Can you hit a 1 iron

[trevor]

I have 2 modern driving irons, a 1 and a 3. There is only about 1/2 inch difference in length and not much difference in loft but I can hit the 3 lovely but the 1 can’t even hit it at the driving range. The 3 iron comes with me all the time for various T shots but the 1 has never been in the bag.

Yes, I'm a 1-iron god.

Rarely have it in the bag though, as I can hit my 3 wood better with wind and prefer the extra weight of the head into the wind.

Used to be able to, don't think I have the clubbed speed these days to make it viable. Might take it out tomorrow & check.

I have this in the bag. Same loft as a 1 iron. Behaves like a 1 iron but so much easier to control and hit.

Great off the tee. Dropped my 60 degree wedge this last 5 rounds which I never thought I would.


Proper weapon.

Not consistently, but it doesn't stop me having fun trying.
This is my scariest 1 iron, Petron TPX TP200.

Beautiful, but giving me nightmares already!!!

I doubt if I could.
I used to have a Howson driving iron, and got the occasional good shot.
Give me my Ping 12 degree driver every time.
I carry a 3 iron for pushing out from under the trees, and can be pretty good with it.

I still have my Ping Eye2 set in the garage - 1 iron through lob wedge. I used them for years, and didn't carry woods. Won a couple of long drives with the one iron.

I couldn't hit son x14, 2 iron, not a chance.

Got this little bad boy in the loft - was never much able to hit it. It was bought by my best mate as he was 5h/cap and keen to get down to low Cat1 - and he knew his driving was just a bit too 'loose'. But he couldn't get on with it so I inherited it. At the time Tom Watson was in his heyday and this was his go-to killer clubs on the links

I have a Ping Zing 2 version somewhere.
I could never really hit it, I think that's because it was a green dot.

I had one of these. It was great. Wish I'd kept it
