Looking for a 2 iron

Hello all! Looking to buy a 2 iron. Some irons I am looking for:

Taylormade P790

SRIXON U45/U65/U85

WILSON STAFF 3 IRON

PING G400, G410 or G Crossover

P790 is my top choice but open to others!

Thanks

Go to the 790 for the closest thing to a two iron. They are hard to find, a collectors at this point. I regret selling it.

Go to the Srixon if you want solid all around performance. Still gaming my U45 because of the distance and forgiveness.

I highly recommend finding the right shaft regardless of head choice; the shaft will make or break your results.

Thanks for the insight. Any tips on how to find the best shaft? I have a few places i could get fitted around North Jersey but have never really looked into shafts but now my game has evolved enough to where it is time. Anything can help, thanks

These days lot's of people think about buying a 2 or driving iron. Assess how you want to use the club. Off a tee, a 17* 2 iron is pretty easy to hit but off the deck and to get reasonable distance requires practice. A number of people have tried hitting my 2 iron, only a few had some success. I have carried a 17* or 18* 2 iron or 16* 1 iron since I took up the game over twenty-five years ago.

I have been carrying a Titleist 17* T-MB with PX 5.5 shaft. Some 2 irons are fine off a tee but as fine off the deck. Opt for a club head that's suited for hitting off the deck. Should have a moderately flat (low camber) somewhat narrow sole, and slightly sharper leading edge because you need to shallower AoA to sweep the ball off the surface. A steep AoA will chunk or skull the ball. My 2cents.

I'm headed out on a limb here, but I'm guessing that if you find a 2 iron, it'll be a stiff.

much appreciated

Honestly, have a look at the Cobra F9 4 iron. You could either go with a steel shaft or a steelfiber or go all out and get the Rickie edition with the AD IZ hybrid shaft which is a little more expensive. To me, it feels a lot easier to launch than your typical driving iron.

I tried a number of shafts in my 2 iron, including a 95 gram GD Tour AD Driving Iron. Graphite and I don't get along in irons. Pulled it after one round. Only played two shafts in 2 and 1 iron since 2007; Project X 6.0 and now PX 5.5. I use the club off the tee on Par 4's under 380yds and 2nd shot Par 5's under 520yds, even 2nd shots on 460+yd Par 4's.

Yeah I definitely need to become more educated on shafts

Still loving my Mizuno mp h5 2iron. Can be had for pretty cheap. Just put a Fujikura Pro 2.0 on it and absolutely love it!

I just picked up a Cobra King Utility Black Iron off here to try. It looks like it will go from 18*-21.5*. I can report back hopefully after this weekend or early next week how it hits.

My son hit / tested them all. We got him pxg 2 iron tensei Ck blue shaft. Club is great.

Got a baby blade 2i I'll sell ya, since you're open to others

Wilson has them custom in the new Staff Blade and the FG62..........

What shaft are you playing in the 3 wood and 3 iron?

You’re going to have bridge somewhere in the middle for steel vs graphite.

I went from steel to graphite with near perfect results, but my graphite shaft is at 110 grams (heavier) Recoil.

I’ve seen guys had success with steel shafts as well but I would recommend graphite.

TM P790 has a 3i with 19* of loft, but no 2i.

Why do you want a 2i? Go with a driving iron, a crossover, etc. 2i makes as much sense as loading up a 1910 Bulldog, when all the OEMs now make a variety of hybrids.

Am I missing something? Taylormade still sells the UDI 2 iron on their site.

Dont have a 3 iron but for my 3 wood I am using a stock shaft which is which is a stiff Aldila Blue

Good to see I'm not the only one....

I stand corrected. This an **Ultimate Driving Iron** with a 17* loft, which is in the P790 family. It is being called a 2i, but is in the driving iron family. I thought the original poster was talking about a standard 2i as part of an iron set.

I use a set 4i 22* as my driving iron and then go into a hybrid. I guess I was just defining terminology differently. (In the previous century, my MacGregor MT irons had an actual 2i, but the loft was 21* back then. And, I used it primarily as a driving iron).

Still using my old trusty Ping Zing 1 iron that I've had since the 90's. All that's changed is the shaft. Just put a Miyazaki shaft in it last week. Great performer and still fun to tinker with.

I have a 790 udi for sale if anyone is interested..

Has a 6.0 PXI in it

You can go with the equivalent hybrid shaft for the two iron as long as the tip diameter is the same.

It would be a good starting point since the feel would be consistent.

Secondly, you may even upgrade the shaft again if you find the flight is not boring or flat enough.
