Cut-down 2 or 3 iron

Loire

Hi,

Just wondering if anyone here uses a driving iron or 2 / 3 irons? I find I am more accurate with my 4 iron than my rescue for 2nd shots on par 5s and long par 3s into the wind and was thinking about getting a cut-down (1 inch) 2 or 3 iron - basically to get the accuracy of an iron with the length of a rescue.

Looking at one of these

I wouldn't be without my 3 iron. It's a go to club for me and when I was getting a new set last year, it was a must have.

don't know why you want to be cutting it down though

I have a TaylorMade MC 2 iron that I use quite a bit as I don't like rescues. Great off the tee on tight par 4s or long par 3s or in any kind of wind. If we ever get a summer it gives good roll out also on fairways so not much difference in distance between itself and the old 3 wood I have in the bag.
When I bought my irons over 4 years ago now long irons were hard to come but they're making a bit of a comeback lately. Also don't know why you'd want to cut it down, might is standard length.

Have had and tried a few.
Just bought the MD golf one this week with the stiff graphite shaft and so far think it is just as good as the more expensive models.
Just had it on the range so far.
This is it have to say postage and delivery time were excellent

Bought a Ping Crossover recently (the 3 'iron' version) and love it!



Great feel when swinging it and gives a lovely mid-trajectory penetrating flight.

Bubba likes it too

thanks guys. Might just go with the standard length alright.

So had the MD golf 2 iron out on the course.
I have project x 6.0 in my irons and hit the 5 iron around the 185/90 mark. Muzino mx 300s.
Comfortable getting 210 out of the 2 iron with a lower ball flight which is what I was hoping for compared to the hybrid it was replacing.
For what ever reason I hit my hybrids super from the rough and fairway but really struggled from the tee with them.

I have the Srixon Z U45 4 iron equivalent and its a fantastic to hit from tee or any reasonable lie. I find it far more accurate off the tee than my hybrid for some reason

I am definitely going to look at the 3 iron equivalent for off the tee. The 4iron gets me out to around 215 to 220 (off the tee only) so hoping for around 230 for the 3 iron which would be perfect for short to mid length par4s.

Mind if I ask where you got it and how much ?

Hi axl,

I got it through golfstyle in Galway.
As to how much sounds a bit mad but I cant say exactly as I bought it as part of a split set and they did a deal on it as they didnt have the original 4 iron I wanted.
