re: Thinking of getting a one iron

Let's be honest, no need for a 1 iron today.

Gonna disagree. I carry what is basically a 2 iron strictly for hitting longer punch shots from the trees. It's the same loft as my hybrid, but I can't keep a hybrid down. I'd like to see the baw hit his one iron.

Carrying a club specifically to hit shots from under trees sounds like you need to work on driving and ditch the 2 iron for a scoring club.

I can hit a knee high punch shot with my 4i or 5i so I guess I don't even see the need for a 2i in that scenario.

I can actually swing the 1 very well.

It's the other clubs I can't swing worth a damn.

Anyone here hit one and can chime in?

No, because there are other clubs I could use to get the same benefit, minus the risk. Getting a 1-iron is stupid.

I used to have an older Ping 1-Iron. I was very consistent with it and could hit it about 240-250 off the box. I didn't even carry a driver for about 2 years after the shaft in my old Titleist 975J broke.

I eventually replaced my driver and I replaced the 1-Iron with an 18° 5-wood. The 5-wood is a little more versatile for me. I can move it better and get a higher shot trajectory with it.

You can hit punch shots with a 4 iron or any club really.

i'll contemplate the 1 iron after i can hit the 2 iron.









so that may be day after never.
