Cheers mate for your answer!:)
Since you're not playing as much I understand where you're coming from! The hybrids used to be a weapon, though as of late they aren't as fun as they used to be for me. Thus the long iron vs driving iron 🙂
Nice, but the hybrid is not my weapon anymore. Good point on the puttchipping in the rough +1! 😄 the 3 wood Callaway XR Pro works wonders for that.
Love this one. It's like we are the same, hehe. Interesting arguments for the 2 iron!
As a little update I were on the course and range with a Trackman machine today and concluded that the long iron is the choice for Vega!
Let me explain: I don't really do much of the stats and numbers since guts and feel comes first for me (heck, sometimes a half 4 iron from 170 yards is the gun of choice just because it feels right. Sounds weird but it works!;)).
Anyways, since the Trackman was there we looked at the stats even thought it's not my first choice. Only to settle my internal disputes sometimes! The Driving 2i went 265 on average with a Graphite shaft. Driving 3 only a few yards shorter with steel TP DG X100.
Now for the fun part which gave me the conclusion that a weak 2i was the answer. It clocked in at 256 average, 2 degrees weak somehow ended up at 258 (guess the airtime has more effect than previously thought:P).
So the weak 2 iron is the choice. BUT a new configuration depending on course, ie a short Park course does not need the 2 iron. There an 19 degree fairway will be added to the setup.
