and would tenatively use my 4 iron when I had a 210 yard shot and try to smooth a swing hoping to make solid contact. Now with my 1 Irons I love my 3 iron and have total confidence when standing over the ball with it. In a recent best ball tournament we were 227 away on an uphill fairway with a slight breeze in our faces. My playing partners pulled out their 3 woods and couldn't reach the green, but I did with my 1 Iron 3 iron. I love the confidence with every club in the bag.

- Absolutely the Best! -- Fast Mikey (Very Happy), 04:46:35 04/14/13 Sun
Ordered used/demo 3-P plus sand. Also ordered new driver.
Received all in less than one week. Used/demo clubs look brand new - I cannot tell they have ever been used.
I tried out my clubs on the driving range yesterday (50 balls) and I am thrilled. I am on the shorter side (5' 7") and having clubs that that fit me properly makes a huge difference. For example - No more hard to control long irons that are just too darn long to properly control during the swing. Same goes for the driver. I was able to hit all the clubs straighter than I normally do and with very few miss-hits. I wished I would have purchased these clubs years ago. Why aren't more companies offering these single length clubs?
As far as any potential loss in distance especially with the longer irons and driver - I noted none. I was reaching the all my normal distances (and sometimes longer) with each club. Only now I am much more consistent with each and every club.
After hitting 50 balls on the range, I would have no concerns about going straight to the course for a normal round. For me, the time to get acclimated to these clubs was negligible.
I'll post again after I play a few rounds.
Thank You David and 1Iron for a really great product.

- Very Cool -- Rock form Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio, 05:53:51 04/12/13 Fri
Ordered and received 3-P plus gap, sand, and, lob.
Any body thats been reading this forum hears the same thing over and over: Great service, Exceeded expectations, quick delivery, used/demo clubs great shape, wish I would have done this earler, clubs go further and straighter.
Well, I'm another saying the same things
Ordered Clubs and within two business days they were here across the state.
Used/demo 3-p are in excellent if not near new condition maybe a smudge or ball mark on face.
Beautifully designed clubs, pictures do them no justice.
Now for performance. Out of about 50 balls I had very few mishits. What really suprised me was the ones I did mishit went straight also. They launch em high and far. They really do work.
I'll post again after more practice.
Thankyou David and 1Iron for an awsome product

- Long and straight -- Chris, 19:16:58 04/02/13 Tue
My 1 Irons hit longer and straighter than any irons I've ever played. Anybody who thinks that a shorter than conventional #3 or #4 iron can't produce increased distance is only fooling themselves. My irons are the length of a normal #8 iron and yet I hit my #3 and #4 irons much farther than conventional irons and can nail them 10 out of 10 times. The key factor is that they fit me properly which allows my body to generate a lot more power - controlled power.

I never write reviews on products, but, this time I could not. Ive only been golfing for 9 month I took lessons before I stepped onto the course. During the lessons we used only the 8 iron. I was very good at the 9i and up. These clubs play just like the 8-9 irons im good at.
Unbelievable. I dont understand why more manufactures are not on board with this concept.
Im 3 iron was going 210, but my shorter irons were not as long as other clubs. Maybe due to different lofts than im used to.
I was 80% accurate with the 3 iron as far as hitting the fairway.
Never going back to the old clubs!

- Handicap steadily going down -- Josh, 07:07:00 03/29/13 Fri
I bought a full set of 1-Irons mid-summer of last year and have watched my handicap drop steadily ever since. In my prime I carried a 6 handicap but over the years it had gone up to 18. I'm not as strong and supple as I once was (I hate getting old) and this was certainly the single factor in my golfing woes. My frustration led me to almost give up the game until I ran across the 1 Iron Golf website. I thought that I'd give it a shot in a last ditch effort, and I'm thrilled that I did. In eight months my handicap has dropped to an 8 and it is 100% due to these clubs.
I cannot thank 1 Iron Golf enough for making golf enjoyable again and I will sing their praises from the rooftops.

- Turn back the clock -- Jon, 09:14:58 03/10/13 Sun
Just like many of the people who have posted on this forum over the past seven or eight years, I waited two years after I found the 1 Iron Golf website before buying a set of 1 Irons. And just like all of these golfers I wish I could turn back the clock and have played much better golf over the past two seasons. All of those posts have included the same message - don't wait, buy now. But like most people I did wait and now I want to go back in time and correct that mistake.
The return policy posted on the 1 Iron Golf website states: "...the reason that we have offered a 30-day return policy for the past fifteen years while all of the other golf club manufacturers have not is simply because we do not get returns. Once you try our golf clubs you will understand why."
This is an understatement because once you unpack the clubs and hold them in your hands you will understand why they don't get returns. They fit and feel perfect right out of the box and when you play them you will be amazed.
My strong advice is not to do what I did and end up wishing you could turn back the hands of time.
Jon

I hate to use the word, but unbelievable is the only word that I can use. I purchased all of the irons and all of the woods including the driver. Typically, I buy a new set of high-end clubs every four years and have seen no improvement whatsoever. I bought the 1 Irons and my handicap dropped 5 strokes within the first month. These clubs felt right the first time I picked them up and my game has improved from the first swing.
There is no question that if you want to drop stokes get these clubs - now. Better distance and the control/accuracy is phenomenal.

- Delighted -- Dan, 14:33:22 01/24/13 Thu
I’m a 73 year old golfer who has been playing the game for about 65 years. For the past few years my game has been heading down hill and the enjoyment waning. After a round of poor ball striking while playing in a local tournament last fall, I vowed to get competitive again or give up the game. Shortly after that, I stumbled across a reference to 1 Iron Golf on an Internet forum. I thoroughly researched the concept, the clubs, the company, talked at length to David Lake, and ordered a demo set of 3 - LW 1 Iron clubs. I received the clubs in the middle of November.
Getting familiar with the “new” clubs (and they did appear to be brand new) got me back to practicing regularly on the range. It took a few weeks to identify and begin to correct the flaws that had crept into my swing.
Once I started getting the swing straightened out, I really started to enjoy the new irons. Call me weird, but for me the greatest enjoyment in golf has always been hitting it “pure.” These clubs deliver that little endorphin rush more often than any clubs I've had — shot after shot. Distance with all the irons is increasing — at my age, that’s amazing. On average, my carry is about 10 to 12 yards farther now than it was at any time in the past eight years. More importantly, the trajectory and accuracy are excellent.

- Wish I'd have done this years ago -- Chris, 19:54:16 01/23/13 Wed
After looking at the 1 Iron Golf website for the past four years I finally broke down and purchased a full set of irons and wedges plus all of the woods and driver. It took me all that time to convince myself that the 1 Iron Golf System had merit. Now I could kick myself for not buying them four years ago.
They say you can't buy a game of golf but whoever originally made that statement obviously never played a set of 1 Irons. From the first moment that I held the clubs in my hands I knew good things were going to happen - and they did! Just like everybody else it took me a few trips to the range after studying the Playability Tips to become fully comfortable using only one swing and ball position. After that it was magic! I'm striking the ball at a level that I never thought I was capable of and my distances and accuracy are beyond my wildest dreams. I broke 80 yesterday (79) and I'd never shot lower than an 86 in my life. I know that it will only get better from here on out.
My advice is not to make the same mistake I did and waste years playing bad golf. Get a set of 1 Irons now and see what good ball striking really feels like.

Just a quick note to say, "Happy Holidays" and let you know about my ACE on 9/26/2012. I was playing Hole #18, a 124 yard par 3, at Sugar Ridge Golf Club in Lawrenceburg, Indiana with my regular golfin' buddies, none of whom has ever had a "Hole-in-One". I hit my "1 Iron" #9 iron into a sloping green about 5-6 yards past the pin with just enough spin to get it trickling back down the slope towards the hole. As the ball rolled towards the hole, it paused briefly on the edge of the cup and then toppled in. ACE, Bay-bee!! My bar tab was $68.00.

What can I say that hasn't already been said by the hundreds of satisfied 1-iron players...these clubs are awesome!
I ordered my blubs a little over two weeks ago and they arrived within 5 days....5 DAYS!! For international post, in particular sending to Hobart TAS, that has to be a record.
Since receiving the clubs, I've been to the range, played some rounds and played a comp. Every time I stand over the ball, I have confidence in striking cleanly and in the direction I intend with the right distance - everything that I imagine a golf shot is meant to be.
I've had the naysayers do their thing:'It won't work', 'Longs irons aren't going to get anywhere near 180m'. In the words of Liza Minelli "BALLS TO YOU!!!"
These clubs work a treat, I recommend them to all who ask.

My Christmas present arrived today - a beautiful set of 1 Irons!!! I got the driver, #3, #5 fairway woods, and the #3 iron through LW. The irons fit me perfectly just like my old #8 iron (my W-T-F is in the 34"-34.9" range) and they feel and swing awesome. The driver and fairway woods give me a real sense of controlled power (the driver is gorgeous). I never understood where it explained on the website about a perfectly balanced golf club but after swinging one of these I understand perfectly. Can't wait to get these babies out on the range. Will report back.
By the way, fantastic customer service - thank you 1 Iron Golf.

- Just Purchased -- Randy, 14:18:51 11/30/12 Fri
Well after kicking around this site for 2 years I finally pulled the trigger. I bought the used/demo 3-PW,GW,SW,LW set today and I wish they were here already. I'm a Par 3 guru since I live on a 9 hole par 3 course. I usually shoot about 5-6 over for 9 holes but I struggle like everyone else on my longer irons. On a regular course I'm routinely in the high 90's and 100's because I honestly don't practice with the driver and I have trouble with the long irons and frustration sets in. Here's hoping I can get some consistency above my 7 iron and I can use the extra time to work on my driver. I play Callaway X-12's and hit the 8 iron about 150. It's 37.5 degrees compared to the 39 degrees of the 1 iron 8 iron so there shouldn't be too much of a distance loss to notice. That's my money club that I use on a specific hole every time with pretty much the same result so it should be a good barometer. Interestingly enough I read a gentleman's post that had the same W-T-F measurement I have (34-34.9) and he said his clubs were 36" long which is the exact length of my 8 iron. I know these clubs won't instantly drop my handicap and I will have to put the time in but I'm very much looking forward to the journey.

I want to start by saying that the concept makes sense to me, the golfer who likes to have fun and is yet to break 100.
What throws me off is the lack of any negative feedback. It reminds me of the saying if it seems to good to be true, it probably is. I can understand why there wouldn't be much negative feedback on this site, but why not anywhere on the internet?
I work at a private golf course in Southern California. I've spoken with all the PGA Pros here and they all have the same reaction; they think that the low irons would work fine but that the higher irons just wouldn't work well.

Dear 1 Iron Golf,
Just purchased my set of clubs 10 days ago, you have great service as they were delivered to me in Edmonton Alberta, Canada 5 days from order. I just wanted to let you know that I'm shocked at the craftsmanship of these clubs, your pictures on the site do not due them justice.
It is winter here so will not be able to use until February when I go south for a golf trip, but just swinging them in my house they feel awesome. After I ordered I wondered what the shaft length would be comparable to my existing set of clubs, thinking they would match my 8 iron as I hit that club the best, they do match.
Wish I would have ordered these 3 years ago when I first came across your site, will post to the forum after my golf trip in February.

