Thank you, Peter! Love all your videos! Just received my Takomo 101s. Took them out to the range yesterday and decided to hit the four iron. I had no issue hitting high draws around 200 yards. I ordered two and three driving irons

great video ive just purchased the titleist u505 4 iron and been on the range and course and absolutely love it its a very forgiving club so now ive just purchased the titleist u505 2 iron 👍

My wife got me a brand new Wilson Staff Utility 2 iron for Christmas last year for the equivalent of £70 and I absolutely adore the thing. Such a weapon on windy days as my course is on the coast.

I’ve got a srixon zx mk2 with that same orange di shaft Pete had in the titleist. It’s just magic. Bombs and stingers both possible and I’m not sure there’s a more fulfilling club to hit well than a driving iron.

I got a brand new Srixon ZX utility the 3 & 4 iron, the 2021 models, incredible clubs. I'm not exactly good enough for the 3 iron and have since switched back to a hybrid, but the 4 iron is firmly in the bag. I still have the 3 iron for certain courses and shots.

Been gaming that Taylormade for over a year now and I couldn’t be happier with it. What shocked me was how good it is off the fairways, and I am not the ball striker that you are. I’ll grab that on a par 5 way before I’ll touch my 3 wood.

@@gliglugla1998 it’s pretty forgiving. Maybe not as much as the 505, but definitely nothing scary. I’m also only a 20ish handicap, and I can play it no worries. For me, it’s about average 215 yard club, and the 4 iron is around 185 - 90 (my swing isn’t super fast, so happy with those numbers).

would be nice to see an actual fitted shaft not the stock aldila shaft in the UDI when you have an upgrade Tour ad in the Titleist (£400 driving iron in total) or use stock offerings from all the manufacturers.

@ronswinford4952 8 ай бұрын

I once carried a Ping 1 Iron, but now I don't understand why most average golfers would not pick something like a 4 or 5 wood for that same slot in the bag. You can hit them low if you want to, but they carry better and are more forgiving. If you have to hit it low a bunch maybe the iron is the better choice, but for most I would think the fairwood would be a much better choice.

@leearmstrong7007 8 ай бұрын

Love the comparison. Why would someone choose the stealth UDI over the DHY? As a high handicapper I love the DHY just curious why a better player would not choose it

Desired ball flight, UDI is generally a flatter - penetrating flight. DHY is a great higher launching flight which may not roll out as much.
