A'r ddweud, I received a club from Taylor Made almost didn't bother testing it because I just know historically I've always struggled with this golf club but you know what maybe I was wrong. So before I get on to my preconceptions in terms of golf clubs I want to know what yours are so down below in the comments I've got a club in my hand what do you think it is what do you think is probably the one club that the majority of golfers, certainly average golfers would never go near because they simply don't think they've got the capability to use it. Right this is the club in hand that is not the one I'm going to review but it is played heavily in terms of the demise of the club that I'm going to review this is of course a hybrid and the introduction of hybrids has really been a killer of the said club but this is a two hybrid it's 17 degrees we're playing off the T and in theory this should be far easier than the club in question but you know what it just might be that this new model from Taylor Made has changed things significantly and maybe a two and three hybrid can be challenged by a different club in the bag one that you'd never expect. Yeah so in recent years we've seen the resurgence of driving irons and that's what I have in my hand from Taylor Made it's their P790 UDI it's a two iron like I said two or three years ago I'd have never gone near this thing because it's literally well it looks like a bit of a butter knife it's a two iron it's got 17 degrees worth of loft on it we just don't like long irons anymore but I think with these kind of the way in which technology has changed particularly with the sort of foam filled hollow body irons we've seen in recent years from and a Callaway have got one in their range they're like the Strix and Springs to mine tight list again I've got one in their range and obviously this P790 has been right at that forefront it looks absolutely stunning it's the kind of club that I would really like to have in my bag but I'm always scared off because like I said my preconception of this is I can't go anywhere near it because I cannot get the numbers out of it that I want I'll struggle to launch it all the kind of things we'd associate with average golfers trying to play two irons but let me tell you what you're about to see in terms of numbers and performance from me is there could be a bit of a shift that suggests that maybe some of us at least can consider putting this in the bag I'm going to start eating some balls collect some data and I'll share with you why I think the resurgence of driving irons might mean it can make the way into your bag right so the plan is this I'm going to collect data with the two iron and then I've also got the two hybrid they're identical in terms of the loft but the natural things we would expect or I would expect at least anyway is a two hybrid will probably launch higher I would imagine it would go further I imagine I'd get greater ball speeds out of it they're all the things that and I haven't hit the two hybrid yet but I have got data off of this two iron which is the bit that surprised me and led me into this video to be honest with you but what I wanted to talk about was I mean that address it's exactly what you'd expect I mean it's you know it's it's almost it's a blade like iron almost there's a bit of a heavier top line because again it's got that sort of p790 top line about it but there's nothing behind the ball whatsoever and it's the kind of club that we're kind of scared of but and I was scared of it but what I did when I started to it a few balls and we'll start off with let's just get one going but you hear the crack out of it I've absolutely buttoned that to be fair the biggest shock that I had I'll give you these numbers in a second to the biggest shock that I had was the ball flight I'm playing this off of a little bit of a tea and I think we'll talk about flexibility of the club shortly that's just got 87 clubhead speed ball speeds 128 204 carry launched at 18 degrees they're kind of numbers that first of all shocked me I'm not associating a two iron with those kind of numbers and trust me I've it now whatever it is eight to ten balls and we've got similar kind of numbers the consistency has been good but the other interesting thing is kind of like how it sounds and feels I love a long iron I think with this kind of forged hollow body it it's exactly the same as what you get out of the regular p790 it's not pure forged for me there's a little bit of a click in there but it's okay you know it's more than acceptable and I'd rather be hitting this than a hybrid if you can hit one of these pure and believe me that lost shock that I just hit was absolutely out of the screws then it's a great great feeling but like I said the biggest shock is the fact that how can this thing be launching at 18 degrees and carrying 204 I mean yet again that's absolutely buttoned I will say as well there is a magical tip that's been going on in our tip series is absolutely my transform my iron striking right now so if you've not been watching them go and check out our test in the tip series because honestly I've been trying some of these tips out myself out there on the cause any again this morning and it's made a massive difference to what I'm doing but anyway we're not on about that but maybe maybe that's why I'm striking a 2 iron better than I could ever believe and hit this I'm just going to switch over very quickly into that hybrid and explain to you what the differences are and why you might choose one over the other right so very much back to where we started this video and this is the long iron killer it's that hybrid and believe me over recent years and maybe I don't know what it is now 10 or 15 years maybe more than that the introduction of this has made golf so much easier for a majority of average golfers and the idea of playing a 17 degree