- Purchase feedback -- Alec Davies, 10:14:12 11/23/12 Fri
Day 3 – Took to the range my 7i together with the 7w and 5w. After preparing for the woods by hitting 20 7i’s and started hitting the 7w from the deck and was amazed at how well I was hitting it. This being against a background of not being able to hit a full length utility or wood for over 18 months. I then started hitting the 5w from the tee and nailing it.
Since these 3 daily visits to the range I have been alternating with going to the range and playing at the club. And although this is no magic wand situation and I still hit the occasional bad shot, my bad shots are reasonable. However more importantly I am hitting a good deal more great shots that I still get a buzz from recalling. This is beginning to create a pot of positive thinking when I arrive at the tee and recalling great drives or hits to a par 3 i.e. my confidence is increasing even after this short period of I have also hit the 5w direct from the turf with good effect something unthinkable before getting my 1-Irons.
Other points:
1. My 1-Irons are the equivalent length of my old 6i so this is producing a much more upright swing for most of my clubs. And it is this that takes some getting used to, both mentally and physically, with the “shorter” irons. However it is now feeling perfectly regular to reach for my 6i length 9i and swing my 1-Iron swing. This swing seems to transfer easily to the longer length woods.
2. In 2009 I survived a serious motorway car crash which left me out of the game for 9 months. I still have whiplash issues in addition to various aches and pains. Against this background I have noticed that the more upright 1-Iron swing is giving a pleasant bi-product in that I am feeling a lot less achy after playing thanks I believe to my body being ‘forced’ into a more efficient position. It would be nice to know if others have experienced this too.
3. One concern that I am still debating how to resolve is the fact that the supplied grips are atrocious on the wet. Playing in the rain this last Tuesday was awful. The clubs were not simply twisting on impact but were quiet literally slipping through the hands as I approached the ball resulting in the club ploughing into the ground some 6 inches behind the ball! The irony is that they are superb in the dry, however here in the UK it is more likely to be wet rather than dry! A point for David Lake to consider is fitting or at least giving the option for temperate (i.e. wet!) country dwellers to have a grip that’s more suitable for the wet as well as the dry.
In summary and wet weather performance aside I am very pleased with my purchase and am looking forward to enjoying more than ever this wonderful game we call golf.
PS Hope I haven’t rambled too much!

- Blown Away -- Brad, 21:12:32 11/19/12 Mon
I'm completely blown away by my new 1 Irons in every respect: quality, looks, solid feel, and especially performance. I was expecting it to take some time for me to get used to playing single-length clubs but this wasn't the case at all. Probably because they all fit me perfectly everything just felt natural and fell right into place. My favorite iron has always been my #8 and, lo and behold, when I unpacked my irons they were exactly the same length as my Ping #8 iron. 1 Iron's fitting formula is right on the mark.
Thanks 1 Iron Golf for a tremendous product and your customer service is second to none.

Well, due to some nice weather here in PA, I got play 18 holes Saturday and this morning. Saturday I shot a 75, my best score this year. And this morning I shot a 1 under, 71! That was the first time in 27 years of golf, that I have ever broken par. I have been playing 1irons for about 7 seasons now. I was a 16 handicap when I got them, I am an 8 now. I have gotten steadily better every year and I credit the clubs with taking the thinking and anxiety out of playing golf. I am actually on my 3rd set of 1irons because my Dad and Son wanted my first 2 sets. If you are not sure about taking the plunge, do yourself a favor and try them. You will become a more consistant player. I regularly beat my friends that have the latest and greatest iron sets every year. Marketing doesn't win, consistancy does.

Well today was my second trip to the driving range and this time i took the 5i, 7i, 9i and LW. I took out a 100 balls as the special made them the same price as 75 (sorry David I know you say stick with 50!) I started hitting with my 7i which felt familiar following on form yesterdays practice, hit some nice straight shots although still this 10 yards back form my old clubs. To this end I am going to take my old 6i and hit maybe 5 balls and get a comparison as at the moment the weather is running at 6c degrees plus it's range balls, so maybe these aspects are affecting distance. David warns against hitting your old clubs so this is a one-off experiment. I then grabbed my 5i which is a club I haven't been able to hit for quite a while in fact I had replaced it with a 24d rescue. Out of 20 balls hit there where 5 long but not nice shots but that meant 15 were there or there abouts on target which is a 75% hit rate, a figure unheard off with my old clubs. I then hit good shots with my 9i and LW. I don't have any trouble switching clubs and am not in the least fazed by hitting longer "short" irons. If, like me, you believe in the logic of the system and of grooving just the one swing for all clubs you will be in a positive frame of mind. I have the state of mind that every swing with every club is also practice for the next swing no matter the club in hand.
I am pleased with the way things are progressing as I groove the one swing approach and follow the Playability Tips.
I am hitting the 6i about 150 yards against this can anyone recommend a ball that is working well for them with the 1-Irons?
Many thanks and I hope these ramblings aren't boring you all!

- The Best Set of Clubs I've Ever Owned -- Ian, 13:12:41 11/02/12 Fri
I've had my set for about 2 years now and feel I owe it to David Lake to comment. I have the 3 iron down to the LW. I use the 3 iron only at the range and I really did struggle for the first few months to hit them. In time though they began to work for me. My previous set were Wilson Di 7's fitted for me. I found that my 1 irons are anywhere between the same distance and 2 clubs shorter depending on conditions and how I am playing. Crucially though they are incredibly straight - even the long irons which I've always struggled to hit previously.
I did change the grips to thinner grips equivalent to Ping Aqua's as I have incredibly small hands for a male and found this easier for me - sorry David!
Two years on and I'm so happy with them. I recommend them to everyone I play with. The concept is so sound! I don't play as much as I'd like at the moment - probably only about four competition rounds in the last year due to circumstances. However, in these four rounds I've come 3rd once and won the other three competitions although one was a team event. I feel this shows the true value of the clubs. My swing is truly ingrained to the point I am picking my clubs up, hitting a few balls on the range before going on the course with confidence and producing results despite not having played on some occasions for months leading up to the competition.
In short, if you are thinking of getting a set, stop thinking, take the plunge and get them. It's the best golfing decision I,ve ever made. Thank you David Lake!

- Initial review -- Alec Davies, 10:18:54 10/31/12 Wed
Here is my initial review of my 1-Iron golf clubs in relaton to delivery, condition and initial range visit.
1) Delivery to the UK - I ordered my clubs on the evening of the 21st october 2012 and received said clubs early afternoon on the 29th October 2012. Sent by Fedex and received with the packaging showing little evidence of its near 4000 mile journey
2) After unpacking the well packed clubs I was very pleased with their condition. I had ordered a used/demo set however each club was in first class condition and nay a mark on them. The only difference between the demo set and the new 3 wood was a little covering of heat-shrunk plastic on the 3 wood!
3) Today (31st October) I made it to the range for my first hit of the clubs and in accordance with the Playability Tips started to hit with the 8 iron. I found I could hit it with ease with quite a high trajectory and essentially straight plus a few overly-faded shots upto 30 yards off line with only one 80 yard mis-hit out of 35 balls. I had taken with me an 8i, 6i, PW and GW on this first visit. So I reached for the 6i and proceeded to hit the best 10 6i's I have ever hit with a trajectory more akin to my old 8 iron (Yonex c280 Cyberstar - Graphite reg). I did the same with my PW and then the GW which looks to have filled a hole for me on those 80 yard shots. All in all an excellent first visit to the range. I found that you need to 'stand tall' and not crouch over at all, this making for a much better strike. I think at this time I may be losing approximately 10 yards but getting much better accuracy and I am sure that the distance will return as I practice and find the best speed/tempo for me and the club to 'connect' fully.
As a background note to this feedback I am a 17 (17.2) handicapper and perhaps more importantly, and having read the forum messages and David's website extensively, I had already started playing the ball out of the middle of my stance and had even cut down my 21d and 24d rescue clubs to the equivalent of my 7i and found no loss of distance and much better striking. It was this that convinced me that the concept was worth buying into. With my WTF measurement the 1-Irons received are equivalent to my old 6 iron so there is still some physical changes to get used to but I'm sure these previous changes have helped facilitate through to the 1-Irons.
In short very pleased and looking forward to my next range visit tomorrow.
Regards

- Used clubs -- Craig, 21:07:41 10/30/12 Tue
I purchased a used-demo set of irons and used-demo driver which were delivered yesterday. Great service!! I got to thinking about it and not only did I save $375 by buying the used-demos but I also saved $62 in sales tax and another $20 in shipping. Great price!!
They may be used-demos but they look practically brand new to me. The biggest thing is how they hit the ball...zzooooommmm off the clubface with no mishits out of a full bucket of balls. I'm guessing that every iron is about 3 to 5 yards farther than my Callaways and straight where I'm aiming.

- Sparks -- Steve C., 17:07:12 10/26/12 Fri
Since it's been getting darker and darker out when I play now, several people that I play with have noticed Sparks when I tee off with the 1 Iron Driver. The other day it was so big I actually saw a fire trail going with the ball briefly. What's the cause of this? Static? I clean my clubs at each hole and likewise with my golf balls, so it shouldn't be a sand grain left on the face or ball.

- Finally!!! -- Randy Lyons (Bagger), 14:15:34 05/18/12 Fri
After playing and strugling with my 1 irons over the past 2 months, it finally happened! I get it! I couldn't hit my 3 iron very high and it was very frustrating because I was reading all the positive accounts on this forum. Finally it happened, all of a sudden I can hit my 3 iron as well as all of my other irons. What a relief! Oh by the way, I think the real strength of the 1 irons is in the short game. I can use any club for chipping and can be very creative inside of 80 yards with any shot. I need the 1 iron gap, sand and lob wedges and now I have no doubt that someday soon they will be in my bag. Thanks David!

Just wanted to post a message and say that, like a lot of other guys before me, I have finally pulled the trigger and bought a set of used/demo clubs. I have gone for the wood/iron combo plus a 3 wood. Over the last 18 months or so I must have looked at the website and read the forum comments dozens and dozens of times but never quiet went the full distance and put my money down on the table. Well have a good game guys as we say and good wishes from the UK.

- Seeking Advice -- Walt (Hopeful), 13:23:41 10/15/12 Mon
This is not really related to !-Iron clubs. By the way, I can not imagine why any golfer would not, at least, try these clubs. Maybe they just make too much sense for golfers to appreciate.
My hope is that someone can give me the magic bullet that will help me to hit the ball on the center of gravity of the club. I hit the ball on the toe side of the cog and have done this for about, oh maybe 50 years. I think it all started out with me being told to avoid, at all costs, the feared SHANK shot (there, I said it - SHANK!). You know, I cannot think of a single time that I have actually hit the ball off the hosel, so I guess the warning worked.
Anyway, before I reach 100 years old, I would like to be able to get the distance and direction that I am sure would result from striking the ball correctly.
Maybe bowling is a better idea.

