Calling out to TM Experts

[Sergiogarwiia]

I recently bought a set of TM TP-tour irons for $11 and gave them a little touch up.

From the article below I think they would be from around late 1980's (same font as the '87 Tour Preferred TD's) or the early 1990's (same logo as the ICW-5 and ICW-11.

Who has more information on these for me. I was told they were cast irons, but they feel like forged. Anyone have an exact year? Any Pro's played them?

Thank you for any information you can provide.

I can't help you, but just wanted to say nice pick up. I had a set of TDs back in the day, so these take me back to my youth! I would guess that yours are cast, like the TDs, but I can offer no proof. What are they like to hit?

Hi NCN, I can tell you they are a dream when you pure them. Anything remotely out of the center will break your fingers though and massive loss of distance, especially with this cold weather.

That said, they are now my second favorite set and pretty close behind number 1.

Early 90s. TM version of the TP19. Stunning to look at but not very forgiving. Very popular on European Tour. Most came with original Rifle shafts.They must have been forged in Japan as like Maruman they had a great looking pitching wedge then gap and sand iron with huge soles and a massive amount of bounce. A local player won the Scottish Amateur with a set. He nailed it and would have made a great Pro...had he been able to control his temper.

Serg-

 

These are Tour Preferred (TP) Tour Irons from TaylorMade.

 

These "TP Tour" stamps, not the ICW models.

 

Any LH models made? To my knowledge, very few.

 

Superb find!
