    I loved that you touched on grip pressure Micah. It’s so key and I don’t think it’s talked about enough. Without a soft grip pressure on those longer clubs, you lose that lag, you get quick and it creates allot of weak contact.

    I keep and carry a 2-iron (vintage Northwestern "Chi Chi" Rodriguez Tournament) for a single hole on my local course. It's a 4 par 270 yard dogleg to the right with a split-rail fence and drainage ditch midway and trees out at 230 yards that block the sight of the green. I fire a 2-iron off a tee straight at the outer edge of the inside tree and it gets me over the fence and under the trees for a 7-iron up onto the (convex) green and a putt. If I two-putt it's still par. If I slice a bit it's a gamble to get through the tree branches/leaves and 50/50 I make it for a nice chip up on the green and a birdie. It also punches far and flat on windy days if I do my part. At the driving range I always fire a couple with the 2-iron. Another arrow in the quiver. I don't carry a 3-iron as that is overlapped with a 3-wood, 5-wood and a 21degree utility that I do carry.

    Micah, I could not agree more, I also have the ZX Utility 2 iron and I and my playing partners will swear to you it is by far my most fun club to hit and a hammer to hit. I play in Oklahoma and at my course I use it off the tee and on par 5's a ton. I just recently went through my last 9 rounds of golf and hit that damned thing 39 times off the tee only (not counting any approaches) in those 9 rounds, and those 39 shots averaged in total 253yds. Best club I own sir!

  • @garyneal4189
    @garyneal4189 2 года назад +4

    Well done. Great explanation of ball placement. I just got a zx2. Took me about 4-5 balls to get a good ball placement. But I couldn't put it down. Lol. I was able to work the ball from left to right. Not trying to crush it yet. But was averaging 235 carry. For me being 60 years old.thought that was good enough for what I was putting into it. Now from the turf I was getting about 215 Carry. I do not like 3 woods or hybrid clubs. They just don't look right behind the ball for me. So this 2 iron I think is going to be fun! Thx for the information!

  • @WilbertoCasillas
    @WilbertoCasillas 3 года назад +8

    Great video! I think the emphasis on grip pressure and ball position here is so important especially with them long irons. I have a tendency to put my long irons almost as far forward as my three wood which causes a hook for me. Moving it more to the center (a couple of balls forward of center) has allowed my overall iron striking to become consistent and playable!

    Micah love you but as a club fitter I gotta disagree with "everyone" having one in their bag. Sure for someone that mashes the ball it makes total sense for a driving iron to be in the bag. But for the average golfer with speeds using a club like that (roughly 70-90 mph) a hybrid is much more effective. Unless you have consistent ball striking skill and speed, a driving iron will punish you greatly, even with people telling you how forgiving they are. The launch is generally too low, and they won't carry the ball far enough to make it effective even with roll out. A hybrid would fit the average golfer SO MUCH better with higher MOI and lower CG. I keep most of my fittings away from even having a 4 iron in the bag these days. I find that unless your ball striking is on point, your distance averages can vary too much with long irons punishing you in the long run. But on the other hand, if you have speeds over 90mph and can find the center of the face most of the time, sometimes a hybrid can launch and spin too high making it more effective to use a driving iron. Also that Ventus HB shaft is a 10TX I believe, that ain't no stiff!

      My club head speed is between 115-120 with the driver and I don't use a 2 iron. I'm a low ball hitter and I found that a 5 wood does the job much better for me. I can hit a 5 wood much higher than a 2 iron.

  • @autotrip5
    @autotrip5 3 года назад +19

    Awesome tutorial. The 2 iron is a tremendous skill. Really hard to not slice off for a lot of people with slower swing speed but a penetrating straight flight is pure gold especially off the tee. 3 wood or a hybrid can give you a nice high ball flight with some spin to try to attack a green from distance. Maybe consider a hybrid or a 5w for the club spot you have and to gap in that 230+ range.

    I am very confused when I watch you swing. You swing well over 100 mph but it looks like you are swinging about 80. I am just amazed at how easy you swing that club. Ernie Els is called the big easy because of how he swings and your swing seems just as effortless as his.
    Thanks for this video.

    Just recently started hitting 2i with some pretty great success IMO. one thing that also helped me was actually teeing it up slightly to gain the confidence to "sweep" it . now I am hitting in out of fairways and slight rough anywhere from 230-250 with some solid accuracy, and even further off the tee. Really appreciate the thoughts and tips Tig!

    A great alternative to a 2 iron for golfers who don’t enjoy the speed and power that Micah has would be a 4 utility iron. Something in the 20-23° range. It gives you the same benefits that Micah is talking about with his 2 iron but in a club that has just a tad more loft which allows slower speed players to get the correct launch and spin to be able to get the most out of the club. Just my 2¢

  • @eliasadam2345
    @eliasadam2345 2 года назад

    I'm an advanced beginner and the 2 iron is my favorite long distance club on the fairway. I think it's just all the time I spent at the range practicing with my 6 and 8 iron that my swing just carried over to it well. Supposed to be a difficult club but found it easy and a great addition to my bag.
    I also use the hybrid instead of the driver when hitting off the tie as I'm almost always perfectly straight with a hybrid for about 200+ yards but I'm awful with the driver. With the driver I either slice, popup or way overshoot what I'm aiming for so I leave it in the bag unless I'm practicing with it.
    But on a 5 par course, I love the hybrid then 2 iron combination.

  • @michaelparsons541

    Why do you play a stiff shaft in the 2 iron? doesnt it spin a lot for you?

    I agree with all of it! Great tip on not leaning forward with the shaft!

    Great tutorial, but throwing the ball tracer on there would help tremendously.
