Haywood Golf built its name selling direct-to-consumer clubs out of Vancouver at prices that undercut the big OEMs by hundreds of dollars, and the SV.2 is the brand's clearest pitch to the average golfer yet. This is a game improvement iron that actually behaves like one. In MyGolfSpy's independent testing it finished first out of twelve brands in shot area, a forgiveness metric that measures how tightly your misses cluster, and second in playable shot percentage at 99.1 percent, behind only Titleist.
There's a trade to know about upfront. The SV.2 finished near the bottom of that same test in raw carry distance, eleventh of twelve. But it jumped to second in carry consistency, meaning the distance you get on one swing is very close to what you get on the next. For a mid or high handicapper, that's arguably the better deal. A club that flies 5 yards shorter but lands the same number every time is easier to score with than one that goes long, short, long.
At around $699 for a set, you're paying roughly half of what a comparable set from a major brand costs. The catch is you buy it online without hitting it first, which is the standard Haywood arrangement. For golfers comfortable with that, the value case here is hard to argue with.
简而言之
The Haywood SV.2 (2023) is a forgiving game-improvement iron built for consistent distance.

About the Haywood SV.2
The SV.2 pairs a 17-4 stainless steel body with an S450 steel face that's thinner than the one on the original SV, which is where the ball speed comes from. Inside, Haywood injects 18 grams of foam to quiet the thin face and firm up distance control. Without it, thin-faced hollow irons tend to sound like a filing cabinet. With it, the SV.2 feels closer to a solid casting than its construction would suggest. Offset is progressive through the set, heavier in the long irons where you want the help squaring the face and reduced in the short irons where you'd rather flight the ball and work it a little. The fog silver finish is a nice practical touch too, cutting glare at address on sunny days. It's a shape that offers help without ballooning into an oversized shovel look.
Who Should Play the Haywood SV.2?
- ✓Mid to high handicappers who care more about hitting the same number every time than squeezing out maximum carry distance.
- ✓Value hunters who want current game improvement tech but can't stomach $1,400 for a name-brand set.
- ✓Players moving up from an older cavity back who want forgiveness in the long irons without a bulky profile at address.
常见问题
Are Haywood SV.2 irons forgiving?
Yes, and there's independent data behind that. In MyGolfSpy's game improvement iron test, the SV.2 finished first out of twelve brands in shot area, which measures how tightly misses group, and second in playable shot percentage. Forgiveness is this club's strongest suit.
How far do the SV.2 irons go compared to other game improvement irons?
Not as far as most. The SV.2 ranked eleventh out of twelve in carry distance in independent testing. The flip side is it ranked second in carry consistency, so distances repeat shot to shot. If you'd rather have a reliable number than a longer average, that trade works in your favor.
What are the Haywood SV.2 irons made of?
The body is 17-4 stainless steel with a thinner S450 steel face for ball speed. Haywood injects 18 grams of foam inside the head to improve sound and feel and to tighten distance control, a construction approach similar to what bigger brands use in their hollow-body irons.
What's the difference between the Haywood SV.2 and the PD.1?
The SV.2 is the full game improvement model with more offset and a lower center of gravity for easier launch. The PD.1 is a players distance iron with a more compact shape aimed at better ball strikers. Haywood also sells a combo set with SV.2 long irons and PD.1 short irons.
Can you buy Haywood SV.2 irons in stores?
No. Haywood is a direct-to-consumer brand, so the SV.2 is sold through its website rather than retail shops. That's a big part of why a set runs around $699 instead of the $1,200 to $1,500 typical of major-brand game improvement irons, but it does mean you likely won't hit them before buying.
