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.
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 👍
Srixon ZX2 is hands down the best on the market. Butter soft, powerful, and fair price. I had the Stealth 2 UDI and sold it after a few rounds. Can’t go wrong with it.
I tried em all, can confirm that was the buttery, right down the muddle one. Turns out, I couldn't order one from ANY without waiting a few months. I should look into them again. 2UDI, RECOIL F3 was the jam. Glad you guys were able to get one. Best
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
Hi, what did you make of the driving irons? I got the 101s myself and love them but want the 2 driving iron to help get even more distance off the tees
As a mid handicapper I’m using the Ping icrossover 2 (18*) driving iron on courses without a lot of forced carry where it rolls out nicely otherwise it’s an 18* Ping hybrid.
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.
I got a used ping G-crossover iron. As a beginner who can't hit his driver well at all and also struggled with full hybrids, this thing is really nice and gets me like 80% of the distance and more often than not it's somewhere in the fairway or light rough.
Have the Titleist U505 4 iron and the Srixon zx mk2 2 iron. Would’ve gone for the 2 in the 505 as well, but got a great price on the Srixon. Either way, both have changed my long game after years of struggling with Hybrids etc.
@@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).
How does the U505 4 Iron compare to your regular iron? I'm considering replacing my 4 Iron for more consistency and longer distance with the U505 vs a 4/5 hybrid.Thoughts?
Just tested the Titleist. Felt amazing and would generally love that high launch but it was too high and spinny for my swing. Hard to find the UDI anywhere but might just need to trust you on this Pete.
I've struggled with most hybrids (hooking). Recently was bagging cally UW. It was okay. Bought an u505 2 iron. Man, this is the best 18-19 degree club in my life. To be fair, I cannot hit it a Tiger stinger.
You could just get a sim UDI iron, it's pretty much the same since Taylormade haven't changed anything really. It's my favourite club in the bag and love posting videos of it alone for fun lol
Why didn't you review the srixon aswell? I've tried the stealth2 and sounded very clicky. The mark2 feels and sounds like a forged iron. Please add more in future reviews
I have the new U505 4 iron. It’s great when you get it out the Center of the face weather your a little thin or not it does great, but I find it harsh if you get it out of the toe
I love my P790 2iron. I don’t carry a driver since I have never been able to find fairways consistently. Got rid of it and my score dropped significantly. Nice video Pete.
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
Interesting video. I'm using a stealth+ hybrid atm but I have to say that I would like to game a driving iron and that stealth driving iron looks real good and might temp me enough to get one.
i bought the Takomo and i have to agree it's not as good as i hoped.. but it was cheap. i play t100 irons and just didn't want to pay the price for the Titleist DI the takomo feels too light to me
What I will say, the second hand market for driving irons is shocking. You can pick up a second hand driving iron for next to nothing, equally if you buy a new one and don't get on with it, expect to take a heavy loss when you sell it on.
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.
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.
I switch between 2 driving iron/utility irons depending on conditions: Ping iCrossover 2 iron and the U505 1 iron I use the Ping most of the time, but on a windy, dry day the u505 is a fair finding monster and hits incredible stingers. Love them both
U505 didn't feel that nice, very clicky for me, Stealth DHY on the other hand is virtually the same as U505 but with better feel. Now is that nicer looking than the U505 is another question.
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 recently bought the U505, I absolutely love it! It's so forgiving, it's my go to club off the tee if the driver isn't behaving...
Mediterranean Sea 😜
You wanna be really technical it’s just the Atlantic Ocean.
@@zacharyradford5552 really technically speaking….there is no Atlantic Ocean either…it’s all one continuous body of water 😂😂😂
Sweet. Really like how you get such good distances with such a smooth swing. Something to copy as I pick the game back up after a looooong break.

I agree the mk2 zx is amazing .. best by far

@charliepaine7650 I am a senior not athletic, but in above average shape and thpught the 2 3 and 4 were easy to hit

I ordered the 101U as soon as it dropped, and within a couple rounds it was arguably my favorite club in the bag.

