Subject: 1Irons vs Blackstones

I bought a set of demo 1Irons late last season and didn’t really have time to get used to them. Now that I’ve had some time with them I really like the feel, the ball flight and direction (straight). But I am a full club shorter. Now I never was a long hitter and have always used one or two clubs more than my playing partners. I am leaning toward age as the problem (75). My question is: would changing to the lighter club head weight Blackstones help in this distance shortfall? My ego takes a beating when I pull the 5 where I used to pull the 6 or a 9 instead of a PW. Thanks for the help and I really am enjoying the single length experience.

Rick,

Certainly age has something to do with it; however, differences in loft angles between brands affects it a lot more. Believe me, one brands #5 iron is not the sames as another brand. Click on the following link for a detailed explanation:

Thank you David. I see now that there is about one club difference in loft pretty much across the board. Now I’m wondering if the stronger loft and longer length is the reason I was starting to have trouble hitting the five iron. Okay, now I can just keep enjoying the solid feel of my 1irons (I was going to anyway).
