Saw these were announced today, did a quick search and didn't find any relevant threads.  Anyone have any experience with these already?

Erik,
do you think this is more of a game improvement iron? ie along the lines of a diablo edge? and think there's a possibility of a R11 TP iron, or would they just stick with their 'tour preferred' mc, mb and cb lines?

From what I have read, they are considered a GI iron, but with the looks of a players iron.  They are said to be as long as the burners, but not nearly as thick and chunky, and more workable.  Also, the TM engineers are saying they found a new way to create the grooves (since they are cast and not milled) and this produced some significant increases in spin over the previous models cast grooves (like the R9's). Also the soles are said to be very good since they got input from a lot of tour pro's and mainly Faldo.

Yes, yes, and technically yes since you asked an or question and one of the answers is true (the second half). :-)

i dunno... to me they look almost exactly like what would happen if the TP CB's and the Burner 2.0's had a baby.

No offense to any TM fans out there, but I think there stuff as of late is crap. I think a lot of this is a gimmick. Not to say that they are the only company selling gimmicks, I just think they push it a little too much. The entire r11 line is a perfect example.

The worst day of golf beats the best day of work!

I'm leery of this. It looks, in the pictures, like some of TMs newer players irons, but all the performance seems to be along the line of their GI stuff. I'd think that, in person, these aren't going to look as 'playersish' as they do in pictures. Besides that, the only visual that seems less GI is from the topline...the rest of the club is still clunky and fugly.

Not G20 Razrhawk fugly, but yeah, a swing and a miss for sure.

Call me crazy but I like the looks of them from what I can see so far.  The picture Erik posted isn't much, but there are more "hands on" pictures on a competing forum I won't paste a link to here.  People with their "these don't look classic" attitudes, I don't get sometimes.  But to each his own, that's why we have so many choices.  Results are what matters to me.

Why the quotation marks? Did I say that? They do look like classic TaylorMades. I've thought that TaylorMade has made vast improvements this year in the aesthetics of their irons. I know you're all about the results, but I see my irons on their own and together in my bag, many many many times over the course of a golf season and I want something that I can look at without cringing. If i'm gonna shoot the same score either way, I don't want a bunch of contrasting colours and chintzy looking decorative badges weights  glued / welded on the back, straight lines where there should be curved lines and vise versa, and something that looks like I need to purchase a special tool in order to clean it properly (Nike irons would not make wish list for this reason alone). My specific comments were an homage to the poster who trashed the strange looks of them and said TM was trying to hard and has even uglier farther reaching irons in his bag. Eye of the beholder I guess.

HA! That was my first thought!  They could have at least painted the bottom grooves.

    • Day 76 - Pretty sore today, so I opted for putting over my Stack session. Primary focus was on starting line, as my putting has been pretty poor this year. 
    • Been a bit of delay in updates but I needed to come back east as my mom's health has taken a serious turn for the worse. In a 3 day span we learned she had a tumor to she has stage 4 cancer and stopped eating and drinking for the most part. She has had a rough 3 months but certainly didn't think we'd be at the point of setting up hospice for her. My mom was never into any sports really other than following the Red Sox because my dad was a big fan. She always cared about what we were involved in including asking about how golf went.  I have kept up with my 5 minutes of daily practice and will go to the gym here in NH tomorrow morning. Despite the somber nature of this trip my family has commented more than a few times about my weight loss so it's important to me to keep it up. I know my mom always wanted us happy in whatever we did so I'll continue with my fitness journey keeping that in mind. 
    • Day 109- Putting drills on a putting green for 20 minutes. 
    • Day 252: did a stack session. Did some slow rehearsal swings during breaks. 
    • Day 82: 3/18/24 Tried a Stack session but could not certify my warmup. Finished with indoor chips and putting.