Hey! What model specifically ?
@@ben380z I have the 4 iron version so 21 degrees of loft. I can carry it around 190-210 and the rollout is usually another 10-20 yards.
Adore my U505.....can do pretty much anything I want with it and it gaps beautifully between my 4 iron and my 3 wood.
Out of interest do you have a 2 iron or 3 iron?
Its a 2 iron with an Axion 75g shaft. Such a great club for me.@@arch1e_tv496
Have the Titleist U505 4 iron and the Srixon zx mk2 2 iron. Would’ve gone for the 2 in the 505 as well, but got a great price on the Srixon. Either way, both have changed my long game after years of struggling with Hybrids etc.
Hi John. Would you say the Srixon one is just as forgiving, or hard to hit ?
@@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).
can I borrow your u505, so I can decide if I want it?
How does the U505 4 Iron compare to your regular iron? I'm considering replacing my 4 Iron for more consistency and longer distance with the U505 vs a 4/5 hybrid.Thoughts?
@@dubbs1923no contest. The u505 is effortless, my old 4 is not😅.

@0:05 “mediterranean ocean“ you say? ahahahah 🤣
IMO the Ping Crossover is the best driving iron. Love the videos.
Thanks for this. Very helpful.
I have a howson 1 iron in the bag when I'm hating the hybrids I hit that down the fairways. But when it goes wrong boy does it go left!
Perfect timing. Between one of these and a3 hybrid to replace my 5 wood
I've struggled with most hybrids (hooking). Recently was bagging cally UW. It was okay. Bought an u505 2 iron. Man, this is the best 18-19 degree club in my life. To be fair, I cannot hit it a Tiger stinger.

