I've been waiting for some new TM TP irons, the current ones just did not do it for me.  Hopefully some nice clean irons with the TP logo are coming soon???

I want to see something classic looking, with a little technology implemented, but not a weight plug.  I never gave the MB's a look based on their appearance.  There's no reason TMAG can't release an elegant blade that their staff would pick up on.  It seems a few staffers are still playing R9's,  the MB's never really caught on and that translated to the buying public.  I only know one guy I play with that tinkered with the MB's and he wasn't wild about them.

Still love my RAC MB's, wish they would release Kaymer's irons with conforming grooves.

They need to go back to the classics... The 2005 TP CB's, and the Smoke RAC MB's. They could juice them up like they want, but keeping it clean and basic, with a classic appeal will draw more people to their line than previous. They've made their Burner or RBZ line up looking like childrens toys, so they need something else to balance their line up.

not sure what some of you feel but the last line of TP were some of the best made irons, I have and am playing the tp cb and find them to be some of the best around, get  the right shaft for your swing and look out, the MB are sweet as well.

At the TaylorMade US open cocktail party I spoke with one of the guys from the tour van. He said he has seen it and it's awesome!  That's all I could get out of him.....

I wonder if this will be a series of irons or just one new set.  It should be interesting and I cannot wait!

I love my MCs.  This last series of irons have been very good.

Knowing TM, it'll be one set, that you can adjust to make it a MB, MC, or CB, depending on your swing for that day.... ;)

Actually, that would be pretty cool.

Rumor has it, that TM is coming with a mega players iron... They have only let guys test at the Kingdom in order to try and keep it a secret... I have not seen them, but have heard that it is an insane set of players irons!!! With a early to late fall release, you may start to see a couple of guys on the range with them testing...

Can't wait to get some more info on these. I am always amazed by the number of R9 TP's in the bags of TM staffers. Maybe a good standard to emulate.

Forged or cast....doesn't really matters to me. With the soft cast that TM has used in their "B" blades of the last few years, I am not sure it matters as much as it used to.

I made a post about this a month or two back when the MB's first left their website and no one had anything. I've been paying very close attention to all the TM players at the open and every time they follow through I pause my tv to look and they are all still playing the MB/MC irons. Something has to be coming soon.

I went from the R7s to the TP MCs this year and they are an absolutely wonderful iron. I don't know why everybody bashes on them, especially over the weight in the back. I don't care what it looks like from the back side. It could have Elton John painted in the cavity and it'd still play the same. I don't hit it from that side of the club. The feel is superb for these when you hit them solid and you definitely know when you don't. I have no desire to look at anything else for a long time.

I use to play the Smoke RAC irons but since then I have not felt good in any TM irons. I really hope to see something new and different. I would love to see them come out with something like the MP59's and MP69's or  even take a look at the New Adams Irons and put the TM Technology to it.  I tried every iron on the market in January  and landed on the Muira CB-501's. Last week I went through the TM line up, MP69's and the New adams CMB irons and even though Adams has half the financial backing for R&D they have a better iron than TM is offering right now and Mizuno puts everyones sticks to shame. I would love to see TM make a great iron again. I am a 3 handicap and my nephew is a 11 handicap and they have nothing for either of us. Thats a problem. I would love to play a new set of TM irons.

The MC's are the same 899 price everywhere.  The CB's have been discounted since the R11's came out.  I love my clubs but they do need to get back to a 05 TP CB style.  Those were the best playing cavity's ever.

I would love to see a classic iron from them but the chances of that are slim to none and slim is out to lunch

Ouch!  I'd love to see a "B" in the RBZ line as well.  A clean looking blade or cavity blade will suffice me too...

An updated 300 Forged would be awesome (maybe a 350 Forged).

Cobra was smart enough to release an Amp forged. you think TM would make some RocketBladez or something.

TM is releasing a RocketBladez only it will be a hockey stick instead of a golf club.

I would like to see them take some of the technology of the Burner 2.0, which I am currently playing, and build an iron like my old RAC LT2's or the 320 irons which I dearly loved....

I still love my TMaG Tour Preferred irons. Great set of irons, I've been using them for years. It's going to take something really great to knock them out of my bag.
