Very impressive irons. Not too much offset good look. Not a baby blue fan but I think it's a less clunky version of the Rocketbladez.

Rail on taylormade all u want for frequency of new stuff...

This looks good. With this pocket for good distance as long as it's consistent & doesn't cause hot spots. I like.
Cheaper than Callaway apex but looks great.

Haters gonna hate, but they do look niiiice.

[cane700]

Those are very nice looking irons

[curt2526]

Surprisingly great looking iron. Woods look great as usual!

[cphrey]

Love the S color scheme and those irons look awesome!

[QMany]

Those irons look really good. Pleasantly surprised.

The whole line up is growing on me. Still not sold on the whole "glued" thing, but obviously shooting for a price point. The irons look great, specs are really similar to the TP CB's. I would like to hit them against my CB's. If all I gain is distance and no major headaches, how could that be bad? #distanceforall.

[Tee1Up]

Would be a sweet set of irons if all the backs of the irons looked like the PW.

[HipCheck]

Nothing better than a chrome iron when it gets a little bag chatter.

[matchavez]

It would be more honest if they just said that this was the same set of irons with a matching badge set.

Take away the slot on the bottom and they remind me of an AP1/AP2 combo. I like the look, they're sharp.

Looks like another new KBS offering? [color=#444444]Tour C-Taper 90, adding an even lighter version of the CT, available in only R and S flexes (at least for this model?).[/color]

[chip75]

These look nice, the bit where the top-line flows into the neck is a bit funky (which I think would put some players off) with the longer irons but the wedge looks very nice. Very shiny.

I agree.... Looks like TMAG has something that they can do battle with and try an take on the AP2

[youngwaldo]

The only two players I can see using the irons would be Perry and Villegas.

Please let that driver feel/sound like the good old bonded TM drivers. If it does...sign me up!

SLDR irons reminds me a bit of the Mizuno MP-54, which is a good thing. I think i have finally found my R11 irons replacement.

[newportbeach]

So is the S in the woods line for more spin?

[Lesmond]

Fairway wood looks nice!

Are they supposed to be more forgiving than the original SLDR?

[mgilly200]

So hit the Mini yesterday with a 7.2 TS in X flex and was impressed. The feel felt like it was there that I lacked in the SLDR and if the 12* degree head feels anything like the Mini with that shaft I'll own one. I love love the color scheme and thought a while back if they release that color, with a little more forgiveness, and have the right loft option it would be pretty money. We will see.

[sheppy335]

The Irons are very interesting to me.

[boggyman]

I see a Mini and Sldr irons in the bag before long!!

[DrunkenTiger]

are they forged irons?

I don't think they are. Especially not the ones with the 'speed pocket' in them. 7 to 3 irons.

[JeRD]

A little random, but are the wood headcovers still the same blue/white combination as the existing SLDR line?

Either way, I'm a huge fan of the matte gray finish. I picked up the Mini-driver last week and love it. I do like the look of the irons. Can't pull me away from the TP version though.

[spurcell42]

Everything looks great, especially the irons. The finish on the woods is reminiscent of Callaway's X-Hot lines, which is a good thing because the matte grey looks great. Would love to give the 3 wood and 3 hybrid a go.

Geez...I don't know. It's either these irons or the Nike Covert Forged. Although I have a ton of TMag stuff...I'm leaning more towards Nike. Any opinions? Please don't say "buy 'em both"! I'm apt to do that too. Lord...give me strength.

Ahh, come on Bob. That is what BST is for...to clean up after all the "testing". :-)

[surreality]

I'm really digging the irons. They look really nice and clean without a lot of offset. I can't wait to hit them when they come out. Looks like the technology of Adams "pass-thru" slot is making its way to the Taylormade side.
