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.

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.

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?

      7 Wood

      By trombettista_vecchio ·

      I tried hybrids way back when TaylorMade introduced the copper orange Firesole Rescue, the clubhead having been made of titanium which was still relatively new even in drivers back then. I couldn't hit it well at all, and while the success of hybrids suggests that the modern ones must be quite good,  I'm perfectly happy with the 5, 7, and 9-woods.  Early ones of mine were Top Flite Intimidator 400s made by Spalding... and also made of titanium, now that I think of it.  I still have them in my basement. I do bag a driving iron, but it's a one-trick-pony that never sees fairway use.

      New Maxfli Tour and Tours Balls?

      By trombettista_vecchio ·

      The last time I played Maxfli balls, Dunlop was still making them. How long ago was that? Mostly, though, I used to play Top Flites (original 336 dimple model) when Spalding was still making them. Now I play the Pro V1x. Last time that I ordered some, Titleist was still making them. Let's see how long that lasts.

      My Favorite Putts

      By trombettista_vecchio ·

      Once, on a course in Middleton, Massachusetts that I used to love but has since closed down,  I hit the wrong half of a huge, UK style double green.  Then I made the hundred foot putt.  Tough to  forget that one.

      Are you a Better Golfer than a Year Ago?

      By trombettista_vecchio ·

      No. But if I can still play next year, I'll almost certainly be even worse. That's the reality of not being young.🙁
