Subject: 1irons work
Just wanted to give kudos to David Lake and his 1irons. The concept of the irons makes sense and man do they work! In addition, what I read on the forums about his high level of personal commmunication with his customers and potential customers was spot-on.
I'm using David's 3-L right now and shot my first tournament round in the 60s with them. If you are interested in trying them, definitely do so...but make sure to try the whole set and use the full 30-day money-back guarantee. At first I still made the same misses I used to make with my old irons. It took about a month for the inner workings of my brain to "get" that all the clubs were the same...even though I knew it on a conscious level the whole time. The consistency with my iron-play has since noticeably improved, and I still get the same distance gaps as my old clubs.
Also, if you try them and aren't getting the same distance as your old irons, keep in mind the loft differences and the overall weight differences. For example, if your old graphite-shafted PW is listed at 46 degrees but was somehow bent to 45 degrees, of course it could go farther than a steel-shafted 47 degree 1iron PW.
And I know David advocates using only one club for chipping, but for those like myself that like to use different clubs, the 1irons will improve your chipping as well. Each club is the same and the only thing that changes is the height of the shot.

David,
About 2 years ago, I had the opportunity to watch Jaacob demo his driving prowess at a Los Angeles area range. He was hitting drive after drive well over 300 yards with ease. He used a couple of his drivers, as well as a driver from one of the other spectators. I am curious if he has tried your 1-Iron titanium driver. If so, did you get any feedback from him about it? What shaft length would he get?

Hi Robert,
Just curious...at which range did you see me?
Yes, I have tried David's driver and fairway woods. With my 37" WTF...my woods are built to 41.5" and driver is 43". I hit all of them very consistently accurate.
I rotate the 5W in and out of my bag depending on the course that I'm playing. However, at the moment, I'm not using the 3W or driver. Despite their extremely good accuracy, I want a 3W that goes a little farther and I want a driver with a smaller head volume such that I have the option to hit it directly off the fairway to reach a really long Tour-length par-5.
Keep in mind, though, that what meets my personal needs is different than what would be beneficial to most golfers. The larger hitting area on a 460cc driver is more forgiving...and it's not really smart to hit a driver off the deck unless your ball-striking and swing speed has been developed to a certain level.
David and I have been discussing options for me.

Jaacob,
The driving range is in the northern reaches of the San Fernando Valley. Can't remember the name. You were helping Dan with his workshop, which was videotaped.

Ah, yes, that would have been Dan's How to Kill the Ball clinic with me, Dan, Phil Reed (who wrote that In Search of the Greatest Golf Swing book) and David Bernacki...I think in July 2005. That was fun. :-)
How you been hitting em?
