Cobra going single length

Rickochet

Southside "Years" ago single length clubs were a big deal for a short period of time. Did not last long or really improve anyone's game. I tried a few irons the same length because the concept made sense to me at the time. I believe I had the 6 iron on down to the wedges all the same length.

Not all "Single Length" sets are the same. I have played 3 sets of different brands of SL irons. I currently have a set of Wishon Sterling SL's in the bag and they have improved my game substantially. I think what has helped me using the the SL concept is getting the heads to an 8 iron weight. The others I tried at at 6 and 7 iron length were not as successful. And you don't have to change your swing or make any adjustments. My 8 ron has always been my favorite iron. Now I have a bag full of favorite irons.

I think Bryson is an example of how SL can work but I think his swing is a bad example for the average bear who wants to try it.

Buy a set and try it for a year and then tell me what you think. As I said it is nothing new. It is an old concept. If it was that great it would have been around for many years. I't just recently resurfaced because one guy had success with it. Think about that. I would say if Jason Day, Phil, Dustin and the other top pros switch to it then maybe there is something there. Let me know when they switch over. 🙂

That is a totally uninformed post. Did you read my post? Yes, the concept has been around for many years. But, the new clubs have tweaked the concept.

Actually I did. So far I love the 4 clubs I have assembled. Will be putting the rest together tonight. Playing tomorrow.

Always funny when someone who does not post much brings up "it's an old concept" like they are informing everyone of this fact.

Everyone. Knows. This.

I guess I will tell our literally thousands of happy SL players that the concept does not work.

Really ?
You had sold thousands of set of S.L. iron ? That is just amazing . Maybe it is picking up.
Like the e-commerce were predicted never to take off a few decades ago.

Also funny that they use the old "if a tour player doesn't use it or do it, it sucks" argument.

God I hate that. My game has nothing in common with a tour pro's. I don't care what ball or clubs they use, it has no meaning to my game.

ValueGolf Yes, thousands.

I'm fallen behind, again........

And I suspect that the "thousands" ValueGolf is referring to are just those sales of his product, the Pinhawks. There are thousands of sets (probably tens of thousands) of other brands sold as well, including Sterlings and 1Irons.

Correct. I think many folks don't realize how much single length is moving the needle.

Apparently because Jason Day doesn't play them. (eye roll)

Haven't seen any on the golf course nor the driving range yet, will keep an eye open and report the firs sighting.

I see so some of you are saying that SL irons are just for hacks. Not for those with better handicaps. Got it. Well maybe they do work for hacks. I don't know. Good luck suckers and keep chasing that dream and wasting your money on gimmicks. If the concept was truly any good of course better players would embrace it. They would be stupid not to as it would also improve their game. But they are not stupid. Duh.

Keep posting while I get some popcorn.

All these darn hack ideas coming out. Cavity backs, hybrids, lightweight shafts, club and ball fittings, Sl irons. Ruining the game.

Personally, SL irons make a ton of sense to me. The distance gapping was always an issue in my mind, but many different ways have been shown to overcome this. I will be gaming a set next year. Not sure which one, will see what looks good to my eye.

And I like traditional length irons. I hit irons (long included) and FW's very well, suck with driver and hybrids. But I hit an 8 iron a heck of a lot more consistently than a 4 or 5. So if I can hit a 5 iron with the distance of a 5 and the consistency of an 8, why wouldn't i?

Weirfan oh yeah, Text headed your way.

I am going to take a long look at the Cobra single length set. My intention is to get fitted for a new set of irons this year and I will have to put these on the list. The concept intrigues me, as I have hit a single length set in the past and if they have rectified or improved upon the technology it might be a go.

Here's where I see a problem with this coming from a big oem company. Over the years companies have been decreasing loft and increasing shaft length in order to advertise the "longest hitting irons you've ever played". So people are playing with clubs too long for them. It screws with their posture and they end up doing a million little moves to compensate. It's one of the reasons your average hacker hits their short irons so much better than mid and long irons. Now their clubs are all the same length which i don't see a problem with as long as they are the correct length for the player. Most people who buy these won't do a custom fitting and it's going to lead to a lot of bad reviews.

theres enough evidence and validation out there from the companies who have been selling SL clubs to more than substantiate that the system has been successful for many golfers.
Will it be a game changer for everyone, of course not, but reducing variability and improving consistency will help many after they make the adjustment . For the high to mid capper, I think they will be well received as the component versions have been.
