Leaked: 2014 Taylormade TP CB, MC and MB iron photos

Published

on

Another day, another leak TaylorMade’s soon-to-be released Tour Preferred (TP) irons.

The name of the irons pictured above, MC, stands for “muscle cavity.” They are expected to be the medium-sized offering of the three Tour Preferred irons that TaylorMade will release this year, along with smaller Forged MB (muscle back) and a larger CB (cavity back) irons.

post-127770-0-71923600-13842775461

Previous MC irons from TaylorMade were by no means “distance irons,” as they offered just a bit more forgiveness than the company’s MB designs. But the addition of a Speed Pocket on the sole of the long and mid irons (pictured above) should be a catalyst for adding more ball speed and forgiveness to the clubs.

 A TP Badge? Our sources says no. TaylorMade will likely opt for the words “Tour Preferred” instead of the TP badge. Click the image to enlarge it and see the grainy details. 

Yesterday, TaylorMade leaked early photos of the 2014 TP Forged MB irons on its site (the picture above with the yellow boxes). What should be noted, however, is that the TP MB irons leaked on the company’s website clearly lack the TP badging shown on the toe of the MC irons below, a strong indication that the final versions will not include a TP badge, but rather the words “Tour Preferred.”

We know, we know. The TP badge is _______ sweet. But we’re told by our sources, including original poster MorikawaTMAG, that the badge did not make the final cut for production.

    No way these are really leaked. GolfWRX pulled the Ping i25 pictures down in a heartbeat once they made it into the forum. Let’s call a spade a spade guys…

    Used to like taylormade back in the day – but have become a mizuno convert – MP64’s are unreal and feel like nothing else – not good enough to play MP4’s – in the short irons the fe

    I’m around an 8. I currently play RBZ irons with KBS 90 shafts. I’m confident that I have enough game to play the CB 4-7 and the MC 8-PW. These clubs better have KBS shafts in them. I’m wondering if I have enough swing speed to play KBS Tour stiff. I currently play stiff in the 90, but I know light shafts are weaker than tour shafts.

    Take it from somebody who works in a golf store and is a decent golfer. I am about a 7 handicap so i am good enough to tell the difference between good irons and not so good irons. For the average golfer, these clubs will be a waste of money! They release better player forged irons every 3 years or so because they are aiming for a much smaller variety of people. Bottom line, one of these three is going in my bag because i still have burners that are made for the higher handicap and i hit my 50 degree A wedge 140 which is too long for my liking. If you are under a 10 handicap, these are good irons to look at!

    i cant beleive i actually read all of these comments and got sucked into it 🙂

    my 2 cents…..TM has the deepest pockets and also probably has the largest following…..including the pay roll on the tour{s}
    so marketing, payrolls, product releases has to be happening much more often. But i beleive there is only so many improvements, enhancements,gimmicks before your products start to over lap what others are doing… or have done in the past.
    examples….. tm slider vs mizuno’s slider version
    someone mentioned TM new MB looks like cobra’s
    the TM cb’s /rocket bladz vs ap2,mp 54’s … etc
    I think TM’s marketing fits a big niche. Mass produce for mass market at slightly lower price point…seems to me they(tm) are always a little cheaper on the rack….and thats the plan. Make a well known product, that is quality, and a better price.
    i myself, play only 1 TM product… a 1st gen. rocketbalz 3 wood…love it. But thats all i have in my bag.
    im a golf geek like alot of you…love to tinker, try everything and have very little loyalty… but as much as i think i like other brands i always have come back to mizuno for irons. i have played 3 sets of 52’s, and on my 3rd set of 53’s…. i have tried most brands but come back to mizuno. i have even tried real hard to buy new mp54’s but my testing just doesnt do enough for me to leave my current 2 yr old irons. So without all the new releases that TM has i dont think id try their equipment as much….so their marketing works, at least on me….. and the closer their products look like their competitors, i think, the more they will get customers trying their equipment.
    Golf manufacturers have nothing if they dont have savvy marketing… we are all suckers for equipment and gimmicks
    like someone mentioned above…. with all the 10 yd increases in the newest drivers we should all be hitting drives 500 yrds !
    IMO…. the only thing better then a lowes or a homedpot store is the golfsmith or pga superstore.
    im just glad im not a pro and stuck playing the same equipment 🙂
    mizuno irons….cobra driver…tm 3 wood…cleveland wedges…tm putter…titleist bag….
    IM SO CONFUSED !!!….. but cant wait for the new releases 🙂 thanks god we all have many choices.
    if i worked for TM in marketing, id be copying off of other manufactures hot products too. Or who knows, maybe the boutique labels may have gotten into TM secret idea safe and stole their ideas… but this is great bantering , continue !!

