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.

'Looks of a players iron?'  You've got to be kidding me.

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.

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.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By Shindig · Posted

      Day 37, June 10.  Today was primarily WFH, so I had several practice sessions (indoors, off a mat, into the net).  At least one each of U, 9, and 6-iron full swings with the usual priority.   I also tried a few times a putting type stroke with my 4H, as something I should probably learn how to hit (and what it does), but the mechanical shot at home off a mat doesn't tell me much of what it's doing.  That's something I should probably try on a real green, not during a round until I've tried it.

      By WillieT · Posted

      Day 10 (10 Jun 26) - Played in the midweek shootout at my home course - on aerated and sanded greens - day of trying to figure tempo to get the best roll on the greens.  Approach game was decently solid as was shots off the tee.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.

      Brendan Sorsby Sports Betting

      Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026.

      Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?