- Awesome!!! -- Wiley, 10:00:28 10/14/12 Sun
My 1 Irons were delivered yesterday and I only ordered them four days ago - great service!!! I got the used set of irons but they look brand new. As soon as I picked them up I could feel the high quality of these irons that I never felt with any other irons I've ever played. Took them to the range and it was like Harry Potter gave me his magic wand. Every iron hit long and straight about four yards longer than my Pings and zero miss-hits. Awesome isn't a strong enough word to describe these irons and my only regret is that I didn't order them years ago.
Thank you 1 Iron Golf!!!

I missed out on the big used-demo sale last spring because I waited too long to pull the trigger. I didn't make the same mistake this time - I ordered today as soon as they went on sale.
A couple of my friends bought the sets last spring and their games have gotten so much better. All the guys we play with are really impressed with the 1 Irons so I know a lot of the used sets will be ordered in the next few days. Our golf pro plays them too and swears by them.

- My New 1 Irons -- Chuck Henry, 10:17:23 09/24/12 Mon
It has been a while since I have posted to this forum. I purchased my 1 Irons back in February and had hoped to post more progress reports than what I have. I have now had pretty much a full season with the 1 Irons (although, where I am at in Texas, we can usually play pretty much all through the winter).
In trying to be very objective, I think there are some pluses and minuses. My handicap is about 16 - 18 on my home course, which is usually the only place I play. I did have some weeks where I shot in the 70’s, but that has not stayed consistent. (I also had some weeks where I shot in the 70’s with variable-length clubs.) I do seem to feel more comfortable not worrying about ball placement with the single-length 1 Irons, and they all seem to feel the same and have the same swing.
One other factor to consider is that I do not think I have had as many scores that have ballooned into the 90’s; so, that may speak somewhat for more consistency as it pertains to the other end of the spectrum.
Obviously, I am a high handicapper; so, my deficiencies may be affecting my outcome more than any club I have in my hands. Part of the season this year, I got down to about a 14 handicap, but then my rounds started going back up. Golf is so much more enjoyable when I am routinely able to par a lot of holes. I am continuing to use the 1 Irons and continuing my quest for more consistency.

- Should have done this before! -- Joshua, 11:10:03 09/24/12 Mon
I first came across the 1 Iron Golf website last year and have been periodically coming back to it every couple of weeks since. It just makes so much sense that over time I began to stop thinking in terms of conventional clubs which was my mental hang-up for not ordering sooner. Anyway, my resistance was finally broken down by the simple logic of the system and I purchased a full set of irons along with the driver at the end of August.
Now I could kick myself for waiting a full year and not following my first common sense impulse to buy them initially. The clubs are fantastic and feel as if they were especially designed for me. I've already shot three rounds that are lower than my previous best round. Every club feels just right and for the first time I really feel that I'm putting my best swing on the ball with every club. Like I say - I could kick myself for wasting a full year of golfing the conventional way.
I wish that every golfer could try these clubs/system and realize the remarkable level of play that I'm now experiencing. I really believe that this system of play will reinvent the entire golf industry.

- Eight Favorite Irons -- Joe Alward, 17:17:17 09/09/12 Sun
My irons arrived yesterday and I immediately tested them by hitting into the net in my garage. I took eight swings--one swing for each of the eight irons. Each strike was pure, and each swing felt just as low-resistance as my previous favorite conventional club. After the eighth swing I went online and ordered the driver and the 3, 5, and 7 woods.
Today, I shot my best round ever on the 3-par nine hole course.

- Taking the plunge -- Jjohnson, 19:02:55 09/04/12 Tue
Been on the fence, but I am taking the plunge. Ordered the irons, gap, and sand wedges. Also ordered the driver. I am currently a 10 handicap and have been as low as an 8.
Biggest issue is irons past the 7 iron. This hurts on longer approach shots as well as par 3s. Looking forward to consistent feel among the irons especially longer irons.
I strike the ball consistently well 7 iron and below, but not quite as accurate as I would like. I have membership at driving range near my house, so I like to practice.
Will update here once I get them.
Thanks

- Getting used to the 1 irons -- Henrik, 06:56:33 08/29/12 Wed
I bought the 1irons a few weeks ago. I started hitting well with the 8 iron straight away but i was shanking and duffing the wedges and never got a clean hit with the longer clubs. Hitting short slices with the woods.
I was ready to give up but decided to not be so impatient.
Yesterday on the range I finally started hitting theirons well and today the woods aswell.
The key was to rotate and not sway like everyone has said. I didnt believe it at first but it really makes all the difference.
Played my best golf ever almost today.
Greatclubs!

- New 1 iron clubs -- Gary Trethewey (Happy happy happy), 20:33:59 07/13/12 Fri
To David and the Team at 1iron golf, a big thank you.
My demo set of clubs have arrived,and for a demo set of clubs they look great, not a mark on them,the whole 13clubs are perfect,even the grips were unmarked.(so for those contemplating the purchase of a demo set of clubs"DO IT",and I am sure you also will be more than happy with your clubs.David reassured me about the high quality of clubs that they would be shipping against my order. It was true.
Have been to the range with my8 iron as set out in Davids advice about new clubs,and followed all instructions about swing,lateral movement,centre stance ball position.,and it works,punched out an 8iron 150yds without any effort,straight and true.I am impressed.
The clubs feel great in hand,and feel smooth on ball contact no jarring,just sweet ?. The oversize chamois 11 grips fit like a glove in your hands so a real plus to the feel and overall look of the clubs.
Researched clubs for months before purchasing my set and are so pleased I made the choice of 1iron clubs.....Very happy.....best money I have spent on golf equipment......
The only down side was the foam head covers purchased, felt the fit was not up to the mark and did not stay secure
when in the bag, they were easily knocked off when selecting a new club.Maybe a rethink in the design maybe required here?????.
1iron use of FedEx as the shipper for international orders is fantastic,as their system keeps you informed from door to door via email at each stage of the delivery.

- FIRST TIME ON THE RANGE -- Gary Frey (WOW!), 13:15:53 08/01/12 Wed
Okay, I've read for some time about 1 Iron Golf and how everyone raves about them, but I could never get myself to pull the trigger and buy them. But, a good friend of mine bought a set and loved them. So, I called David with a couple of questions, placed my order and had the clubs in my hands in less than 48 hours. I was a "good boy" and followed David's instructions, went to the range, picked up the 8 iron, put the ball in the center of my stance, and consciously swung the club with my body as the pivit pole, just like he said. Geez O Pete. I pured my first shot 160 yards. As I worked my way through the bucket of balls each shot was, for the most part, long and straight. I think I had two mishits out of the entire bucket of balls.
The bottom line is that I am more that thrilled with what I've seen so far. I can't wait to get them on the course, which will be this Saturday and Sunday. Thank you, David Lake and 1 Iron Golf for your great service and great clubs.

- 1 month with 1Irons -- JC, 18:34:08 07/19/12 Thu
It has been 1 month with 3-LW 1Iron set. I have not sent them back so that will tell you something about my experience. Impressions: 1) Clubs are high quality, mine are the same length as standard 5 iron and had swing weight checked, all are D0. I like the grips but in hot weather they get a bit slick unlike GPMD, so I will replace when these wear out 2) You must spend time at the range, the clubs that are most difficult to get comfortable with for me are 9, PW, GW, SW, LW. I hit them very high, have not really lost distance but high shots are inneffective if wind is too high. I put LW in closet as I cannot hit it and use SW for anything under 110. I have to figure out how to lower trajectory with more lofted clubs. 3)Have had tremendous success with 6,5,4,3 and am hitting my 8 & 7 just like I always hit my Titleist AP1's so biggest positive impact for me is long irons. 4) Success with the long irons has really helped my driving as I am more confident that I can make strong second shots into long par 4's and with short par 5's I am hitting 3 or 4 iron on second shot to green. This has made me feel more relaxed with my driver and as a result fairways hit are way up and in fact driver distance is better (9 degree Alpha V5LX with 44" Whiteboard so it is also kind of short). I never really have experienced the ability to hit an accurate 185 to 210 yard shot, now I know. 5) I have experimented with much narrower (hip width) stance to help me hit all of the 1 iron clubs and it is really helping me make better contact and drive correct hip action which in turn is netting me more distance and more accuracy. With single length it has really simplified the things that I need to work on with my irons, one less thing to worry about. ***After a month I am hitting twice as many GIR, including long par 3's (185-210)which I have always struggled with. Distance is slightly better and have gained much more consistency. I am shooting rounds 3-5 strokes below my index and I think after I figure out how to improve the more lofted irons I will be on my way to 8-10 stroke improvement and mid/low single digits. I will post an update in another couple of months. Selling my AP1's and a set of Miura CB-501's as I cannot see going back.

- The correct swing -- Grayden Provis, 04:18:18 07/10/12 Tue
See that little man on the front page of the web site? He's there for a reason: thats how we should be swinging.
I took a video of myself swinging and put it up against him. I noticed three things immediately:
1) Too much lateral movement (I knew that already to be honest)
2) My backswing is too slow. Good golfers actually have a much faster backswing than the average high handicapper I've decided - its just looks "easy" because their rhythm and tempo is so good. Watch the pro at your course hitting balls on the range and specifically focus on the duration of his backswing and then immediately look at everyone else's - you'll see what I mean.
3) My backswing is too long. I thought I had already shortened it but when you look carefully at the little man you'll see he only goes back to 10 o'clock maximum. I thought I was but I wasn't. Now that I'm finally actually doing 10 o'clock it feels ridiculously short but actually looks "right" (funny that!) ....and the improvement in consistency is dramatic.
One thing I have decided however is that "swinging around the body" was not quite the right mental picture for me. It made me do things that were clearly not what was intended. For me a better thought is to just keep the core "quiet" while everything else is "on the move". That thought allows me to still be athletic whereas I was getting very contrived with "swing around the body".
Anyway, check out the little man carefully. He is swinging with a shorter, punchier backswing than it looks I would suggest.

- Day 1 -- Leonard H, 19:14:23 06/26/12 Tue
Well today was the first day out with my new 1Irons. I purchased the whole set, driver, 3 wood, and 3-lob. I wanted to hit the driving range before trying them out but we have had non stop rain since the clubs arrived last Friday. My buddy wanted to get in 18 holes between storrns today. So my day began. The wind was brisk, over 20 mph. I shot an 87 even with the wind and the wet conditions. This is a little high for me, but the wind was tough. I hit the irons pretty well. The ball just jumps off the face of these irons. Yes I will have to work with the driver and 3 wood to find my distance. I am not sure with the steel shafts if I will have the same distance as with my graphite shafts. I normally hit my driver 275 yards + and 3 wood 235-250 yards, so I have to work with them on the range. I believe I will have to have these 2 clubs re-shafted with some graphite shafts. The driver is very accurate and I need more practice with the 3 wood. But the irons are awesome. I think after getting used to them, I will be hitting them almost as long as my Callaways. So David, I wanted to break them in at the range, but I was sttill impressed with the clubs and look forward to really getting to know them. Do wish you offered graphite for the woods, but I am glad I made the purchase on the whole set. Thanks.

