TaylorMade company unveiled new Taylormade SpeedBlade irons, which succeed the R11 irons and feature an enhanced "Speed Pocket."
While the SpeedBlade's thicker toplines and wider soles should instill confidence for mid- and high-handicap golfers, Toulon says that accomplished players will benefit from the technologies designed into the new irons. For me, the RocketBladez is one of the greatest game improvement irons on the market today.
While TaylorMade will no doubt suggest the SpeedBlade is equally as revolutionary as what came before it, in my opinion, the SpeedBlade represents only evolutionary progress. Placing clubhead down at address during my testing session at Hersham Golf Club and the most striking difference from RocketBladez to SpeedBlade is that the innovative Speed Pocket in the 3- to 7-iron is now not such a 'little thing' anymore. It's a little wider, a little length-ier and in the shape of a handle bar.
The Taylormade R11 irons for sale technology includes meaningful talking points about several elements: The thin-faced design (just two millimeters thick on the 4-iron, for instance) includes the company's inverted cone in the face to improve off-center hit ballspeed. A weight port in the back of the undercut cavity allows for more precision in matching the proper head weights for consistency and the wide variety of shaft lengths and weights.
Wahl said that in the first few versions of grooves on cast irons that came after the new rule was implemented, manufacturers had to err toward produceability. He also said that clubs that have milled grooves, like forged irons, tend to have more precision built into the groove than can be achieved in cast design irons, which are made in much greater numbers.
"I contend the new grooves we've put on the R11 irons are better today than grooves were in the past because we know more now," says Bret Wahl, senior director of iron development at TaylorMade, who indicated the new groove design produces 16 percent more spin on a pitching wedge from the fairway than in the TaylorMade Burner 2.0 Irons.
"We've found edge radii to be the number one thing," he said. "Less than one-thousandth of an inch of difference can have the value of a thousand rpm of spin." Source from: http://www.golfsetau.com/article-463-Looking-at-latest-Taylormade-SpeedBlade-and-r11-irons.html
