[HappyGolf] Yamaha Golf UD+2 "Goes Two Clubs Further" View original image


"Irons with distance."


This is Yamaha Golf's new product UD+2 (photo). It was unveiled in Korea before Japan, allowing customers to experience it sooner. UD+2 stands for Ultra Distance, a model first released in 2014 and nicknamed "irons that go two clubs farther." The manufacturer proudly stated, "We commissioned the Sports Industry Technology Center to test the distance of 7-iron clubs from four different brands, and UD+2 ranked first with a distance of 153 meters."


The secret lies in the thin face and SPEED-RIB FACE technology. The 7-iron face is only 1.9mm thick, and the sole is just 1.5mm. The striking area flexes together to increase the initial ball speed. Five ribs, each 0.3mm thick, on the back of the face raise the launch angle. It produces the distance of a 5-iron with a 7-iron while maintaining a high trajectory. The ball lands near the target and does not roll away far.



It is especially popular among seniors and female golfers who want more power in their woods. It is lightweight yet hits the ball far and makes it easy to launch. This is thanks to the SPEED-BOX technology applied to the driver, woods, and utility clubs. The head’s sole and crown feature a high-pressure molded structure of 20 boxes, each 1.5mm deep. During impact, it suppresses vibrations in the body, crown, and sole to minimize energy loss and deliver more power to the ball.
