Reviewing the PinHawk Single Length Irons

[@rossduff7957]

I have a set of Pinhawks from 5 to lob wedge. I wouldn't trade them for anything!! I get doo distance, good control, and they are so comfortable to use. You really feel when you hit the sweet spot!!

[@diabloflaco7003]

I have played my Pinhawks for over a year (4-LW). Very happy with them. Consistency is great. It let's me focus on the swing and performance. No questioning if it was the different length between clubs causing problems. Because of this, I have upgraded the shafts to fit my style even better. The finish of the faces have held up well with weekly play.

[@SimplifyYourSwing]

That’s awesome! Great to hear when someone has been able to improve by switching to single lengths. I enjoyed the PinHawks and think they’re a great option for anyone wanting to play single length irons.

[@obxarms7685]

The Pinhawks are well made and offer a wide range of customizable options including LH sets. To me they are the Maltby of single length Irons sets.

[@luisdeleon39]

Made my own 1 length set out of the Bombtech 3.0s iron and wedge set. I didn't change the lie on them but the seem to be working

[@rossduff7957]

I should also mention that I was fitted for these clubs. I did not just buy them off the shelf! I have a degree offset, a 2-degree lie, and lightweight carbon shafts with slightly oversized grips. I am in my 70's!! I need all the help I can get!! LOL, I also found I need to deloft the irons to ensure I trap the ball and hit the sweet spot but I did that with my old regular irons anyway so it was not a big adjustment. I do deloft more with these SL irons, though. My yardage is as good as I can expect with a 95 MPH swing speed!! I used to have a 110 MPH swing speed but those days are behind me!! My 5 iron is good for 170 plus yards. Not bad for an old man!! I love these Pinhawk SL's. I would recommend them to anyone from pro to an amateur just starting out!

[@SimplifyYourSwing]

Awesome to hear Ross. I definitely recommend them as well. Get used to a few flight differences, which happens with new irons anyway, and they are a great option.

[@metalheads-golf]

Nice. I'm beginning golfer and tend to go again for the sl of Pinhawk but have the lie 1 or even 2 degrees more upright. 🤘🏻😎🤘🏻

[@Sluggo67]

Glad I found your review of single length Pinhawks. I just purchased a set of these clubs and can hardly wait till the courses open up.😎

[@SimplifyYourSwing]

Congrats! Good luck and if you have any questions with them or the concept, feel free to reach out. I’ll be glad to help

[@Paul-viking]

I tried the Pinhawk fairway woods 3, 5 & 7 and could not hit them like my regular length fairway woods. This has made me reluctant to try their irons.

[@SimplifyYourSwing]

There’s always a mental adjustment when you go to single length woods or irons. It’s hard to force your body into changing a ball position you’ve been accustomed to for years and years. With practice, it gets easier and more comfortable. In the end, you become more consistent than traditional length. But if you don’t clear the mental hurdle, it will be hard to get the results you desire.

[@user-do1fq8oy9c]

I am considering one lengthing a set of Taylormade Stealth HDs. I just don't know which length to do em in? 5'10" 35.5" to wrist

[@SimplifyYourSwing]

There will be a lot of engineering to do that. I’d start by recommending finding your most confident club you hit and make them that length. Then you’re going to need to make sure all the club weights match and start working on lie angles. It will be a challenge, but I’d love to hear how it works out!

[@johntraylor1522]

So, I'm thinkin of making the move and of course, Cobra gets a lot of media time. You've played the Cobra and the latest iteration is the SpeedZone or RadSpeed. Between your Cobra's and these Pinkhawks, which ones would you recommend to a 68 year-old 18 handicapper. I'm pretty slender and athletic with a swing in the upper 80's - lower 90's. This will be my first go with single length but I cut my current 5 and 6 irons to my 7-iron length and i like it. What is your rec. for me? thx.

[@steveditzler6014]

I was interested in one length irons. Thanks for the info.

