NIKE Forged Blades 2 IRON

[williethekid]

Anyone know why golfsmith, golf galaxy, etc. doesn't offer this club? Did nike stop making the tour blades? or at least the 1 and 2 irons?

Very few players carry a 2-Iron or a 1-Iron anymore. It's widely believed that most who do, shouldn't. Tiger doesn't even carry his 2-Iron most of the time anymore. Part of this could be a function of age; if he were able to stay, say, 25 forever, perhaps he would still carry it.

I suspect Nike still makes the clubs. Your local golf store might be able to order one for you if you really want it... I maintain that 1-Irons should still be sold and not count towards the 14-club limit, as long as you don't hit it during the round. You know, in case of a lightning storm, gotta have the right safety equipment.

Tiger carries his 2-iron every round. That's his iron stinger club.

He has been known to replace it with a 5-Wood from time to time.

[Gregoire]

No he doesn't. Most tournaments he plays in he replaces it with a 5 wood. He brought it back for the US open, and also last year's British Open

Tiger does not carry his 2-iron every round. He rarely carries it - about 20% of the time, at most. He's switched to a 5-wood for high, soft shots into par fives, sometimes off the tee, etc. He can hit a stinger 3W, too.

So no, he doesn't.

Hmm thanks, I know he had it at the AT & T. When I first started playing ~6months ago I used long irons off the tee because my driver was unpredictable. Yesterday played 9 and hit 3 iron off of almost every tee. Consistently 200+ yards with no chance of being in the thick stuff, shot 5 over with a triple (lost ball because I hit driver once) for 9 holes, pretty happy with that. Only time I ever have a tough time hitting long irons is on a downslope in the rough, would a hybrid really help my chances of making good contact more. I haven't found a hybrid that is to my liking. Too many push hooks, or as the case with the 585H high high shots.

[Spectrums]

I could have swore he did.

Maybe he used too.

[RichF]

I could have swore he did.

Yep - he used the 2-iron on all four days at the USPGA last month.

[VanillaEps]

Tiger's Bag

At the last tournament, he carried a 2 iron.

If you click on each of the last tournaments, he's been carrying a 2 iron for a while.

[RichF]

He carried it during the 3 Fed-Ex Cup tournamewnts he played...but hardly used it - always saw him with either driver or 3-wood...probably due to fairways being a lot softer than in USPGA.
