Taylormade Satin RAC MB’s - 2mm hosel stamps - non “coin”

GuitarsGolfKY · August 17, 2020

I picked up some taylormade rac mbs on eBay. I honestly got them for the kbs c taper shafts and basically some free blade heads. Given that my favorite gap wedge is a rac mb 52 with 8* bounce.

so I get them today and I notice they don’t have any milling on face or back, they’re satin finished And they don’t say coin forged. They just say forged. The pw is by far the most worn and it says coin forged and is chrome actually. But 3-9 just say forged with satin and no milling. The’n the 5-7 have 2mm stamped on the hosel. As someone that has wanted the rac miura cbs forever I’m getting excited. The 3-9 appear to be consistent 2mm offset but only 5-7 are stamped 2mm.

what did I get? Lucky as hell? I seriously bought them because they went for less than a set of c taper shafts ala carte.

Pics are in order 4 iron 7 iron both faces

The FORGED hosel are the Miura heads and are extremely soft. Years ago, I had a set of the non 2mm offset FORGED heads and they were extremely soft and very high quality. The COIN FORGED is retail. All the tour issue sets from that era were satin finish IIRC.

I also owned the tour version of the RAC CBs and the MBs were considerably softer.

so you’re saying all these but the pitching wedge were miura forged? For sure?

they all look to be 2mm offset. Or they are very minimally progressive offset. I’m 95% sure they’re all 2mm as the 3 iron looks minimal offset and the 9 iron looks like a lot of offset

is This info confirmed anywhere. I hit them today and even with the kbs ctapers (a shaft I couldn’t even come close to hitting in titleist 716cb and those were just the 115 r+). They felt soft and amazing. And the ctapers just seemed super long and flat trajectory combined with a bit of the old rising on the long irons (Witt range balls which I -always seem to spin range balls a s*** load)

I scored some 8.5/10 Hogan 2003 apex blades on eBay recently. It was tough deciding between the two but the taylormades were really nice. I’m no ace golfer. And I’ve never understood “turf interaction” but today I was tossing dicots out 20-30 yards with my 7 iron rac. I would have thought I didn’t hit the ground except for seeing the divot fly off to the eff of target wi the ball fading right onto target.

really fun range session. I’ll try out the 4 iron next but I’m stuck on my j38 dpc for a 4 right now.

thanks for the help!
