In the final portion of my fit with Avoda Golf, Tom Bailey took me though the “club length” process. This is where Avoda determines with which length and head weight is best for the player. So, will I be a Combo Length or One Length player… let’s find out.

ABOUT ME
I’m Andrew Jensen, a former full time touring professional that played on PGA TOUR Canada, Latinoamerica and almost every North American based mini tour from 2008-2020. I want to use my playing experience to inspire golfers to improve their own game and have more fun with this amazing game we play!

First! AJ – you've been grinding out a lot of product videos the past 6 months – excellent work!
Big fan of one length. Only play couple times a month in summer, definitely more consistent for me. 😊
These videos have been incredible, Tom has so much knowledge and hearing him go through it with you is awesome to hear. I am a big fan of my Avoda Combo length irons because of having issues with the 4-5 irons getting up and coming in like an iron should (I have previous experience with the Cobra One Lengths which were great but those medium and long irons are just not for me)
Love that you are going down this road, looking forward to more videos!
Very fascinating. I thoroughly enjoy the tech conversations of the cutting edge stuff. The 1 length clubs even in the combo, is the distance gap created purely by the loft changes? Are the loft gaps the same as is typical, ie 4*? How does it affect the swing weight? Very fascinating and intrigued.
Not sure Moe Norman ever did anything other than briefly experiment. His regular irons were variable length. Matt Dobyns played one length for a time, and has now switched to two lengths. He was involved in the Sterling brand of one length irons.
I am the one-length guy Tom mentions. High swing speed (~100 mph), spin, and height. Even I was hitting it a little low, so I bent my low irons a little weak. Even though I still hit the 4 iron low (~70 ft), I could not be happier overall now with great gapping and extremely consistent strike:
4 – 20*
5 – 24*
6 – 28*
7 – 32*
8 – 36*
9 – 40*
P – 45*
G – 50*
S – 55*
L – 60*
Obviously my 5 wood, 3 wood, driver are closer to regular length to achieve the ball speed, height, and carry I need. I think Tom’s idea is going to revolutionize golf fitting, truly
so interesting and would love to try these aka get fitted … hope they expand that fitting network to the NYC area .. the price is not bad for somthign so custom and well made compared to the big boys
I like one length for the bottom end of my bag. I have one length Cobra Hybrids from 6h-3h. 7i through wedges are standard. The OL hybrids instead of irons really help with the low ball flight that plagues low lofted OL irons.
It’s not perfect, but has really improved my game over the past year. Dropped from 22 to 15.5 handicap this past year
Yes, I enjoyed the video. Did you happen to ask about choking down on the club? Specifically, can you accomplish a similar effect just by chocking down to same length? I remember John Daly used to talk about that being helpful for players. Thanks!
Has anyone used the 'One Iron Golf' brand are they actually good? I see positive comments but no one really using them on youtube and the creator claims his new driver goes same if not further than the top end drivers but doesnt show on trackman (or equivalent)
Tell me the benefits of variable length shafts???
This all sounds soo good, i need to hear him talk about the wedges. Is that another video?
I went for the combo length my self with the KBS 95 TGI shafts and ultralight mediums. I live in Northern Canada so havent been able to take them out on the course yet but so far so good in the simulator.
I don’t use as many irons anymore at my age( 53 and 7 iron is the longest). I am definitely considering one length irons in the future as I get older so I don’t have to bend over as much!
I started with one length irons and used them for the last 4 years. Recently demoed some variable length and decided to go with that. I think it really helped me get comfortable with the game and I recommend them to new golfers all the time!
Bryson uses combo length now.
I swapped to one length about 2 years ago. After about a month they finally clicked. Dropped 10 strokes off my handicap. Same set up and swing.
Love listening to Tom… so intriguing. I’m fairly sure Avoda don’t do left handed irons 🥺 please correct me I if I am wrong
Had my Avoda combo length for a few months. Striking the ball more consistently than ever and scoring lower. Swing the 8i at about 88mph and the 4 at about 94mph. Driver at 110+mph. Typical gapping for playable swing (in cold dense winter air).
LW – 85
SW – 100
GW – 120
PW – 135
9 – 150
8 – 160
7 – 170
6 – 180
5 – 190
4 – 200
5w – 235
3w – 260
D – 290
Although the concept of making each iron in a set the same length is not new (Bobby Jones used single length irons in 1930 to win the Grand Slam), never before has there been so much attention given to single length. I copied that from Google to make sure I was right. But like you wrote not too many people use them. I bought a set of one-lengths about two years ago. One for the reason I wanted newer irons, two they were not that expensive, and finally since I don't get out and play a lot I thought it might make it easier for setup!! I played normal length for over 30 years to this point. 🏌♂⛳😀 Great video Andrew with lots of excellent information!!
Love my Avodas!!
Im getting fitted beginning of February in Pittsburgh for avodas! Im kind of nervous because my iron swing is currently in a funky place 😅
