Which of the 2 irons do you think looks the best? Callaway, Titleist, Cobra or TaylorMade?
I would take the cobra! excuse me ignorance! why not use a 3hybrid instead of one of these?
Taylormade
I’m thinking titelist. Also, I think you should do something with juniors.
What is your app for you shot tracer
Taylor Made
You did that sped up rewind of your first 2 iron swing and I definitely thought you slammed the club on the ground for a second lol
I thought that too lol
Same
This
Definitely thought we were watching an uncharacteristic Rick meltdown.
Timestamp?
1:23 I thought you were slamming your club on the ground 😂
Definitely lol
Whoever is doing the editing on the videos is KILLINNG ITT 🏌️♂️
I’ve been loving the videos lately Rick! You continue to put out great content and it doesn’t go unnoticed. Keep up the great work Rick!
Haha love the vids Rick, love the fact that you are always changing clubs and finding what works best for you. If only I had the money for that 😂😂
I have the U510 and that thing has been an absolute beast. Very reliable and my favorite club in the bag!
Great Edits Rick!! I really appreciate the amount if effort you put in to the videos. Great work and keep it up!!
That's such a cool driving range. Never seen anything like it near me!
You should try the Wilson staff 2 iron that Gm golf has
I have it. It's okay. It's not very forgiving. Catching it on the toe results in the ball going about 10 feet. And the sweet spot is really close to hosel.
@@ctubridy Rick is a pretty good golfer though.
I have it in my bag super easy to hit and I get like 250 carry out of it.

@@rorylindholm6811 Rick is looking for more forgiving clubs these days, though-not game improvement clubs, but player's clubs with forgiveness in mind.
Some of my favorite videos of Rick’s are long iron reviews! I have the previous generation cobra king utility set at 2 iron loft and I love that club!
Nice to see you putting them all through their paces! In lockdown in France at the moment, so no golf for a Month!! Good to have your videos to watch!
RICK, this is the EXACT video I’ve been looking for! You’re awesome man!
Hello I love your videos keep doing what you do! I’m a 13 year old golfer and your videos help so much!
Hey, Mizuno needs some love too!
I play the MP-20 2-iron and love it. Soft feel (duh, it’s a Mizuno) and can draw, fade and hit stingers.
And srixon!
Sad to see that beautiful 2 iron from Wilson Staff overlooked again. That thing is great.
Srixon has had some great utilities lately too, sad to not see them here.
I have the 18 degree staff model. Incredible golf club.
Agree with this one.. the Wilson Staff Model Utility 18° is much better.. watch Michael Newtons comparison of the Wilson vs the MP-20 HMB and you'll believe.
Exactly. I had the gapR then tried the wilson and immediately made the switch. Feels so pure.
Sadly ego gets in the way of pretty much all TH-cam golfers. It's not PRO enough to put in the video.
Another great video to view! I love the filming and editing! I follow other golf channels too, but Rick's videos are by far the best filmed and edited videos. 👍
Love my Mizuno MP5, 2 iron is such a great 'discipline' club, no funny business, and all your other clubs feel easy like wedges once you can strike a 2 iron.
I've got the Srixon ZU85 2I in my bag, and I love it!
👍 glad of the outcome of this video! I’ve got u500 3 iron... absolute rocket 🚀 love it so much
You really needed to try the Wilson Staff 18 degree 2 iron! Would highly recommend!!
Keep up this great content. Love the video editing. Thanks Rick.
Love these types of videos! Great job Rick! :)
Great video once again. I picked up a MP-14 two-iron off of eBay years ago just to hang it on my wall. When I found my ball keep hitting branches trying to escape under the trees, I decided to give the 2-iron a try. It’s been in my bag ever since. It’s a special occasion tool like my 60 degree wedge and it simply gets me out of trouble and lets me play the next shot from where I want.
i feel you man i love using my 2 iron but if i’m real i use my 60 degree almost every hole when i’m just outside the green lol
I'm playing Wilson Utility 2 , 18 degrees with an Event Flow 90
stiff shaft . Just loving it .
Great advice as usual. As a new golfer with hand me down clubs, it’s hard to justify spending big money on new gear just cause it’s new. As time goes on, I guess technology does improve, so it’s cool to see old vs new.
I have the p790 2 udi and love it. You have reviewed it in past obviously. I just love the iron I get great flight out of it and it feels great.
I have been using my 2i GAPR-Hi for a few seasons and I can't say I have ever asked this question since. That thing is a beauty.
