TaylorMade staff player O’Hair, who has four PGA Tour titles to his name, became the first player to win with the new Taylormade RocketBladez irons. TaylorMade engineers incorporated the Speed Pocket into RocketBladez irons to promote faster ball speed and a higher launch angle to promote longer, high-flying, quick-stopping shots. The iron, says TaylorMade, features remarkable new technology that promotes high launching, long, straight and quick-stopping performance for golfers of all abilities. RocketBladez’ key new technology lies in its Speed Pocket – inspired by the distance enhancing benefits of the Taylormade RocketBallz fairway wood and Rescue clubs. “We created RocketBladez irons for amateurs but when our Tour staff players tried it, they wanted it,” added King. “They love it. It’s the first distance-oriented iron to be played on Tour. “The genius of the Speed Pocket is that not only does it deliver more speed for more distance, it delivers consistent speed so shots fly a consistent distance. That combination of speed and distance is what made the eyes of Tour pros light up.” The 3- through 7-irons boast the most sophisticated clubface TaylorMade has ever created for a Tour iron, fashioned from fast, high-strength stainless steel with improved Inverted Cone design. The Speed Pocket advantage is especially effective on impact made low on the face - TaylorMade studies indicate that 68% of iron shots by amateurs are mishits below the centre of the face. In order to combat this, the Speed Pocket helps to significantly increase ball speed and distance on those low-face mishits. You might expect it to be chunky with lots of offset, but you would be wrong. They are not blades (despite the name) and the mid-sized heads had a generous but not too thick top line and the offset was no more than you would expect on an average iron. RocketBladez, especially the long irons, will be in the bags of a wide range of players.
