  1. I absolutely love my 2 decade old 2 iron, so the 500 or the 790 would fit right into my bag nicely. I find myself using my 2 iron on dog legs where I need the ball to go under a tree in the corner, off the tee to get an accurate position into the green, or when I need that low stinger from the woods to get back in play.

    My 2 and 3 irons get used a LOT, and I have always hit them well, albeit not really long. 210 for the 3 iron and 225 for the 2. I'd really like to try out one of these and see if I can get that up to 240 so I can get rid of a wood and add a 4th wedge!

  2. Hits first 235, next 271, then 250 for TS2. Pretty much exact same swing. That’s way too much variance even with a slight mis-hit. Couldn’t really trust with trouble short/long.

  3. Hi again Ian.
    I bought a vega vu-03 driving iron thing think possibly called there hybrid but heavy and more like an iron. I play currently a 60g stiff tensei orange in an epic flash and a AV blue 70g stiff in a tour head 2017 M1 3 wood. Current hybrid is a 17 degree tour head in an 80g stiff.
    So what kinds shaft and length should I try and go for with this Vega to try. Couple of options to look at even would be fantastic and weight.
    Much appreciated Ian.

    Thank u.

  4. Which Driving irons would you suggest for someone that needs minimal offset? I draw naturally and have clubs with minimal offset (ie CB blades).

  5. Hey guys, I was wondering if you guys could help me with making a decision. I’m looking to add a 19-degree 3H or 5-wood to the bag since I just got all new clubs this year and my 5-iron is now 22-degrees (Wilson D7) compared to my old, old Taylormade RAC. I was looking at older versions of lines, because I’m young and don’t have a decent income to get 2019 or what’s coming out now, but I kind of narrow’d it down to the Rogue for 5-wood or Cobra F8 Speedback for 3H, since they’re both relatively the same price on sites I’m looking at. For background, I have relative ease hitting a wood off the deck, so I’m not scared of the 5-wood. Also, the Rogue would be pre-owned, while the Cobra would be new. And I’m a 18-24 handicapper (but distance-wise, should be like a 15 lol). Just wanted to get your thoughts so I can make an easier decision!

  6. Another great video now how about doing the best hybrid/utility challenge like the driver series’s to see who really comes out on top of the pile & ends up in Matt (The Robots) bag. ?

  7. Thanks for another helpful video! I just went through my first club fitting and he suggested 2 hybrids to replace my 3 and 4 iron. Any thoughts on a utility iron to replace the 4? More versatility than 2 hybrids? Thanks!

  8. I’d like to see more shots. Just to see how stable it is. Stopping bc “it won’t get any better” doesn’t tell the whole story when you’ve hit 2 balls.

  9. I’m planning to set up an appointment with Dr. Kendall when your Mississauga location opens. I’m looking for a hybrid and this one will go on the try list.

  10. It would be interesting to hear what Matt’s thought process when he hits a hybrid, ie. sweep it or make a downward strike. I notice he takes a small divot so maybe that’s my answer.

  11. no matter your knowledge about the game or the products y'all are talking about, there's always something for someone in these videos. great content!

  12. Guys, how are the numbers measured? Getting a smash factor of around 1.48-1.5 consistently with hybrids and driving irons seems suspicious. Great clubs, probably, but that is weird in my eyes!

  13. I did my fitting with Titleist and to my surprise ended with the TS2 (21 degree). Had previously the 816 H2 so thought I like the TS3 more but TS2 was more consistent/straighter and even slightly longer for me. Face is not much bigger than my old hybrid and it was not long getting used to. I tested the U510 and if I was in the market for 4 iron it could be a contender – super high launch. 3 iron is certainly not an alternative to a hybrid for me because you need to be able to generate speed. Overall nice but my T-MB stays in the bag for long.
