The SV.2 from Haywood Golf secured a top-seven finish in our 2026 Most Wanted Game-Improvement Iron Test, anchored by its impressive performance in forgiveness. For golfers prioritizing on-course consistency, the SV.2 is a compelling choice that pairs reliable results with a budget-friendly price.
► You want consistency: Quantifying forgiveness is a complex task. While Moment of Inertia (MOI) provides a baseline, it doesn’t fully capture real-world performance. To accurately rank forgiveness, we evaluate four essential metrics for every shot: ball speed, carry distance, backspin, and dispersion. The Haywood SV.2 earns its place as the second-best game-improvement iron in this category by delivering remarkably consistent results across this comprehensive data set.
✖︎ You want distance: The Haywood SV.2 delivers exceptional accuracy and forgiveness, making it an outstanding choice for golfers willing to trade a bit of yardage for precision. While its distance performance falls below the field average—a factor that may deter those seeking maximum power—it remains a top-tier performer in scoring and reliability.
Answer a few questions about your swing, and we’ll match your game to our database of over 100,000 swings. With 97.8% of swings matched, we’ll recommend the top performing drivers that will give you the best results. Maximize your potential with advanced golf analytics powered by MyGolfSpy.