Love the vids Rick, keep em coming
Titleist u500
I put one the bag this year and it’s my favourite club. An absolute rocket
Yesssss Rick I need to get a driving iron this helps so much!!💣
Timed this perfectly for me, wanted the Titleist U500 after trying it but was unsure about all the other utility irons but this confirmed U500 for the win! 💪🏌️♂️
I'm convinced I need a 2 iron especially for the tight tee boxes, will have a look at the cobra as I like chunky 😁
Have to say I bought the cobra with the steel KBS shaft in stiff and while a lovely feel it just went a bit high for me as I want to use it at my links course. However, I had managed to get a Miyazaki Tour Issue 105g xstiff shaft and after contacting cobra they very kindly sent me an adapter so I could try that in it. Wow! What a change in flight and spin. It is now an absolute bullet of a club and the adjustability is an added extra. Suppose what I am saying is that unless you are using the same shaft in all the 2 irons then a true comparison is difficult . Love the fact that driving irons are swing a resurgence though and great review rick.
Love the video Rick.I think one of your best produced videos.Well done Sir.
Was just looking at getting a 2iron so this video will help thanks Rick
I always love the look of titleist!! Wish I could hit a 2i anywhere near as good as you Rick 👍🏻👍🏻
Been working with my freeway clubs, might need one of these in the bag! Good video
Love that course played it for the 1st time about 2 weeks ago definitely best one I've played yet 👌🏌️♂️⛳💯🔥
Rick I have the u510 and by far it’s my favorite club. I rarely use my m6 driver bc I hit my 2 iron 250-260 carry. Absolutely recommend the Titleist
Hey Rick! Love your videos so much, and after watching this last one I had an idea: what if you made the shot tracker colours correspond to the type of flight path the ball takes? For example blue shot tracker for a draw, red for a fade, and yellow for straight shots. Just a thought, as it would make it obvious what type of shot you hit even on clips that aren’t filmed from directly behind you. Cheers from Canada ❤️
I play the cobra 2 iron off 18 hcp and love it! not going to lie it’s great sometimes looking down at a chunky club when you need to hit a tight fairway!
I've heard lots of good things about the Srixon 2 iron. Would love to see that one given the Rick Shiels treatment!
I have 1 lol never played a single successful shot on it . The Sxiron ZU85
That was a really great video with great editing. Truly enjoyable to watch. I don’t think I could fit a 2 iron in my bag but I should at least hit some to see.
I've got a PING 410 2-iron. Played Education City Championship (Qatar Masters) Course today. On 18th tee, 560yds uphill. Hit 2-iron off the tee & again from the fairway... stuck it on the back of the green (570yds). Brilliant club!
I love my Titleist U-510 1 iron!
Love the look of the cobra, that's why I've ordered one!
I love the sim one I have tested it and it is so pure to hit. My favourite is the sim defo.
Wow, stepping up the production. With voiceovers and reverse shots, and I’m only 3 minutes in 😂😂👍🏼👍🏼
Seeing your videos, I bought the callaway 2 iron prototype utility looked like you enjoyed it. Thanks for the tips.Hope to follow in your footsteps and sting one at the crossbar at Trafford
got the x forged myself, such a workable and surprisingly forgiving 2 iron.
Love that 1st hole....A real tester....
I love my Mizuno MP60 2 iron. Part of a complete set 2-P. Not a "utility" iron; it's just a stronger 3 iron.
I’m one of the few dinosaurs in my club who still uses traditional MP33 blades, that includes a 2-iron. And yes, still use it regularly on Par 5s and off the tee on tight fairways. It carries 235yds but can be pretty unforgiving on off centre strikes. I sometimes think of getting a more modern variant, but they all look really chunky!
Check out the P790 UDI. One of the best I found that didn't really LOOK like a utility club.
Actually like the look of the TaylorMade best of all of them, but I understand about not being able to get it up high enough in the air . I hit long irons myself, and most of the people I play with avoid them, but I really enjoy hitting the long irons well. In Florida sometimes we have some deep moist rough and you really need to rescue club to get out of them, otherwise I wouldn't carry one. I'm kind of simple anyway, I only carry one wedge.
Let me also say that I have actually applied three individual tips that you've given, and I have cut my handicap in half. That's the truth; I really appreciate it.
Great video as usual rick 👍🏌️♀️⛳️
I have the Titleist U500 2 iron and still waiting to gain a bit of confidence in it on the course rip it on the range however Gunna take it out and hit it of every tee and get used to it
The new sim udi is fantastic. Played it since it came out replaced my 790UDI- much more forgiving
I think you discovered what sells golf clubs... everyone wants something new but, unless their clubs are extremely old, newer clubs may not make much of a difference. I like the side-by-side comparison. That’s probably something we all should do. Great video, especially the editing and the drone work. Cheers!!
RIck - not sure what is different about the camera work on this video, but I could really see the ball flight much better than most of your other videos. Really cool and very enjoyable to watch. Like you, I went Titliest U500 without trying any others. Will have to give the SIM a go as well. Great vid!
