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. :)

      2026 U.S. Open

      By saevel25 · Posted

      The criticisms are starting already 🤣 U.S. Open pro criticizes Shinnecock green conditions: 'Bumpy' After playing his first practice round at the 2026 U.S. Open, Michael Kim offered a less-than-glowing review of Shinnecock's "bumpy" greens.   The sand, I don't care about that. If the greens didn't come back as well for latest aerification, that would be a bit of a blunder on Shinnecock I think.

      Andy Plummer on Abduction and Adduction

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      Well, if your frame of reference spins twice during the swing, then Bryson's ab/adduction is more like 780 degrees so there! (Yes I'm being silly, but not sure it's any sillier than what your pal Andy is doing...)

      Brendan Sorsby Sports Betting

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Update: Brandon Sorsby has decided to enter the NFL Supplemental Draft. He will not play for Texas Tech in the upcoming season.  From my perspective, I think he did the right thing. I hope he gets the correct help for his gambling addiction. I say the right thing, because I would be worried that the stress from all of this now and throughout the entire year would not be beneficial towards his mental health.  If an NFL team picks him up, then there really isn't any pressure for him to play immediately. He can work on himself and his game for the NFL.  From Texas Tech,  "Texas Tech will continue to provide the support and recovery resources Brendan requires on this journey. Furthermore, Texas Tech will not seek return of any amounts already paid to Brendan through his NIL agreements with the University," Campbell wrote. "We wish our best to Brendan, and we offer our prayers to him and his family as he chases his dreams at the next level. This has been an unbelievably painful experience for us all, but I know that his true, underlying character and lessons learned through this experience will ultimately bring him great success on the field of play and in life." Which, I also the right thing to do.
