Tony,

If you want more distance and less accuracy just try to hit with more power, but if you want both more distance and accuracy then i recommend you try the suggestions outlined in this forum and on the Playability Tips that you received with your order.

As David already said, shaft length has nothing to do with distance - in fact hitting the sweet-spot of the club will give you more distance. Faster swing-speed also effects your distance! for me I reduced my back-swing to the point where my left arm is parallel to the ground - from there I can add some power to the swing and I'm still able to bring the club back to impact hitting the sweet-spot 90% of the time. give it a try on the range! for me - less back-swing results more distance and more accuracy!

Tony: I have been using 1-Irons for a couple of years now, and have actually increased my distance simply by "finishing the swing". As I teach new golfers, this is one of their major problems. They slow their swing down right after impact, and can't figure out why they are losing distance. Fact is, to obtain maximum distance, you must be accelerating THRU the swing, until you reach the end of your swing (over your forward shoulder). If you immediately slow your swing down after hitting the ball, that means you had to start slowing down BEFORE your club head ever reached the ball! Next time you're at the range, try to focus on accelerating thru the ball, and don't stop your swing at some pre-determined height - just make a nice, controlled and COMPLETE swing. It really works and will give you the added distance you're looking for. Have a great day and hit 'em straight! R2
