Driving Irons

[Mattie]

Hi All

Im lookin at a driving iron for a 3 wood replacement.
Im not bad with the good old driver, 260 max maybe but I need something that goes about 220 yds for those doglegs/playing safe.

Ayone had any experience with the mizzy MP Fli Hi, that looks pretty nice or any other driving irons

I use a 3 iron , that seems to go pretty well

A 16 or 18 degree hybrid won't go as far as a 3 wood but will offer more control which is I presume what you're after.
The hi-fli is not versatile, it really is a driving iron, ok off tee but not nice off the deck.
I would look at a Cobra baffler type hybrid - offers more versatility and every bit as good off the tee as a driving iron.
IMO driving irons are a thing of the past, they were precursors to the modern hybrid.

Have you had a look at the Adams pro black.Thats a small hybrid but in my opinion sits more like a iron and it flys like a bullet too although not the most forgiving

220yds = perfect 5wood length.

220yds = perfect 5wood length.

Yeh, get a V steel 5 wood on Ebay, great tool.

or a trusty Callaway WarBird - hugely effective stick.

I have one sitting in the garage since I got exactly the same in a 4Wood for that smidge more length, but I wouldnt part with it i'm afraid !

I have the mp fli hi in 2iron and 3iron and I love them!
The 2iron is a bit tricky of the deck but is perfect for playing safe!

Hi

Yeah im not too consistent with my 3 wood but im pretty good with my long irons. Maybe I just need more practice!