[@SimplifyYourSwing]

My pleasure. If you have any other questions, please let me know.

[@expomm]

How is the distance difference from traditional Iron 4 vs it’s equivalent in the single length?

[@SimplifyYourSwing]

I won’t lie and say it was exactly the same right away. There was a mental adjustment that took some time. But once I was dialed into the single length system and concept, I got near identical distances and in fact, maybe a little more from the single lengths because you find the center of the face much more often.

[@expomm]

Single Length School Thanks for your honest feedback. Cheers

[@SimplifyYourSwing]

My pleasure

[@Big-Crow]

What’s with the grooves?

[@metalheads-golf]

The grooves from new are not deep. I have already my second set of Pinhawk SL set but woulove more grabbing grooves. I've got quite a few vids on Pinhawk and am a true believer in the SL concept. If you can survive the music on my golf channel. 😂🤘🏻😎🤘🏻

[@blackceeser]

loved the video but you didn't answer my last question. what 1 lenth clubs are most forgiving? I'm looking into purchasing a set.

[@SimplifyYourSwing]

I replied on the other comments for you. You’re looking for a cavity back, something like these PinHawks or cobra speed zone or F9 are your best bets

[@blackceeser]

@@SimplifyYourSwing thank you sir. love your content. i almost spent $400 on forged 1 length

[@SimplifyYourSwing]

Look for a cavity back in your situation. They will give you more forgiveness. And thank you for the kind words. Appreciate having you following.

[@hpurey]

I originally started with the Cobra F7's and fell in love with the one length idea. Then Cobra made the F8's that worked out a few bugs with the F7's (long irons flying too low, short irons flying too high) absolutely love the F8's but being a club Ho, I will definitely be looking for the new ones next season. Usually can find them in great condition for a good price from someone who tried them but gave up right away.

[@SimplifyYourSwing]

I had the same issue with my F7s and found a small workaround. Did me well for the few years I had them. When I got the forged blacks, trajectories were much better and you could tell a few things were improved on.

[@wesleykinder391]

I have a set of cobra irons from 2012 the amp cell irons. Have the these irons gotten better? Do they have a hotter face? Would you consider changing to these clubs if in my position?

[@SimplifyYourSwing]

You’re looking at 11 years of technology changes. Irons have gotten significantly better. I would definitely look at upgrading. My policy is every 4-5 years for irons, 2-3 years on drivers and woods.

[@No_Fear_33]

Please try or add the Pinhawk single length hybrids, i have a whole set in my cart but it seems like a huge risk without knowing anything about them. Thanks!

[@SimplifyYourSwing]

Unfortunately I don’t have those at my disposal at this point, and not sure when I’ll be able to get them. However, here’s what I can tell you from my experience, and is what you typically find. Hybrids tend to be easier to hit overall, but when you’re talking single lengths, it’s more about the flight. The hybrids fly higher and land softer than the same irons, while keeping the same distance. Also, I’ve noticed with some students that when making the change, they typically tend to do better with the hybrids because they don’t try to kill a 4 or 5 iron. PinHawk makes quality equipment, and I believe the hybrids would be a good choice.

[@No_Fear_33]

@@SimplifyYourSwing thanks for the reply. I'm currently using an old set of Callaway I-brid all hybrid 10 piece set but im tired of variable for the past 6 years and all the toe and heal hits and inconsistent swing rates. I test drove the speezone 1length and it rattled and felt low forgiving. This pinhawk might be my holy grail but its a 650 usd risk. Desperate to see someone hit them.

[@SimplifyYourSwing]

Sorry...I’ll add them to my list and see if there’s a way to get my hands on them...you can always shoot them an email and ask if anyone has a video on them. If not, tell them you saw my PinHawk reviews and you would like to see me give them a run, lol.

[@per_growth]

would be interesting to get your inputs (if any) on Edel SL irons. They are quite pricey at 245/club - but how much better are they (if they are) vs Sterlings or Pinhawk or Cobras.