I'm a PGA pro and certified instructor. Like all of the golf instructors I've met, the biggest challenge is advising students on the best set of golf clubs to help improve their game. Ever since I bought my first set of 1 Irons three years ago this challenge has been solved for me. My wife and I both play 1 Irons and I recommend them heartily to all of my students (none have ever been disappointed). At the PGA Show in Orlando this past January I met a number of other PGA pros from around the world who do exactly the same thing.

- Full set -- Conrad, 16:50:56 06/28/12 Thu
I've been following the 1 Iron Golf website for the past year. After starting off this season shooting the same scores I've been shooting for the past six years I decided not to waste anymore of my time and effort and just buy the full Used/Demo set that's being offered.
First off, other than a slight ball mark on the faces of a couple of irons they look brand new. Second, they felt and looked great right out of the box (the pictures on the website don't do them justice). Third, they play like no other clubs I've ever hit in my life - high trajectory, long, and straight. Using the same swing on every club is so easy it's scary.
There's no doubt in my mind that I'll drop strokes off my game this year. I could kick myself for waiting even five minutes to buy these clubs let alone a wasted year of frustration.
Thank you David Lake and 1 Iron Golf.
Conrad

- First impressions -- Grayden Provis (Australia), 03:59:18 06/21/12 Thu
My full set arrived today, on time and very well packaged up. First impression: Wow! Much better than I'd even hoped for. The clubs look superb, feel superb and everything sits "just right" for ME. Couldn't be happier with them. Looking forward to getting to know them but I must admit they feel very friendly already. I'm more convinced than ever now that most of us are playing with clubs that are just too long for us. Thanks David for your great product and superb service.

- Unbelievable! -- Jack, 11:03:54 06/14/12 Thu
Why didn't I get these clubs years ago? I went to the range twice to get the hang of my new 1 Irons and have played two rounds since. My first round was 5 strokes lower than my best round ever and the second round was 2 strokes better than my first. Awesome clubs.

- Impressed -- Grayden Provis (Australia), 16:53:41 06/13/12 Wed
I ordered the full whack this week - iron / woods combo, sw, 3w and driver - and have to say my experience with 1 Iron Golf has been probably the best purchasing experience I've had for a long time. Thankyou David for your prompt and courteous responses to my questions and for the very efficient way your business obviously operates. I told a mate (good golfer, plays off +2) what I'm doing and he's apparently ordering a set of irons too. As he said to me "the only way to learn anything is to try".
I'll just add something I thought was interesting: ever since I made the decision to go with these clubs I've noticed I've been swinging differently (better) with my own clubs - including a squarer stance and a subconscious gripping down on the longer shafted clubs. I'm obviously programming myself already! Looking forward to getting the real thing.

- Know your iron distances to lower your scores -- Tom T, 10:15:29 06/01/12 Fri
Been playing 1irons for 6 or 7 seasons now, and I absolutely love them. My team won a charity event this past weekend thanks mostly to a lot of good shots into greens by my Stepfather and I. He plays 1irons also. I have some advice for the guys just getting their sets. Spend time at the driving range with each club in your bag, and a good range finder. Pick targets and hit about 25 shots with each club. Determine what your AVERAGE distance is with each club, on a full swing. Average shots, not your best shot of the 25. Write those distances down and make a nice laminated card that you can hang on your golf bag for a reference to be used on the course. You will be amazed at how much confidence you will gain when you KNOW how far each club goes, as opposed to guessing or wishing. And most importantly, don't worry about how far someone else hits their clubs. My 5 iron goes 159 yards on average. That is equivalent to a 7 iron for a lot of guys. My point is, so what? We all have the clubs in our bags to cover almost any distance on a hole. Just get to know what YOUR distances are. Combine that knowledge with the accuracy and repeatable swing you will gain from your 1irons, you will shoot lower scores right away. Good luck to everyone and enjoy the season.

- Just ordered my 4th set -- Tom T, 15:30:50 05/14/12 Mon
Hi David, I just ordered my 4th set of 1irons this morning. I just wanted you to know the reason. My Dad hit my first set and insisted that I sell them to him. My son hit my second set and loved them, so I gave them to him and ordered a 3rd set. Now my daughter is playing and wants my 3rd set. Yes our WTF's are all the same. I still have one more daughter, but she is only 5, so hopefully I can keep this set for a while. Anyway, looking forward to receiving them. And thanks for making the game easier for all of us.

- Demo/Used set of 1iron 3i-gw -- Larry Ablin (Happy), 08:50:23 04/12/12 Thu
I just received my 1iron set and opened it up. My favorite club in my Marty Irving set was my 7i. So I am happy to see that the length of these clubs is the same as my 7i. That means I will be able to hit these great right out of the box. I will just have to get used to the bigger grips. I will let you know how it turns out after I spend time with the great looking clubs. The only club that had a mark from the demos was 5i. So looks like a new set. Very happy.

- Amazed -- SteveC, 18:28:42 03/27/12 Tue
I am so glad I bought the set ( 3I-9I, PW, SW, 3W, 5W, 7W ). Prior to this purchase I couldn't use my old woods (KZG's), I always topped, or sliced so I gave up and always reached for my 3 iron ( Langert set). Now however, I'm reaching par 4's and even a few par 5's in 2 hits! (teeing with David's 3W) It's so relaxing being able to aim at the fairway and not 45* to the left playing the slice.
Today I shot a personal best 41 on the front nine at my local club. I am anxiously waiting for David's driver to become available to order ro complete my set.
Thanx to Mr. Lake, I'm able to spend time with my pop on the courses. Loser buys dinner afterwards, and since getting this set and practicing with them, I've been able to leave my wallet at home with confidence :)

An email we received recently:
David,
I wanted to give you the good news, about my experience with my set of 1 iron golf clubs. I purchased the 3 thru pitching wedge iron set, and immediately, went to the driving range. I hit 60 balls,starting with my 8 iron, then down through the rest of the clubs, one word, AMAZING! Out of the 60 there were only 5 bad shots, due to my swing, not the clubs. What a great improvement! The ball flew straight toward the pin, nice crisp strike. The key for me, was to keep my left foot on the ground, during my back swing, ball in the center of my stance. Two more key words, GREAT CLUBS! The old Taylormades are up, for Sale! Now, the rest of the story. I played, yesterday, 18, with the new 1 irons, same great results!. I shot 90, improvement over regular score, average around 115. What great results!
I am placing a order, today, for the SW, LW, GW, today, in order to complete my set. I can't wait to get them. I will be glad to tell all the old 65 yr. old players out there, that if you want to play better golf, don't hesitate, and buy your clubs. Thanks again, for making golf fun,again for me!

- After 10 rounds of golf with 1 Irons -- Dennis (Very satisfied), 08:20:01 01/28/12 Sat
Clubs: 1 Iron's driver, 3-wood, 3-PW, GW, SW, and LW
Experience: 3 yrs
Original handicap: 22 (@ 2 months ago before 1 Iron clubs)
Present handicap: 10
I was just about ready to stop golfing before getting the 1 Irons clubs. Now, I want to play twice a week instead of once in a while. Golf has become a fun game ,and I might add, less expensive since not loosing golf balls like before switching to 1 Irons. This also allows me to use quality balls.
I do not understand why anybody would play with any other clubs than 1 Iron's clubs.

I can't believe that every golfer isn't playing 1 Irons. After many years of keeping the same handicap I switched to the 1 Irons and my handicap is consistently dropping. I started playing them 1 year ago and immediately I realized the potential. I was a 22 handicap at the time and have seen a 10 stroke drop in my average scoring. It just seems to get better with every round I play. For anybody out there who is sitting on the fence I just have one thing to say - buy these clubs!!

I came across this website http://www.griagolf.com/gallery.html and am under the understanding that David Lake designed these hybrid irons. I've been playing my 1 Irons for years and wouldn't give them up if the Russian army showed up at my door.
David is the best club designer in the business so I ordered one set of the NOVA Hybrid Irons for my wife and another set for my father. The end result - MAGIC!!!! My wife can finally play golf and my father can give me a run for my money anytime.

I've had my 1 Irons for about two months and have never been happier or more excited. I've beaten my best score three times since I got them and my handicap is going down fast. I hit my 1 Irons farther than my previous set of Pings and the accuracy is unbelievable. I can nail my #3 iron ten out of ten times as compared to my previous #3 iron that I'd be lucky to hit well five out of ten times. Great clubs!!

- Just Got Them -- LaMar, 19:50:58 12/21/11 Wed
Hello 1 iron golf readers, I'm 44 years old and I have been playing golf for approximately 5 years. I was once a 25+ hadicapp but am now a 15 hadicapp. I have used a older set of Cobra irons (Forged) and a all "hybrid" set 3-SW and I have been looking at the 1 iron clubs for about a year due to my deep desire to become a single digit or better golfer. I just purchased a 1 iron golf set 3-LW with a driver. I writing this to mention a couple of things. I have not unpacked all the the clubs yet but did take out the sandwedge to hit a couple of chip shots in the yard. WOW, they look "great" to the ground and practice swings feel as if the weight was made for me. I chips some balls and went as far as hitting some half and three quarter shots and the club performed so well. I feel more confident already even before I work with all the clubs. I will update this post after going to the range a couple of times or add a new one. They do look great and, can surely be mistaken as some name brand blades.

I knew that I was saving $280 on this set but I didn't realize that I'd get free shipping in the USA nor did I realize that I'd be saving another $60 in sales tax since I'm in a different state than 1 Iron Golf. These savings will be a great argument for my wife.

An email that we received:
David,
I have been looking to buy a new set of clubs for 2-3 years now. I love the game, and grew up following my dad and my uncle around with a cut-off 7 iron when I was 6-7 years old. That was 50 years ago, and I have never had a set of clubs that matched. Recently I purchased a full set of 1 Iron Golf clubs, LW-5i, 7W,5W,3W,Driver. I've had the clubs a couple weeks, and gone to the range several times to get used to the "middle stance-upright posture" required to hit these clubs accurately.
Yesterday I played my first round of golf with them.
I hit every fairway with the driver or 3w. I hit driver - 3 Wood and was 5 feet off the green on a long par 5. I hit a 7 Wood 170 yards stiff to 12 feet on a par 3. I hit 10 of 18 greens in regulation. All of this on a course I had never played before (Bridlewood Gold Club, 4000 W. Windsor Drive, Flower Mound, TX).
I am ecstatic… beyond words. I have been looking for clubs that would take me to the next level in my game, and I have finally found them.
Worth the investment? No question.

- 1 Irons at Golf School -- Paul, 05:00:07 11/17/11 Thu
I just returned from one of the top 25 golf schools in America. It was a 3 day school and part of the course was club evaluation and fitting. The PGA pros had heard of the 1 Irons but had no experience with them. Over the course of the first 2 days the teacher, who was excellent, determined my ideal club fitting specs, right down to the frequency of the shafts that worked best for me. Long story short, the 1 Irons fit the recommended specs EXACTLY. I even watched as he placed each one on the gadget that measures shaft frequency. Each club was right on. Even the shaft frequency of the 1 Iron woods was exactly right. Although I will have to say he was not a fan of the Driver. It weighed in considerably heavier than other graphite 460cc Drivers and he wasn't particularly fond of that. But, I hit it well and more consistently. In the end he just said, "I can't say anything bad about your clubs."

