Are one length irons the future of golf? ⛳️ Or is there a reason golf clubs have different lengths? The first one length irons were released by Tommy Armour in 1989. Each club was the same length as a 7 iron and they aimed to simplify the golf swing by keeping it consistent across all clubs. But at the time, they didn’t take off. Golfers struggled primarily with distance gapping and trajectory.  Shorter irons went too far and launched too high due to the relatively longer shafts creating higher swing speeds. On the other hand, long irons flew shorter and lower because of the relatively shorter shafts creating slower speeds. The one length iron idea left mainstream golf for the next 27 years until along came a mad scientist PGA Tour golfer by the name of Bryson Dechambeau. Bryson saw the potential of one length irons to enhance his consistency. After all, it makes sense to have irons the same length if you want to make the same swing every time. So Bryson collaborated with Cobra golf to bring out the Cobra one-length irons in 2016. The difference this time around was that these irons benefited from modern club-fitting technology. Weight had been moved around the head to solve the launch problem, and lofts were adjusted to give consistent distance gaps between each club. There’s been a growing niche market for one length irons, but should you make the move? Many golfers appreciate having the same setup and posture for every iron, and the single shaft length helps with ball striking and consistency. Bryson’s US open wins proved that one-length irons can work at the highest level, and he also benefited from the speed he could generate with short irons out of the rough. However, even with the weight adjustments, launch and distance might still be off compared to traditional irons, and many golfers dislike chipping with a 7 iron length wedge. Switching to one length irons can also be difficult to adjust to, and you’ll have limited options aside from the cobra brand. Ultimately, single length irons haven't replaced traditional irons and most likely never will. While single length irons offer a consistent swing, variable length irons remain preferred for their optimized distance and control.