[@SimplifyYourSwing]

They look impressive. And perhaps an unknown fact for some...Edel worked and had a hand in Bryson’s sets in college before Cobra snapped him up and jumped into the one length world. As far as testing, I’ve not had my hands on them, though I have requested in the past but never heard back. He’s someone I’d like to get on the channel anyway, so I’m hoping I can learn and connect more with them (and a few others) here soon.

[@milanboskovic9618]

Will you try and test new Wishon's irons?

[@SimplifyYourSwing]

Milan Boskovic Id love to. I’ve reached out and asked but never heard back. Only way I’d be able to get them is to buy them, and unfortunately it’s not in the budget. I’m open to taking donations to make it happen, lol, or if enough people sent them an email, he might get me some!

[@milanboskovic9618]

@@SimplifyYourSwing LOL! I could use some donations too... Those aren't gonna be cheap.

[@kourt2469]

Theres a review of the eq1-nx irons if you search for youtube channel "my golf affair"

[@IIISWILIII]

Does it make sense to go 1 length if you only play 7-SW irons?

[@SimplifyYourSwing]

Absolutely! The more consistent you can setup and swing in your bag, the easier the game can be!

[@2Eaglez]

What’s you take on the new Pinhawk Vertex Dual Length clubs?

[@SimplifyYourSwing]

I think it’s an interesting concept. Many guys reach out to me and struggle with the longer irons when transitioning to single length. This set could be the solution. You may want to keep an eye on the channel over the next few weeks...just sayin.

[@2Eaglez]

Single Length School Would love to get your reaction, I bought 8 9. and PW to try them out. They are permanently in the garage. Liked the concept but the irons had no feel.

[@SimplifyYourSwing]

I’ll see what I can do for you...lol. Even if I did have a set to try I won’t say anything on my thoughts until I would give them a good week+ of testing and the review came out 😉

[@metalheads-golf]

When the Vertex came out I was disappointed as it felt to me as a departure and sell out to the principle of one length. I play the SL of Pinhawk and would look forward to an follow up iteration in that evolution. 🤘🏻😎🤘🏻

[@chrisjuhl801]

Any plans to review the Pinhawk woods?

[@SimplifyYourSwing]

I’d like to, and I think I’ll be able to get some from those guys. But I want to do it right like I did with the irons and I’m pretty much out of season here now. I’ve got days here and there but not ideal for club reviews.

[@jadamane]

We want too know which brand you like better and why vs your cobra OL

[@SimplifyYourSwing]

So I’ve had a few sets I’ve been able to test and compare. One company is no longer in business. I really did enjoy the PinHawks and they reminded me of the feel and look of some of the earlier Cobra OL sets. I would actually prefer the PinHawks over the Cobra F7 and F8. But I still like the look and feel of my Forged Tec Blacks as my current gamers. I’m hoping to get my hands on some additional sets to test in the next few months.

[@jadamane]

@@SimplifyYourSwing I had all those sets even the 2020 and the pin hawks was my first set of one length I loved the 2018 tecs due too the buttery soft feel but they were inconsistent at times the forged Tex 2020 are ok but the 2018 were better too me ... I think I’m going back too the f9’s because with the right shaft they are beast only con is the offset I wish they had the same offset as the 2018 tecs (the f9’s)

[@SimplifyYourSwing]

@@jadamane I love the feel off the forget Tec black vs the Pinhawk. It’s got that buttery feel to it. As more and more options become available, it’s going to be like the current options for variable length. You’ll have to test and find the set that feels best for you. The problem is, there’s just no mainstream store that offers that option at this point.

