Jeff,

Based upon your W-T-F measurement your 1 Irons would be approximately the equivalent of a conventional #8 iron in club length, weight, and lie angle.

Most golfers have trouble with their wedges and blade a lot of shots due to the high degree of bounce angle typically found in conventional wedges (12º-14º in the Sw, and 8-10º in the Lw). All of our wedges, with the exception of the Sw, have the same 3º bounce angle as the rest of the irons within a set. Our Sw has only a 6º bounce angle coupled with a wider sole than the rest of our irons making it an ideal iron out of the sand and an extremely playable iron from a close cut fairway or hardpan. Bladed shots simply do not occur with 1 Iron wedges.

"Bladed shots simply do not occur with 1 Iron wedges."
Thanks David. But that's a pretty bold statement there.
I'll agree that the number of bladed shots would be reduced based on the reduced bounce angle. But I'm pretty sure there's still a chance of a bladed shot. Granted due to swing error, but the possibility still exists.

I think what David means is if you ask most golfers how often they blade their wedges the answer will be fairly high but if you ask them how often they blade their 8 iron their answer will be never.
