2nd Swing Golf
Master fitters, Trackman-heavy testing
“I think they knocked these out of the park.”
A dramatically slimmed-down, better-sounding utility iron that kept its high-launch, steep-landing performance, about 18 feet more height and 5 mph more ball speed than the T250U in testing.
+ the facts · 6 pros · 2 cons− the facts
- +Much cleaner, slimmer shape than the previous generation, which looked almost like a hybrid
- +Biggest complaint of the old model, the sound, has been cleaned up and it feels great
- +Launched about 18 feet higher with a 4-degree steeper landing angle than the T250U
- −Still needs a good amount of clubhead speed; fitter would rarely fit it below a stiff flex
- −Can launch almost too high for very fast swingers chasing a 100-foot window
For: Moderate to high speed players who hate hybrids but still want lots of peak height and landing angle from a long iron

- +L-shaped forged cup face keeps ball speed on low strikes
- +V-taper design holds speed across the face

Coach, famously hard to impress
“that just feels very easy to hit”
The chunkier advanced driving iron feels very easy to hit and launches with help from the turf, better matched to 250-350 style sets than its player-only image suggests.
+ the facts · 3 pros · 1 cons− the facts
- +Feels very easy to hit, genuinely helpful from the ground
- +Outdrove the T250U in the scramble test
- +Blends with T250 and T350 style sets
- −Chunky look won't appeal to players expecting a slim utility
For: Golfers who want utility-iron distance with help, not just the low-handicap crowd
