I'm pretty solid at ball striking, so it'd be nice having an iron I can get 240-250 off the tee

I think they typically have longer shafts that are graphite or whatever. More like 3 wood shafts and I think have heads that are more forgiving. I could be wrong tho. Trying to find out more about them from someone who uses one

the conventional wisdom is that you have to have a pretty high swing speed to benefit from them.

An idiot savant capable of swinging the exact same every time. Maybe didn't win as much because he sucked at putting maybe? Or pressure? Have t really researched him

I’m always amazed by dudes who do this. It’s objectively harder to hit a nice low iron off the tee than a driver. No question

Also I think for the typical intermediate player looking for consistency he would be better off hitting a 5 iron 180-200 yards than trying for another 50 yards with a low iron that is difficult to hit

If u play in Europe where the fairways are slender as their women, u will need to master a long iron.

Unless you're a +6 or something, you shouldn't even think about a "driving iron". When I want to hit a lower, shorter tee shot into the wind, I just choke down on my driver and hit a low cut with a 3/4 swing. Easy peasy, lots of roll out and perfect for tight fairways.

I made it an absolute unbreakable rule decades ago to only use anything other than driver for distance purposes (i.e. - there's a pond 260 yards out or something). I'd rather hit a hard 3 wood or 3 iron vs bunting a driver though.

I guess it just comes down to comfort level, but today's drivers are so ridiculously forgiving, I just feel far more confident bunting a driver versus hitting a 3 wood. Only time I'll use 3 wood off the tee is if it's a shorter dogleg left where I want to work the ball right-to-left.

I have an old Hogan muscleback 2 iron I'll carry occasionally just for kicks. Love the feel of that club, but it hits it very low and only carries about 205 due to the lack of spin.

I don't understand why you'd do this over a hybrid or maybe a 2 or 3 W. Makes no sense to me.

I think it depends on how you strike the ball. I have more of a flat, sweeping club path so I really get along with fairway woods. If you’re taking a steeper attack angle then I think driving irons are a better option. Also depends on whether you’re looking for something purely off the tee or want another option on Par 5 s out of good lies
