borntobesting: Just once?? I carry a TaylorMade Tour Preferred TD 1 Iron that I found in our local Goodwill store for $1.00 and I have had a 1 Iron for most of my 60 years of playing golf.
For a lot of reasons, I haven't been able to play (IRL) in years. It's been so long that my woods are actually wood. :-)
Even when I played, I never carried a 1 iron. I was never that good. Even on the local course, which wasn't that difficult, the best I could manage is low 40s for 9 holes. Even hitting a 3-iron could be a bit of a challenge for me.
But I always enjoyed it. Maybe when I retire I'll get back out on the course.
