Rory's instagram photo of a "New" Nike 2 iron?? Updated with in-hand photos

[GC70]

Looked like he was hitting it pretty good. Does anyone know how much he used it the first two rounds? I'll fore sure be giving it a try out to replace my HYB.

[jimwynn]

Looks like his 2 iron had PXi shafts in there. My eyes weren't good enough to see the flex number.

No PXi, just Project x 7.0.

I believe TW still has his old VRS 3 iron (bent to a 2 iron) in the bag.

From today.

Color me interested. Has a bit of a Rocketblade Tour look to it, IMO. Nike is putting out great gear right now. The Covert tour 2.0 is a beast. The forged iron line and wedges are phenomenal. The RzN ball is very good. I like the way they are heading.

[Stetson]

Just to confirm there has been no talk about this going to retail

I agree completely. I love my Covert driver and the forged wedges are insanely good. I grabbed a dozen of the new rzn black balls and didnt notice anything remarkable about them at first but I was almost let down when I grabbed a ProV1 after playing the rzn for a while. It was sneaky good and I'll be grabbing more again soon. I'm in the market for new irons and if they release blades in satin they'll go straight in the bag. Until then, 714 CB/MBs still have a slight edge

Before the Claret Jug made its way into @McIlroyRory hands, one of these 2 irons made its way into his bag.

I only saw them post it twice so far on @nikegolf, the photo above today. Then this one last week.

 

[scratchswinger]

That's a great looking club. Would love to see an entire set.

I'll be gaming those for sure if they make a set and not just the 2 iron. The top line looks nice from what I can see. Can't wait for the 2 iron to hit the stores.

[andef]

Looks sweet!

[Afraid2goLow]

anyone have any idea when these will be released was about to order a UDI 2 iron, but i might have to go to Leonard's range (the one adjacent to the Oven) and hope to get picked to try their new stuff and hopefully this club.

[GC70]

I think these in the pictures look better then Rory's. His looks more chrome and shiny. The tweeted ones look more satin.

[Stetson]

I wonder if this produces ball speeds similar to the CB ProH and UDI or more traditional Fli-Hi. Also curious how the spin rate is

Also, did I miss the part indicating this was going to be sold to the public?

No word on that yet, hoping for a full-set of MM proto

@nikegolf: @CelletteG At this time, these are only prototypes that are being tested by our athletes.

[Stetson]

Thank you... I was confused and thought I missed that info

It will boil down to ball speed on whether or not I get this driving iron. I like the looks of it better than the UDI or CB ProH but if it is just another 2 iron then I'm not gonna buy it. Also... The TEE is $100 while all the others from Titleist, Ping, and TM are $200 so that is something for Nike to keep in mind

Why the GolfWRX watermark on a photo that was pulled from a different website? Shouldn't GolfWRX give proper credit for the photo?

I think it was just a photo posted from Rory's account.

But uploaded via GolfWRX, so it leaves a watermark when you upload a photo.

[TheOrange2002]

The photos in replies 73 and 76 don't have GolfWRX watermarks.

Because they are hosted on a different website and linked to this. The watermark happens when you upload files and host them on golfwrx

[joker21]

Love it. I want a set. It kind of reminds me of ap2 with the black filled in pocket.

[Stetson]

I have no desire to buy a set but if the 2i can create ball speeds above a traditional iron I'm in... I am even considering a UDI but would need lead tape... Although being 16* is a little misleading for spin numbers

[tmgolfer78]

A full set of these would be awesome. I believe I read on here that covert forged are already being discontinued, so maybe these would take their spot this fall along with the new blades which are coming out? They look like they have a thinner sole and topline which would be great. I imagine they would sit somewhere between pro combo and covert forged. I'm still not sure about that diamond graphic though in the first pic. Looks cheap there but the pics posted by Nike look really good.
