Bob,

Swingweight and Moment-of-Inertia (MOI), is identical throughout a set of 1 Irons for the simple reason that all of the iron clubheads weigh exactly the same and are shafted exactly the same.

Generally speaking, there is only a 1" difference in club length between a properly fitted conventional wedge and a 1 Iron wedge. Consequently, based soley on club length, you would experience no loss of "feel" in the wedges. Additionally, due to the way we shaft our irons (using our proprietary Shaft Optimization Process), you would actually experience a greater degree of "feel" throughout the entire set of 1 Irons.

Bob,

You must have mis-understood my answer. The typical length for a conventional PW or SW purchased from a golf store is 36". If a golfer had a W-T-F measurement of 34.5" (average), his entire set of 1 Irons (#3 through LW), would be 36.5" in length. For those with a 35" W-T-F measurement their set of 1 Irons would be 37" in length. As you can see there is very little difference between a conventional wedge club length and any iron within a set of 1 Irons and no difference between the "feel". Your current wedges would basically feel the same as ours, and all of the 1 Irons within the set would have this same feel.
