Yes. But SL irons still simplify things. Instead of hitting a 7 iron 2 or 3 times a round, you are hitting it 18 times. -Don

Is’nt it a greater difference than with “normal” clubs? cheers from Germany Thomas Brandner Am 26.10.2016 um 14:58 schrieb Don M <d...@mcluckie.net>: I play a set. Part of human psychology is that we are affected more strongly by bad things than good things.The bad things about a single length set are easier to notice, especially in the beginning. Whether that is that the wedges feel less controllable, or the 5 iron doesn't fly as high. The good things are harder to notice, and more subtle. They boil down to the fact that by playing one club over and over, you get very familiar with it. Want to knock it down? You position the ball and your hands the same way for the shot whether it's a PW or 5 iron. Etc. Oh, and forget about being locked into one ball position. You will have one posture. But ball position is up to you, if you are good enough to play the ball back or forward as needed. The good things outweigh the bad, IMO. -Don From: Roy Nix (AGCP) <r...@agcpgolf.com> To: ShopTalk@mail.msen.com Sent: Wednesday, October 26, 2016 5:52 AM Subject: Re: ShopTalk: Single length irons I have sold many sets of both Wishon Sterlings and Pinhawk irons. All golfers seem to find them more consistent and more accurate including me. They do take some adjustments and some adapt faster than others. I was once a plus handicap with a great wedge game and I am having trouble adapting to longer wedges. Not impossible but different for sure. There is a difference not so much in distance but in technique. It is easy enough to adjust to different yardages but not so easy to adjust to a different swing that is needed. Some players have different results than others. It seems that hitters adjust faster than sweepers. It seems in my experience that the golfers who have the most trouble adapting are the golfers who play irons forward and pick it clean off the turf with little divot. White the golfers who hit down and through the ball already seem to have fewer problems adjusting. I do not have any data to back this up all information is based on player comments and my person experiences with Wishon Sterlings. The comment I get most often is "they always go where you aim them". Followed by "even when I'm not hitting them good I seem to score better". Other comments are: more greens hit, and closer to the hole, more birdies and lower scores even though they are saying they can't quite get used to them totally. Pitching and chipping are different with the longer short irons. Chipping with lower loft clubs pretty easy adjustment but pitching from 10 - 20 yards off the green with the longer clubs takes some getting used to. Results are OK but getting used to the feel of the longer club makes it seem worse than it really is. Just one man's experiences, hope it helps. Most of this is my experience and the experience of the friend I play with once or twice a week as well as comments from others who bought them.
