WHY CHOOSE A UTILITY IRON?
As is often the case on the PGA Tour, a Utility iron may move in and out of your bag depending on course conditions. Windy conditions and firm fairways like those often encountered during the Open Championship are often why professional choose utility clubs. Beyond cheating the wind, other reasons to consider utility clubs include narrow fairways, long par-3s, and other scenarios where precision and workability can supplant the need to maximize distance. When the goal is to simply get the ball in play off the tee, for some, the utility club may the best bet.
In the most general sense, utility irons are built for golfers who require shotmaking versatility from tee to green.
