The 2 Iron Killer - This club could replace your 2 Iron
Their verdict
While the 2-iron shines on firm links courses and the 9-wood offers extreme height out of rough, a 17° strong Rescue (hybrid) is the ultimate 2-iron replacement. It merges shaft length, head forgiveness, and flight control into one versatile long-game club.
Forgiveness: 4/5 — Very forgiveness out of turf and rough
Versatility: 5/5 — Works across all lies and conditions
What they rate
17° Rescue provides the perfect middle ground between utility iron and high-launch fairway wood
Rescue head size glides easily through rough without digging
Easier to control launch windows compared to a 9-wood
What they don’t
Traditionalists may prefer the sleeker visual shape of a utility iron off the tee
