Longer shafts on wedges would generate more club head speed so presumably they would increase the loft to gap the irons better leading to high Spinny shots. Not sure how you would deal with this on a windy day?

Back in the late 80's another company Browning had equal length clubs, think it may have been a woods set rather than irons, ,cant' quite remember, but a classmate had a set.

If he keeps it up the Wishon could be onto a winner.

Sorry to drag an old thread up ...
but just been watching a few vids on this, one question what about half shots and 3/4 shots are they affected?

In what way?

Well I have my clubs marked up with 3 distances on all my wedges and down to 8 iron. So chipping distances are all covered,for example my 60 degree is marked 80, 64, 40 so full,3/4 and half swing ( cannot remember my other ones off the top of my head ... I have them taped to the club .. I know " nerd tendency" ) ... What I am asking is the gapping affected on 3/4 and half shots?
Crossfield did a test with a set and he found his distances and gapping were extremely close to his current set of clubs. He was laughing by the 3rd or 4th club as they were performing so closely to a standard set. It shocked him. Based on that I would say the figures for 3/4 swings etc should be very similar. No reason why not.
Interesting that none of the big boys has put out a set of these yet, as far as I am aware. I'd be hugely interested in them if they did.

Why do you need a big OEM to put out a set? Why not buy from Wishon for instance? Would TM or Cally make a set any different?

Tom wishon may make good clubs but he could do with jazzing them up a bit. Some of them are real grim looking.
Never heard of Wishon or seen a set in a shop. I'm not that committed to search out a unique set from a mfr I'm not familiar with. I'd feel happier with one of the regulars from a regular shop and I'm sure I'm not alone in that thought
Just googled them and they badly need a designer to make them more attractive. Modern clubs are great in their looks, these look like something from 20yrs ago.

Surely the only thing that matters is how they look at address when you're looking down at them...??
Craig, the guy at dynamic golf, Brunswick , recently built a single length set of these, pop in, as local to us as you'll find and take a look

Beauty is very much "in the eye of the beholder".
Personally I find blades and shallow cavity backs attractive. The ranges of Ping , TaylorMade and Callaway all look to me as if they were designed and manufactured by Cammell Laird.
But, as I say, each to their own.

Tom Wishon is a well revered club designer that majority of OEMs would like him to be in their R&D. He doesn't have the mass budget that the OEMs have but never the less the quality is still there. Having an attractive looking club doesn't make you play any better, but if your judging it on looks alone then look no further then the awful new ping i blades!!! But you only see from the top side and majority wouldn't know the difference between one from the other.
Single length clubs isn't a new concept, in fact after the hullabaloo of Dechambeau, Wishon was working on and brought out a set of SLCs before Cobra who signed him and then had a set designed for him.
Such a gimmick

I am sure others produce these
So what happens when you used to hit your 4 iron 200 yards and now can only hit your longest iron 180?
Rather than a spread of 120 yards with your irons you must have a shorter gap, wedge goes further long irons shorter, so you do not need so many clubs.. why not drop half of them, BUT if you are going to do that, why not then get a shorter lofted club for short shots and a longer one for long shots.. etc etc.. and so you return to the logical set of irons!

That has been the primary concern hence the change in face type at the lower loft end of the range. They also have used 2 different materials to counter the issue. I suppose there is another point as well, the player is more likely to middle the longer irons due to the shaft length.
They also know that the 5 could be a struggle so offer a hybrid from that point on.
It it will be interesting to see how it all goes, other forums has had feedback in general play ... But everyone will always be happy initially

I fully understand the points about beauty and view from above. Each to their own.
