Question

What does it mean when they say the golf irons are 2 degree up? how is this different from standard irons?

Answer 1

This means that the club head has been bent 2 degrees.   In the case of 2 degrees up, the toe has been lifted 2 degrees from normal. This would be for a golfer that tends to be a bit more upright at address, has shorter arms or is a bit taller than 'average'.  Where 2 degrees down, would be for a golfer that stands further away, bends more, has longer arms or possibly is a bit shorter.

Answer 2

the above answer is dead accurate , no web sites . no innane babble . this poster knows golf clubs . dont bother posting , just ask this gentleman . he is down to eart and right on

Answer 3

I just got custom fitted for some Cobra Pro CB. I'm 5'5" and decided that I finally will get clubs that fit me. I got a Rifle Shaft 5.0 flex (regular) and 1 degree down due to my height and arm length. Hopefully this will help me hit the ball on the sweet spot more often than before as the toe is bent down a degree and I don't have to stand so upright on those tight lies where I want to get the head on the ball better.

They arrive June 2! I can't wait!
