Taylormade TP Forged Iron Review 2009
Taylormade TP Forged Iron Review 2009
I'll be honest I dont play much Taylormade but when we had a set returned to us I couldn't resist taking it out for a spin on the course. This set was shafted with NS1150 ( my old choice of shaft ) 4-PW at .25″ shorter than U.S standard which is perfect for me and my steep downward strike. Keep in mind that most of my reviews will be based on other ultra high end clubs not your normal stuff you find at the local golf store. If it's gonna be the best it needs to rank with the best.
Feel: 3/5 Points
The new TM TP feel's very good, it's forged of S25C and you can clearly tell that it isnt a cast product upon impact. In recent months I have been hitting some Japan made irons that are very hard to compete with like The Yamaha Limited Tour Edition, Epon AF-Tour, Miura MB5003, and the PPM Pro Performance model. The TM TP can honestly stand with them in most departments yet Taylormade R7 CGB Max Series not all and while it would be at the bottom of this list in regards to feel without a doubt it stands atop the best in the U.S domestic market easily.
Forgiveness: 4/5 Points
Please keep in mind the 4/5 is when compared to players cavity backs and muscle back designs. The TM TP is more forgiving than the blades I have hit recently and it especially shines on heel and toe shots. It shares about the same amount of forgiveness as the Yamaha Limited Tour's, yet nowhere near the Epon AF701. I found the Taylormade to more forgiving than the TourStage 701 iron. It's no ping but any single digit with decent ball striking can handle this iron with ease. Compared to bigger U.S domestic Irons I have hit it's no where near a Ping in forgiveness but also it doesnt look as crazy either and isnt nearly as large.
Accuracy: 4/5 Points
Taylormade R9 Forged Irons
Well the ball likes to go straight, even on some mis hit shots. If your using the right shaft, lie, length and other fitted aspects I see this iron doing well for a wide range golfers even into the mid handicap range provided they hit the ball with the face fairly well. In my personal findings a smaller more compact iron head heightens awareness of face at impact and direction over using larger heads that send the ball high and straight on mis hits. The Taylormade TP Forged 2009 Japan model is very solid in accuracy and I attribute much of that to its forgiveness to size ratio.
