I was working for Wilson as a production engineer and actually built these clubs. We made 5 of them at our plant in Tullahoma, Tn. I sent 4 to the headquarters in Chicago where John picked out one to play. I STILL HAVE THE ONE I KEPT. NO IT IS NOT FOR SALE. It is a very playable club and I have hit it a few times. It is now put away and is a great story for me.

I once played 9 holes with a guy who only had 3 clubs. He had a zero iron, 9 iron, and a putter. I was a 10 handicap at the time and long story short he beat me by 3 strokes. It was a crazy day to say the least.

My brother in law played on the Nike for a few tourneys before joining the Marines (and played for the Marines) and he carried a custom Merit 1 iron. That thing was like hitting a boulder with a hockey stick. He could shape it out to about 260. It was madness.

Long irons especially off the tee are severely underrated. I love my 2 iron off the tee which I get about 220 to 245 yards. I am sad to say not really much far behind my playing partners using their drivers.

[@Gl-my8fw]

Yeah I have a Mizuno hitogami 1 iron in my set just because it was sitting with old used stuff in a bin and I snagged it for like $20

[@verbatim22222]

[@bjornbergen8900]

Learning to play golf in the late 60s then high school golf late 70s one irons were quite common, I carried one for years my dad called it the stroke saver, for when you driver went bad. In highschool and college it was always in my bag. My favorite club was my ping 2 wood. When lynx made the black cat the one got replaced with a 2 iron.

[@njc964]

That bunker shot! With a zero iron!!!

[@coltallgood4764]

Never sleep on the caddie, odds are they're the best stick in the group.

The caddie even mimicked john Daly’s swing 👏😳

[@Ben77788]

I carry a 2 iron...but it looks nothing like that 😂. I remember trying to hit a Cobra 1 iron back in the day. It was the smallest head I had ever seen. I tried hitting it a couple times...the vibration was unreal...it stung like crazy.

[@mbontekoe3358]

I actually purchased a 0 iron in Japan in the early 90's it was made by an unknown (to us in the west) Japanese company. but it was little advantage to the 1 iron I carried

[@jonlanier_]

25-30 years ago I carried a 1 iron for specific courses that were more narrow. At that time my driver club head speed was 128, so one iron off the tee was not as difficult as for others. I could get it out there about 250 and straight. I couldn't hit it off the deck for anything.

[@bizfix11]

I was at TPC Avenel for the Kemper Open and followed JD all day when he debuted the Zero

[@thetowndrunk988]

He used this, along with his driver, to make the 630 yard par 5 17th at Baltustrol in 2.

[@euan1234]

not quite - the Staff RM irons only came out in 1995, and the 0 was developed from there. He was still hitting a 1-iron (Wilson Staff Ultra 45) back in '93

[@thetowndrunk988]

@@euan1234 According to a Golf Digest article I have from back in 05’ (when they were covering the upcoming PGA Championship), he used a 0 iron. The writer even said “(yes, a 0 iron)”. Whether that information was correct or not, I cannot say, but I can certainly say that’s what was written in the article. It’s the only reason I’d ever even heard of a 0 iron.

[@euan1234]

@@thetowndrunk988 - yes, for sure. I also saw something saying it was a 0-iron as well, when I was double-checking. But I'm pretty sure I'm good with saying it was a 1, as the actual irons from the 1993 tournament was auctioned a few years back. I tried to link it but I don't think youtube allowed it. Entire set of irons sold for only $500 at the time, but more importantly it was a 1-iron in the set. I think the 0 came out in 1995, after he had won the Open at St Andrews. We are discussing such a small detail, but it was just because I was a huge fan of Daly around this period, and I remember the notoriety of the 0-iron (I am left-handed so it was unavailable to me!)

[@juancarloskalfaian2977]

I used a lot of time a mizuno mp 33 2 iron, i used that iron when the day is windy, and is a great iron

[@whistlingrock3157]

Ya I used to have a “Driving Iron “ also. But it was before John Daily

[@AndrewNeilBaird]

In 1998 my T-Zoid pro mizuno 1 iron was 15degrees, almost no spin (except side spin 😆) but into a strong wind it would go about 2/3 in the air 1/3 along the ground and down wind it was 50/50 so al long as you knew where the line to land the ball was , it was good of the tee , but compared to my 17 deg PXG 0311 hybrid i use now for the same stuff all these years later , mehh .

[@showcasecharlie11]

A 2 iron sat in my bag for a long time when I was younger. Would be a preferred club when trying to reach longer par 5s in two.

[@buildthings]

I still carry and play my tommy driving iron. I tee off with either that or my 2i. I don’t carry any woods. haven’t replaced my dci’s because no one make long irons anymore

[@DanielSong39]

[@chubeviewer]

I have an adjustable I can set to 0 degree needless to say it impossible to get off the ground but you can get like 100 yards carry due to the spin and if you hit it well

[@ninjaswordtothehead]

You all should take me golfing. I promise you'll laugh harder than ever before. Seriously, it's that bad. My handicap is just a picture of a wheelchair at this point.

[@justintodopestuff6720]

I ended up here because I just bought a Tommy Armour 845 HEATER 14 degree 1 iron. There are some coursers here in Utah that I’d much rather have an iron in my hand than a 3 wood. Plus me and my 3 wood aren’t seeing eye to eye at the moment 😂 I’ve never even heard of them, so I’m stoked that I found one in perfect condition. Wilson, rerelease the 0 for us long iron lovers. Thanks 🤝🏼

[@slappy0077]

it's called a "driving" iron for a reason obviously, but most golfers don't need it for accuracy, rather due to the fact that average players (Daly included) couldn't turn a driver over right-to-left not only from a lack of loft but also the pulling motion they use to keep the face open at impact to get the driver off the ground. 12 degrees is more than enough.

On one of the few occasions Daly visited my country, I took the opportunity to watch him play; I really wanted to see him rip his driver. But he'd just started his 'play irons-only' period, so that's what he did, I was very disappointed. He was paired with Norman and Woosnam, and was only just behind their drives with this zero iron.