- Pros and the 1 Iron Golf System -- Reg, 10:49:32 11/15/11 Tue
I have been following the 1 Iron Golf website for the past year with my only concern being the lack of pros using this system. A few months ago I learned that Adam Scott's (PGA Tour) father plays 1 Iron Golf clubs and I heard that most pros have their clubs altered to single-length specs. I didn't really believe that the pros did this until I started watching very closely at their set-up and swing on TV which was identical no matter what iron they were using. I also attended a number of tour events this summer and took particular notice of the player's bags and saw that in most cases the irons all stuck out at the same height. Most noticeable was when I attended the US Senior Open and stood on a 200 yard par three where it was definitely evident that the #3 and #4 irons they were hitting were all about the same length as a normal #9 iron. The biggest shock to me was when I ate supper at the Ohio State Hall of Fame Grill in Columbus, Ohio. Next to a picture of Jack Nicklaus was a set of his old clubs and the irons were all exactly the same length.
I now play 1 Irons and quickly found out the reason why I could never get my handicap down using conventional clubs. With my 1 Irons my ball striking improved dramatically overnight and my average scoring has dropped by 10 strokes per round. I have no question that I will be in the low single-digits next summer.

- All the Hype -- Paul, 09:26:12 11/11/11 Fri
I got my 1 irons in the mail yesterday (Driver, 3W, 5W, 7W, 5 Iron - PW, GW, SW, LW). The clubs have really great looks, feel, and balance. I love the oversize grips. But all that doesn't matter if they don't perform. Went to the range this morning. Started with the 8 iron, just like David suggests. I have to admit I struggled some, mainly due to figuring out how far to stand from the ball with these clubs. I finally figured out you have to stand much closer to the ball than I was accustomed to. Once I got that part figured out. I was amazed how consistently I could make solid contact with the ball. I decided to try a few with the driver. I was having trouble getting it up. Then I remembered the tip about tilting the spine to the right. I did that and it worked. With the ball center of stance I could hit the ball high and pretty much straight. As far as the fairway woods, the same spine tilt works great to get them up as well. The 7W is probably my ffavorite club in the whole set. I can smoke it. Bottom line: What about all the hype you read about these clubs? BELIEVE IT! These clubs do make a difference. They will help you hit the ball better. I have only made one trip tp the range and I already hit the 1 irons better than my old clubs.

- Chipping Set-Up -- Paul, 08:59:32 11/09/11 Wed
I have a question about chipping with the 1 irons. Do you put more of your weight on your left (for right-handed hitters)and move the handle slightly ahead of the ball (basic impact position)? This is standard instruction from just about everyone. Any reason to change that for the 1 irons. I understand ball is center of stance.

- Lower handicap players -- Muc, 10:08:42 11/01/11 Tue
Hello,
Hey guys, I was just wondering if there are players with a lower handicap using 1 iron. Like maybe single digit handicap players. I am currently a 5.1 handicap..2 years ago I was a solid 12. Now I realize that I have made huge progress lowering my handicap. But I still feel my game suffers tremendously with a 4, 5, 6, and hybrids. I never seem to make solid contact. I am 5'6 and would be considered a "sweeper". Nothing I can do makes me hit down on the ball better. I will say that if it wasn't for a really straight driver and the fact that I hit my wedges awesome, I would of never improved my handicap. This is why I am asking if lower handicap people use 1 iron golf clubs. I think I could benefit from my lower and mid irons same length of my wedges.
Oh yah, I was shown 1 iron golf from 'the swingman' web site.
Cheers,

- Fantastic -- Henry, 22:36:20 10/13/11 Thu
After one year of following the 1 Iron Golf website I finally pulled the trigger and ordered a set of Used/Demo irons plus all of the wedges. The discounted price on the set of irons plus the free shipping, since I live in the UK, were the deciding factors. I was wrong - I wish now that I had ordered them ten years ago and I would have gladly paid twice the price.
Since I am getting into my advanced years I was looking at consistency and control. Imagine my shock when I hit these irons five yards further than my Pings with much more accuracy! My distance game with the 1 Irons has effectively made me twenty years younger.
I cannot say enough about the quality of workmanship and the obvious design integrity of these irons. From the first day I was hitting the shots of my life and my first round produced the lowest score I have ever achieved.
I will admit that I have succumbed in the past to the multi-million dollar advertising campaigns of the big name brands as I have typically purchased new sets of clubs every three years or so trying to buy a good golf game. I can say with perfect honesty that I will never have to spend another shilling on golf clubs since I have found the perfect set - 1 Irons.
My advice is this - if you are sitting on the fence like I was then do yourself a huge favor and buy a set of 1 Irons immediately and watch your scores drop.

- Getting Better Results Now -- Thomas Sawatzki, 14:07:09 10/11/11 Tue
I've had my 1IronGolf Set ( D,3W,5W,7W & the 5i-PW,GW,SW ) for about 1 yr. now. We are getting used to each other finally, and the hoped for better results are being realized. As a background .. I don't get to practice , so I go play 9 holes whenever the chance .. a " cold " effort. Usually, the 1st 3 or 4 holes are a tune-up scorewise.. but not too bad at that.
Lately, tho , and happily, the final 6 holes have been a mild thrill. This bogie-shooter has been nearer to par through the closing 6 holes. WHY ? These 1IronGolf sticks are more accurate.
My driving is better - in the fairway mostly, and less " over there " now; iron shots more so find the green ,much less of any curve away fading. And .. a nice surprise has been that even the fairway woods have been pin-point accurate into the green , and with good spin and " bite " as well -- not their thing -- but it is happening. I've been short power-wise this year , but the better precision shot-making has been telling.
The overall balance of these clubs really helps now that " we are used to each other ". I can now really appreciate the superior shafting system and the results that this can produce.
Jeezz ... these are good sticks people. Mr.Lake did a fine piece of golf club engineering , and his theories have validity. At least my game thinks so. I say thanks to all involved at 1Iron Golf. Great clubs ... well worth the money.

- Got My third set of 1irons -- Pedro, 04:20:00 09/18/11 Sun
Hello all 1iron players, I got my third set of 1irons this weekend, So I have been playing 1irons since David first came out with his first design.
A few months ago The airlines lost my baggage and yes my 1iron clubs. Well in the interum I had no choice but to play my OE irons which were in the basement, I use them for friends who may come over.
Well I played yesterday and felt lke I did not miss a beat. after a short range session, It clicked with 20 balls. Off to play and accurate as always. The new part for me was the 1iron driver, I had used the smaller head driver David offered years ago, The new one is just as playable with a nice Piercing ball trajectory.
Dont let the 12o fool you, you wont be hitting it like a 7 wood. The loft and length it what allows you to get the correct trajectory. Center center center stance, trust it it will work. I hooked up with a few guys and all of them sporting their nice expensive taylormade and callaway drivers. Then little old me with my short driver down the middle 245-260 I can carry only 250 at my best but the correct trajectory and role give you the optimum results for me.
I was driving the other two guys crazy becaues they killed the ball just not on the course, finaly one of them gave in and asked me about my driver? he asked to try it. and holly molly he killed it 285 down the middle, them the other guy got into the act he tried it bam down the middle with a power faid about 270, both out drove me by at least 30 yards, They were stunned, after the round we sat down got some drinks and I explained to them the idea and about the irons. They couldnt believe how the industry has lied to so many players for so many years.
Just as a note I use to work at a major golf shop, I could not push the junk they wanted me to anymore. so I left and am enjoying golf ever since.
I am older now at 45 and dont hit it as far as I used to, But my accuracy and common sense play make me competative even after a lay off.
If you are on the edge, just try it you have a 30 gurantee you cant go wrong, just follow the playability tips and just dont go rushing to the course.

An email we received:
Mr. Lake,
I went into Goldsmith today and dropped off my set of 1 Irons to be re-gripped. The club maker was quite curious and said: "don't tell anyone I said this, but there isn't a single club in this store that can perform like your irons”. He said he knows all about 1 Iron Golf. He placed each iron on a scale, a measuring device, and a protractor and said to me that it’s damn near impossible to get clubs consistent like this. He said that Ping was the only club manufacturer that could reliably come close to what you make. I thought you might find that of interest.

Just like David said, I had to hit every club 3i - LW. Out of all the clubs I hit the 3i the best (go figure). By the end of the 1st bucket of ball really started to hit some great shots.
I had to really make an effort to keep the ball in the center of my stance. This is going to take some getting use too!
I will keep you posted on my progress
Thanks,
Ed

- iron clubs -- Simon (these clubs are great), 16:32:15 08/26/11 Fri
I was a bit hesitant to purchase the clubs unseen but believed in the concept as even before finding the website for the clubs thought one length clubs made sense.
After purchasing the clubs and having a wack at the range I found that after a couple of trips to the range my swing had changed and become more consistent resulting in hitting the ball with a greater accuracy than before.
In regards to distance and distance between clubs I found I was hitting the ball further and where I wanted the ball to go. I was hitting an 8 iron about 150m whereas I used to hit an 8 iron around 135 -140m, the range in distance between clubs is the same but a I hit each club further now, this was one of my concerns that I there wouldnt be enough distance variance between clubs but I found that it is the same as conventional clubs. The biggest improvement I found was longer irons I now hit a 3 iron between 190-200m with accuracy at the target.
The woods are the same I am hitting the 3 wood about 220m and the driver about 280m.
It is so simple to produce a consistent accurate golf shot with the desired distance aas it is one swing one ball position over and over again so no need to clutter the mind with anything other than where you want to hit the ball it is simplified stress free golf with great results.
I wish I had a set of these clubs years ago they are a revolution to my golf game, every time I use them they feel better and better and better I cannot be more satisfied with every aspect of the clubs - the look/the feel/the grips/the weight and how easy it is to strike the ball and acheive the best results regarding distance and accuracy. As recommendended I didnt have a round of golf until I got used to the clubs and the difference on the course was amazing. I used to hit the ball a fair way but had no accuracy and ended up under trees/other fairways off the tee and struggled to post a good score. With these clubs I now hit it further but with accuracy resulting in shaving huge nubers off my scores.
Thanks 1 iron golf,as the saying goes golf ruins a good walk well I could attest to that frustration but now I attest to golf makes a good walk even better.
Regards
Simon

- 1 Irons -- Satisfied customer, 07:06:43 08/03/11 Wed
Are you sure you sent me a demo set looks like new? The quality and looks are the best I have seen went out and hit as soon as I got them they feel like forged clubs crisp coming off club face hit #8 then #5 then #3 I hit them all good. Had little trouble with GW, SW, and LW but got it down pretty quick played 18 holes and shot 39 on front hitting wedges a little fat. On the back nine I shot a 38 getting wedges down better. As far as distance loss, there is none. I gained yardage with every club the best thing all shots on target. With my old #3 iron I struggled to hit it 210 yards. With you #3 iron I hit 225 yards easy and dead at flag. My only regret is that I wish I had got them last year when I first started looking at them

- shaft length -- tony, 05:35:07 07/23/11 Sat
I am a satified user of the "1irons" for 2 years. The accuracy is incredible. I am not a long hitter (5 iron - 150 yds), and was wondering if increasing my shaft length by about 1/2" would improve my distance slightly. Any ideas on this?
Thanks,
Tony.

