Description Popular on TOUR, the 200i is the original in what is becoming a wildly popular new category of clubs. Call them "Utility Clubs," "Driving Irons," or "Iron/Wood Hybrids" they're helping players hit higher softer 200+ yard approach shots and making Long irons scarce.
Summary: I believe most golfers have forgot all about this club, which was a favorite among a few touing pros years ago. I have a #3 and will never take it out of my bag. Never. It's a bit longer than a normal 3 iron, goes way past my 4 iron, so there is a distance gap. The biggest deal about this orignal hybrid is how much easier it is to use than a regular 2 or 3 iron. Mine has a steel shaft, so it feels prettey much like the rest of my set. Great club, although no longer available. PRGR is still popular in asia.

Summary: After injuring my left hip in an automobile accident I had a lot of trouble shifting my weight foward which made hitting a driver a physical impossibility. After seeing the club on t.v. I figured I'd give it a try it was risk free. I was so pleased that I also bought the 3 driving iron as well which is tremendous in the fairways. It has given me the ability to be competitive on the course again and I'm confident that my scores will get back down with these clubs in my bag. My only complaint is that since I purchased them off of t.v. I'm having a difficult time reaching the manufacturer to change to a stiffer shaft the 90mph is a little to wippy. Overall I would suggest to anyone interested. BUY IT!!
Customer Service: I just can't reach them every number fax, or otherwise is disconnected.

Summary: Have been wanting this club for a long time, finally found one in my price range on ebay. Love this club! Spent some time with it on the range and found that for me I need to tee it high and put it in the front of my stance to get optimum distance and trajectory. Very long off the tee on par 4's and VERY straight, hard to spray this club. Still working to hit it cleanly from the fairway but even on off center hits it runs long. Can't find much wrong with it, glad it's in my bag, nice to have at least one club you can ALWAYS count on.
Customer Service: Didn't come with Headcover but was able to buy one from Manufacturer for $10.00. www.prgr.com

Summary: Great club, solid feel and pretty forgving. Really long as well (about 240 carry, compared to about 210 for my old titleist 990 2 iron) Holds greens as well or better than most 2 irons as well.

Summary: Wasn't too hip to these "utility clubs until I hit this thing... it's awesome. I have the "2" ...with 17* it's between 1 and 2iron loft... you can hit both low bullet draws and high arching cuts with it, way more forgiving than any 1iron.
Similar Products Used: many different 1irons... I do miss the ability to hit ultra low, hot screamers that you can hit with a 1iron, but the playability of the 200i makes up for it
