Tiger's Open Golf 2-iron
Find out more about Tiger's Open Championship fairway finder…
Tiger Woods is approaching the first round of this year's Open very sensibly, and is not risking missing the fairways with wayward drives. Instead, he's hitting stinging bullet 2-irons that are setting up birdie chances.
Woods' 2-iron is actually a 3-iron that is bent to 2-iron loft. The head is from Nike's mid-range VR_S Forged line and offers exceptional feel and forgiveness.
Tiger found he wasn't getting the most out of the club, though, as it was flying a bit too low and spinning too high on full shots. He therefore made a shaft change - he swapped out the Dynamic Gold X100s he uses in his other irons for Project X's new PXi - a graphite-looking steel shaft that launches higher and spins less.
It is also eight grammes lighter in the same flex, which will help improve launch.
