Single length irons live or die on one question: can the long irons keep up? Tom Wishon's answer in the EQ1-NX is to stop pretending every head can be built the same way. The lower lofted irons get a high-COR face design that adds ball speed where a shorter-than-normal shaft would otherwise bleed distance, while the scoring clubs stay conventional. Every club in the set is built to the same length, the same swingweight, the same lie angle. One setup, one swing, repeated down the bag.
The pitch is simplicity. You practice with an 8 iron, you've practiced with everything. For golfers who struggle to flush a 5 iron at 38 inches, playing it at 8 iron length is a real change, not a gimmick. Wishon built his reputation on component clubhead design and custom fitting, and the EQ1-NX reflects that. This isn't an off-the-rack set from a big box store. It's sold through clubfitters and built to your specs, which is exactly how a single length set should be done, because picking the right common length is the whole ballgame.
Does it belong in the players distance category? Loosely. The lofts run strong enough to protect distance at the fixed length, and the ball speed tech is genuinely there in the long irons. But nobody buys these to chase a number on a launch monitor. They buy them because same-length golf makes sense to them, and this is one of the most thoughtfully engineered ways to play it.
简而言之
The Wishon Golf EQ1-NX Single Length (2020) is a players-distance iron that blends ball speed with a clean shape.

About the Wishon Golf EQ1-NX Single Length
The core problem with single length sets is physics. Build a 5 iron at 8 iron length and you lose clubhead speed, so the ball falls out of the sky short. Wishon attacks this with variable face construction. The lower lofted heads use a thin, high strength steel face that flexes at impact for higher COR and more ball speed, compensating for the shorter build. As lofts increase and distance matters less than control, the construction shifts toward a conventional cavity back with a milled press face for consistency on scoring shots. Head weights are engineered so the whole set matches at one length without lead tape surgery, and sole widths are tuned by loft rather than copied across the set. It's a quieter kind of engineering than what the big OEMs advertise, but it's the difference between a single length set that works and a marketing exercise.
Who Should Play the Wishon Golf EQ1-NX Single Length?
- ✓Golfers sold on the single length concept who want it executed by a serious designer rather than bolted onto an existing set.
- ✓Mid handicappers who hit their short irons fine but lose all confidence once the shaft gets longer than a 7 iron.
- ✓Players willing to go through a proper fitting, since the set is built to order and the common length choice matters more than anything else.
- ✓Anyone who tried Sterling or Cobra ONE Length irons and wants a more refined, fitter-driven version of the same idea.
常见问题
What length are Wishon EQ1-NX irons built to?
Most sets are built at roughly 8 iron length, around 36.5 to 37 inches, though the final number comes from your fitting. That's the point of buying through a clubfitter: the common length is chosen for your posture and delivery, not pulled off a spec sheet.
Do the long irons in a single length set like this lose distance?
Some speed loss from the shorter shaft is unavoidable, but the EQ1-NX offsets it with a high-COR face in the lower lofted irons that adds ball speed. In practice most golfers see slightly shorter long irons than a conventional set, traded for far better contact. If you rarely flushed your old 5 iron anyway, you may actually gain distance.
How is the EQ1-NX different from Wishon's Sterling irons?
Sterling was Wishon's first single length design, from 2016. The EQ1-NX is the follow-up, with updated head shaping, revised face technology in the long irons, and refinements based on what Sterling taught him about single length weighting. Think of it as the second generation of the same idea.
Can I buy EQ1-NX irons off the shelf?
No. Wishon designs are sold as components through custom clubmakers and fitters, so every set is assembled to order. That adds a step compared with buying a boxed set, but for single length irons the fitting is arguably more important than the heads themselves.
Are single length irons legal for tournament play?
Yes. The EQ1-NX conforms to USGA and R&A equipment rules, and single length sets are fully legal in competition. Bryson DeChambeau has played single length irons on tour for years.