[@jadamane]

@@SimplifyYourSwing right I’ve tested a lot of clubs I currently game pxg xf gen 2... they are great clubs but I like the one length concept overall so I’m debating if I should go back too OL... and if I do it will be cobra but f9’s I’m a big cobra fan ... I think they have the best clubs is my beliefs . For some reason ranching off too other brands I’m always going back too cobra ... the 2018 black are the best irons when it comes too low and mid handicap I’m a high handicap I shoot in the low 90’s and using the cobra low handicap irons they still fit me well as in on course golf testing. The f9’s where so fun too use ,unfortunately I broke one of my shafts when using so I bought another brand next time around ... I’m def going back too cobra just hard too decide do I want the feel? Or do I want the straight shooters which the f9’s provide... I like clubs that don’t produce a lot of workability ... I know how too shoot a fade or a draw but I like seeing straight flight and on mis swings I don’t want a drastic sudden fade or draw . I realized with the f9 on miss swing they tried hard too not fade or draw it was like shooting straight all the time or slight push or pull..., i like that concept of the deep cavity back they provide so I just may go back too them f9’s with a nice graphite shaft. A lot of people dismiss the 2018 and say they are too heavy but that’s because the stock shaft amt is on the heavy side . They are for strong swingers ,if you not strong you will dismiss them. They should place a shaft that fits them in the forged Tec and they will love them especially if they like the workability side ... I only Ben playing for three years and I played many clubs check my page out on ig the reallionWoods I got much content

[@SimplifyYourSwing]

@@jadamane sounds like you’ve put a lot of thought into, which is a good thing. At the end, if you’re not comfortable, you’re going to struggle. So I think it sounds like you know which way you’re heading. Let me know if you have any other questions or need some help. I’ll check out the IG.

[@jeffreidenbaughs9707]

Are these the same as 1 inZone clubs ?

[@SimplifyYourSwing]

They are not. In1Zone is from a different company all together.

[@jeffreidenbaughs9707]

Do you know anything about them, I found them on the web from Single Length Golf which also sells the PinHawk which are currently sold out. They do offer choice of shafts and grips, any help would be greatly appreciated....

[@SimplifyYourSwing]

@@jeffreidenbaughs9707 I’ve seen them and checked specs, but no been able to test. The head specs all check the boxes for what I would want/recommend. The shafts are really important in the single length sets. But if you’re going through singlelength.com, he knows what he’s doing. So if it’s offered there, he believes in it.

[@dtlocke]

Very happy with my Pinhawks. But contrary to what you said, I don’t think you can customize lie (or else I would have). There’s no place to do that when ordering at least.

[@SimplifyYourSwing]

Depends on where you order. Some sites selling them will bend the lie. But glad to hear you’re enjoying them. Good luck!

[@dtlocke]

Oh, cool. Which sites will bend them?

[@dtlocke]

btw, if anyone is curious, I wanted to get mine up to 72 degree lie, which Bryson has. Took one club in to see how it would go. Broke at 68 degrees. Got the head replaced for $12. Bought my own bending machine, heated the heads up glowing hot with on oxy-acetolyne torch, and bent them to 72 degrees. They’re not pretty, but damn they hit straight!

[@SimplifyYourSwing]

@@dtlocke direct from Value Golf, they are the designer/manufacturer of the clubs. They can bend them.

If you live in OZ or NZ and want a cheaper set of one length irons, take a look at www.milfordgolf.com.au. I have their SL-7 clubs from 6 ( 29 degrees) to LW with graphite shafts. I have owned Cobra F7 and F9 SL sets but found the SL-7 more accurate . I still use Cobra SL hybrids ( 25, 22,19 degrees) mainly because my swing speed isn't high enough to get proper gapping wth the SL irons below 26 degrees loft.

[@SimplifyYourSwing]

Kim, I’d love to give these a test and give him a review...just not sure if he’d be interested.

[@kymstock1852]

@@SimplifyYourSwing I think exporting to USA/ overseas would mean they would cost the same or more than the Pin Hawk. Fred runs Milford like a cottage industry/ retirement interest for himself. Still, for players Down Under and our Bros over the ditch, these are a good, cost effective way of trying the single length concept.
