Well i have never really liked hybrids or fairway woods, most of the time on tight par 4's i like teeing off with my 3 iron. It is very acurate for me, i am at 95% fairways hit with it this year. And i can hit it very good from the fairway on long par 5's. Well i want a 2 iron now but unfortunatly my set doesnt offer one, so are there any you would reccomend? I am thinking mizuno

mizuno don't make 2i's
you can get a titleist CB 2i.

Have you actually tried hybrids though? mizuno make some really nice players hybrids.

I've heard that modern 2's are tough to hit since irons have been de-lofted over the years.
Titleist stay pretty traditional with their lofts so you might be in luck, forgiveness won't be too good.

Is a 2i worth a spot in your bag? you won't be able to hit it in the rough, only off the tee or perfect lies on the fairway.
A hybrid can be hit from anywhere.

Find out the loft on your current 3i. As previously posted, it may be closer to the loft of old school 2 irons than you think, making a modern 2 closer to a 1i.

I carry a 2 and use it frequently. But I'm not normal, I carried an old Ping Eye 2 1 iron for more than a decade and hit it off the tee all the time, finally switching to a hybrid a just few years ago. Hitting a 1i off the first tee was, I admit, kinda fun and turned a few heads.

If your current 3i has a standard 3i loft, find an older model 2i to accompany it. Probably won't match your set, so be prepared for that if it's an issue for you.

The Callaway 2008 Pocket Reference Guide shows a 2-iron for both the X Forged and X20 Tour iron sets. Loft for both was 18*.

A quick check on Callaway Preowned, however, came up with no 2-irons for sale from either set. Might call Callaway, see what's left in the components bin.

Another option: Mizuno has the Hi-Fli hybrid irons in 2, 3, and 4. The HF 2i has an 18* loft.

Or, you could try one of the Ping 2-irons. Ping 2i and 3i went into the bags of lots of tour pros back in the 1980s.

Focus, connect and follow through!

I think you can get a MP 60 2i. I know that you can get a MP 67 2i. As far as 2i, I'm with you.

Why have you written this? They do.

And you can also get aMizuno MP Fli-Hi 2 iron.

In the race of life, always back self-interest. At least you know it's trying.

There was a guy looking for a 2i before.

None of the new sets have 2i's is what I've heard. Checked the website and they don't offer 2i's

JB you are right. None of the sets they CURRENTLY produce includes a 2-iron.

So shorty, why has he written this? Because they don't. If you want to find a Mizuno 2 iron you have to look for a set that they stopped producing. Plus, according to Mizuno, the MP Fli Hi is a mix between hybrid and iron rather than an actual iron.

Have you considered having your 3 iron loft decreased a degree or two?

Good solution...2 irons are usually 2 degrees stronger than a 3 iron. Since you only have three degrees between your 6 and 7, you could make that 4 degrees and bump everything after that a degree stronger (5, 4, 3) and now your 3 iron is only one degree off from a 2. Or just buy a GI 2 iron with 18 degrees and just bomb it...

    • StuM,  I have, in the past, added a left handed club. (Ususally a 7 iron) However, I usually take a stroke penalty and move the ball to where I want it.  I play for fun and in a pinch can use theback side if my club if I don't want the penalty stroke.    RetiredOldMan,  Terry 
    • So, Brendan Sorsby, Texas Tech transfer QB, was found guilty of sports betting by the NCAA. He admitted to it. He placed thousands of bets over multiple years while at Indiana and Cincinnati. This included betting on his own teams.  The NCAA rules ban athletes from betting on any sport (college or pro).  A retired visiting judge from Tarrant County, Texas has put an injunction on the NCAA ruling. He is a visiting judge because the first judge was a graduate and big fan of Texas Tech, and he recused himself. The judged ruled the following... "Under Curry's order, Sorsby is permitted to play for Texas Tech's 2026 season on the condition that he continues his treatment for a gambling and anxiety disorder and serves a two-game suspension (missing games against Abilene Christian and Oregon State)."  Don't get me wrong, I don't particularly care for the NCAA. That still doesn't mean that a college can choose when or where to say, "Yea we agree to these rules for all our sports, well except in this case." Here is a breakdown from S&W. The Hidden Weapon in Sorsby’s Injunction: How a Lubbock County Court Order Quietly Neutralized the NCAA’s Most Powerful Enforcement Tool - Law Offices of Snell & Wilmer By Ryan J. Regula On June 8, 2026, Lubbock County District Court Judge Ken Curry issued a temporary injunction in Brendan Sorsby v. National Collegiate Athletic Association, Cause No. DC-2026-CV-0791 (99th Judicial District... The main judgement made sense. Sorsby, I am going to have all this harm done to me if I don't get to play. The Judge, I agree. The penalty for gambling is too harsh, so here are all these things you must do, and I will grant this injunction against the NCAA. Basically, an analogy would be when a person goes into court for a DUI and they agree to all these other things to not end up in jail.  What sucks for the NCAA is the NCAA has appealed to Texas’ Seventh Court of Appeals, based in Amarillo. All four justices that preside over the court are graduates of Texas Tech University School of Law. It would be hilarious if all four of them had to recuse themselves 🤣. For those who like to read legal rulings...  
    • The chatter in my brain is when the distance is between clubs since I am pretty weak at shortened backswings, etc. I try to simply decide if being long or short is the better outcome and choose my club based on that and simply not even try for the “real” distance.  For me a full normal swing is what I strive for.
    • I saw this comment made in a golf article... "Most golfers stand over a 4- or 5-iron still negotiating with themselves. They think about how hard to swing, whether they have the right club, if they have the aim correct and more. It’s a lot to deal with and long irons punish the “half-in” golf swing." I am not sure the "most golfers" is correct regarding the bolded part. I can understand if there is a bunker, water, and/or OB that a lot of golfers would be fixated on that. I am not sure that leads to ending up more times there. Pending your level in golf, the variance is so large in outcomes, it could be just with in the expected outcomes. I can understand if have a big lake on the right side of the hole being one of the most terrifying shots for right-handed amateur golfers.  I am not sure many golfers are standing over the ball talking to themselves, "Ok, maybe I should step back and pull the 4-iron. Am I lined up right? Oh, the wind came up, should I swing harder? What am I going to have for dinner tonight, maybe steak. (Joking, somewhat 😛)" A question is that how much chatter do you get while standing over the ball. Are you questioning the everything about your golf shot?
