Jason Day’s RocketBladez Tour 2 Iron
Two things that shouldn’t go together are 2 irons and 300-yard shots, but that’s exactly what Jason Day says he can do with his new TaylorMade RocketBladez Tour 2 iron, which he used in Round 1 of the HP Byron Nelson Championship today.
The reason we’re making such a big deal out of the club is because it technically doesn’t exist. Golfer’s can’t buy it at the store, or order it through TaylorMade (we’ll let you know if that changes).
According to PGATour.com Equipment Insider Jonathan Wall, Day’s 2 iron has 16.5 degrees of loft. In the past that loft would make the club a 1 iron, but not anymore. The standard loft of a RocketBladez Tour 4 iron is 22 degrees and the 3 iron is 19 degrees, so 16.5 makes sense for a 2 iron.
To help Day hit the club even farther, he had a UST Mamiya Recoil graphite iron shaft installed in the club, which is about the same weight (125 grams) and stiffness as Day’s Project X 6.5 steel iron shafts, but tends to launch the ball lower and with less spin.
This season, Day has been juggling between a 14.5-degree TaylorMade RBZ Stage 2 three wood, an 17.5-degree RBZ Tour 4 wood and a TaylorMade MC 2 iron. According to Wall, Day plans to use the 2 iron in July at the British Open at Muirfield, where it could be a perfect wind cheater, and longer and more forgiving than his old TaylorMade MC 2 iron as well.

Neal Shipley was the first to admit that he enjoyed his food while in college. But since his days at Ohio State, he’s slimmed down and earned a PGA Tour Card.
That hasn’t stopped him from having fun with his wedge stampings, though it’s led to some misunderstandings.
On the 54 (degree), we have ‘Big Fudge,'” Shipley told GolfWRX. “It was supposed to be ‘Big Fridge,’ so this happened a little while ago. ‘Big Fridge’ was a nickname between my college teammates and I, with ‘fridge’ meaning stomach, a big stomach.
“We told the Ping guys to put … ‘Big Fridge’ on it, and I think maybe some bad cell service or something, and they thought I said ‘fudge,’ so they put fudge on it.”
On Shipley’s 50-degree he also continues the food theme, this time with his go-to order at the “Golden Arches,” and his stamping “DONS 7.”
“The number 7 meal, the two cheeseburger meal, that was my McDonald’s order, back when I would have McDonald’s frequently,” Shipley shared.

I got a custom rocketbladez 3 iron bent to 16′ and it it a perfect club. It’s about 15yds shorter than my 3 wood. It has a dynamic gold s300 shaft so it shoots low and yet still carries pretty long.

The Rocketbladez Tour irons are for better players and the 4 iron loft is 22*. Rocketbladez irons, for the less skilled, has a 4 iron loft of 20* and a 3 iron of 18*. Looking at this logically, if you could get a Rocketbladez 2 iron for the average player it would have a 15.5* to 16* loft. No wonder people can’t hit anything longer than a 6 or 7 iron decent.
When are manufacturers going to stop jacking up lofts? Soon everyone will be carrying 6-7 “wedges”. When will the consumer wake up to reality? Irons aren’t for distance.

I’m currently trying to work on my iron shots. For some reason I would always try to “Hulk up” with my irons and go for distance. Now I’m mentally making myself take easier swings to work on accuracy. That said, the RocketBladez would be nice as I’d be swinging slower, but still having the same distance. Everyone’s game is different.

At 73, with a 17hcp, was using Miura blades for years, pro suggested I try RocketBladez/senior shafts. Had them for a month now, and it’s a whole different, much better, game. Hadn’t been able to decently use a 3 or 4 iron for years, now they’re a regular, reliable part of my set – hardly a mis-hit, and much more accurate than any wood. Wish they made a 2-iron I could try. Hcp on its way back down, I believe 12 might be possible.
