There's no chance someone makes the switch to One Length.
Today on the Golf Unfiltered podcast, Adam and I debate the pros and cons of using One Length. Adam is firmly against playing them, JB is not. We discuss the history of the One Length iron, the technology behind it and then decide kind of spur of the moment, that we are going to have a wager.
To have a wager, we are looking for a THPer that will document a One Length trial. We are going to give a set of KING F9 One Length irons away to a listener of the show this week. Entering is easy.

Listened to this, this morning. @golfunfiltered had some interesting takes, but I just can't agree with his thought that a better player will get more out of OL irons. I'm pretty firmly in the camp that going OL from the outset would be a huge benefit for a lot of beginner players. I think it would simplify the game a lot, especially for kids.
There is at least one company making dual length irons now.I like the idea of the challenge, but I couldn't do it. I had a go recently for 5 rounds in 5 days with some F8OL, and was OK in the 6-9i slots, but lower than that, I really struggled.
One quick note-- with OL you don't change how you hit the ball. It's actually the opposite, you take what you got and let it become as consistent and repeatable as possible. It's the same swing you used for your 7i, just with much more practice.Looking at this strictly in the abstract, OL looks like it should work. However, is it really possible to change a life-long way of hitting a golf ball in such a short period? I do NOT hit my long irons well at all. As a matter of fact, I just took OUT my 4i because I just can't hit it well enough, and I may take out my 5i. I know lessons is the real answer, but I am fascinated by the concept of OL. I would be MOST willing to try and see if OL may be the answer for me. I would also think that the one plane concept might also apply with this experiment! :twist:
I am confused why the lie angles would be different also. One length, one swing = one specific lie angle. I also wonder why more pros are not utilizing one length. My experience with them 2yrs ago was "okay" but the look of the irons did not thrill me at all. Nothing to write home about or be "proud" to share pictures with family and friends. hahaToday on the Golf Unfiltered podcast, Adam and I debate the pros and cons of using One Length.

I am confused why the lie angles would be different also. One length, one swing = one specific lie angle.
I tried the F7 when they first came out. Distances with 6 & 5 irons hard to judge as trajectory lower so ball might hit green & run through. When F8 came with a 5 hybrid I went to pgass to see about getting hybrid only. Fitter said there were enough design changes that I might want to upgrade. I ordered set. Turned out 5 iron had better distances than 5H. I ended up selling 5H, got 5 iron but after 2 seasons using OL Im back to conventional set.
