| Andrew: I think you will be pleasently surprised that the hype surrounding how difficult a 2 iron is to hit is a little exaggerated. I currently game the Titleist ZB and used to have the Ping i5. It's my go to club when I stand on the tee box and I feel fear in my loins at the view before me.

| Andrew & Alvin: My theory is as follows - If I'm looking to protect or hit a target score for the day/hole, I'll only take the driver on the tee box for par 4's in excess of 400 m. Ratinale being that the 2 iron gives me 190 - 205 m and a 90% probability of being in the fairway. With that in mind, even if its a 400m par 4, at most I'll hit 2 x 2 irons and if the 2nd shot isn't accurate, it's 1 chip and at most 2 putss for a bogey. I'd take that rather than being in the jungle or water or losing a ball with a way ward driver or 3 wood. Bear in mind that this is my opinion and isn't gospel. |

| I salute you guys. I have hung up my 3 and 4 irons already. Using hybrid replacement. If hole too tight, I will just pull off my 3 wood or 5 wood to tee off instead. Just can't handle the long irons well.

| I have found hitting a 4 hybrid much easier than a 4 iron and same with the 3 iron and hybrid. Find that it is easier to get the ball airborne. Isn't that why people are using hybrids instead of long irons? |

| Perhaps we can continue the long iron discussion on the next thread rather than digress from Eden's original post of the best 3 wood combo? |
