TaylorMade Rocketbladez vs M4 Irons

[Double Drops]

I’m fairly new to golf. A good friend of mine has let me borrow an older used set of clubs and now I’m looking to buy some new ones. I’m looking for game improvement irons and I think I’ve narrowed it down to the Taylormade Rocket Bladez and M4.

For those of you that have experience with both of these irons, which would you recommend? I can get the Rocket Bladez for almost $200 cheaper. Are the M4’s worth the extra $?

Welcome to TST.  We're glad you've decided to join.    

If I'm not mistaken the Rocket Bladez are an older set somewhere around 2012,  not sure?  The M4 are 2018 model.   There is a big difference in technology between the two.    I have the M4 and love them but the shaft makes up a very big overall difference.

The standard operating procedure around here will be to tell you to go hit both on a launch monitor and get the numbers.   The numbers won't lie.   I don't know your financial background so I can't say if the $200 is significant for you.   But if you look at the longevity of the clubs over time, $200 over time isn't that expensive.  

Whatever you do, even without a launch monitor, go hit both if you are limiting your search to just these two.    

 

Good luck.
