I'm a lefty so I'm pretty limited on driving iron options. From what I've gather the three options I would be most interested in are the Ping G410 crossover, Srixon u85, or getting a TM p790 with a graphite shaft bent to a 2 iron.

My only other options are the TMB, which I'm not particularly keen on dropping 300 on a driving iron, or the Gapr which is too low spin from all the testing I've seen.

Thoughts or Reviews?

Do they not make the TM p790 in 2 iron for lefties? Definitely do for RH, and it is a beast

Not the udi for sure, I don't think they have a regular 2 iron either to my knowledge. You can get it bent -2 stock though so the loft will be fine though

Srixon driving irons are sexy as hell

Srixon and it’s not close. Between looks, feel, and performance it simply cannot be beat for higher swing speed golfers.

Why wouldn’t you just tee off with a hybrid?

Looks, feel, shot preference.

Because I can launch the Iron several degrees lower off the tee. I have a hybrid, I would put one of the other in the badlg depending on the course.

We may could deal. How much are you looking for to part with it?

Or time of year. Hybrid when it's cool and wet and I can carry it further. Dry and warm and few forced carries: driving iron.

I don't know if I would part with it but love the club. I have had 2 (one 712u and one T-MB) that I got both off of eBay for around $200.

I can see that. All my clubs are in the closet at the moment. Keep an eye on eBay. They pop up periodically with some good deals. Tough to be a lefty

I have a GAPR from Taylormade and I love it.

2 iron loft, extra stiff graphite shaft.