Great video, love the content!
Callaway Apex would be my go to! Love those!
Great video Peter, would really like to see a video on the Wilson Staff Model Utility Iron
I love my P790 2iron. I don’t carry a driver since I have never been able to find fairways consistently. Got rid of it and my score dropped significantly. Nice video Pete.
Awesome video as usual. I am thinking about getting the T200U to try out.
What you think about something like an old chunky 3 iron? Like a ping g10 3 iron
The titleist sounds amazing on strike!
What about the Stealth DHY? Feel like that would be a good club to compare to these clubs
ironically I have the stealth + 3 hybrid and the Takomo 101U 2 iron in the bag, love them both.
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.
Hello Peter I highly recommend you too play the ( chaparral ) course here in Marbella !
I often try to have turf interactions, but the turf just never speaks to me.
Would love to get your opinion on the Wilson driving irons
Have you checked out the Stealth Bomber iron would love to see some numbers on that.
Interesting video. I'm using a stealth+ hybrid atm but I have to say that I would like to game a driving iron and that stealth driving iron looks real good and might temp me enough to get one.
All depends on what you want, I think I’ll keep my hybrid in the bag because I know I can trust it
I liked the stealth, but felt the sweet spot was back further, causing me to miss hit more often.
The u505 is fantastic.
titleist t350 2 iron. The absolute best driving iron ever!
big underrated driving iron is the ping g400
Was thinking about the Takomo
I wish you added the new Callaway apex UT iron...
I am thinking of getting the Stealth UDI
i bought the Takomo and i have to agree it's not as good as i hoped.. but it was cheap. i play t100 irons and just didn't want to pay the price for the Titleist DI the takomo feels too light to me
Is the Takomo available in left hand?
What I will say, the second hand market for driving irons is shocking. You can pick up a second hand driving iron for next to nothing, equally if you buy a new one and don't get on with it, expect to take a heavy loss when you sell it on.
I’ve looked for cheap ones and I haven’t found them at all.
Cuz people buy them and can’t hit them lol
@@singularEVERYTHINGthe influx of ZU 85s 2 weeks after Scottie wins a major is hilarious.
I found a like new u505 3 iron on sale for 60 bucks. Don’t mind if I do. If I don’t gel with it I can sell it for what I paid or more.
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.
How come you're gaming the Srixon AD333, Pete?
What shafts did you use?
👍👍👍👍
I’m looking for a forgiving driving iron…great timing!!!
Try Ping Crossover
Mediterranean Sea. SEA. Taylormade UDIs go far. And some be so low spin. But the Srixon ZX-MkII be forgiving. Me like
Best driving iron / utility is the Srixon zx ut, end of conversation 👍
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.
what if I have a harder time hitting woods than irons?
Im still playing the 2014 Taylormade TP UDI. Nothing has been able to knock it out the bag.
Genuine question. Are driving irons designed to be hit off the fairway as well as off the tee?
V interesting but this type of club doesn’t work for me👏🏻. Are these clubs just for using off the tee?
If you're looking for a great driving iron for cheap go to value golf and get a pinhawk driving iron head for $50 and put it on a shaft of choice.
Every player that has a fast swing speed has the slowest looking swing 😂
It breaks my brain, but I want it.
If you like the Titleist U505 2 iron - you will absolutely adore the 3 iron 😍
“Not Useless” glowing recommendation there 😂
I need one of these😅
Petey Power Finessey Finch does have a ring to it...
Who would have thought that Peter would choose the Taylor Made. What a shock 😮
i play where trees grow. hence the need for height of ball flight. maybe someday i will be a dunes player and get me a bunch of worm burning irons.
pls review the callaway apex pete pls
these clubs are useful if you struggle to get your driver off the ground with a draw (like Peter Finch), otherwise they are a waste of money
Love my Mizuno Pro #2 driving iron, amazing and I love hitting stingers with it.😊
Same, I love it. Looks sexy too
I switch between 2 driving iron/utility irons depending on conditions:
Ping iCrossover 2 iron and the U505 1 iron
I use the Ping most of the time, but on a windy, dry day the u505 is a fair finding monster and hits incredible stingers. Love them both
I judge by the edit points that it was too early in the morning for a dirty stinger shot 😂😂
I find the u505 very unforgiving, I lose a lot of distance when off-centre, very disappointing
Where is Srixon in all these reviews. The feel and look is hard to beat.
I have 2 sirxon that are so money 💰 🤑
It’s called a 3 hybrid. And why you would take an iron instead is lost on me. Links golf or not. The hybrid is way easier to hit consistently.
With how ass I am at golf I genuinely only play with 2-9 irons plus wedges, i hate my current driver so I don’t use it lol
If you’re going to say ANYONE you better make sure they build left handed clubs.
Technically, the Meditterranean is a sea, not an ocean. 😉
Peter “Power Finesse” Finch
That titleist is much closer to a hybrid than the others.
Defo chunkier
U505 didn't feel that nice, very clicky for me, Stealth DHY on the other hand is virtually the same as U505 but with better feel. Now is that nicer looking than the U505 is another question.
The takomo in a 4 iron may be the perfect 4 iron replacement, a bit more height and spin
love the "normal" 4 iron from my 101 set
Very few people can hit a 2, 3, 4 iron. So how can they hit a driving iron?
69% lighter? C'mon Taylormade, we know you just did that for the lols.
Why an iron instead of a Driver?
mmmmm, Dirty stingers is right.
Go Haywood! I’m telling y’all…. Best driving iron in the world…. Literally might be tooo hot off the face
Annnnd you missed the best DI available 🤦
It's the Mizuno fli hu
YUM!!!
I knew he would choose the taylormade😂😂😂😂😂
Every time I see stealth udi I see UTI and I’m immediately turned off by the name abbreviation
Mediterranean ocean?
Why do you say construction, yet it’s constraction?
Yeah, come on Pete. Mediterranean Ocean, really?
Well played, but dawgs will be dawgs..
sham takomo have no chill.
