There are those in golf who feel regulatory restrictions have made it very difficult for equipment makers to innovate any more.
And the introduction of the latest TaylorMade iron line – the taylormade burner 2.0 irons - is a very much a manifestation of that attitude. It is a follow-up to the successful Burner iron that was launched 18 months ago, and company officials say it offers a number of improvements on the original.
As for the mid irons, the weight there is distributed more evenly and slightly higher to promote workability and forgiveness. And in the short irons, it is positioned even higher to enhance a lower, more controllable ball flight and centered to increase clubhead control. At the same time, the center of gravity in those clubs is closer to the face, as it would be in a blade, for better feel and to induce lower ball flight.
TaylorMade is also utilizing differing face thickness to promote more speed and distance in the long irons and more feel and control in the short ones. Top-lines are substantial and strong in the longer 2.0’s and get progressively thinner down through the set, while the multi-functional sole that was introduced with the original Burner has been improved by recessing the heel and toe and beveling the rear, so drag is reduced and cleaner, more solid contact enhanced.
TaylorMade Golf officials say that the new TaylorMade SpeedBlade irons is a cutting-edge game-improvement club designed to launch the ball exceptionally high and far. They say that the key performance feature in this product is the improved Speed Pocket, a handlebar-shaped slot in the sole of the 3- to 7-irons that enables a large area of the clubface to flex and rebound at impact, resulting in faster ball speeds, higher launches and better feel.
The new TaylorMade SpeedBlade, which is available in 8-piece sets, employs progressive shaping. The slender topline and sole in the short irons is made to promote better workability, feel and control, while the longer irons boast a bigger topline to inspire confidence at address and utilize a multi-material badge to dampen vibrations.
