What is the e-address for the "FGI" Tedd speaks
about?
I've made serveral same length iron sets.
Will give some comment if I see an opening.

Subject: Re: ShopTalk: Single length
irons
This summer I tried a set with 1/4" increments instead of
1/2". I MOI-weighted them using GS heads that allowed a lot of weight
adjustment. They were easier to strike consistently IMO, but I
was way too soft on the shafts (DGL R300), so the short irons went
ridiculously high and short. I have not given up on the concept, I
think it has merit. But I need to reshaft to try it again. And I
don't plan to, because I hated the feel of the heads. They were huge,
about the biggest heads I ever saw, and had no feel at
all.

All,
There has been a pretty good discussion going on at FGI about
single length irons, and I am starting to think this might be a really
good idea for mid-high handicap golfers. The positives are many for
a single length set of clubs: same swing plane for all irons, single
frequency for all clubs (no slope considerations), exact MOI and
swingweight match for all clubs, same total weight for all clubs, one ball
position for all irons, larger head on the lower lofted irons (i.e. 3-5
irons), etc... Dave T. has done the math comparing single length
iron distances vs. traditional irons, and there really is a minimal affect
on distance by going to single length (at say 37"). Tim Hewitt at
Myostrichgolf is planing to offer component iron heads that will all have
the same size, weight,and lie for all the irons, allowing clubmakers to
easily build single length iron sets. Can anyone think of why this
concept should not work, other than the fact that no OEM will do it, and
thus no pros will play clubs at single length?
