I have a set of Taylormade MC Irons and wanted to see if any one knows what gram The factory weights are in the weight port in the back of the head?.....The irons are a touch on the heavy side and want to get some lighter weights but need to know how heavy the factory weights are.....Thanks.

I found the 2012 MC specs amid the TM site. The combo specs and marketing sheet, however, just says the weights can be varied for precise swingweight. Stock weight for the numbered irons was D2, the PW was D3.

http://demandware.edgesuite.net/aais_prd/on/demandware.static/Sites-TMaG-Site/Sites-TMaG-Library/default/dw1dcac703/docs/productspecs/TM_SPR_2012_Catalog_24.pdf

I suggest you might remove one of the weights, and weigh it on a precision gram scale and see yourself. Does the set come with a weight tool, or does TM prefer a clubsmith do such removals?

For head weighting, lightening the weight by  2 grams would decrease the swingweight by about one unit.

The GolfWorks catalog from 2012 showed TM head weights for woods and drivers, but none for irons.

    • Several years ago I got paired with a twosome of golfers, one of which had a maybe 5-year-old son with him. The kid had a putter and a 7i with him, and on some holes he would drop a ball near the green, chip on, and putt. If the kid started to get distracted, the dad would ask, "Do you need to rest?" The kid would nod yes, and then take his dad's seat riding in the cart for a couple of holes. It was a slow day, and the kid was polite and friendly. We got through 18 just fine. (If it had been a crowded course day, I'm sure it would have been less pleasant.)
    • Caution for the seniors on weight training: Listen to your body. (I'm 75) I got a recent session with an orthopedist after a training-related injury. I put too much weight on a new resistance machine at the gym and ended up with bursitis in my left hip. Of course, it's the hip I dislocated back in 2023. I have my first physical therapy session tomorrow. I remarked that some days I can do 45 lbs. chest press - two sets - without much effort. But other days it drops down to 30 (😩) with just one set. (Complicating factor: I had digestive problems in this fall and lost about 20 lbs., with slip in muscle tone.) Orthopedist said that I want to feel some resistence, but that I should go with lots of reps with manageable weights rather than trying to set some sort of lift-pound record. I'm sure I'll get some refinements on lifting during tomorrow's PT.
