hi john, I am 52 years old, been golfing 4 full years now. My swing speed when I started was lower than yours, now its about the same as yours. I bought my first set of 1 iron clubs maybe 3 yrs. ago. I had the same thoughts as you did, so I took two bags out on a cart, and would hit my graphite 7 iron, then the 1 iron 7 iron, I also used other irons in my experiment. This experiment worked best with 7 iron to 7 iron, and there was no difference at all with those clubs. Trying to hit a 3 iron graphite thats a couple inches longer than my 1 iron clubs was difficult after getting used to hitting the same length clubs. I can hit a graphite 3 iron slightly farther off a tee than I can my 1 iron 3 iron off a tee. Off the fairway or in the rough I can hit my 1 irons slightly farther now than my old graphites. It doesnt make sense, but hitting the sweet spot is my guess is why it works so well. I rarely hit a fat or thin shot anymore either with any of my clubs, using the 1 irons has just cleaned up my game all around. My handicap has dropped pretty dramatically since using 1 iron clubs. Hope this helps,,,,,ed
