Pure contact with the TaylorMade RocketBladez Irons requires a downward clubhead path that “traps” the ball against the turf. The ball is compressed between ground and clubface, maximizing velocity and spin and producing a penetrating trajectory.
Watch the pros on TV. Better yet, listen closely when they play iron shots. You’ll hear the ball hitting the club very crisply, yes, but you’ll also notice the sound of the clubhead ripping through the turf. That’s the beautiful sound of a well-trapped iron.
Low-handicap amateurs usually trap the ball, too, if not quite as consistently as the pros. The rest of us tend to sweep the ball off the grass, which diminishes velocity and backspin. Then there’s the opposite of trapping – hitting the ball on the upswing, often in an attempt to lift it off the ground. Goodbye, distance and spin. Hello, pitiful little flutterballs.
The first key to developing a trapping action is committing this phrase to memory: Hit down to get the ball up. The loft of your TaylorMade SpeedBlade Irons is more than sufficient to lift the ball off the ground – no need to “help” it into the air.
The next key lies in the setup. And it’s incredibly simple: Your hands must be ahead of the ball at address. Put another way, the shaft should tilt slightly toward your target. This positions the TaylorMade R9 Irons to enter the impact zone moving down into the ball.
