If you follow the playability instructions that come with the irons you won't have any problems. I've easily gained 10 yards per iron over my old Pings and I never seem to miss hit shots anymore. It's not going to happen overnight and it takes a few trips to the range but when it starts to click it's fantastic. David Lake suggested to me to only take my 3-iron to the range because the reasoning is that once you master the iron with the least amount of loft your skill with the higher lofted irons grows exponentially. It was the best advice I've ever gotten and since then the 3-iron is the only club in the car when I head for the range. It might take half a bucket or even a full bucket of balls the first time out before you start to develop your feel and timing for these irons and the single swing. But once you do the ball shoots off the clubface with a high trajectory - long and straight.

I played regular golf clubs for 30 years before switching to the 1 Irons. The main obstacle I found was that when I had the 1 Iron #3 iron in my hand I would swing it like my old #3 iron which does not work at all. This was a habit that was hard to overcome even though my 1 Iron #3 was 2" shorter than my old #3. The trick is to use a #7 iron swing with all the irons and this sounds simple but really takes some getting used to.

When I started with the 1 Irons I had a 5 handicap and after one season I'm now down to a 2 handicap. I hit the ball farther and with exact yardage gaps between irons - 10 yards. I truly wish that I'd bought these clubs years ago.
