I have been searching to find the difference between these 2 and can't seem to find anything. TM website only has the LT's specifications and those are also the ones reviewed in Golf Digest. So my question is,,, where do the LT2's come in?

I am torn between the LT2 and Callaway 06 big bertha right now as well.

Did you read our review ?

Come to think of it, I'm not sure there's much of a difference (if any?) But I'll get an answer...

Yes actually right after I started this thread. It was very informative about the LT but I still did not see a description of the difference between the 2 clubs.

The LT2 - which TaylorMade has never actually called the "2," just the "LT" - is a little more forgiving than the first version (the "LT").

That's the official answer.

Thanks for the help. Now I just need to determine for myself If I can handle "player irons" or not. I am coming from the LCG's and they seem very similiar but don't know if I should go for them or not. Similated today and the best was the Callaway BB 06, hit a 6 iron straight 195 yds avgd 180 and a draw or straight.

The LT's I hit really well as well and think I can learn more with them in the next few years. But I have a problem getting shots up in the air in the past. Decisions decisions. Thanks for helping a newbie out. More forgiving is what I actually hoped for.

Ed Koster is around a 12 handicap on a good day, a 14-16 on a not-so-good day. His driver gets him in the most trouble, though, and his short game is suspect. With his irons, he's around a 12 handicap. He uses the irons.

I don't know if the LTs count as "player" irons. And if you can't get shots in the air, they have a lot of weight pretty low. If you hit your 6-iron 180, then you should be able to get anything up in the air...

I wouldn't worry about these clubs. I've tried them out extensively in a simulator and at the range and found them very easy to hit. If you have anything resembling a decent and consistent swing, these clubs will be no problem getting the ball in the air.

Yeah, as a mid-teen handicapper, I think you'd "outgrow" the BB '06s pretty quickly. A friend of mine is a mid-teen guy, and just got the LT2s. Played a few days ago... after a 190 yard 4-iron to the center of the green, he fell in love with his irons. I'd say the BBs are good for someone in the mid-20's and up... someone having a hard time getting consistent contact and getting the ball in the air.

you should go for the mp 30's, they are so easy to hit, light, in other words their like almost the same things as the "lt2" but forged, better feeling, thinner topline, and mizuno. lol about the mizuno part. but you should try these, if you can hit the lt's fine, then the mp 30's will be even better.

I have found a really good set of them But I would want to test them out as I have never even hit a set of any Mizuno's. well I guess I will go to the golf store again today.

I found one set in all of Toledo and I did like the way that they were weighted and looked. I also liked the "feel" in my swing, thought I would be able to read my shots better with them. However (and this might be in my head) I felt I was missing the lower center of gravity that the cavity backs have that I usally hit with.

I definetly think that if my swing matures the way I hope it does in about 3 or 4 yrs I will be in the market for a forged set. Right now I am going to go with the LT2's regular flex steel.

I think the reason you didn't like the mp30's because the shaft were probably not good for you. They are really pleasant with the flighted rifles and feel solid. Anyways the LT2 are excellent choice as well, I hope you like them

P.S. Are you going to get the stock rifle shafts with the lt2's, they are really nice

yep they are "off the rack" clubs. I hit them really well in the simulator and can't wait to get them out on the range. Hopefully they get here tomorrow so I can use them this weekend, otherwise I should have them Monday or Tuesday (right before week 2 of league)

      2026 US Open

      By saevel25 · Posted

      The criticisms are starting already 🤣 U.S. Open pro criticizes Shinnecock green conditions: 'Bumpy' After playing his first practice round at the 2026 U.S. Open, Michael Kim offered a less-than-glowing review of Shinnecock's "bumpy" greens.   The sand, I don't care about that. If the greens didn't come back as well for latest aerification, that would be a bit of a blunder on Shinnecock I think.

      Andy Plummer on Abduction and Adduction

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      Well, if your frame of reference spins twice during the swing, then Bryson's ab/adduction is more like 780 degrees so there! (Yes I'm being silly, but not sure it's any sillier than what your pal Andy is doing...)

      Brendan Sorsby Sports Betting

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Update: Brandon Sorsby has decided to enter the NFL Supplemental Draft. He will not play for Texas Tech in the upcoming season.  From my perspective, I think he did the right thing. I hope he gets the correct help for his gambling addiction. I say the right thing, because I would be worried that the stress from all of this now and throughout the entire year would not be beneficial towards his mental health.  If an NFL team picks him up, then there really isn't any pressure for him to play immediately. He can work on himself and his game for the NFL.  From Texas Tech,  "Texas Tech will continue to provide the support and recovery resources Brendan requires on this journey. Furthermore, Texas Tech will not seek return of any amounts already paid to Brendan through his NIL agreements with the University," Campbell wrote. "We wish our best to Brendan, and we offer our prayers to him and his family as he chases his dreams at the next level. This has been an unbelievably painful experience for us all, but I know that his true, underlying character and lessons learned through this experience will ultimately bring him great success on the field of play and in life." Which, I also the right thing to do.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      So, something I noticed yesterday at the range. My eyes and visualization of what the ball needs to do is way off. I put up an alignment stick about 10 yards down range. My initial thought was, "Oh crap". Even while wearing prescription sunglasses, and I know I am hitting it towards the sun, I couldn't pick up where the ball was at all.

      Andy Plummer on Abduction and Adduction

      By iacas · Posted

      Oh man. As you can see above, Manavian mocked me for not realizing they were getting the 130° from BOTH shoulders. Apparently, though, Manavian is also wrong, as Andy said I was lying when I cited what Manavian had written: The next thing Andy says that's both accurate and clearly stated will be the first. I replied to that post with something like: Tell Manavian who said "only counting the abduction/adduction of one shoulder rather than 2." One of the issues with “bad” information is that y’all can’t even get on the same page. You've not shown that Bryson has 130° range of motion in either shoulder separately P1 to P7. I’ve shown the numbers. You’ve name-called and just said “nuh uh” repeatedly. Did you see the AMG IG video? Of course you have. Wrapping your head around the distance the shoulder travels yet, Andy? Andy later commented to explain how he got his range of motion number (apologies to whoever @iacac and @icaca are on Instagram, who are going to be wondering just what in the hell they've gotten themselves into). Oh boy. Adding the numbers in one direction and then adding them again going back is not a "range" of motion. If I can bend my knees 140°, I don't claim to have 280° range of motion because I have two knees nor because I can also extend my knees 140° after bending them. Bryson (with a driver, again — I used his iron swing) abducts about 65° (and bends his elbow a ton) with the driver. Then he adducts 50… and then another 15°… to end up right back where he started. This is exactly the equivalent of saying that I bend my knees 140° and then straighten them, creating a range of 280°. It's so silly I don't even have much of a response. It falls down completely on its own. It doesn't need even a nudge.
