I've been thinking about getting a driving iron, I currently play a Nike VRS 21º looking to get a driving iron to replace it. I'm looking for one with some forgiveness and easy to hit. I'm a pretty good ball striker, I saw Cobra drops a new Utility Iron on May 1st but not sure if you'd qualify that as a driving iron though, Let me know what you guys think.

Why do you think you need a driving iron? Does your hybrid go to high or a you looking for something to switch out with the hybrid every once in a while?

I'm looking to have something that i can switch out and i also hit my hybrid a little too high for windy days. Last couple of times I've gone out its been a tough wind and my hybrid just gets lost but I don't have my 3 iron in commission right now either.

nike just released a vapor fly pro 2 iron with a loft of 17 degrees or a 3 iron with 19 degrees of loft. both are available separate

My vote is the Tour Edge CB Pro H. Hot face and forgiving. I've cracked a couple 250 plus yarders with mine. As poor as I hit a driver it could replace it.

A 15 degree loft FW will keep your ball at a lower loft than your 21 degree hybrid and from my own experience give you better distance than a driving iron would.

Not sure this is going to work out for the OP, as you're talking about 6 degrees and 2-4 inches more club than a 21 degree hybrid. Plus ball flight on a FW is usually pretty high anyway. It doesn't get it any lower than a hybrid?

I have noticed that I do indeed get high lofts with my 3 FW when I set up with the ball positioned in front of my left foot, but I can get lower lofts when I set up with the ball more towards my right foot

This is more normal, but inside the left foot by a couple balls or so. I don't recommend the other way.

Good videos. I also watched the video he made on the Adams DHY and he likes the Adams DHY better than the Taylormade UDI

    • Is it? I bought the Stack radar to replace my PRGR based on what Stack told me! When I am swinging for speed, the PRGR would miss 50%-80% of my backswings due to a higher speed. The stack seldom misses those- at least for me.
    • As an analyst by nature, I would like to compare the scores under both systems. It is something we can easily do if we have the data. I actually thought the new system was less fair to those whose game was on the decline - like mine! Old: Best 10 of last 20 scores with the .96 multiplier. Course handicap excluded course rating and overall par. New: Best 8/20. Course handicap includes course rating -par. My understanding is Stableford caps scores at Net double bogey like stroke play. If so, handicap should be slower to rise because you are only using 8 versus 10 scores. If I am missing something, I am curious enough to  want to understand what that may be. My home course tees that I play are 72.1/154 now. My best score out here is 82. When my game started to decline, my handicap didn’t budge for 13 rounds because of good scores in my first 8! I know I am an anomaly but my handicap has increased almost 80% in the past few years (with only a few rounds this year). For a few months I knew I was losing every bet because my game was nowhere near my handicap. I suspect I have steamrolled a few nuances but that shouldn’t matter much. When I have modeled this with someone playing the same tees and course, one good round, or return to form, will immediately reduce the handicap by some amount.
