Utility irons are generally pitched as a better players iron or a driving iron, but as they are increasingly being offered in 4 & 5 and sometimes even 6 irons they really don't fit this bill anymore. My question is are these clubs more forgiving than a typical set 4 iron and 5 iron? What is the comparison between a GI long iron vs a Utility iron in say a 4 or 5 iron. I assume that a hybrid is more forgiving than a utility iron, but what is the comparison like there? I guess if anyone could give me their experience with a utility 4 iron or 5 iron I would love to hear it. I really like my Titleist 818 H2 17* 2 hybrid so I am not looking for something that low lofted, but I have trouble hitting my 4 iron without hooking and thought I might replace that and/or my 5 iron with a utility iron.
