If you're drinking that Twinkie Coffee over that Cuban coffee you made in that thread then you need to reverse course.

I think for most of those wondering about swinging them and feeling weird, after about 2 rounds you don't even notice anymore. I think it's way overblown. I will say I went 8 iron length with mine and stopped at PW but I have had zero issue feeling like the PW is crazy long or the 6i is crazy short. I pull an iron just like always and hit the ball

Same. 8i length here. I have no problem using SW for chips around the green at that length either.
 
I’ve got a 24 deg head that needs a home. Going to try to build it up to 7 iron length. I know this won’t be a full test given the head isn’t optimized for it, but I like building and I’m curious about the whole thing so figured why not?

I assume you mean hybrid head?

What length do people normally get.
I on a whim ordered sw-5i + 3 hybrid one length cobra darkspeeds at standard and that's my sets current 6 iron length...I see it's what Bryson plays though...how do people feel about it?

I have found that 8i length in irons works for me, which seems to be my best iron in variable length sets. I do use tip weights to get the swingweight back similar to what a 7i length would be. With the OL hybrids I've found that 8i length is just a little too short so I play those at the stock 7i length.

I hope the 37.5 length works out for me because I don't feel like going through the work of changing it all haha

What's your favorite iron now?
 
I prefer 8i length as well. I’m sure I could do 7i length but I like having them just a bit shorter

My thinking was I would rather try and get use to it and still keep speed on my "long" irons

Yeah. As long as they are weighted properly there is no issue playing a length that you’re comfortable with
 
Seriously pondering a one length 2H or 3H for this season. I hit my 4H just fine but I just cannot hit my 3H right now. I’m a little unsure about distance if I put a one length in play, but figure it’s got to be better then being unable to make any real contact, and there are always two or three spots where I need something just a bit longer then a 4H.
 
For the longer irons, have folks seen a noticeable impact on left to to right dispersion?

I haven’t noticed anything different than with VL irons

Thanks. Curious about a utility for a tee club in the short, tight par 4s I play around here

Did you go away from driver 2 or were you thinking something for shorter distances?

Shorter distances, but the Paradym X has been so good for me this past fall that driver 2 hasn’t gotten the call recently

Only thing I noticed was less spin, lower apex and more rollout...but that might just be me getting use to them.

It's more likely down to a shorter shaft length and as such slower swing speed.

You have to have decent speed to get the necessary height with the lower lofted irons.
