Subject: A new customer!

Well after much thought and pleading to the wife unit (LOL)...I saw the new spring sale on the website and could not resist to make my purchase finally. Just so you all know I priced my order sometime in December 07 and it came to just under $1700.....then the spring sale came and I saved over $500 on my purchase!!! All I can say is WOW!! The service was awesome and I even got a personal confirmation and question answered by David within hours of my order. The only thing that was not explained on the order form was when I would receive them, but I am sure another email will follow with an update soon. I can't wait to get them and see what I bought............I will keep you all posted!

New Clubs Received!

Before I continue my blog on my 1 Iron Adventure, I wanted to tell everyone I am a golf hacker, not very good, but I have fun playing. This year I will win all of my side bets, that is my goal as well as lowering my dismal scores of course. I usually shoot in the high 90s and low 100s..and have played off an on for 3 or 4 years, but never seriously. This year will be different...I am aiming for 80s!

Ok, well I received my order, all came in one box but each item was individually wrapped with care. I bought the whole enchalada, Driver, 3/5 woods, 3 - PW irons, LW (on back order), GW, SW, covers, new grips and the book.

First impression is WOW! You definately get what you paid for...my last set was off the shelf, flimsy, did not fit and way over priced. The feel, craftsmanship are tremendous. I have never owned steel shafts before......but I have seen many being used. First thing I noticed is on most steel shafts they have the crinkles or bubbles on the shafts usually two or three in between the grip and the head (I dont know the real name of them)....these are one continuous piece and feel very solid.

Only one thing I notice that is just a cosmetic dislike is; why is the driver a nice dark blue color on the head but the 3 & 5 woods are black? Would look better all the same colors or maybe in future editions let the customer choose the colors, better yet let them design what they would want on them for a cost of course....would be cool if I could say paint them to look like a Dallas Cowboys helmet with the star for example....or burnt ornge or whatever they wanted.

Ok thats it for now, I am reading Davids book now waiting for some nice weather to hit the driving range and use the techniques.......will post once I hit them.

Finally got to hit the clubs today. Followed Davids instructions and hit each iron, wedge, woods and driver all at 1/2 swings (5 balls on each). Starting with the 3 iron I flubbed the first 2 shots and smacked the last 3 and it went that way up until the 6 iron. After that I got the hang of just nipping the turf with the club and driving through the ball and turning my wrist and waist properly. WOW!! It's like hitting butter when you get them dialed in. I do have to admit I was hitting off of a mat at the range but still WOW! I am a very bad slicer and I think I only hit 2 slices out of two buckets that I hit the rest were straight as an arrow. Even the bad flubbed shots were fairly stratight and still would have played ok on the course. Tomorrow is my day 2 hitting and I get to hit 3/4 and full swings....I can't wait!!! I will post after tomorrows training........... very happy so far!!!

Danny,

It sounds like you are getting your new 1 Irons dialed in. I appreciate that you are following our "Playability Tips" and you will not be disappointed in doing so. Like the old saying goes "Make haste slowly".

Well here is day 2 - After hiting about 3 balls at 3/4 swing I took a full swing on the remaining 2 for each club. After two buckets I AM SORE...Ouch!! But, I hit well, I still had some slice problems with full shots but I know this is my mechanics and I am out of golf shape, so after a few more weeks of range time I should be in shape enough to work out the kinks.
One thing I will mention here is these clubs are weighty compared to my off the rack previous set. It tests your back and arm muscles for sure. I know once I am used to them it will get better.
When the balls come off these clubs its like they are being shot out of a gun, its amazing when you get solid contact. Well I will be working on my hitting for the next few weeks and will update once I get back in shape enough to play my first round. Still too cold here to play yet, but it will be warming up soon!! BTW, thanks David for the kind words of encouragement.

Danny,

I would surely be sore after hitting two full buckets of balls at the range. I strongly recommend that golfers limit themselves to one bucket at the most because once you start becoming tired you are just burning calories and accomplishing very little in the way of improvement.

It does sound like your ball striking is becoming very crisp and powerful.

Well practice is going well, I am hitting straighter but a little shorter, but distance will come I am sure. It took me a while to get used to hitting these and reprogram my tendencies. Those that have just purchased these clubs do yourself a favor and spend time at the range tuning your swing.....it is well worth it.

My first round of the year was Friday and well.....I shot a 91. My putting cost me some strokes and I am still getting used to the wedges. But for me that is an ok round....I think I just got frustrated (mental thing).

Keep on practicing!!! Good luck to all the new 1 Iron golfers!
