The SpeedBlade is specifically designed to improve those shots. To be honest, I like its technology very much. The key technology in the new Taylormade SpeedBlade irons is the Speed Pocket, featured on the 3 to 7 iron. The handle-bar shaped slot in the sole of the irons allows the face to flex at impact, increasing ball speed and launch.
TaylorMade's research found that over 70% of shots hit by golfers with a handicap between 5 and 25, are struck below the center of the face. This type of strike typically results in lower launching, inconsistent shots. These slots provides even more flex in the face at impact. Add it all together, and TaylorMade say the SpeedBlade iron has the fastest face they have ever created.
Whilst TaylorMade are not making any distance guarantees, they do say the new SpeedBlade 6-iron traveled more than 10 yards farther and 4% higher than the TaylorMade R11 Irons. Each wedge has a heavier steel shaft than a standard SpeedBlade iron, to further improve short game performance and consistency.
Why compare to a TaylorMade Burner 2.0 Irons? Well TaylorMade's 2011 research suggested the average replacement cycle for "core golfer" is 4.9 years. "Five years ago we challenged ourselves to create the best iron we could," said Bazzel. "We've taken everything we've learned since then and created our most complete iron ever in the SpeedBlade."
As well as a high launch and faster ball speeds, the SpeedBlade's progressive shaping has been has been engineered to offer a performance suited to its role in a golfer's bag.
