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.


No it was a general observation from what I have read elsewhere.  It's like someone who doesn't like a Lamborghini based on looks, and it's non-classic lines.  To each his own, I could care less if the weight (or decorative badge) was neon green, so long as it serves a purpose.  If I swing these clubs and I get great feel and distance, and it goes where I am intending it to go.  If I hit them and they aren't good, then obviously the weight will be considered pointless.

I haven't tried nor seen them in person yet but they look like a really solid iron.

I like big putts and I cannot lie.

Every time TM has a new product roll-out somewhere a cute little puppy cries. I hope you TM supporters know this.

I know TM makes high quality equipment but their style is so far away (and getting further upon each product release) from my taste it may as well been made for Lady Ga-Ga. But that's why there are many choices in the market and thank God for that.

I checked them out at golfsmith today.  they are not giant GI irons by any stretch.  The sole is much thinner than an R9.  I held them side by side.  The top line is thinner, and head itself is shorter and smaller.  I thought they were really nice looking clubs, I liked that the heel and toe (outside the grooves) was bright chrome vs. the satin groove portion.  To each his own, I liked them a lot.

They look like the CBs with different badging when I looked at them so I wouldn't say they are huge GI. Although a lot of iron's have the chrome edges and satin grooves in fact I thought just about every iron has that look.

Took a look at them today at a local shop.  Seem like decent irons but man, $1k for a set with graphite shafts?  I'll pass...

burner '09, R9 & TP, burner 2.0, forged MB, MC, CB and R11. That's a lot of new product in a couple years and I probably missed something along the way. I play TM irons so I'm not anti-TM, but their constant product launches are out of control.

In my Sun Mountain 14 Way Stand Bag:

Driver - Ping G30 10.5* : Fairway - Ping G30 18* : Hybrids - Titleist 915H 21* & 915 H 24* : Irons - Mizuno JPX 850 Forged 5 - GW : Wedges, Vokey 54.14, Vokey 58.12 : Putter - Scotty Cameron Studio Select Newport 2 or Ping Craz-E-R  : Ball - Bridgestone B330RX, Cart - Cliqgear 3.5

Hello,

Today i got my new R11 irons ... they are counterfeits but the price was less than half of the normal price.

The irons look good. I'm wondering how much difference there will be compairing with the originals.

Does anyone have an idea?

      Same here. Seems quite a few of my fundamentals had strayed and Erik had to get me back on track. It was kind of surprising how bad I had gotten off.

      I would like to point out I was not complaining about hot summers;  rather, I enjoy them.  It's the coming cold cold winter I'm about to face that worries me.

      From late 2022 until a few months ago, I barely played (maybe two dozen rounds, total, and only four rounds in 2024).  I had my first lesson in ages (Skillest, with Erik) and grip was part of it -- mine really did get into a bad spot, and I had to (and still have to) practice the new one.  It still feels odd, but that's a good thing when adjusting (otherwise I'm probably doing the previous).   I'm going back into the office for the first time since then and I'm tempted to take a small section of pipe, keep it in a desk drawer, and periodically take it out to practice my grip.

      Great episode on GAPs. I agree 100%, this needs to be consistent. It is something you have complete control over to a high level of repeatability and precision. It is such low hanging fruit as well.  My own tendencies.  Grip - Can get too strong. I tend to not get much grip with my left pinky, and the grip can feel like it slips more into the palm. I mess around with grip size and tap wraps. I wonder if I need to get away from a big taper.  Stance - Use to be too far right. I noticed, for the first time ever, I was aiming too far left on the course last week. It was like 5-10 yards left of the target, not 20-30 yards right. Overcorrection. 🤣 It is getting better.  Posture - Way better now that I stretch and work on mobility. I could tell years ago that if I tried to keep my knees less bent, get more on the balls of my feet, I felt a stretch in my calves and hamstrings. Now, I don't, and it helps. I think people might avoid that stretch feeling because it might feel unnatural. I used to be head up as well, looking too much down the bridge of my nose. I still can catch myself doing that, especially on shorter irons. I think I have average ankle mobility. I do have to use elevated heels when I squat at the gym, or I tend to fall over forward.  I agree, if you are not practicing this then you can become lax. For about the entire first half of this season, I was just waltzing up to the ball without aiming. I still catch myself being lazing. I have to step back and actually aim. I think adding this into your practice sessions is easy. Just do it before ever rep at the range. Just make it a conscious effort on the course.  For the tee shot, the only time you can kind of use an alignment aid (other divot or maybe something is lying on the ground). I tend to use that to help me aim. I try to imagine a straight line that I align my body to.