    Taylor Made makes good equipment. Most of the manufacturers do these days. Taylor Made will sell a zillion sets for sure. I read somewhere that Taylor Made – Adidas has sales of 1.3 billion dollars this year already and 800 million dollars in Q3 alone. I guess they know what they are doing. These new irons look good and it will be interesting to try them out. I won’t buy a set new when they are just released, that’s crazy. I will wait two years until they are $200-$300 pre-owned or lightly used demo clubs. TM, Callaway, Cleveland or Cobra can introduce new clubs every 6 months for all I care it makes no difference to how I purchase clubs. It does impact the golf shops. I know think it hurts the retail shops who struggle to keep up.

    • prairiegolf

      Nov 17, 2013 at 11:22 pm

      Last sentence should read “I know it hurts the retail shops who struggle to keep up” Sorry for the typo.

    • markb

      Nov 21, 2013 at 9:43 pm

      You won’t have to wait that long for a decent price drop. Rocketbladez can now be had for $250-30O and Speedblade sets are easily bought for $350 to $450. The big Ebay fire-sellers of ARP overstock clubs are dumping several sets every day. Both are 2013 products that are still available straight from taylormade.

    Nov 16, 2013 at 11:13 am

    I work in a golf shop and you would be surprised at how many people look forward to new equipment every year. And they buy them willingly. Those guys are TMs target, not you guys who are pissed because you buy something and it is not the “latest and greatest” for very long. I am able to hit every club out there but I do not change equipment more than every other year. Get a grip folks The golf business is no different than any other business. Cars, tools, tvs, ipads…….something new every year. Shocking!

    • dave17

      If only new cars and new ipads were also 50% off retail within six to eight months of being released….

    Nov 16, 2013 at 11:12 am

    I play Taylormade woods but it’s a little false advertising for them to claim that every new type of wood or iron is 10 plus yards longer or we would all be hitting 500 yard drives by now.

    To all of the TM bashers out there on this website, Newsflash, you don’t have to buy them if you don’t want to, buy whatever you want. TM will always attempt to do 2 things, whatever it can to help golfers play better and run a profitable business. If you don’t like a club they produce or don’t think it will help you play better, then don’t buy it…its very simple. If I don’t want to date your sister because I don’t think she is attractive, I don’t go up to her and tell her how ugly she is, I make the decision I don’t want to ask her out and don’t. The same thing happens on any new story that GolfWRX puts up about a Callaway club, Ping club, Cobra club, etc…. If its not Mizuno, Miura or Titleist in some cases, it gets bashed and that is silly, all these brands exist for a reason, a wide variety of clubs for a wide variety of preferences

    • ahep52

      Nov 15, 2013 at 4:27 pm

      Yes, but just as you say that we don’t have to buy Taylor Made clubs if we don’t like Taylor Made, you don’t have to read our comments. Why do our comments bother you? Most people don’t make negative comments about a person’s sister because it is a person, not a product. Many of us are simply sick of seeing a company seek to profit as much money as possible with gimmicks, marketing, and volume rather than quality, engineering, and customer relations. So I will happily continue to bash TM until my peers realize they are being duped by millions of dollars of marketing and are buying clubs that will be worth 20% of what they paid within a few months. Your comment doesn’t bother me, I just enjoy expressing my view, which is what is done in a comment section.

        Sorry, but this is so pathetic and thank you for watching out for all the golfers. Everyone likes new shiny objects and that is what Every golf company chases. End of story!

    • Fred Swartz

      Nov 20, 2013 at 10:39 pm

      Sorry Taylormade has become the ultimate nightmare for retailer and pro shops before they can sell the 6 month old newest and best Taylormade has reintroduced the next line. If clubs could be that improved to merit a 6 month shelf life we had better take up Folf.. how about the inventory cost to keep up with Taylormade.

