Okay I don’t know how to feel about this video today I’ve got a whole mix of emotions I’m sort of excited but I’m sort of terrified and let me show you why let me introduce you to the Bose iron Factory jcm1 Z iron now this thing has 12° yes
12° of Loft precisely zero offset and a Top Line you could cut yourself on this is not for the faint-hearted this zero iron was actually sent to me by Master Craftsman Falcon Master Bara who founded the Bose iron Factory in Japan and they make some unbelievable products he sent me a
Couple of other bits just to tease me take a look at these wedges these are some of the most beautifully crafted wedges I’ve ever laid my eyes on the shaping and the Finish is just extraordinary and it seems indicative of what they do at the Bose iron Factory so
I put a link in the description down below to their website go and check out their products you won’t be disappointed but we’re not here to talk about wedges we’re going to try this zero iron this isn’t the first zero iron I’ve ever seen John Daly actually had one in the bag St
Andrews in 1995 that Wilson made specifically for him for that golf course but even that one had a slight cavity in the back to give him some help right I can’t put it off any longer I’m going to charge up GC quad hit some away get some numbers and see what it can
Do Whoa that’s going to be interesting to see the numbers in terms of the spec on this thing as I said it’s got 12° of Loft which is essentially a driver or at a push a really really strong 3-wood and it is long as well they build this a
Standard 42 and 3/4 in which is just quar of an inch sh of a standard 3w so this thing is really built for speed and distance well I’ve already had a sneaky look at the data from those two swipes so I’m going to hit a few more away and
Then going to take a closer look at the Averages okay so the number now these are really really interesting and I’m surprised in some ways and not surprised in others the surprise was that I can actually hit this thing I can get it off the floor and I can get it going and that resulted in some pretty good
Average numbers for me so I was getting an average ball speed of 152.5 mph launching at 92° and spinning around the 3,000 Mark which is aggressive but culminated in an average carry distance of 246 off the deck with a zero iron which I’m actually quite pleased with
But it’s how it got there that concerned me a little bit and this is the bit that didn’t surprise me the slight lack of consistency I wasn’t getting much help if I missed the direct middle of this golf club so my bll speed fluctuated quite a lot my lowest ball speed here of
145.310 and my longest carry was 261 so over 30 yards of difference there I’m just not sure that’s that playable I was unsure as to where to place this club as well and I’ve never hit anything as long or anything as low lofted in an iron but it
Seems to me I’ve hit a few three irons and I’ve hit a few 3ws here seems to sit somewhere between the two certainly from a yardage point of view and a ball speed point of view although because of the makeup and the Loft and thei situation
The spin is lower them both so you can see from the numbers there this thing’s pretty Adept at hitting Stingers low penetrating ballf flights but I want to see if this is just a one trick pony can I manipulate that ball flight can I get
It high can I go left to right can I go right to left let’s go to the practice ground and find out right so you joined me here at a very blustery chst and practice ground and as you can see from that ball flight that I’ve just hit this thing as we know
Has no problem hitting that stinging low knuckle ball but I want to see if if I can get this thing flighted up a bit so I’m going to move the ball up in my stance a bit sweep it away just a little bit more and see if I can get that trajectory
Up okay well I think you can see from that I can I did clip that nicely a nice high trajectory I mean it’s helped by I’m coming into the winds the winds buffered it up a little bit but I can certainly maneuver that more than I
Thought I could up so let’s see if I can now do it left or right and right to left so if you’re enjoying learning about this zero iron hit that like button sub subscribe to the channel if you haven’t already and comment down below how do you think you get on with
This okay what I think you can probably see from that I’m not having too much trouble maneuvering the ball left to right right to left was a bit more of a struggle which you tend to see when there’s less Loft on a club it did turn
Over but it certainly wasn’t as easy as cutting it that’s enough of the practice stuff let’s get out on the course and see if this thing’s good on a hole right so I wanted to see what this thing can do out on a golf course and I’ve given
Myself a pretty tough challenge if I’m honest I’m here on the fifth hole at Chon Golf Club it’s a 550 yd par five playing straight into a very very cold wind and I’m going to play the entire hole with my zero iron and see if I can make a
PA right well I found my ball it was a good hit I’ve turned it over a little bit bit disappointed to find it in some overhanging trees however this might actually be a really good chance to Showcase what this zero iron can do I’ve got to keep this really really low and
Advance it as far as as possible cuz I’ve still got about 300 plus yards to go so this might be the tool for the job I got that absolutely perfect as I wanted it started really really low stayed under these branches and I reckon even into this cold wind I’ve got that
About 220 up there which I’m chuffed with from here okay well now is where the fun and games really start because I found myself here 139 yards away yes I’ve got a very cold wind but I’ve still got to take about 100 yards off zero I’m coming out of
Some rough here although it’s sitting well it can be difficult to get enough Club on ball when you got such little Loft so let’s see if I can manipulate something here well I’m pretty trough with that 139 Ys dead pin eye left myself 10t up the hill for a birdie let’s see
Part would have been the greatest bird in my life pretty chuff with a five though well that was a bit of fun I hope you enjoyed that and that would have been the best birdie of my life and it was just a bit of fun obviously I
Wouldn’t play an entire hole with a zero ey but I hope it showed some of the versatility of this club hit a really nice t- shot turned it over a little bit into the trees but then it showed its metal with that low raking hook out of
It I even managed to 139 yard bump and run to 10 ft and it very nearly hold the birdie putt but the point of this is to see whether this might be a playable club and first requirement you need if you did think it was going to be a
Playable club would be speed if you haven’t got speed You’re simply not going to get this club Airborne so that would be requirement number one but my conclusion really is it probably just is too high tariff although I thoroughly enjoyed hitting it and off the center it just feels like butter the forgiveness
And the lack of Moi would probably make it just too high tariff to me but I do think there’s Merit in an iron of this Loft somewhere and this is a call out to the manufacturers out there if you can make an iron of 11 12° of Loft but
Building a bit morei and a bit more friendliness I really think you might be on to something

Fun video , I wouldn’t get that in the air at my swing speed.
I'd love to attempt to hit that. I do social media for a second hand golf brand here in the US, and I'd love to see about something like that. Especially when learning about JD's Wilson 0 iron from 95' You really did incredibly well with that iron, given the loft and length of that bad boy.
Great video Joe – I think in my hands it would better used for putting the butter on my hot x buns on Friday …!
Well, since they do offer a cavityback with 8 degrees on their homepage, I guess you only need to ask…. 😅
Ok so it's MaTsubara… 😅 dodged one there
This guy, he’s brilliant. Born to it.

🤣🤣 Very well done, sir. Hogan would be proud.
7:00 First, what a beautiful view overlooking this bay on a stormy day. Secondly, congratulations on having the skill (and speed) to play this iron. I would just be hitting ground balls with it.
Loving your work as always Joe. Keep it up 👍🏽
That club looked super difficult to hit but you struck it really well, I would love to see you hit the Arias D-23 2 iron which is a midsize cavity back iron with zero offset at 17 degrees, a comparison between these two irons would be very interesting.
Great review Joe, I would use this club to butter my Toast, Not a hope of me hitting a ball out of my way with it.😂😂
Wow, that was some chip! On the plus side, it would be one of the easier irons to putt with.
That green look propa muddy. Views overlooking the sea look amazing❤