club would certainly be hybrid over long iron and when you place them behind a ball the first thing is the confidence level I mean obviously you know having that sort of large your head gives you that breeze that bit of confidence the greater mass if you like behind the ball the ability for the manufacturer to put the CG as far back as it is then obviously it's going to launch higher I say obviously but it doesn't and that's the biggest surprise I'm going to hit a ball with it I don't want to give away the kind of numbers at the end but this has been the biggest shock we've played off a tee from word go I'll hit another ball and I'll tell you what again I think of the differences in terms of well I'm swinging a ball really good this morning or the club really well this morning went really good off the face love ping g4 25s hard to be critical for this club range whatsoever fairly easy swing and I think mentally at least you don't fear so you have to go after a hybrid as much as you do a two iron but then again that's just something that resonates in the brain but I think we need to stop talking about what are the differences and why am I so shocked at what Taylor made have done with this UDI and the only way to really explain that I'm afraid is in data and that's where we'll go and I'll show you why like I said I'm so surprised at this UDI from Taylor made yeah I'm afraid this one is very much data led so I'm going to start off with the numbers of the two hybrid and I think they were kind of where I'd expect them to be 85 man on our clubhead speed ball speed of 130 on average 201 on average carried launching at 13.3 with a peak height of 78 spinning at 34 there's a couple of things to highlight in there is when we did get to clubhead speed up to sort of uh there's one there 80 or two on the bounce 87 mile an hour and we got up to 211 and 214 carries which are really long balls for me with a two hybrid and then ball speeds of 133 134 135 incredible I think the thing that shocked me a little bit like I said maybe didn't shock me what I would expect from the two hybrid but then when I go on and tell you what happened from the two iron the way that the shock came in the launch on average was 13.3 and it was fairly consistent to be honest with you along the what is it nine shots that I hit it launched that so that I'd say that 13.3 and from 17 degrees that's pretty fair but like I said those numbers really really good I would have come off a review of the two hybrid from Pingji 425 and I said it was fantastic and it was doing all the things you'd expected to do so two iron numbers were where like I said the surprise comes in I'm going to go over the averages first of all and compare them both so 86 mile an hour in terms of that clubhead speed 128 ball speed 198 carry 16.6 launch and spinning at 35 peak height and 95 now when you run them against the two sets of numbers you'll see there's some glaring differences clubhead speed remained pretty similar ball speed slightly quicker off that larger head of the hybrid carry just that little bit further again with the hybrid but the launch was the big big surprise for me to get a two iron launching and I'm talking about now don't forget a modern day two iron these are the differences that with a foam filled hollow body you would have never or I would have never achieved an average of 16.6 degrees of launch angle off an old two iron and that's why I would have dismissed this club two or three years ago never even gone near it and then spinning at three and a half thousand revs so it's kind of doing all the things that you would want from a long iron but never had the kit or again I'm talking about my perspective what you'd want from a long iron but never really had the capabilities of achieving in terms of numbers so I'd have been two iron low absolute knuckle ball would have struggled to get it out the air low low spin give me no key chasing down a hard links fairway but this is a different that's a different club altogether now we're looking at and those kind of numbers like I said really did surprise me as to how much these clubs have come on and the real lesson was not whether or not not everyone no one's going to go out not no one the majority of us are not going to go out and start putting two irons in the bag the idea of this video is the highlight that maybe we're all a bit dismissive we've got preconceived ideas of things that we used to know in the past and have kept them in our memories and sort of steer away from clubs and it clearly shows that definitely without a shadow of a doubt modern technology has played a major part in why that two iron is now very playable whereas it would never have been able to go near my bag with my kind of clubhead speeds I don't want to waffle on for every but I will finish off by saying is don't get me wrong you still the ideal player that two iron is suited for is somebody with a much higher clubhead speed than mine they're going to get some fantastic numbers out of that and it's a great club for them to play off the tee and still like I said the hybrid is more versatile as well is another thing that I didn't mention and more suited to this kind of player but I would say that for me it's the best two iron that I've tried in recent years it was by far the highest launching and all those numbers made it a really positive review and like I said shocked me altogether and maybe I won't be dismissive of two irons in the future anyway that's me done as ever sorry for waffling on a bit there as ever thanks for watching hope you enjoyed it more of a lesson learned than anything else but give me your comments down below do you go near these kind of clubs would you dismiss this club would you even consider trying it when you're going next go into the driving range and that'll do thumbs up is the other one and thanks for watching I'll see you soon
