Could you hit the infamous John Daly 0 Iron? Let us know your thoughts in the comments.
Watch us attempt Jack Nicklaus' famous 1-iron shot next ➡ruclips.net/video/Omq0p-EFLfI/видео.html
I was working for Wilson as a production engineer and actually built these clubs. We made 5 of them at our plant in Tullahoma, Tn. I sent 4 to the headquarters in Chicago where John picked out one to play. I STILL HAVE THE ONE I KEPT. NO IT IS NOT FOR SALE. It is a very playable club and I have hit it a few times. It is now put away and is a great story for me.
How much
@@JeDxDeVu he said not for sale 🙄
@@bigbluemsp I know.
🤥
You are your last name! ;p
When your caddy is better than all of you 😂
most likely. they spent more time on golf course than average golfer so it's no surprise.
A lot of people caddy so they can play golf for free. And nobody wants a caddy who doesn’t know the game inside out. A lot of caddies are as good as the club professional.
Usually the case
Unsurprising really
Must be tough watching people with shit swings all day long.
Caddy absolutely striped that ball
Oh ya, that was a nice swing
He’s got a nicer swing than most of the golfers he caddies for I dare say 😂
Caddies do be the best golfers they’re on the course more than we think
I’m sure most caddies are pretty awesome golfers in their own right, at least compared to the average scratch golfer.
Caddie had the best swing by far!
for real it was so nice
I’m sure most caddies are pretty awesome golfers in their own right.
I briefly thought it was going to be some surprise where the guy was actually a PGA golfer.
I once played 9 holes with a guy who only had 3 clubs. He had a zero iron, 9 iron, and a putter. I was a 10 handicap at the time and long story short he beat me by 3 strokes. It was a crazy day to say the least.
@@DarkkitesTV gfy boomer.
Wow who gives a crap
@@dailytimes6787made enough of an impression on you to comment!
@@dailytimes6787I bet you're fun on the golf course
@@beavisbuttgoblin fuck yeah bud
Never sleep on the caddie, odds are they're the best stick in the group.
3:24 that's a smooth looking swing!
Like fucking butter. I aspire to have a swing like that one day
He used this, along with his driver, to make the 630 yard par 5 17th at Baltustrol in 2.
not quite - the Staff RM irons only came out in 1995, and the 0 was developed from there. He was still hitting a 1-iron (Wilson Staff Ultra 45) back in '93
@@euan1234 According to a Golf Digest article I have from back in 05’ (when they were covering the upcoming PGA Championship), he used a 0 iron. The writer even said “(yes, a 0 iron)”. Whether that information was correct or not, I cannot say, but I can certainly say that’s what was written in the article. It’s the only reason I’d ever even heard of a 0 iron.
@@thetowndrunk988 - yes, for sure. I also saw something saying it was a 0-iron as well, when I was double-checking. But I'm pretty sure I'm good with saying it was a 1, as the actual irons from the 1993 tournament was auctioned a few years back. I tried to link it but I don't think youtube allowed it. Entire set of irons sold for only $500 at the time, but more importantly it was a 1-iron in the set. I think the 0 came out in 1995, after he had won the Open at St Andrews. We are discussing such a small detail, but it was just because I was a huge fan of Daly around this period, and I remember the notoriety of the 0-iron (I am left-handed so it was unavailable to me!)
My brother in law played on the Nike for a few tourneys before joining the Marines (and played for the Marines) and he carried a custom Merit 1 iron. That thing was like hitting a boulder with a hockey stick. He could shape it out to about 260. It was madness.
Cool story bro

🤥
Long irons especially off the tee are severely underrated. I love my 2 iron off the tee which I get about 220 to 245 yards. I am sad to say not really much far behind my playing partners using their drivers.
Yeah I have a Mizuno hitogami 1 iron in my set just because it was sitting with old used stuff in a bin and I snagged it for like $20
I carry a 2 iron...but it looks nothing like that 😂. I remember trying to hit a Cobra 1 iron back in the day. It was the smallest head I had ever seen. I tried hitting it a couple times...the vibration was unreal...it stung like crazy.
I actually purchased a 0 iron in Japan in the early 90's it was made by an unknown (to us in the west) Japanese company. but it was little advantage to the 1 iron I carried
That bunker shot! With a zero iron!!!
Video idea. 5/7 wood vs 3/4 hybrid comparison. I’m torn and like to hear your thoughts!
Interesting ….
@@Golficity I think it’s a hot topic for those of us that, let’s just say, are happy to break 100 but are going for that 90 barrier.
It was fairly well known that JD didn’t like fairway woods but did like long irons. Also, this was before hybrids were in existence.
pretty sure a 7 wood lines up with more of a 6i/5i distance. a 3hy would carry 60 yards more.
@@snowboardfamilyof4 my 5 iron is 24 degrees so I’d say a 7 iron is closer to my 4 iron
I just know that caddie had a looonnngggg day with that group lol
Learning to play golf in the late 60s then high school golf late 70s one irons were quite common,
I carried one for years my dad called it the stroke saver, for when you driver went bad.
