TaylorMade SLDR Irons Review
June 21, 2014 By John P. Orr
Another TM club hits the market. Can the SLDR iron replace the R11 and hold its own in game-improvement land?
TaylorMade and parent company Adidas-AG have been in the news
FINALLY hit some balls this weekend.
I did a short range session Saturday. Hit only 20 balls. 10 with 8 Iron & 10 with Driver. Overall the foot felt good during the session but I did notice I was not fully turning and was rather flat footed on the last couple of shots. In the past that usually happened as the pain in my ankle kicked up but this time I did not feel pain...AT THAT TIME.