- Grip Down -- Ken, 17:38:00 07/22/11 Fri
I have been using 1Irons for a few years - and this is not about the clubs. But almost every issue of a golf magazine has an instruction article that says to "grip down" an amount on the club. Seems to me that once one grips down, they have changed the whole dynamic of the swing, haveing to get closer to the ground- and that just doesn't make sense as a better way to hit the occasional shot. Anyone else feel this way?

- At first blush -- Fred (optomistic), 18:39:09 07/20/11 Wed
Received clubs today. Dinner and off to the range with 8,7,and 6. Small bucket(50-60). No way they are going back. Feel great, look good, nice grips.
Hope the below is clear enough
50% 8 iron, 25% each with the 7 and 6.Only 5 or 6 real bad mishit evenly split
8 iron= 150-155, 50% straight&sweet, balance of the ball were good/decent contact but pushed right
7=160-165 25% straight&sweet, pushing the rest right, good/decent contact
6=170-175 same results as 7
Read on and you'll understand why I am super happy with the above!
Virtually quit golf (Im 56) till I saw these on line. All the theory made perfect sense, logical. At my best low/mid 90's(lifetime ago). Last 20 yrs a 110-115 rarely play hacker. This could now be interesting!
Last time to the range/club in hand, was a year ago,out of town, borrowed clubs, 90% mishits.
Last time playing was at least 4 years ago, time before that probably 2 yrs.
Going to try and grove a swing...a SINGLE swing. BTW 3 wood is 5" longer than irons...feels nice in hand(no drivers in stock, couldn't buy). Bought 3-PW,+SW, +3wood.
I'll check in end of summer.

- Playing my new clubs -- John Mayo (Less confused), 15:56:43 07/07/11 Thu
I have been playing 1iron clubs (3-lw and 3wood, driver) for about 4months. It has taken a while to get used to them. I was concerned that being 76 yrs old and playing graphite shafts for several years now that I would have trouble with the weight. With patience and reading the comments form David, I now feel quite comfortable with the clubs and find that I am more consistent and worry less about a multitude of details involving swinging different length clubs. This has freed me up to work on a more grooved swing, a swing that I can trust more and a swing that I can put much more channeled power into. The driver has become an absolute jewel. It is straight and getting longer all the time. The long irons are perhaps a little off in distance, but distance left to the hole is less because it is usually in the fairway. I have adjusted to the weight and find (like David says) that my body reacts much better to the weight distribution. It feels more like a natural swing. The interesting thing is that I have not told my playing partners that I have new clubs (except the driver) and not one has noticed except that I am playing better. I plan to inform them soon. Great clubs, they do what David says they will and they make my game much more pleasant and less complicated. At 76, that less complicated thing is very important.

- new 1 irons -- Tim (solid Clubs), 16:15:44 06/27/11 Mon
I have been to the driving range three times so far working thru all the irons and with each trip more and more shots are solid strikes. What would go through my mind is that each swing is practice for the next shot no matter what number is on the bottom of the club. The clubs put you in the right set up but being that little bit closer to the ball took some getting used to with all the clubs. They just feel right and i look forward to not worry over which club I need to hit. The look, feel and quailty of the 1 irons make them worth every penny. I am going to spread the message of common sense 1 iron golf.

- An email we received today: -- David Lake, 08:01:52 06/27/11 Mon
Hello David,
I have to say it's taken me a good 3-4 months to get a swing down for these clubs. I even took a few lessons and did a video analysis on my swing. With a lot of practice and determination, I am now hitting my clubs further than I have ever imagined. For example, my 7 iron has always been a 135-140 yard club. Even in my 20's I could hit the 7 iron 140 pretty regularly. When I started swinging the 1 Iron 7 iron, I could not hit the ball more than 100 yards. It was very frustrating and I wanted to just quit and by a new set of clubs. However, the arrow was not the problem, the Indian was in this case. My teaching pro actually recommended that I switch because I was having so much difficulty.
Prior to me owning the set from you I shot about a 100-105 on a regular basis. Fast forward three months; I can now hit my 7 iron 150-155 yards and drop it in a bucket. I hardly take any kind of a divot, more like a brushing of the grass. In perspective, once you get used to these clubs there is no, I repeat, no substitute.
Today I played 9 holes and shot a 39, the best score of my career. I consistently shoot 82-85 and enjoy near par golf. Now you may have thought at first that it was taking long to get used to the clubs, however, compare that to dropping down nearly 20 strokes and becoming a 10 handicap in three months. I am in the 1 Iron groove and will never ever let go of my 1 Iron clubs. Bravo, David!
Michael P., N.J.

- 1 Irons -- Chuck, 11:55:38 06/21/11 Tue
I found your website by accident and I read through it with extreme skepticism even though it made so much sense. After a few days of reading I ordered a full set of irons (#3 - LW) plus driver and #3 wood (all new because I was sure I'd be returning them within the 30-day return period). I'm here to tell you that there's not a chance that you will be getting these clubs back. I'm amazed that hitting a golf ball can be so easy after all the years of frustration I've gone through and all the different sets I've bought. I only wish that I'd have found your website ten years ago and not wasted all that time playing big brand name junk.

Mr. Lake:
I purchase a full set of your clubs three weeks ago. The order was delivered promptly and very securely packaged. They are beautiful clubs and the pictures on your website do not do them justice. Also, the quality is very high.
I followed the outlined practice schedule that you emailed to me (Playability Tips) and became very comfortable with them in only three trips to the range. I've played eight rounds since then and have shot the lowest scores of my life. I've gained around five yards in distance per club over my old set and the accuracy is unbelievable.
I want to thank you for the best set of clubs ever offered to golfers and I hope that others will take the chance to experience what I have.

- First Session With NEw Clubs -- Mark Devlin, 06:44:35 05/20/11 Fri
New England just can't catch a break in the weather department but I couldn't wait any longer. I went out in a slight mist to a local 9 hole because a knew I would have the course to myself to practice. I hit about 50 shots with the 5 iron. I have to say that David is spot on when he tells you to " Swing in a Barrel". My 1st couple of shots were straight but short but as I started to keep repeating in my head "Swing in a Barrel" I started getting a mix of short shots and perfect shots. Since I could never hit a normal 5 iron I am thrilled with these clubs. Hopefully the weather will cooperate this weekend for a real long practice session. I'll keep the updates coming.
Thanks David

David,
Tried your "wrist" putting technique. Your logic is right on the mark. Less muscle involvement equals less opportunity to make a mistake. I have struggled for years with putting and this is the first method that actually makes me more confident over the ball. Sounds exactly like the result I've achieved using your single length irons, doesn't it?
Thanks for the quick turnaround on my wedge exchange.

- First time results using the new 1irons -- Grant (Happy), 22:03:13 04/17/11 Sun
I wanted to get the 1irons for the past year. I ordered them the first of last week and they came on Friday. Guess what? It started raining about noon and didn't quit until Saturday evening. Today (Sunday) was the first chance to get out even though it was still wet and muddy in places.
From the moment I got the first club in my hand when I opened the package I loved the look and especially the feel. The club just felt "right" and the grips are very comfortable. The lie of the club was perfect too and not at all like my X16 Callaway Steelheads. I have been using them for about 10 years and have never been able to really hit anything less lofted than the 7 iron with any consistency. I just took the 3 and 4 out of the bag and left them home.
Started with the PW and the 5 iron. Even thought the PW is quite a bit longer than my old one, it was really easy to hit and ball contact and results were as if I had been using it for years. Different story with the 5 iron though!
I just automatically tried to swing a lot harder with it. You know what they say...Knew better. Didn't do better!! Next swing was done right and after that hitting all the clubs including the 5 and 7 woods was easy.
Now I have to order the Driver, the 3 and 4 irons and the gap and sand wedge!! These are great golf clubs!

- Looking for feedback from low handicap players -- Thomas (Skeptical optimist), 11:25:07 04/02/10 Fri
I do believe that the standard length/lie concept is very interesting and I am looking for feedback from low handicap players that have tried this. I used to be a 4, now I am a 7 handicap, mostly due to a deteriorated short game. I do struggle from time to time with the long irons and since the 7 or 8 iron is probably my favorite club, I am intrigued with the standard length concept. However, my concern is that I will struggle to adjust with my scoring clubs (PW through LW) due to the increased length of those relative to my current (standard length) clubs. Also, I was looking to possibly switch to blades e.g. Mizuno for their increased feel/ability to work the ball and I am wondering if anyone has any experience with comparing such blades with the 1 Iron Golf irons, particularly the wedges.
Appreciate any feedback that anyone can provide me with.
Regards,
Thomas

- Unbelievable!! -- Ron Jackson, 19:11:45 03/31/11 Thu
I received my Used/Demo set of irons plus all of the wedges and #3 wood last week. First of all, the Used/Demo irons looked brand new to me. The high level of design and workmanship was immediately apparent and the clubs feel like they belong in my hands. The balance and feel are truly fantastic, far better than any I have ever played.
On my first trip to the range I followed the Playability Tips that were emailed to me using half swings to get the feel and timing down. On the second day I exceeded the Tips and hit full shots with every club. The #3 wood was like hitting butter and all of the shots flew about 10 yards farther than my Ping #3 wood. The irons took some getting used to since I had to learn to hit the #3 iron with the same swing I was using with the #8 and #9 iron and wedges (my irons are #8 iron length). It sounds simple but I can attest to the fact that it's hard to swing an iron with #3 written on the bottom the same as you swing with your #8 iron. It took me half a bucket to mentally get past this and when I did I started nailing the #3 iron like a pro. I estimate my distance with the #3 iron at 200 yards carry which is 10 to 12 yards farther than my Ping #3 when I nail it (not very often). I hit 30 balls with both the #3 and #4 and didn't have a single miss-hit. I hit all of the irons and wedges with the same consistency and averaged about 5 yards extra distance with each one.
I'm extremely impressed to say the least and glad I made the leap. I wish that I'd done this a few years earlier.

David,
Thanks for the quick delivery of my THIRD set of 1irons. Hopefully no other family members will be begging them from me. My regular foursome now has 3 sets of 1irons in it. As a loyal customer since 2006, I have seen my handicap drop from 16 to 8 since I purchased my first set. I was runner up in our club championship in 2009, and finished 3rd last year. My goal is to win it this year, and the confidence that your clubs give me is the key. I really believe you are a golf genius.
Thanks again,

David,
Thank you so much for the swing tips on your website. After reading them through and going back to study particulars I made the changes to my swing that you suggested: hitting down on the ball, swinging the club around me instead of out to the side, etc. By incorporating these I picked up 20 yards with every one of my irons (I previously sweeped/scooped the ball without even realizing it). I also want to thank you for the best set of golf clubs I've ever owned.