In highschool and college it was always in my bag. My favorite club was my ping 2 wood.
When lynx made the black cat the one got replaced with a 2 iron.
The fact that no one hit a stinger with this makes me physically ill
The caddie even mimicked john Daly’s swing 👏😳
What was that app you were using?
It looked like a very informative and well thought out app
I was playing a money game with daly at MSU two weeks prior to him winning the PGA Championship.................... an example of his length: on a 239 par 3 he hit a 5 iron ( I would hit 1 iron or 3 wood depending on conditions, and on most drives he was 60 yards ahead of me :( Thats with balata balls and lofts nowhere near what are on irons today.
He was a beast back then. I watched him play on what was then the Ben Hogan Tour the season prior. Wish he would have taken his health and fitness half way serious through the rest of his career
That caddy’s swing I pure asf sheesh
What app do you use to get the yardages and other stats?
this club is no different than my Mizuno Pro 223’s lol they have no meat at the bottom. I should of stayed with the game improvement category
I have a zero iron but i call it a putter.
What the heck? I wonder how many people were fooled by the lie of the thumbnail?
Rather see John hitting it than a pile of regulars 🤦🏻 ffs
You all should take me golfing. I promise you'll laugh harder than ever before.
Seriously, it's that bad. My handicap is just a picture of a wheelchair at this point.
Drive only counts if it's off a beer can.
I suck...I mean I really suck, and I have no problem hitting a club like this.
This video should be called “watch golfers with terrible swings hit a 0 iron”
If you got a group of people that can actually swing a golf club then there might have been a better outcome 😂
Or, this is what 99% of golfers look like, not everyone is Tig or Garret.
@@thomasmacgruber6701those guys all had horrible swings. I see 20 people at my local muni better than that every round
@bigstepper4203 no one asked if you knew people better. No one. This is still the average golfer
Classic. Not surprised the caddy has the best swing hahaha. Good video!
Got another one coming out Monday where we challenge people with Tigers 97 driver. 😬
What’s that app called tho?
I had a Lynx Parallax 1 iron once and it was hard as hell to hit. When you connected though, no other club felt better.
Still have mine-1 thru pw
When lynx came out with the black cats my 1 iron got replaced with the 2 black cat
25-30 years ago I carried a 1 iron for specific courses that were more narrow. At that time my driver club head speed was 128, so one iron off the tee was not as difficult as for others. I could get it out there about 250 and straight. I couldn't hit it off the deck for anything.
These people are terrible. The caddy was the only one with a good swing
Love it Boyz ! Keep going in this direction, love the changes
Didn't see a single swing in this video with under 20 handicap. Need at least a decent golf swing for that club.
I never had a zero iron. But back in the day I used a one iron off the tee. I could hit it as far as the driver and much more accurately.
Your driver must have sucked then
I spank my 15 degree 2 iron better than almost any club in my bag. Id love to crank this thing!
mikey divots gonna have to put that in the bag and see how the turf interacts. that man creates divots rolling out of bed!
Sure do…😉 - M
It's probably today's 3 iron.
How so?
Because today's iron stop at 5, with 23 degree
I have an adjustable I can set to 0 degree needless to say it impossible to get off the ground but you can get like 100 yards carry due to the spin and if you hit it well
Can you imagine an iron with a driver loft? Yeah it's called a driving iron!!
Yes but usually they have rather a iron-2 type loft. Not 12°…
Yup and driving irons have often got 18 to 20 degrees loft, not 12
For whatever reason as a kid learning the game with my father I naturally hit irons sky high and was/am a good iron player never liked the way fairway wood felt looked something in my head couldn’t get past a driver looking head that you can’t tee up so instead of 3-5 woods I’ve always had well I call it a driving iron, a 2 iron 3 iron so fourth
This is cool, I've amassed a good collection of 1 irons, found a 10 iron, I need to find one of these
I have a 10 but not a 0 😭
I have an old 11 iron and I love it
10 iron is usually curtsies for pitching wedge.
10 irons are confusing macgregor called their pw 10 irons but then you also get the 10 degree irons
@@chubeviewer I used to have a putter that was labeled 10
I was at TPC Avenel for the Kemper Open and followed JD all day when he debuted the Zero
I hit a 2 iron off the tee occasionally. I occasionally hit it poorly
I carry a -2 iron (negative 2 iron) and I hit everything right into the damn ground just like you're supposed to. So when it happens I know exactly why and don't stand there like a jackass afterwards looking dumbfounded. Takes out all the guess work. I only pull it out when I'm playing bad, which is pretty much every other hole or more.
Caddy had that swing.
Ya I used to have a “Driving Iron “ also. But it was before John Daily
I have a Jack Nicholas 2 iron. I am terrified not to hit it pure 😂 At 62 with arthritis it pains me to do otherwise.A good hit for me is around 200+ yards
I have an Aussie Lynson 2 iron. When you find the sweet spot😮💨, eventually, it is so fine. Much better than some of my 3 irons.
I hit driver off the deck probably on average 3 times a round. Especially on par 5s. How is this a problem? I’m usually worse off the tee than I am from the fairway with it. Sometimes when I am properly struggling off the tee, I hit driver from the tee box without a tee. I’m not even that good. Only 6 handicap. I’m sure if you got actual golfers to play it, they’d do ok.
