Golf clubs have evolved significantly in recent years, and the One Length Iron has been gaining attention due to the success of Bryson DeChambeau and other players.

It's a bold concept to stabilize iron shots by standardizing all clubs to the same length and weight, but many people are unsure whether it will really suit them .

In this article, we will summarize the advantages and disadvantages of One Length Irons and explain who One Length Irons are suitable for and who they are not suitable for.

1. Benefits of One Length Irons

(1) You can hit the ball with the same address and swing every time.

With conventional irons, each club has a different length and weight, which means you have to change your stance and ball position.However, with One Length Irons, all clubs are the same length and weight, so a major advantage is that you can always use the same address and swing to hit the ball.

As a result, your swing will be more repeatable and you will be more likely to make fewer missed shots.

Also, there is no need to change your swing for each club, and practicing with one club will improve your skills with the other clubs as well, increasing practice efficiency and making it easier to master stable iron shots in a short amount of time.

(2) Reduce the feeling of being uncomfortable with middle and long irons

The reality is that as the number of long irons increases, the shafts become longer, making it difficult for many golfers to hit the ball.

However, with One Length Irons, the long irons maintain the same length and weight as the short irons, so there is no need to significantly change your address or feel when hitting the ball even if you change the club number.

This has the great advantage of helping to dispel the preconceived notion that long irons are difficult clubs, and making it easier to improve distance and directional accuracy.

2. Three common disadvantages of ONE LENGTH irons

(1) The distance difference between clubs tends to be lost

Because all clubs are designed to be the same length and weight, the difference in distance between long irons and short irons can become too small, or conversely, they can fly too far.

For example, it is difficult to create a "distance staircase" where number 4 and number 5 are roughly the same distance.

This can be a major drawback for golfers who place importance on hitting the ball at precise distances for each club.

(2) Long irons don't provide enough distance

One of the problems with this design is that all clubs are the same length, so the shafts of the long irons are shorter than expected, which means that they do not generate enough centrifugal force, making it difficult to get distance.

Furthermore, the steep loft angle makes it difficult to get the ball up in the air, which disrupts the iron's inherent "distance progression" and puts the long iron at risk of not functioning as expected.

(3) Short irons fly too far and control is lost

In many cases, the length of a 7 or 8 iron is used as the standard, so pitching wedges and 9 irons end up being longer.

As a result, the distance of the short irons ends up being longer than expected, making it difficult to hit the ball as intended in many cases.

Furthermore, one of the disadvantages is that using a longer-than-normal short iron can make it difficult to set up and cause an uncomfortable swing feel, which can impair delicate control.

3. How do NOOG's One Length irons eliminate the disadvantages?

NOOG has developed a unique design that minimizes the disadvantages inherent to One Length irons and maximizes their advantages.

In addition, we will also introduce solutions to the disadvantages of One Length irons.

(1) Measures to address the problem of distance differences between clubs becoming less consistent

While typical one-length irons often have fixed loft settings in 4-degree increments, NOOG has fine-tuned the loft angle for each club to create a tier of distances .

Specifically, the loft angle for the 7 iron to PW is increased in 5-degree increments , Designed to minimize the possibility of excessive centrifugal force causing the ball to fly too far.

Conversely, number 4 The loft angle of the irons through 7 irons gets smaller and steeper, so we heard feedback that if the loft angle difference is too large, the club looks different when you set up and it becomes difficult to hit. Based on this feedback, we kept the loft angle difference to 2 to 3 degrees to avoid making it difficult to hit, and by fine-tuning the balance of the head we were able to create an appropriate range of distance for each club.

This ensures an appropriate difference in distance between long irons and short irons, accurately creating a range of distances with the irons and improving the ability to hit different shots.

(2) Solutions for those who can't get distance with long irons

As mentioned above, NOOG irons have fine-tuned loft angles and head balance to allow you to hit the ball at appropriate distances even with long irons.

If you are still having trouble hitting the ball with your long irons, one option is to think of them as a club that hits with a lower trajectory.

For example, the 4-iron has a steeper loft, making it effective for hitting low shots in headwind situations. If you don't try to force a difference in distance with the 5-iron and use it as a club that is less affected by the wind, even a long iron can contribute to your score.

Also, a low trajectory bullet that avoids hitting the branches and leaves used when escaping from the forest. It is also recommended for those aiming for stinger shots .

(3) Solutions for those who find their short irons too far and difficult to control

If your short irons fly further than you expect, you can adjust the distance by holding the grip one finger shorter or slowing down your swing speed a little , although this may go against the original purpose of one-length irons.

This method will help you reduce excess distance and make it easier to regain the original control performance of your short irons.

4. Who is the One Length Iron suitable for and who is it not for?

Based on the advantages and disadvantages of One Length Irons explained above, we can summarize who One Length Irons are suitable for and who they are not suitable for.

[Suitable for the following people]

• I want to simplify and unify the address and swing that differ for each club.
  
• I have a strong weakness for long irons and want to swing with the same feeling as a short iron.
  
• I want to improve my score in a short period of time by making practice more efficient.

It is especially recommended for people who are not good at using middle or long irons , or for people who are too busy to find time to practice .

Since you can swing long irons in conjunction with easier club numbers such as 7-8 irons, it is easy to overcome your fear of long irons.

Furthermore, once you have mastered one club, you will be able to hit all the other clubs consistently, and you will only need to practice with that one club, which will also make the practice more efficient , making it suitable for people who are busy and don't have time to practice.

[Not suitable for these people]

• Those who are already familiar with mid- and long-irons and can easily create conventional distance progression between clubs.

Those who have no problem with mid- and long-irons with conventional clubs and have already established a consistent distance advantage may feel uncomfortable with the One Length irons, which all have the same length and weight.

5. Summary

One Length Irons have:

• Long irons are hard to fly
• Short irons fly too far
• Distance difference between clubs is easily lost

It is true that there are some disadvantages such as:

However, by setting the standard club number as an 8-iron, as NOOG does , and fine-tuning the loft and head design, these issues can be greatly alleviated.

Furthermore, the benefits unique to one-length irons, such as ease of setup, increased practice efficiency through a consistent swing, and reduced discomfort with long irons, are extremely appealing to golfers who want to improve their iron shot consistency and score.

It's worth carefully considering whether it will suit you based on your playing style, head speed, practice style, etc.
