GolfSpy Barbajo Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 I've gamed the Wilson V4 utility iron and have the new Srixon utility iron in the bag -- great off the tee and a great indicator of how I'm swinging at any given point in time. When I can hit it off the deck, things are good. When I can't, it's the canary in the coal mine telling me things are about to go haywire...

jaskanski Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 1.5" is a sizeable chunk to tip for an 18 degree hybrid - the MRC recommendation is 0.5" for a standard bore. Therefore expect it to feel pretty stout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to be a Debbie Downer but that Fli Hi produced a very high trajectory and I would be reluctant to call it a driving iron. Certainly a forgiving utility but I had to take it out of my bag and put the 4 iron back in because it gets windy in Chicago and the Fli Hi flew too high. That said, I hope it works out for you!

Mizuno2 Posted September 9, 2016 Author Share Posted September 9, 2016 Hopefully it turns out well. And generally 1/2" tipping equates to half flex firmer.

BIG STU Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 ... Not to be a Debbie Downer but that Fli Hi produced a very high trajectory and I would be reluctant to call it a driving iron. Certainly a forgiving utility but I had to take it out of my bag and put the 4 iron back in because it gets windy in Chicago and the Fli Hi flew too high. That said, I hope it works out for you! Trust me it ain't gonna fly too high with the shaft he has in it and what he has it tipped at. That is darn near rebar quality. Makes me hurt the thought of me swinging that. I might hit it 6 inches off the ground IF I could get it through the ball.

Makes me hurt the thought of me swinging that. I might hit it 6 inches off the ground IF I could get it through the ball. The ball should go like a missel with that setup ... I put a DGX100 tipped 1" in my sons Fli Hi. Ex DE at 6'3" and down to 235 and still very strong as he never stopped working out. But he hit it so high I had to put a Rocketbladez Tour 4 iron in his bag instead. He still hits it pretty high but manageable compared to the Fli Hi. He is a little wristy so that accounts for some of it but he can hit his 4 iron 260 off the tee. Although a heavy hook is always a possibility. Even though I am 63, it is always a little disconcerting to have a 4 iron within 15 yards of my driver when he finds the fairway LOL. ...

Mizuno2 Posted September 10, 2016 Author Share Posted September 10, 2016 So today's round I am happy with 76. The new fli hi was amazing! Just super penetrating with no spin. The shaft felt amazing with very good control and dispersion.

guitarnerd55 Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 Awesome! Of all the utility/driving irons I've tried, the Wilson V4 and Titleist T-MB are my favorites. Occasionally I throw my MP-H4 3 iron in my bag but it does hit it high enough that it's closer to a hybrid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaMarc_GasolDridge Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 I've had a couple of driving irons myself and the 712U takes the cake. I had the 18* version and the ball carried probably 220ish on well struck shots and rolled for dayz. Hit a number of shots over 260 with it off the tee during the summer here near Houston!