I’d probably love one. The lower centre of the club than driver would make it easier to hit than driver from the fairway I think. Although could be wrong. Got a mate with a blade 2 iron and that thing is rough in my hands and he crushes it. It is like a butter knife.
Saw this bad boy in full action as a steward at birkdake in 98......had no driver at all abd just hit this. Got on the 16th, with Mark calc and hit 3 unbelievable shots with hit.....straight, long draw and power fade.....just fantastic to watch, the strike on the ball and power was something else
Flop Shot Challenge with the zero iron would be awesome!
Let’s go!
@@Golficity I'm ready to go😎
Club performed a lot better than I thought it would
butter your bread with thing
The hardest club to use but the choosed the worst players. Great combination.. Haha
I hate watching people that don't really know what they're talking about talk about golf.
I need one of those, I LOVE long irons.
Got a Mizuno #1 driving iron. It's got 14° loft, and looks like a weird hybrid. Hardest club to hit in my collection. Definitely a stinger club.
Ahh I’ve got that Midsize golden RM 3 iron and my god that looks good
It’s also a great club for keeping the ball below the tree line. Makes a difference.
I have a 2 iron blade. It's great for punch outs
Back in this time I was playing HS golf with 845s and nuking 8 irons over the green from the center of the fairway. Not the best era for clubs but the long irons went a mile.
I use a 2 iron on the tee box. I usually hit it 220 yards.
No you don’t.
3:40 that’s what she said (I hope)😢
Man, the only nice swing I saw was the Caddy and it was sweet. Spend of of that money on some lessons people instead of getting someone to serve you clubs up clubs you can’t hit consistently 😂
whats that app at 1:32
Second dude up had a beautiful swing. Balance was on point, just came out of it a bit.
My body hurt’s watching these guys swing 😅
I got a one iron on Amazon, I can hit it just like my 5 taylormade sim 2. Except it goes 270 yards.
Stupid.
Two magic factor.
LEVERAGE,
And confidence.
Man that caddie had a swing on him!
They tracked everybody’s data, but they couldn’t give us the numbers on the caddies swing? That’s the one I really want tosee.
I have a friend who, 45 years ago, could hit his Ping 1-iron 10-15 yards farther than pros hit their drivers. He was as long as Evan “Big Cat” Williams!
Sure he did. Just like everybody else in the comments who are all undiscovered professionals
I think I could hit a really accurate shot with the xero iron. I still carry an old 1 iron and use it probably 3 or 4 times on 18 holes. Been using it for a long time. Oh yeah it is from a original Spalding's set of clubs.
Big guy that thinks he's buff
Carries 186.....John Daly huh?
Bring it on my 16 year old son can hit it. He LL carry a 2-3 iron in the bag and its a BLADE. NOT CAVITY BACK
Driving Irons are nothing new. They used to be fairly popular before hybrid irons and such.
Thats wierd, I hit a 3 Iron 215 Saturday on the green. I cant remember what I could do with my 1 iron but im going to get it out this weekend.
everyone dressed and cut to look the part yet awful swings, hippy shaggy caddy comes up with the best swing. Spend more money on clothes and clubs laaaadies.
I’m amazed every time I rip a 3 iron.
Ive got an old school 1 iron my uncle handed down to me because I cant hit a driver or wood to save myself. Its probably my most used club
I can hit my 3 iron about as far as I drive. Most of my golf game needs work but I can cook with a 3 iron.
Wilson should consider re-introducing this club. Considering most of those guys had a decent hit with it.
As a lefty that plays right, I have never had a problem hitting any long iron. I just can't putt for shit.
my toxic trait is wanting this in my golf bag asap
I still carry and play my tommy driving iron. I tee off with either that or my 2i. I don’t carry any woods. haven’t replaced my dci’s because no one make long irons anymore
Yea i have a set of tommy armour 845 evo cavity v31s. And i have a 2 iron everybody is always shocked that i have one. Nobody is used to seeing any irons above 3 lmao. Excelent clubs though. Very accurate and true. The 2 is a bitch to hit tho
Big deal. I have the -1° iron that Jesus used to win the Bible Open. It's one hell of an iron.
I actually have these irons while waiting for new ones they suck so bad
Why pick on high handicap golfers, do a test of better handicap golfers or pros
I carried a Ping 1 iron in my day for the same purpose, I think a 0 iron is a good idea.
shows two guys distances with 0 iron, doesnt show girls.. come on Golficity, wouldnt of said shit if it was low but its weird not even showing it
Absolutely horrible sample group I have never seen so many people step out of their swing
Wilson should pick daly up again they need a guy who can drawn the average golfer
This would be a great video if it wasn't for the person speaking.
So their calling a driving iron a 0 iron?? Ok trying to be fancy but I think we get it.
Looks like Trump National in New Jersey
I've used one, and that sucker hurts when you miss hit it.
Only one person with a decent swing and it’s the caddie.
The amount of golfers with horrible swings on that!!!
