Combo Length Irons
Both variable and same-length irons offer advantages and drawbacks.
We've designed a set that eliminates the downsides while leveraging the strengths of both for superior accuracy into and around the green.
Striking the Right Balance
Traditional variable length sets pose challenges for achieving consistent ball striking due to the unique setup and swing required for each club. On the other hand, same-length irons address consistency issues but may introduce challenges for players with slower clubhead speeds.
In our combo length sets, the Lob wedge to the 8 iron have a uniform shaft length of 36 inches, roughly equivalent to a 9 iron length. One setup position, greater consistency.
Our 4, 5, 6, and 7 irons feature variable length shafts, enabling players to maintain consistent distance gapping for longer approach shots.

Game Changing Benefits
Harnessing the advantages of both variable and same-length irons to enhance precision and accuracy.
Consistent Setup
Having all scoring clubs at the same length streamlines your setup and swing, significantly enhancing control over launch angle, ball speed, and spin. The minimal increase in shaft length for wedges is easily adaptable and offers significant advantages.
Forgiving Long Irons
The 4, 5, 6 & 7 irons are played slightly shorter than a traditional variable length set. The shorter shaft lengths improve strike consistency while the slightly heavier heads maintain ball speeds and increase forgiveness without sacrificing any carry distance.Â
Increased Spin Control
By using same length shafts in the scoring clubs it allows us to reduce the head weight of the wedges by up to 25 grams compared to a traditional variable length set. A lighter club head allows for more club head speed, which increases spin for enhanced control and confidence on critical shots into and around the green.
Newfound Flexibility
Our strategic loft gapping frees up an extra club in your bag. This means you no longer have to decide which essential club to remove when adding a driving iron, 5-wood, or specialty wedge. The freedom to choose is now yours.
The Advantages of Combo Length
While manufacturers continuously introduce new heads and shafts, the core setup of iron and wedge sets has remained relatively stagnant for years. Enter combo length iron sets, such as Avoda Golf's...
FAQ
What is Combo Length?
Combo Length merges the advantages of variable length and same length iron sets into one innovative package. It combines same-length scoring clubs (lob wedge to 8 iron) with variable-length long approach clubs (7, 6, 5 and 4 irons), offering the perfect balance of consistency, control, and flexibility in your game.
How Do I Know if Combo Length Is Right for Me?
If you're seeking improved consistency with your scoring clubs and more flexibility and forgiveness with your long approach shots, Combo Length irons could be a game-changer for you. They're designed for golfers who want easier to hit long irons, more spin and control on their wedges and short irons, and an overall more consistent and confident approach to their game.
What Problems Do Combo Length Irons Solve?
Combo Length Irons address the challenge of inconsistent ball striking and control that players face with traditional variable-length sets. By standardizing the length of scoring clubs and optimizing the design of long approach clubs, they enhance strike consistency, increase spin and control, and provide tailored options for longer shots, simplifying the game for players at all levels.
Can Combo Length Irons Improve My Short Game?
Yes! With scoring clubs all at the same length, players can use a single setup and swing for these clubs, greatly improving the consistency of launch angle, ball speed, and spin rate. This standardization, coupled with lighter wedge heads in the set, results in more spin and control, giving players more confidence and precision into and around the green, especially on demanding shots within 50 yards.
Will I Sacrifice Distance with Shorter Long Irons in a Combo Length Set?
Not at all. The design of Combo Length sets allows the 4, 5, and 6 irons to have slightly shorter shafts without sacrificing distance, thanks to slightly heavier heads that enhance forgiveness on off-center hits. This adjustment improves strike consistency and overall performance on long shots.
What Additional Advantages Do Combo Length Sets Offer?
Combo Length sets offer more flexibility in club selection due to their unique loft gapping. For example, Avoda Golf's Origin Series features a 5-degree loft gap in the same-length scoring clubs and a 4-degree gap in the variable-length stock distance clubs. This allows for an extra club in your bag, providing different flight options, short game versatility, or even dual driver / fairway wood setups for enhanced strategy on your tee shots.
Who Should Consider Switching to Combo Length Irons?
Golfers of all skill levels looking for a more consistent, controllable, and customizable golf experience can benefit from switching to Combo Length Irons. Whether you're a seasoned player adjusting to varying shot requirements or a beginner aiming for game improvement, Combo Length clubs offer unique advantages that could significantly impact your performance and enjoyment of the game.
