are these things really going to be that much better than the rocket bladez or is it just marketing hype? I like the rocket bladez, looking to maybe pick some up when the speed bladez come out and the rockets become cheaper. taylor made is saying theyre the biggest advancement since woods became metal. what do u think?

it's funny they said that about metal woods seeing as the first metal woods weren't any better than the persimmon woods they replaced.

They will be good irons just like the RocketBladez are.  I doubt you'd notice a difference between the two if you hit them but SpeedBladez are newer so they will be marketed as better

Hit them at a demo day this week. They felt pretty nice. Standard shafts are very light.

I like it when TM keeps coming out with new stuff because their old stuff just keeps dropping in price.  Just picked up a set of Rocketbladz I've been looking at.  Dropped to $599 and got them for $525.  With what I got on trade for my Pings I had very little money out of pocket.

I buy clubs like I do TVs, phones, etc....Shop and find what I like then wait 6 months to a year and get them cheap as old news.  Just like I got an iphone 4s for 99 cents.  It was good a year ago and still is.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Went back to controlling my knees. That part was getting a bit sloppy when I worked on my backswing. Right hip didn't slide or gain internal rotation. I would just rotate back and around and the left knee would be in a bad spot. Really focusing now on keeping my left knee very stable and straighter in the backswing. I can't go back to the old pattern of overturning the hips. I was returning to my old pattern to time my downswing. Turn forever.  Left knee controls both knees and hips, acting as an anchor. Feel like it straightens a bit.   Hinge sooner and faster. Not in a way that sends the hands out and flips the club over. I still noticed when the hands get to A2.5, the hands would want to flip over and flatten the club out a ton.  Still trying to figure out how to roll the forearms a bit open and not just roll the club inside a ton.  Figure out the timing to get the hands down. Still getting a bit of right elbow collapsing in the downswing because the arms are too high when I turn. Everything is happening sooner now. If the hips are controlled, the backswing is shortened. Because it is shortened I don't know when to get the hands down and I just turn because the downswing is a go.  Very slow (50%) swings are decent.

      Day 207-12 Wider backswing and arm reconnecting in downswing. Did a much better job with proper wrist movements through downswing today.
