Subject: The secret to 1 Iron Golf

One or two companies in the past have come out with single length golf clubs with no success. The most notable were the Tommy Armour EQLs in the early 90's. Being a professional club builder I tinkered with the concept for awhile having clubheads cast for me that were all the same weight and lie angle, and I think I saw somewhere that a component company was currently planning this. The problem is that just like Tommy Armour, I believed that the clubhead alone was the key to the single club length concept. Wrong!!! David Lake and 1 Iron Golf are like the Wright brothers in that they did'nt invent the concepts, they just made them work. Not only is the design of the 1 Iron Golf clubhead perfect for single length play, but David also invented his proprietary shaft optimization process that proved to be the missing link in the equation. This is the true secret of 1 Iron Golf - shaft optimization. My understanding is that David found that standard golf shafts could never work in this concept so he designed his own shafts based upon the required loading properties and shaft deflection, the result was immediate success. Anyway, the bottom line is that these clubs are awesome. Anybody who thinks that they can duplicate the playability of 1 Iron Golf clubs without using David's shaft optimization process is kidding themselves - just ask Tommy Armour.
