Thanks Ed. Do you use tapered grips or the non tapered grips? Do you play the ball from center stance as David recommends or do you place it differently for different clubs? Keep hitting it in the short grass! Jerry

Jerry,
I did replace the original grips with golf pride mid size tour wrap. I had them built up with two extra wraps on the lead hand and three wraps on the trail hand. This was per the reccomendation of Tim Graves. As to ball position, I generally play most everything middle of stance. I have to fight a tendency to play most of the irons slightly back in the stance. It seems however that it is better to be slightly back than forward. Pitching is one area that I still am not comfortable with middle of stance but its coming. How about you? What seems to work and what doesn't?
I am certainly not thinking of changing from single axis or from the 1 irons. Take care. Ed

Ed, thanks for the info. I use a center of stance ball placement for all the irons. For the driver and woods, I move the ball forward a couple of inches. I have the CER version of 1Irons and my driver is a 10.5 loft. I find I need to have it a little forward to achieve a good trajectory. I also use the mid size grips on my clubs, but I have not added the wraps. Stay in the short grass, Jerry

I have been using a set of 3w,5, 7w and 5 to 9 irons for a month now (latest club design) with the stock grips. Generaly I like midsize grips but will not change this year as I am having good success and still getting better. Awsome at the driving range but having to get on the course more to gain confidence and performance there. Using the center ball position and this is working better and better for me as I gain confidence in it (except driver). Get really good control with the woods from the center ball position and have driven the green (and held on)on a number of par 3s with 5 and 7 woods which is what I wanted to do when I bought these clubs. Just buildt a component driver that is awsome and it is as good as OEMs (better than most)that I tried at some demo days but at considerably less cost.

I am a single axis club swinger. My golfing buddies shake their heads at my swing but can't argue with long and straight. Especialy 250-280 yd drives down the fairway.

My motivation on 1 Iron Clubs was to gain better control and I am definitely improving in this department while still working on getting more yardage on the irons.

Golf ---- a lovely walk in the park.

Cliff
