Those irons and wedges are absolutely gorgeous. What won't be is the price tag, way out of my league . I mean, we knew it was coming, but the R9 irons are nothing compared to how tight these look. Taylormade takes over the market one time plz.

Ever play with the Eidolon wedges? They claim to have the dual bounce as well, and ive heard alot of good things about them.

The r11 irons have such a clean look to them...I cant imagine what its like to randomly get two unreleased sets of clubs delivered to you...id be like a kid on xmas!!!

15 cap mainly due to a terrible drive (something like 20% FIR) and short game (10% u+ds). i pure my irons nice, maybe one mis-hit a round, so i went high quality with those.

so i went with R9 TPs with stiff shafts.

heaven. ball flight is a little high, but shaping shots and the feel at impact is pure heaven.

shame you need to be a complete player to do well at this golf thing.

edit: those r11s are very wow. btw, what's the deal with the screw+hexything at the back?

All their new irons have that, its either their standard weight changing ability... or they have wedges that allow you to change the face as the grooves wear so you just change the faceplates and not the entire club...

did fap... would fap again.

Yes being a complete player helps a bunch, but unless you only play courses very long, you would only need your Driver on a few holes. 2/3 iron out and a long to short iron would be possible on most par 4s and all par 5s. Being very good with the irons this strategy should bring you down from hdc 15.

How do you hit your 3 wood?

Just bought some Mizuno MX-300 irons and MP T-10 wedges. Haven't played a round yet, but curious to see how they compare to the Eye 2s I've been playing for the past several years. Definitely time for a change. Or maybe not...

very well. slight draw, 260 or so, and i nut it good either off the turf or tee. i really should hit it more than i do, especially for <400 holes or par 5s with tighter fairways and just go for the GIR. But I just love laying a drive 300 yds down the pipe. also, i'm LH so it's not easy finding a good 2i. i hit a 3h for 230 and the 3i for 215 and keep them both in my bag along with a 3w and D, so i find myself hitting the 3h of shorter tighter tee boxes.

keep in mind that last year was the first year I ever played golf more than twice in a summer. i struggled to break 100 all year, and then one day in late july i realized that "transfer your weight" does not mean "slide your hips back in your backswing". i confirmed this by holding my mouse cursor over tiger's back hip in a slomo youtube video. within two weeks i was mid-80s consistently, making GIRs from all over the map, and at the end of the summer i bought the irons. iron shots have a playable draw and misses tend to be hooks but i'm not missing them much anymore. to protect against that i've opened my iron stance an inch or so.

my driver misses have always been solidly hit push-slices. that said, i've been striping my driver since last fall after closing my driver stance about an inch or two. i put up a 38 on the front 9 yesterday (home course is about 71.5/136). of course, i got so excited about breaking 80 i put up a 46 on the back including driving OB on each of the last two holes. next time.

in short, if i was really playing competitively, i'd probably play conservative and hit the 3w or 3r more often. but i'm stupid and young and me like hit big ball.

I bought those yesterday.

Went through the whole thread and didnt see one person playing mizuno mp 32s wtf! I play mizuno mp32s with stiff KBS shafts along with a black finished KBS shaft in my wedges. TM RAC black finish 52* and then Titleist Vokey Spin Milled 56* and 60* wedges. Couldnt be happier.

These are sick clubs. My best friend has them and I liked them alot and almost got them!

Just thought I'd throw a quick review of the new R11 irons: played 2 rounds with them this week, plus hit lots of balls. Compared to the MC's (my current set), the ball flight is higher, and they are about 1/2 club longer (4-6 yards based on on-course shots hit with similar contact). The leading edge on the r11's is much more rounded so it doesn't dig near as much as the MCs. R11's have KBS shaft in them, which feels good and is consistent (the MC's have Nippon 1050X). The top is a little thicker, and the sound is different (a little more clicky). Looks don't really matter too much to me, so that is not an issue, but it might be to some. They are not as thick & offset as the Burner 2.0, though.

When the trackman arrives we'll do some data testing to see actual distance and trajectory differences.

So far, I really like them, and I'll probably put them into play full time soon.

man I want those r11s so bad, but no chance since I just picked up a burners plus set beg of last yr, I think my next purchase is wedges or an r11 driver but I've only had my r7 for 3 yrs so I doubt I can justify the purchase

oh and I suck at golf also

Can anyone in the know give me an idea of the playability of these shafts: Titleist AP2 710 irons 4-PW with KBS C-taper shafts (R-flex)

I am looking at a local buy/sell advert for those AP2s and I have no idea if the shafts would be right for me. The seller states that that R-Flex in the KBS c-taper plays more like a stiff, would that be a correct assessment? I really want a pair of ap2s, but I don't want to spend retail price on them. I currently play R7s and I have no idea what shafts are in them, but I think they are true temper and they are stiff.

any help would be appreciated!

The RAC's are still TaylorMades best looking iron...
