PICS & INFO! TaylorMade's Super Tour Iron!

[HipCheck]

OK, we have been anticipating some pictures of the new TaylorMade irons since JUNE on GolfWRX (see this thread if you want a long read) and finally here is some info.

GolfWRX's first photos on the ground of Sean O'Hair testing new TaylorMade Tour irons. O'Hair said "It's unlike any iron I have ever hit. Blown away by performance."

He compared the performance to flighted rifle shafts: He can flight the short irons, but hit the long irons high. (If you look at great iron players both today and in the past, you'll know these are keys to the iron game).

TaylorMade Executive Vice President Sean Toulon said what TaylorMade is about to do will completely change how TOUR players look at an iron.

Of course, the proof is in the pudding. During practice rounds, O'Hair had these gems...

On the 3rd hole, O'Hair had 191 uphill into a breeze. He struck a 6 iron straight up in the air -- no ballooning -- to 2ft. The bad news is O'Hair's RBZ Rescue is no longer needed. On the 9th, he smoked a 3-iron 238 yards that landed soft. He smiled and said "the rescue is out."

Enjoy the pics. We'll add info as we can get it. Oh, and yes, that is simply camo badging to disguise the final look. Hoping to get some peeks at the finished product soon.

sound slots?

So whats in the cavity. Looks like a white board and he just took a sharpie and scribbled all over it.

[kekoa]

Is that camo in the cavity?

they look interesting. I'm not a fan of chrome though. would like some addy pics.

[grip6]

Is that a slot in the sole, ala rbz fairways???

Apparently the badging is camouflage. Not what they will look like when released.

EDIT: you edited! lol

[drifter12]

[jaskanski]

Anyone else think they look a bit AP2-ish?

Yeah, but bigger maybe?

[CHRIS509]

I take it that's some kind of camouflage on a proto iron???

If not TM's Ap2 copy cheap

[scratchswinger]

The irons look intriguing and I applaud the innovation. But whats even more interesting is the sales pitch that TMAG has already started and I am not a hater. But with these irons, the RBZ 3 wood and Ghost putters, drivers are not needed, rescues are not needed and putts will never be offline. Is there any reason that TMAG players should not win every single tournament? When will their hats make players not feel pressure.

[eddie_max]

No interchangeable iron shafts yet?

[golfware]

So TM took the looks of an AP2 and added a velocity slot in the long and mid irons to probably increase distance and LA. Interesting.

[living_for_golf]

looks nice, hopefully they'll live up to the hype

[CTEagle]

When will these be released?

Hate to read your take if you were a hater.

[onewest84]

Playing the MC's right now and wouldnt mind trying these out. i would probably be able to get rid of my hybrid if the 3 iron is that long.

Whew, thanks. There is still hope that this iron may look clean too.

[TheMoneyShot]

A nice clean cavity with TP logo would be perfect!!! Bring the TP logo back TM!!!!

Nice one.

[gticlay]

After 3 seasons with my R9 TP's I'm just begging for a replacement. If these are low offset (looks like it), I think I just found my next set of irons

I like TMAG and I think these irons actually look pretty cool. Their sales pitches are just so dramatic. It works though, fur sure.

[pitbull808]

Velocity slotted iron..interesting.

[freddyottawa]

Are the slots in all the irons or just the long irons? I like the look of them, definitely something different are far as technology goes in irons it seems.