- Fantastic -- John, 09:38:48 02/17/11 Thu
I recently purchased a full set of 1 Iron Golf clubs (driver, #3 wood and #3 iron to LW). I was immediately impressed by the high quality of the clubs, looks, and feel. They fit me perfectly and felt like an extension of my arms which I guess is a common feeling for all 1 Iron owners (they have their fitting system down pat). Just as the Playability Tips that I received explains, it felt strange the first time at the range. My irons are all #8 iron length (coincidentally my favorite iron) and I knew that I was supposed to put my #8 iron swing on every iron which is easy to say until you pick up an iron with a #3 written on the bottom (those old ingrained swings). It took me three trips to mentally get past this and actually use the same swing and ball position with every iron, but once it happened - WOW!! I've never hit shots like this in my life with any set of clubs and to say that I'm impressed and totally excited would be a gross understatement.
I can't believe all of the garbage and marketing hype out there when it comes to golf clubs. The new and improved crap that you see advertised by all the brands is obviously nothing more than trash designed to lure guys like me into trying to buy a game year after year (I'm guilty as charged). Anyway, it makes me furious that I'd been suckered by this my whole life and now I bought the 1 Iron Golf set that is so simple and hype free and that made so much common sense I had to try it. Needless to say I'm immensely glad I did and will never go back to the conventional junk again. I'm also canceling all my subscriptions to golf magazines that do nothing but promote worthless golf equipment and then try to teach you how to use it. My 1 Irons don't need instruction - their automatic.

I've been following the site for over five months after I saw the improvement in one of my friends game after he bought a set.

- Email from a customer -- David Lake, 10:35:58 12/22/10 Wed
An email we received recently:
You may be interested in my golf story. I last played golf in 1973 when my handicap was 2. Wooden Woods with a stiff shaft and blade irons. About a year ago I was able to start playing golf again. I used my old clubs to begin with and when I felt I was hitting the ball reasonably well again I thought I should avail myself of the latest technology. What a mistake. I was fitted (in more ways than one) with a set of Taylormade Burners. I could not hit the driver as far as I could my old wooden 2 wood and as for the irons they were a disaster, no feel or control the club head just took over.
This lead me to start an internet search for modern clubs that resembled my old blades and I discovered 1 Iron Golf. Your whole thesis made so much sense I purchased a set of irons and woods. Absolutely brilliant! I feel that I now control the club. I always had a high trajectory with my irons and I find I achieve the same distances with the short and mid irons however the 4 and 3 irons are flying about 10 yards further than my old ones. The 3 iron flying 200 yards whereas in the old days I needed a 2 iron to achieve this distance.
Here I am hitting the ball the same distance with control in my 60s as I did as a young man. Who says one needs a longer shaft to hit the ball further.
Thank you for providing me with the tools to enjoy playing golf again.
Kind regards,
J.C.

- Great irons -- Derrick - Australia, 13:12:49 11/27/10 Sat
I took advantage of 1 Iron Golf's current free shipping promotion and bought a full set of irons (#3 though LW) plus a #3 wood and driver. I got the Used/Demo set for $275 off the regular price and ended up saving about $405 with that and the free shipping. The clubs arrived in about 1 week and were in excellent condition. The high quality is the first thing you notice and they feel great.
I read some posts where it took a week or so to get used to using the same swing and so forth, but I hit all of the clubs great on the first trip to the range. I immediately picked up a few extra yards with all of the irons over my set of Callaways and I'm confident that after a few more range trips this will increase even more. These are the most accurate clubs I've ever played in my 45+ years of golfing and the ball just zings off of the clubface.
After only a couple of trips to the range I can truly say that I'll never go back to conventional irons again.

- Glad I waited -- Greg, 16:24:56 11/01/10 Mon
I had my 1 Irons for about three weeks and still found after quite a few trips to the range that I was still losing distance with them. I emailed my concerns a few times to Mr. Lake who was more than generous with his time and effort in answering all of my questions and providing insight.
I was just about to return the clubs under their 30-day return policy when out of the blue everything fell into place. Mr. Lake told me that it would if I followed the Playability Tips and just gave them time but I didn't expect how sudden and dramatic the change would be. It was like somebody waved a magic wand and I started hitting great shots with all the clubs. I've gained about five yards in distance with all the irons over what I'm used to and the crisp ball striking is something you have to experience to believe.
My advice to anyone who is initially struggling with the clubs is to keep at it because the fault is the ten or so different swings and ball positions that you've ingrained over the years and not the clubs. Just like me, it takes time and patience but in the end it will click and you'll be amazed. I'll honestly say that if you can't play and excel with these clubs you should find another sport.

- 3 and 4 irons -- Walt, 13:58:48 11/04/10 Thu
I hit the 5 thru Lob Wedge and Driver, 5 and 3-wood better than I have ever hit any clubs in my life. I was concerned that I was not developing enough clubhead speed to use the 3 and 4 iron. David Lake advised me to keep working on it and I would like them as much as the rest. Man, was he ever right. Once I stopped swinging them with all my might and just took the same swing that I would use with a 9-iron, everything fell into place. Fifty years of misguided effort is hard to unlearn but I am getting there thanks to these clubs. I used the same practice routine that David suggested for my 3-wood. I selected the iron that I liked to hit the best (which was all the other irons 5-LW) and alternated hitting my 3-iron with let's say the 7-iron. Same swing, same effort (effortless) and in no time I was hitting that 3-iron better than any 3-iron I have ever tried before.
These clubs WILL work as long as I can keep the stuff between my ears under control. Thank you, David.

I was ready to send it back until I talked to you about the fact that I could not hit it as well as the 5-wood. Took your advice and alternately hit the 5 and 3 wood. Within an hour on the range I was hitting the 3-wood as well as the 5. Went to the course and hit the 3 as far as I used to hit my old driver. Don't think I'll be sending this club back. Let's see if I can do it more than one day in a row...... Thank you!

I purchased my set of 1-Irons fully intending to switch out the shafts for an extra-stiff flex True Temper shaft because my swing speed is so high. After one trip to the range I found that the shafting that 1 Iron Golf uses is magical. I just can't believe that all of the shafting garbage that I've heard over the past 30 years is just that - garbage! 1 Iron Golf has developed a method of shafting that blows me completely away because it works great for anybody with any swing speed. I know first hand because I bought a set for my wife and she kills the ball and loves the clubs using the same shaft that I have in mine. Like 1-Iron says, it's in the golf club balance and nothing more. By the way, I'm a 6 handicap and going down with my 1-Irons.

It's hard to imagine that you can hit a #3 iron built to the length of a #9 iron as far as a conventional #3 iron but, in fact, I hit my new #3 iron about 10 yards farther then I've ever been able to hit one. Plus I never miss-hit it in 30 shots.
I've had the clubs for two days now and can say with 100% certainty that I've been wasting my time for over 40 years playing conventional golf clubs. I know that my game will improve dramatically over the next couple of months. Thank you Mr. Lake for an outstanding set of golf clubs and for fighting the established golf industry.

- 1Irongolf Journey Continues -- James B. McAdams, 20:14:10 10/24/10 Sun
Well the 1Irongolf Journey Continoues with me today going to the driving range with my 1Iron Driver. It feels so balanced, good feel & well made. The first time I hit it, it went sraight down the pipe, no hook or slice. It was about 250 yds. on the 1st hit, unblievable. The second one hit was down the pipe & straight. The third time I hit it, was down the pipe again & straight. The fifth time I flubbed it with a poor hit. The sixth time I was smoking it down the middle being straight & far. I kept on hitting it for about ten more balls & they were down the pipe, straight & out there around 250 yds. I am very happy with this new driver & looking forward to get my #3 wood & #5 wood to complete my set. Thanks, David for building these fine clubs & keep up the great work you are doing. James.

- This lady golfer loves her new 1irons! -- Debra, 16:34:52 09/25/10 Sat
My set of irons and woods arrived yesterday, and I immediately took them to the driving range. I worked with the 8 iron as the playability tips said, and had a few really great shots among many errant shots. But I was expecting that the first time out. Most of my bad shots were because I was topping the ball - something I hadn't done in a long time. Went back today with headphones as suggested somewhere in the website, and it was great. You really can't overthink while listening to music, and my body really does know what to do all by itself. I worked up to the longest iron in the set and I know that these clubs will work for me. I had a really good instructor who taught me to use a "ball in the center of your stance" for everything except the driver, so hitting a five iron that way was not a problem for me.
I had been hesitant to order these clubs because of the steel shafts, but that is not a problem. Unlike other clubs with steel shafts I had tried, there was no vibration or stinging with these. They are a little heavier than what I have been using, but the feel of striking the ball properly with them is truly great and I can get used to that. When I unpacked them I thought the grips were way too big, as I have very small hands, but they just feel good.
Thanks for making such great equipment, and also for the newsletter articles. I have started using the "wrist putting" technique, and it is so much easier than what I was taught. I'm making more and longer putts, and what I don't make are a lot better misses than I've ever had before. I've also started using my 8 iron for chipping and pitching and it is such a pleasure to get really crisp, consistent shots with it (says the person who before was at least the runner-up for the worst chipper/pitcher on the planet). I look forward to a couple more range sessions to conquer the fairway woods and then going to the course for some real fun.

I got the clubs on Sat. the 9th of Oct. I was'nt able to hit them until this morning on the 12th. WOW! What a set of clubs. I got the Demo set & I can't tell if they have been hit.

I went back to the 6iron & hit it alot better & the 3iron, alot better. I also hit the 9iron & PW great. I am going back to the range in the morning for another session with these fine clubs.

- Driver -- Walt, 08:27:22 09/01/10 Wed
David,
I talked to you about the 30-day refund policy for the driver I just ordered. It arrived yesterday and I carefully taped the head to prevent any scratches so that when I sent it back it would be in perfect condition...... To make a long story short, I will not be sending it back. You could not pry it away from me with the jaws of life. Check this out:
1. I did not try to change my setup or swing at all. Just used my old setup and swing.
2. Straight drives on the range during warm-up, then I went out on the course in the evening.
3. Straight drives that were about the same length as my best drives with my old driver.
4. After the first nine holes, I started to take full swings just to see what would happen.
5. I hit several straight drives through the dogleg of fairways that I used to have trouble reaching.
6. Then, and this was the capper, I FLEW the bunkers that I usually cannot reach on the last two holes that I played. The last drive being the longest, straightest drive I have ever hit in my life.
I got in my cart and out of there before I was tempted to start swinging out of my shoes in an attempt to better that last drive.
Thanks, you were right about that driver.
Walt

- Fairway Woods -- Debra, 17:10:45 10/06/10 Wed
I've had my new clubs for a couple of weeks now and have been able to get to the range with them several times and the course with them a few times. I still love them, and they are bringing the joy back to the game.
I ordered the set with the 5 and 7 fairway woods and 5 through PW because I do have a slower swing speed. I am hitting the irons and 7 wood well, but I'm really struggling with the 5 wood. I end up hitting the 7 wood well about 95% of the time and the 5 wood well about 25% of the time. The length of the two clubs is the same, so the only difference I can see is that the 5 wood head is a little bigger. With the 5 wood, I either top the ball or hit way behind it and dig a crater in the earth. I think the problem may be "between the ears" as I have always struggled with fairway woods, but any suggestions would be appreciated.

