I just purchased a set of TaylorMade R5 XL Irons, stiff shaft and was wondering if there was any information anyone out there could provide me with. I've read that plenty of people like them, and I like them so far after demo-ing them for about an hour. I've only been playing for maybe 4 months now, but I'm obsessed and serious about getting as good as I can and I know that the right equipment is essential. (My first set of irons was from rawlings...yes, the baseball company. this is a huge improvement.) Thanks!

Hi, I'm assuming you bought that set at your local Dicks Sporting Goods. The R5 XL is made by Taylor Made especially for Dicks (almost a private label club). They are equivelant to that of the Rac HT or Rac OS irons, and are a very forgiving game improvement iron. What are the specific questions that you have? I work @ Dicks Sporting Goods, so if there is information I don't know off the top of my head, I can ask about it and will relay the information. For your first set, you made a good choice. I hope they serve you well and lower your scores. :)

      I honestly believe if they play longer tees by 300-400 yards, closer to or over 7,000 yards, more rough, tougher greens, women's golf will become much more gripping.  BTW, if it weren't for Scottie killing it right now, men's golf isn't exactly compelling.

      Day 542, April 26, 2024 A lesson no-show, no-called (he had the wrong time even though the last text was confirming the time… 😛), so I used 45 minutes or so of that time to get some good work in.

      Yeah, that. It stands out… because it's so rare. And interest in Caitlin Clark will likely result in a very small bump to the WNBA or something… and then it will go back down to very low viewership numbers. Like it's always had. A small portion, yep. It doesn't help that she lost, either. Girls often don't even want to watch women playing sports. My daughter golfs… I watch more LPGA Tour golf than she does, and it's not even close. I watch more LPGA Tour golf than PGA Tour golf, even. She watches very little of either. It's just the way it is. Yes, it's a bit of a vicious cycle, but… how do you break it? If you invest a ton of money into broadcasting an LPGA Tour event, the same coverage you'd spend on a men's event… you'll lose a ton of money. It'd take decades to build up the interest. Even with interest in the PGA Tour declining.
