Re: Distance from ball -- Steve P. (Thanks David), 06:57:47 01/24/08 Thu
OK, to be honest, I have never been one to go to the range and pound 3 irons, I much prefer hitting the majority of my practice shots from 100 yards in and as such, I am a very good wedge player. But, I am committed to giving these 1 Irons a run for their money so I went out yesterday in the wind and rain, 3 iron in tow and hit a couple hundred balls. It was a very revealing experience.
Firstly, I realized I was crowding the ball, by about 6".
Secondly, I realized I was comming too far from the inside, either blocking it right or if I was able to flip through it, hitting a low sniper to the left.
I proceded to work on getting my plane in order and by about 100 balls I was hitting torwards my target, for the most part. Not a pretty trajectory yet, but straight.
I started to feel comfortable and began trying to hit golf shots, working the ball higher with a nice cut or hitting a low draw that runs forever (A shot I would use on a short par 4 off the tee).
By this time I had a smile on my face and I was pretty worn out, but, I had to see how I would hit another club after all these 3 irons, so, I went to my car and grabbed a wedge.
David, you are so right when you say focus on your 3 iron and all the other clubs will benifit, which is contrarian to standard length clubs. I hit about 10 wedges and was hitting them so high and so far it was ridiculous. I was basically hitting the ball about 120 yards with what I would call a half wedge. As pure as the driven snow....
I am so excited...

All,
Not sure how this thread is going, I don't want to tie up the space if this is going nowhere. I will update this thread going forward when I feel I have something interesting to offer.
My observations so far;
I have hit @ 3000 range balls, chipped for a few hours and played 5 rounds with my new 1 Irons.
Ball flight is higher than I would prefer but I am hesitant to make any adjustments until I groove my "One" swing with all the irons.
It is very easy to hit a draw with these irons, not so for the fade, this I would expect with the head design.
My biggest problem on the course has been with the wedges, the sharp leading edge and the added length of the shaft make it very easy to hit the ball fat, of which I've done too many times. I don't seem to have the same trouble on the range, so this has been very frustrating.
I am playing a new course(to me) with a new group of guys Friday, this should be a very good indication of how I am comming along with these clubs.
At this point, I am confident that I made a good decision going with the 1 Irons....
I will let you all know.
Steve P.
