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. :)

    • Day 170: did the yardstick putting drill. 
    • Day 2 1 hour of range work, muni range in Van Nuys. Focusing still on weight shift, starting forward shift earlier. Seeing some progress. Little bit of chipping work.
    • I wish! Double quotes are inches and a single quote is feet! It was just 11 inches, my friend, @ChetlovesMer!    Day 4 1/3/25  Indoor chipping and weight shift drills. Will putt through 50 mm  gates rom 11 inches before bed.

    • Day 244 (3 Jan 24) - Friday men’s group round - a really solid front nine at one over 37 from the gold tees. Out of the 8 pars - six were up and downs…the lone bogie included a water ball penalty stroke.  At the turn, game shifted to my typical reality as it was a 45 with open and close dbls on 10 and 18, with five bogies and two pars strewn in between. Still a solid 82 overall - with 28 total putts (incl one 3 putt) 5 GIR and 5 nGIR.   Oh the highlight of the day - the ladies’ teaching pro was in our foursome and she was very complimentary of my overall approach and wedge game.  It made those drills in the backyard well worth the time spent.
