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.

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?
