Price: £800.00
The TaylorMade irons were designed with low handicappers in mind. For those players, they look great, and perform solidly.
Design and Tech Benefits
This is probably the classiest looking forged iron out there - the look alone is sure to entice plenty potential buyers. But you'll have to be sure of your own ability to swing these with success. The wider sole has a rounded leading edge allowing the club to glide through the turf to help when striking is not spot on. The forging process should give this a responsive feel to help judging distances.
Golf Monthly Verdict
Only the best players need bother trying these because we found they weren't too forgiving. They look great and perform well, well worth thinking about if you can afford the hefty price tag.

One of the most solid irons ever made. They deliver a powerful ball flight and are very long. Despite the small cavity back they are not very forgiving by todays standards. Despite being forged they feel a little harsh and hard.
Still a great club abd superior to many modern day clubs

As a mid hadicapper and previously used the Callaway x-forged irons the CBs do hit the ball further however they don't feel as soft as the Callaways but are still a great iron.I would also recommend project x flighted shafts fitted. A great looking club !
