Swing Science FC-One Plus Irons

The Swing Science Plus iron is a great alternative for the recreational golfer that needs a bit of help on off center impacts along with sole forgiveness help on “fat” shots.  These irons are a great ultra game improvement iron.  It comes 5i to PW and the regular FC-One iron can be used from the PW, GW and SW or you can go with the FC-One wedges.  Above the 5i one can go with hybrids or for those that are fit best with a matching same iron shaft as in their irons one can choose the FC-One Utility Iron in 3UI, 4UI and 5UI.  A number of possibilities exist for the best performance for the individual golfer along with various weight steel and graphite FC-One shafts.  These come in 2 colors of blue.

Fitting is done with the same head and various shafts of correct playing length and lie adjustments.  Don’t be put off by enormous costs of off the rack irons when you can start with a well fit set of irons for the recreational golfer.  (Example a FC-One Plus iron with FC-One 1150i steel and a Swing Science matching Dual Density grip is $45/iron.)  Other shafts and grip combinations come at various pricing.  Fitting cost extra.

Tee It Forward

Golfers see this often in every foursome at least one or more members of the group are playing the incorrect tee box for their driver distance.  The USGA and PGA came out with the “Tee It Forward” program in 2011.

There is a good chart on the link from USGA/PGA on what tee and distance of course you should use for your driver distance.  Tee It Forward Guidelines

I am 85 mph driver club head speed and average 200 yards max.  I should play 5400 yards not 6000.  Not all courses have correct tee boxes for your driver distance.  But these are proven good guidelines.  They make the game faster and more enjoyable.  To be able to drive the ball relatively accurately you need minimum 90 mph driver club head speed to play 3000 yard 9 hole 6000 yards 18 hole.  Also one would need more center face impact to have good 1.3 – 1.4 smash factor which also means the majority of recreational players are playing to long of a driver playing length to make good center face impact.  This all goes back to correct fitting of a driver.  Golf is first a game of accuracy and then distance.
