+TourSpecGolfer Posted June 13, 2006 Report Share Posted June 13, 2006 Many of the Domestic O.E.M's don't have driving irons as a part of their line up and the brands that do haven't really advanced them much in recent releases. On tight courses, I leave the driver and 3 wood in the trunk and replace them with #2 and #3 driving irons. The difference is simply score. more fairways and a better position into the green. The modifications are more evident as well for example having a 3iron length shaft on a 19* Driving Iron head produces lower straighter 200 yard bullets for me. The Tour AD UT-85 shaft 1" longer than my #3 Iron creates a mid trajectory draw that is very dependable, more carry, more distance with a minor loss in accuracy. They have been and still are vital in Japan with their tight courses and firm pristine conditions. If your interested in a more accurate shot and IMO a lower score give them a try. I have reviewed what are the 2 best driving irons in my opinion here: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sly_sam Posted June 13, 2006 Report Share Posted June 13, 2006 I like how thick it is. Looks like it'd be a really easy club to get in play every time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ckay Posted June 13, 2006 Report Share Posted June 13, 2006 I just took delivery on the AirMuscle 2 on NV 85X...can't wait to give it a few rips. I also have a PRGR 220 head coming. Don't know what to shaft them with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tsg4tch Posted June 15, 2006 Report Share Posted June 15, 2006 I still play the Taylor Made TP 3U driving iron I bought from Chris a few years ago. I put a DGSL shaft in it at standard length weighted to D2. I carry it ~230-235 yards and can hit it low or high. It takes a draw more readily than a cut, but I can cut it with an exaggerated grip to get out of the woods when needed. It is easily the safest club--least likely to be replaced--in my bag.
