Haywood built its name selling clubs direct to golfers without the retail markup, and the DI.2 is the second pass at their driving iron. The pitch is simple. You get a hollow-body utility iron for a lot less than a UDI or a Zero Iron, and Haywood is betting most players won't feel the difference on the course.
The DI.2 exists for one shot, really. The low, flighted ball off the tee that finds fairways when the driver is misbehaving, or holds under the wind when a hybrid balloons. Driving irons are a niche club, and Haywood knows it. This isn't trying to replace your long irons across the board. It's a specialist you put in the bag for tight courses, windy days, and links-style golf.
Because it's a 2024 direct-to-consumer release, you won't find it in a fitting bay at your local shop. That's the trade-off with Haywood. The price is right and the club is legit, but you're buying on spec and their return policy rather than a launch monitor session.
简而言之
The Haywood DI.2 Driving Iron (2024) is a players-distance iron that blends ball speed with a clean shape.

About the Haywood DI.2 Driving Iron
The DI.2 uses a hollow-body construction, which is the standard recipe for modern driving irons for good reason. A thin face backed by open space lets the face flex more at impact, so you keep ball speed on shots hit low on the face, which is exactly where most golfers strike a long iron. The head is compact from address, closer to a players iron than a hybrid, with enough sole width to keep it from digging. Compared to the original DI, the second version refines the shaping and mass placement rather than reinventing anything. Weight sits low and back to help get the ball airborne, but make no mistake, this club wants to fly low. That's the job. Stock it plays strong-lofted like the rest of the category, and Haywood sells it with graphite hybrid-weight shaft options that suit how most people actually swing a club like this.
Who Should Play the Haywood DI.2 Driving Iron?
- ✓Players with enough club speed to launch a strong-lofted iron, roughly mid-80s mph of driver speed or better, who want a fairway finder off the tee.
- ✓Golfers in windy or firm conditions who need a flat, penetrating flight that a hybrid can't produce.
- ✓Anyone curious about a driving iron who doesn't want to spend TaylorMade or Titleist money to find out if the club fits their game.
- ✓Better players who like working the ball off the tee and find hybrids too hot and too high.
常见问题
Is the Haywood DI.2 forgiving enough for a mid handicapper?
More forgiving than a blade 2 iron, less forgiving than a hybrid. The hollow body protects ball speed on mishits, but you still need to strike it reasonably well to get it airborne. If your driver speed is under about 85 mph or you struggle with long irons generally, a hybrid will serve you better.
How does the DI.2 compare to the TaylorMade UDI or Titleist U505?
The construction concept is the same, hollow body, thin face, compact profile. The big-brand options have more exotic face materials and more fitting options. The Haywood costs meaningfully less. For a club that might see ten swings a round, plenty of golfers decide the price gap matters more than the tech gap.
Should I use the DI.2 off the tee or from the fairway?
It's primarily a tee club. The strong loft and low flight make it great for finding fairways on tight or windy holes. Off the deck it's demanding, and you'll want a good lie and a confident strike. Most players bag it as a driver alternative, not a fairway wood replacement.
What's different between the DI.2 and the original Haywood DI?
It's a refinement rather than an overhaul. The second generation cleans up the shaping at address and tweaks the internal weighting. If you own the original and like it, there's no urgent reason to upgrade. If you're choosing between them new, get the DI.2.
Can I try the Haywood DI.2 before buying?
Not in a store. Haywood sells direct online only, which is how they keep the price down. Check their current return and trial policy before ordering, and buy from their site so you're covered if the club doesn't suit you.
