As seen below, my Col de Dame (UCD) is rather stubby and slow growing.  It's on its second year.  I'm about to repot it in looser mix and I'm considering lopping off one of the two little branches to focus growth to the other.  Would this be a good idea?  

 

PATIENCE   ( only my opinion)

my cddb  was also a slow grower
is it root bound after 2 years and needs bigger pot ?

They are not fast growing, so keep what you have and fertilize it.

Up-potting will also give them the burst of growth you are looking for. No need to eliminate any limps.

If you're planning to keep it in a pot I'd put it in a SWP already, you'll be surprised at how much figs love them... I had the same issue as you and as soon as I transplanted it it took off!!! Same case with the others I put in SWP's... 
Don't cut off any limbs, one will most likely take off and leave the other in its dust, haha... Then you can practice airlayering the smaller one...

I put my in ground and its five times bigger alreafy this year. Doesn't look like the same tree

agree with frank, up-pot it

If planting in ground is an option I would suggest it.  After planting my rooted cuttings in ground, they grew to about 8 feet tall with multiple branches within 8 months.  Even had some fruits in the first year.