- New User -- Dr. Michael Birzon (Great Clubs), 14:04:45 10/07/10 Thu
I received my set of irons and it took no time at all to adjust to the
swing. I immediately saw results, saving 3-4 strokes per round. I then
ordered and received my 3 wood which I have been using off the tee. I've spent time at the range and on the course with the new equipment.
Today I played a round of 9 holes at a course that I typically would
shoot between 45-48 for the 9. I shot a 38 (3 over)...the best round
I've had so far.
Thanks for a great set of clubs. I will be ordering my wedge and driver
shortly!

- Best irons -- Leonard, 11:33:54 09/16/10 Thu
I've been to the range twice with my new 1 Irons and they are by far the best irons I've ever played. They're well balanced and smooth as silk. Very solid when striking the ball and distance is about 5 yards farther than my Taylor-Mades. I hit 80 balls at my first and second range trip and only miss-hit about 5 shots each time. Consistent ball striking is a big plus with these irons.

Ordered a set of Used/Demo irons plus all the wedges which arrived today (great service). Excellent workmanship and the Used/Demos look practically brand new. Went to the range with my #3 iron following the playability tips that I received and began hitting shots that bounced off the clouds and seemed to fly forever. I was probably averaging around 200 yards carry and straight down the pike. I've never hit irons this well and a #3 iron to boot!! Will hit all the rest of the irons tomorrow and can't wait until my first round.

I was an unbeliever who had been reading your website for the past few months. Finally I ordered a new set of irons to try out fully convinced that I'd be returning them for a refund. I've had the irons for exactly one month and you will never get them out of my hands. From the day I got them I was impressed with the quality and feel of them and the performance is truly unbelievable. I still can't believe that I'm hitting a gap wedge length #3 iron farther than my old "long" one and never miss-hit it. Thanks for making a believer out of me and helping me play better than ever.

- 1 Iron Success in League Play -- Michael, 15:07:53 06/22/10 Tue
I play in a 9 hole league on Tuesday mornings. I have had several causal rounds under par, but today I posted my first sub par round in league play.
I started out par, par, par. I birdied the next two holes. I finished with a par, par, bogey, and par for a score of 1 under.
I won two skins for the birdies, and I posted the lowest gross score.
I can honestly say that I would not be playing this well if not for my 1 Irons. I love the consistent set up position, which makes my iron play so easy.
When other players hit driver or three wood, I am hitting 3 or 4 iron. Why? It's not just that I am playing safe. I know the precise distance that each of my clubs will travel, because my swing has been grooved by my consistent set up. Usually I am hitting my second shot from the fairway about the same distance to the green as "driver guy." The main difference is that I am in the fairway, and he is in the scruff. Knowing where the ball will end up before I swing sure has made the game more enjoyable for me.
I do not know why anyone would want to play clubs other than 1 Irons. I honestly don't.
Michael

I got my 1 Irons last fall. Due to a long winter, I have only been playing my new Irons for about 6 weeks now. And I'm very pleased with them
A lot of people have asked me, how do you get the ball so high and still so far. I can only say " it's the 1 Irons".
My quistion is. Why do I get so high trajectory and still a great distance with the 1 Irons?

- Very happy -- John, 08:28:27 05/18/10 Tue
My order was delivered this past Saturday (Used/Demo set of irons) and I was immediately impressed by their looks and high quality. I went to the range on both Sunday and Monday following the outline in the Playability Tips that you emailed to me. I can honestly say that I've never played irons as good as these in my entire life. For the first time I feel completely comfortable hitting the #3 and #4 irons - long and straight. I'm going to give my old hybrids to my brother-in-law since I don't need them anymore. All of the irons are about 5 yards farther than my Callaways and I hit every one of them perfectly.
I was skeptical when I first read your website since I'm shorter in height than average and 65 years old. But you've made a true believer out of me in only two days.

- used 1 iron driver & 3 wood on golf trip -- Jim Benjamin, 17:37:49 05/10/10 Mon
I went on a long weekend golf trip this past weekend in Northern Arizona. I played 3 rounds with my 1 irons, my 1 iron driver and my new 1 iron 3 wood. I was very surprized. I hit my driver high and long and very straight. I was aiming way away from bunkers and hazards and found I didn't need to. I can aim just left or right of the bunker and miss it! Hooray! I hit my 1 iron driver at least as far as my Taylormade Burner if not farther. I believe I was hitting the 3 wood longer than my Taylormade 3 wood.
My golfing partner is about a 6 handicap and I asked him to hit the 6 iron on one Par 3 he hit his 6 iron on. It was agbout 180 yards and he got closer to the pin with the 1 iron 6 iron. :-) Later on I had him try the driver and he hit it about the same as his, about 300 yards, but much higher. he said the loft was too much for him.
It was a great four days and I played very well. I can't wait until the 5 wood is available.

I received my 1 iron irons and woods 6 weeks ago and had practiced according to the playability tips at the range. Results were promising but no big improvement. However on a recent golf holiday things really started to come together. I was hitting fairways and greens in regulation with consistancy and my putting was the only part of my game which did not improve. I even had my first hole in one after 50 years of golf. The shot covered the flag the whole way. These really are the best clubs I have ever played but they do need time to get used to.

- 3-wood as driver -- Tom, 19:15:57 05/09/10 Sun
I recently added the 3w to my 1-iron set and started using it in place of a driver. So far, the trade-off of accuracy vs distance is working out in my favor, but I also noticed another benefit. I'm suddenly much better with my 2nd shots using the 5 and 7 woods. Coincidence maybe, but I think it might be eliminating the driver swing and set-up has allowed me to stay a bit more in the groove with my fairway woods during a round.

- First Round With Titanium Driver -- Brad, 19:03:01 04/26/10 Mon
After a few sessions getting acclimated on the practice range, I finally had an opportunity to use the 1-Iron Titanium driver on the golf course.
The result: 11 of 14 fairways in regulation in bad conditions (rain-soaked course and 20-30 mph winds) with three near misses. And for the first time ever, I played a full round not only with one golf ball, but with a single tee.
All of which adds up to: Shorter driver = better contact = more accurate driving.
Because of the extreme conditions, I cannot honestly say I hit the 1-Iron Titanium driver shorter, farther, or the same distance, as my conventional model. I suspect total distance (carry plus roll) is comparable, perhaps a little bit less.
Which isn't necessarily a bad thing, given the accuracy of David's single-length irons. For my part, I would rather hit an 8-Iron from the short grass, than a Pitching wedge around a tree, out of the rough.
If you have an open mind and are hitting a standard-length driver with mixed results, the 1-Iron Titanium driver is definitely worth checking out.

- Golf Channel -- John, 11:42:38 04/20/10 Tue
I read about your 1 Iron Golf System a few years ago in Golf Digest and went to your website and was very intrigued. A few weeks ago I saw 1 Iron Golf on the Golf Channel and became more intrigued so I ordered a full set of your irons along with a #3 wood and driver which I received on April 10th.
My only regret was not ordering them a few years back when I first became aware of your system. I've never owned a set of clubs of this high quality before and certainly never owned a set so well balanced and confidence inspiring. The Playability Tips I received were right on target and I had no trouble getting used to using a single swing and ball position with all of the clubs. I've easily gained 5 yards in distance with all the clubs and the control and accuracy are stunning.
I'm currently a 5 handicap but am sure these clubs will take me to "0" within a couple of months. Thank you for a fantastic product along with great customer service and for the Swing Tips newsletters.

- 2nd Time on the range -- Jeremy Graham UK (JJ), 23:49:45 04/15/10 Thu
Morning David
I took on board you coments about lateral swaying in my swing,and you are right. I have been working hard on the swing in a barrel approach and have found a more consistant strike of the ball with the irons and as for the driver again I have found by removing that lateral sway and getting my head behind the ball instead of in front I have not only increased my distance but also gained height and a straighter ball flight. At this stage I am only using about a 3/4 swing.
I will keep you informed of my progress as I am gaining more confidence with every trip to the range.
The big test will be when I play my first match.
Kind regards
Jeremy (JJ)

Twice now I've had to hit a draw to get my ball on the green. I closed the face a little, aimed right and swung along my aim line. The ball went dead straight. I also tried a fade and the fall flew a little higher but dead straight again. Not all holes are straight.

I opened the box my new 1 Irons came in at my friends range today. I immediately took the 3-iron out and started hitting the best shots of my life. I never dreamed I'd be able to hit a 3-iron like that after years of not being able to hit anything stronger than a 5-iron. These irons are beautiful and the quality is very high indeed. They swing easy and feel very solid at impact. The ball jumps off the clubface like I've never seen with other irons and they hit about one club farther in distance than I'm used to. I was hitting the 5-iron at the 170 yard marker and the 3-iron at the 190 yard marker with a surprisingly high trajectory. I was able to hit perfectly straight shots or work the ball at will with no problem.
Thank you Mr. Lake for these fine clubs. BTW the customer service is phenomenal.

- first tournament with 1 irons -- Juan (Juan Belon Gallego), 10:31:28 03/21/10 Sun
Hi all,
After a couple of rainy months, i was able to participate in a tournament with my 1irons.
As i am still not confident with the driver i only used my 3 iron (excepting 1 hole, where i sliced a little bit the driver)
The rest of the group congratulated my swing and consistency and i won the tournament (first time in my life) with 41 points.
Of course, it is not only the clubs but a lot of work in the driving range but certainly i was able to play 3i 4i 5i etc... without any fear at all.
Most impresive shot was 180 yards with 4i... from the fairway bunker to a couple of yards to the green.
I really hope that i can make my previous distance with my driver with the same consistency in the future!
Best regards and happy golf,
Juan

- Hitting irons well -- Jim Benjamin, 08:49:30 03/18/10 Thu
I have played four rounds with my 1 irons and my shot making has improved with each round. I am hitting them so straight it's amazing and my original distance is just about come back. Since I have started playing with them I have had four birdies and one closet-to-the-pin win. My closest-to-the-pin came on a 170 yard hole into some wind and I hit the 3 iron to about 3 feet. I had to play the shot right of a mound in the green hoping it would release down the mound to the left where the pin was. It went right where I wanted it to and rolled up, over the top of the mound and down to the pin. Most of my birdies have been from shots hit 6 feet or less from the hole. This past Saturday I was about 170 out, in the wrong fairway to the right and had to hit up over some trees to the green. I hit my 4 iron and it sailed up over the trees and I was pin high just two yards right of the green but was able to get up and down. Thanks David!

I bought a driver and 3 wood before the price change in January. I didn't have a chance to play with them, because I live in the north.
I had a chance to play this afternoon at my home course. If anybody is sitting on the fence thinking they may or may not get these clubs . . . well, they are excellent. The thing that amazed me was how deadly accurate they are. I felt like I could place the ball wherever I wanted to do so on the fairway. Very fun.
