Most golfers need to look at women's bags the average male speed is the same as pro LPGA golfers. With all that said most ppl who or in the market for these kinds of clubs have above average speed.
This was such a great analytical comparison of the driving iron segment. I use an 18 degree PXG 0311 P 2 iron as my driving iron. I have tried TM and Srixon utilities in the past but prefer the forged feel (versus clicky) and lower spin of the thinner 0311 model. Playing in the Northeast during colder windy months the 2iron replaces my driver and 3wood without question. 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Dark red circle they are referring at the end as the most consistent distance-wise is the Cobra King Utility, not the Titleist U505. The titleist is the circle with the shortest shots. Mizuno and Cobra look to be the best in this test.
The 3 Utility 505 is 20*. That’s a huge difference between the 2 TM’s at 17* and 18*. I love my U505 3i as I routinely use it for 2nd shots into par 5’s or very long par 4’s. It holds the green very well and so much forgiveness off the tee. I was hoping you would have the PXG Gen5 Utility iron in this comparison.
Great video as always! I bet you might already have a video where you compare older utility irons vs newer ones, (which I will look for after I posting this), but how would you guess a Titleist TMB 718 2 or 3 iron would fair against these stats?
They're hard to come by these days...even we don't have one! With that said, if we get one traded in...we'll create some content on it as soon as possible
Really good video guys! I'd love to see a video comparing the chunkier utility irons (U505) and the more player's hybrid (TSi3 or Apex Pro) to see what the difference is between the two.
@@jakecowens5624 yeah but also I'm learning that the low lofts don't mean the ball launches low because of how low the center or gravity is they still launch very high. The height on my stealth is around 90 feet I think (per my skytrack)
Damn near criminal to leave out the Srizon ZX Utility. Forgiving, feels soft, & launches far. I use it on narrow par 4s & it goes 280-300 right up the middle.
300 yard 2 iron is a bit far fetched unless u drive the ball 350+. For me it's more like 260, 270 if I catch it really pure and my average drive is 320+ on a flat surface, no wind if I strike it in the middle of the driver face.
Micah Morris, ex good good member absolutely bombs his driver 320-330+ and only hits his 2 iron 260-270 same srixon zx 2 iron. So u gotta be somewhat near long driver competition level to be hitting 300 with a 2 iron. I barely hit my 3 wood over 300 if I catch it really solid. But who knows maybe u are one of those long drivers 🤷♂️.
You had said u505 for consistency several times. Your data says you are wrong. Cobra had more carry and much better consistency. Why do you keep saying 505 ? Math is hard ?
you can't do a data comparison with a 20 degree club vs a 17 degree club and talk about launch and spin. utterly useless gents. compare apples to apples. use all 2 iron or all 3 irons or don't bother
I believe that the srixon zx is #1 on tour so that is a tough one to leave out
Srixon utilities have unbelievable feel. But I don't have the swing speed so mine is gone.

The Wilson Staff Utility is also a shame to leave out. It is beautiful

Srixon makes the best looking and feeling UT iron. New ones coming out look even better.

Why not the Taylormade DHY ? that comes in a 3 iron.
Missing stealth dhy, which is similar to u505

Great question -- we'll add that to our list to film here shortly. Better yet, look for a Titleist TMB vs one of the new utility irons this year!
I still have the 2014 TM TP UDI 2i in my bag. I have a nippon 130 tour x in it. It's a beast.
I just don't have the speed or the launch to use one. I hit knuckleballs for days with these. And I'm a 4 hdcp. Flat hybrids and fw's for me please.
Interesting to see basically the same carry as the TaylorMades with less ball speed and smash factor in the Mizuno FliHi
U505 is red, and the key says that is the cobra. So which is it ?
What would you recommend for a mid handicapper that Doesn’t get along with fairway woods or hybrids and loves an iron
I always wonder how the Nike Vapor Fly 3 iron compares. Finau and Brooks both still have them in the bag.

I love my Mizuno MP 20 2-iron off the tee on short or tight holes. Near stress free 250 and in the fairway makes a hole a lot easier
Great breakdown. Driving Irons can be a real tool in the bag if you are player who doesn't hit woods well but are able to play well with Irons..
Really nice comparison and a lot of info, lovely content!!! 👍
Thank you for watching!!
Damn, is he a robot. That swing is butter!!!
You should include an old Adams DHY for comparison!
It's really strange there is only 1 degree of loft change from the stealth 5 to stealth 3. I'm curious what Thomas' distance gap is between these two.
I think that just shows how ridiculously strong lofted game improvement irons are at the moment

@@GolfInHawaii69 that's about my average drive. I'm just in Utah, with an elevation over 5,000ft, so they carry 10-12% longer than sea level.
Finallly my type of video!
Srixon often wins these tests.
