Rocketbladez tour v tour preferred mc

[jswoosh]

hi all I current use rocketbladez tour with project x 6.0 shafts and I'm considering moving to the 2014 tour preferred mc irons that my mate is selling. They have kbs tour x shafts in. I suppose my question is is there a big enough difference to warrant the change and will the shafts in the mc be too stiff for me ? I started playing properly this year and have come down from a handicap of 13 to 9.1. My driver swing speed is now around 110mph. Any thoughts ?

the shafts are probably not too stiff, may feel a touch stiff, but the biggest difference will be in the heads. The MCs are much softer and the lofts are 1 degree weaker (I think). You'll hit them shorter and lower, but they'll feel great and be able to work the ball better. I hit the Rocketbladez tour 10+ yards longer, but had a tough time working it and keeping the flight low. My current irons are all TP Forged combo with Project X 6.0 - 3,4 CB / 5,6,7 MC / 8,9,W MB Lmk if you'd like more specifics. Ben

Thanks Ben One of the lads at my club has some c taper 130s in his clubs, he said I can have a hit with his so I'll see how they fly. I was told they would help my ball flight which is a quite high. Re the clubs I really fancy the TP s , I've seen a few sets now but really like the idea of a split set like you've got., how do they fit in for distances ? Jim

C Tapers are AMAZING!! I was too cheap to pay the up charge, as the set was 1400 already and have regretted it ever since. If you have a high ball flight the C Tapers in X should help. I also love the satin finish. The only difference btwn the CB and MB is CB has a 46 degree wedge and the MC and MB have 47. As long as you combine all the flavors of TP you did be fine. If you tried to play your Rocketbladez tour, you'd have a big gap. I plan on throwing some sensicore inserts into mine BC if you don't pure them, you do get some harsh feedback. Heel strikes are particularly jarring. Toe shots aren't as bad. Lmk if you need more feedback
