The Idea behind Single Length Clubs
Every iron in the set has shaft which is the same length. That length will usually be that of a 7-iron.
So the theory is that you can use your 7-iron swing and set-up with every iron (and hybrid and wedge) in the bag.
This means you essentially have the same one plane for all of your iron swings helping you make your technique more consistent and repeatable.
That makes a lot of sense right? Why change your swing depending on which iron you are using? It should help add more consistency to your iron play.
Elevate 95 is a lightweight, high launching and spinning shaft that is designed to combat the “low spin” industry trend by increasing initial launch/spin to maximize carry distances and creating optimal land angles to hold more green. Elevate 95 features the proprietary VSS technology to reduce 71% of unwanted shaft vibrations—producing the softest feel in golf.

Bryson DeChambeau’s 3 tips to hitting single-length irons
1. Adjust your ball position
If you’ve looked into one-length irons, you’ve probably heard that the higher-lofted clubs go higher than their variable-length equivalents, and the lower-lofted clubs go lower. It’s a product of having variable lofts in shafts that are all the same length. Because of that uniformity in the length, though, many people tend to play the ball position in the same spot throughout the bag. But if you’re struggling to get those lower-lofted irons up in the air, don’t be afraid to tinker with your ball position.
“I player my lower-lofted irons slightly higher-up in my stance,” Bryson says. “Not as much as variable-length, but a little further up can help golfers adapt to the lower-lofted irons.”
2. Embrace the versatility
When your wedges are the length of a six or seven iron, a natural question arises: Do they feel awkward when you’re chipping or pitching around the green? It’s an adjustment (more on that later), but Bryson says that because the higher-lofted irons go higher and are longer than a standard set, you can manipulate the club in more ways.
“You’ll find that one-length irons are far more versatile around the greens,” Bryson says. “You can vary the trajectory more, your distance control will improve because you can choke down more if you want…you have more options of playing different clubs around the green.”
3. Accept the learning curve
Finally, there’s no getting around it: When you’ve grown up your entire life swinging variable-length irons, as most golfers have, single-length irons will be an adjustment. The shorter longer irons may look unusual on the eye; you may not be used to choking-down so much on your wedges around the green; the gapping between irons may be tighter than you’re used to. That’s all normal, and it’s something you’ll get used to in time.
“They’re going to love the game more because it makes it easier,” Bryson says, “but there’s an adjustment period.”