I have no problem hitting my Taylormade 2 iron UDI high or low... I rip it with a 220 is carry - feel like butter off the face love it
There's also the Srixon ZU85 - gorgeous looks and feel, surprisingly forgiving
Got the Titleist in the bag. Had it a few weeks and loving it with one exception, the grip it came with was really cheap which is a shame for a club close to £200. I even got fitted at a Titleist centre who fitted me out with some T200’s earlier in the year so they know what grips I like.
@3:07 great visual work. Next step, combine the image, or at least the flight with colors after the 4-way view. Love the channel.
Titleist is in my bag - love it!
Rick you should test the Wilson Staff 2 iron. It looks great, feels great, and can shape the ball on demand. I really like it. Have a great day and keep up the awesome videos!
I have the u500 in 4 iron and 2 iron with atmos black 95 X shafts. Did my best rounds this year (78, 3 times) when switching my driver out for the 2 iron.
The editing on this video is amazing
Have been looking into getting a 2/3 iron combo as my 4s head flew off into the drink so I'm missing something I can smash 200+ once my local golf town allows for test fitting I'll take a look then. Appreciate the vid rick!
Great video Rick! Would love to see the srixion and pxg utility irons in the future !
Would definitely have included the Srixon U85 2 iron in this test
Top job as always Rick👏👍
Your videos have help my game tremendously... Why is it we never see anyone else on the golf course?
I tried the Titliest and Taylor Made when I was looking. Bought the Taylor Made, it’s been great for me.
I use my dads old set of clubs, he used to enjoy golf somewhat but he is much too competitive for his skill level, he can never take it easy and just play so he doesn't anymore. He has a 2 iron in there and while he was a great driver hitter he couldn't hit a 3 wood off the fairway and wasn't exactly a great iron player so basically his 2 iron was his longest club after the tee box. I know he has absolutely ripped that thing, the grip is super worn and falling apart, he was probably muscling that thing to like 280, I know he could carry a driver to like 330 if he really wanted. It's just funny to see how all his clubs are in pretty good condition but his 2 iron looks like it's been through a war. I love that club
Picked up the cobra about a month ago and love it. It’s a rocket
I'm liking the Taylormade SIM UDI. Kinda like an instant stinger shot with a little more loft and carry
I gotta say the ball flight of the Cobra was amazing. Well I should say looked amazing.
All the irons look nice in their own way,some slightly more fancy looking.The thing is most golfers will not be able to hit a 2 iron well but nice to see when hit by a pro.certainly a thing of beauty.Incidently how cool to hit a ball into water deliberately.
I use the Titleist TMB 2 iron and it is my favorite club by a country mile.
Another great video from the champ.
If Micah Morris was watching he would feel disrespected that you didn’t put in the ‘Magic Two Iron.’ 😂
Hi Rick, surprised that the Wilson option (which is the best of the lot IMO) or the Mizuno didn't get a look in here...
This is an awesome video. Titleist looks best in my opinion. So clean with dual tone.
Nice review as always Rick.
Wondering if you might review some very light drivers, those around 250-260g total, instead of the usual 310g ?
I agree with not trying to fix what’s not broken, but it’s so hard to not want to tinker a bit to see if you could be missing out on something better.
Are we building up to a WITB? Still gaming my own “Old Blue-ie”, (bagged my first ever Eagle last week), but those Titleist fairway woods are very tempting! Great review, keep up the great work.
Can you test the Wilson launch pad irons?
Read my mind, I've been researching 2 irons this week! Need a utility iron in my bag!
Recently bought the Srixon forged ZU85 2 iron for shorter par 4’s after finding how easy it was to hit especially off the tee and given its price £129 it’s a great club. There is a new one out the ZX but don’t think it’s available to buy until 2021
I love my U500 2 iron as well.
Should really give the Wilson utility iron a try! It quickly became one of my most used clubs
Love mine, original Ben Hogan Apex 2002 fitted with x100 xs shaft.
I love my u-500. Goes about 265-270. Easy to hit when the driver isn’t behaving
Driving range into that pond looked great 👍
Great video! Have you done one comparing 2 irons against similar lofted utility clubs?
My golf coach recommended Rick to me, have to say, Rick did not disappoint.
Hey Rick! Been looking around on the internet and came across Lynx . They make a prowler VT driving iron in 12.5 and 16 degrees. They look really good!
Great video Rick!
The 2 iron is a very unique club that is something that I have wanted to use. Seems neat.
I have the SIM DHY and I think it’s the most versatile club I’ve ever used
It’s so hot off the face. Lots of pop
How so?
@@RockyStatue I can hit it high and low when I want. It’s very good off the tee I can hit a big high draw or a low punch fade with it. Has great feel off the face it’s VERY HOT off the face. Highly recommend people try it. I got the 3i option which is 19° and I got the 75g stiff flex graphite shaft.
@@sebastianheine378 100% it is a HOT club.
i have the dhy #2 and is absolutly a killer from the tee and the turf. but i keep as well a sim udi #3 for his unique lower trajectory. in windy days makes the difference and is perfect for a stinger shot.
