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 for two reasons: Firstly, longer shafts in the shorter irons increased swing speed, causing them to fly too far and launch too high. Secondly, shorter shafts in the longer irons reduced swing speed, causing them to fly too short and launch too low. And with that, the one-length iron idea disappeared from mainstream golf for nearly 30 years — until along came 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 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. The result? Multiple major wins and proof one length irons could work at the highest level. Since then there has 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 also gained a unique advantage, generating extra speed with shorter irons from 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. So far, one-length irons haven’t replaced traditional irons — and they probably never will. They offer simplicity and consistency, but variable-length irons still win on distance control and versatility. Let us know if you’d ever try one length irons!
