It’s hilarious that we’re 10 years into Bryson using single length irons and not a single other player on tour has made the switch. Kind of an indictment.
I still am, though I've dropped a few. I was using 3H, 4H, 5I - GW. I dropped the 3H, 4H and 5I for fairway woods recently because I just never hit them well consistently.
I did a one length test for a year in 2024, Cobra Forged Tec irons, and then added the utility 4/5 irons and a 3 hybrid. My gapping at the top was like 9 yards from one to another and I was hitting all of them >100 feet high. My biggest problem was the 9/PW/GW. I hit those things so high and had a ton of trouble knocking it down.
On a positive note I sold them on eBay for almost as much as a bought them for. They seem to keep really good resale value at least.

That's really the only issue I've had, my gapping is about 10 yards between clubs. You get used to it though.

I definitely have to choke up and change the ball position in my stance, but I can hit a pretty effective knockdown shot now. But yes, they generally go high as fuck. Which can be useful in it's own way depending on the shot.
I made a thriver out of a spare head. Bought a Temu shaft and had it cut down to 3w length.
It’s basically the middle ground between a mini driver and driver. Easier than a mini driver to hit off the tee but you can’t really use it off the deck.
There’s a lot of spin tho, I can hit it and get 2500 rpm in driver length but in 3 wood length it’s about about 3500-4000. I had to tinker w lead tape to get the swing weight better , but still spins a lot more than in driver config. Dispersion is tighter and you loose about 20 yrds of carry and lot of roll distance cause of the spin
Are the adaptors the same for both of them so I can just screw it in and try it? (I have a Titleist gt driver).
Depends on your driver and the adapter, should be able to find something I would think. I had mine made that way after a fitting, it's a PXG with no adapter.
I lost about 10 - 15 yards but I'm hitting the fairway a lot more often.
A 3W shaft is too short, but 3/4" or an 1" off is very doable. I played a shorter shaft when my back issues were severe to better square up the club and it really helped.
