I'm mid fifties and play to a 16 handicap, (like many of us and watch the Golf Chanel) so it's said amatures can't or shouldn't hit a 2 iron.
I had to try it in my learning process.
I'm glad I did.
The club is very manageable, has a solid feeling through the ball (without the sting when off center like the old blades) , and plays well from the fairways. Off the tee it is impressive, providing 220 - 230 yards (for me), without any vein popping swings.
I recenlty played it on a very windy day and it allowed great workablility against tough conditions. I do have 2 hybrids, but I can work this iron around a tree with the greatest of ease.
I chose a True Temper TX90 shaft for this club head. I wanted very low torque, the ability to hit "punch" shots under and or around obstacles, while still being able to get the ball up in the air when necessary. It has proven to be very playable and a great asset for longer courses.
