Wouldn't it be something if Sean won with these in the bag this week in Vegas?

the groove in the sole is so when you hit it thin, it will still go 17 yards longer.

So disappointed. They have that cheap shiny chrome finish that made the R9TPs look battered after a few rounds. Players irons are about precision not brute force. If I want to hit a knock down wedge into a tight pin I don't want an extra 10 yards thanks very much.
Looking more like Mizzy for my 2013 irons.

Scary part.  This post is up to 30 pages.  And has been going for what 3-4 months.   The thread on the new irons is a few days old and is already on 8 pages.   So which thread will be longer.  

I for one am anxious and curious about the new irons.   If the slot gives feel or distance or accuracy or what.   Will they knock my current irons out of the bag?  Depends if I can come up with a good enough excuse to tell the wife...

lol, im not kidding, and by no means am i a beast. my swing speed is about 104, and they must have been factory lemons.  that has never happened to me before with taylormade and any other oem.  im saying that its their track record in the past that has been giving them a great rep. i am partially wrong because the r7 and r9, and burner drivers were all awesome clubs.  what i mean is that imo, tmag has sacrificed quality on the rbz and r11s lines. how many of u guys that own these drivers and metal woods have ur soles already worn down after one season? i work at a private club, and i saw one member (hes a 3 cap) get an rbz 3 tp wood, and within a month, the sole on the club was worn down.  i think that taylormade has such a huge fan base from a while back that its automatic to think that every club they come out with is awesome.  what im trying to say is if tmag continues to make clubs with this kind of quality and that people actually realize this, is that their market share could decrease a lot

The soles are painted. Clearly the paint will come off if you are continually brushing the ground at +- 100mph. With that being said, I've had an RBZ 3 wood and R11 DOT in the bag all year and they're still in great shape. I really doubt that the clubs will rapidly deteriorate aesthetically unless you abuse them in some way (club slammer, no head covers...). To say that they have sacrificed quality might be a bit of an over reaction. They are definitely not the first OEM that comes to mind when I think of broken drives (cracked face, crown, caved face etc) - that award goes handedly to Callaway.

Are you a club slammer by any chance?

So who wants to hear something ironic, and irritating? After vouching for quality, I cracked the face on my R11 DOT this morning. I was NOT a happy camper but was able to swap on an R11s head for the round and hit it really really well. Here's a pic of the damage. Doesn't look like much, but I might as well be hitting it with the head cover still on. It goes NOWHERE!!

On a happy note, I sent my putter to the custom shop today

Hi guys,

My first post on golf wrx, I'm from the UK. Just posting because while at work on Friday afternoon I spotted a TaylorMade RocketBladez wedge on Sports Illustated's website. In fact if you google 'Taylormade RocketBladez Sports Illustated', the page is still there, but the image has been taken down. It was a traditional looking blade with a slot as expected to match these new Rocketbladez irons.
