I agree. The reality after the hype is that if an proficient golfer uses the new club most will gain closer to 15 inches. For the rest of us not so much. The top drivers are generally within 5 to 10 yards of each other. I use whatever I can keep in the fairway. It's tough to hit greens from behind trees. Keep it simple.
I gave my golf clubs to First Tee several years back. Hadn’t played in ages. But my dad got heavily into golf when I was in high school and college (1960s and early’70s). He was never great with woods at all, so my mom and I surprised him one birthday with a custom order 1 iron. That actually did improve his game.

Since everything that goes around comes around, I wouldn’t be surprised to see 1 irons making it big again.

Cheers,
Dirk