      • Freddy v

        Nov 21, 2013 at 4:38 pm

        Nightmare?? Are you serious?? Any smart retailer would carry their product even if it is only 6 months. It will sell. Any retailer that struggles to sell the product is either an idiot or doesn’t know how to apply an appropriate par level or keep inventory levels where they should be. To not carry taylormade would be like not selling apple products at best buy…in fact I would challenge you to find one retailer in the golf business that loses money by carrying taylormade products.

    Nov 14, 2013 at 9:14 am

    I would like to see TaylorMade come out with a new wedge instead of coming out with 5 new irons in one year. I believe they are the leaders in technology but when it comes to a good wedge Titleist and Cleveland have been doing it right for a long time now.

  16. marko

    Nov 14, 2013 at 8:46 am

    Boy with all the great stuff coming out for 2014 TM has totally missed the boat! Also it seems alot of posters only care about looks. Is that really how you pick an iron? I guess you just want to be cool and not play better.
    We all need alittle help. To make this game easy(ier). And the price is a joke. Better prices more sales,more people playing golf more money spent in the long run. For me it does not matter what OEMs release, I purchase a new set every 2 or 3 years. I have 1 more year to go on this set, It’s great I can get the 2014 for half the price in about a year.

  17. shark

    Nov 13, 2013 at 7:42 pm

    i think they are purposely knowledgeable about the great desire to see the old tp logo on the new irons…well they put out crap saying it will say the words tour preferred, everyone gets the panties in a knot and then they release it with the new tp logo and sales go thru the roof. you read it here by the great white shark first.

  18. Bob

    Nov 13, 2013 at 7:25 pm

    What a bunch of crap. Do they really think the average golfer has the kind of money to buy new every 3 months? Try 3 years. Good luck making your brand into my golf bag.

    • NG

      Nov 14, 2013 at 2:38 am

      Bob, question- how long has the current TP MB from TM been in range…yep, nearly three years!

  19. E

    Nov 13, 2013 at 6:50 pm

    Maybe they are gonna go with tour preferred on these because they want to save the tp badge for their new irons they will release in 2-3 weeks! Isn’t that about how often they release new clubs? Rediculous!!

    • JP

      Nov 13, 2013 at 10:00 pm

      Stick to your old clubs you hack. Seems to me it has been a few years since they launched a forged iron.

  20. Olivier

    Nov 13, 2013 at 12:22 pm

    This is more a publicity for keeping your old clubs (or even take the really old ones out of the garage).
    This is a copy of the old MP 14… Since Ping came out with the Ping Eye the manufacturers have been running in circles in regards with irons.

    • adolfo

      Nov 13, 2013 at 12:47 pm

      I agree with you on that. They look very very similar to the Mizuno line of irons. I mean that TM CB looks close to the MP 54s.

      • Allen Simkins

        Nov 13, 2013 at 9:49 pm

        Yeah, but not the forging of the MP-54. I’m very disappointed the MC is not a forged head like the previous MC. I’ve been laying the Rocketbladez Tour and hate them. I’m going back to my old MC’s.

        • MorikawaTMaG

          Nov 13, 2013 at 11:35 pm

          That is only partially correct. The 3-7 will be cast and the 8-P will be forged

        • Brady Wilson

          Good Choice Allen!

    • Oldplayer

      Nov 13, 2013 at 2:27 pm

      And the mp 14’s were copies of the Hogan Personals apparently. It is just a fact that good blade designs are bound to look similar unless you do something gimmicky.

  21. TP Fan

    Nov 13, 2013 at 12:06 pm

    If taylormade wants to make money, put the badge on. I would buy the MB if the badge is on instead of the words.

      Nov 13, 2013 at 4:49 pm

      Well that’s a reason to buy an iron!

      Oh, you mean they look just like every other blade since the dawn of time?! You can’t do much with blades…

      • WILSON

        Nov 13, 2013 at 1:09 pm

        apart from weight placement and material choice, which are extremely limited anyway… looks like every other blade out there

        Nov 13, 2013 at 4:19 pm

        Agreed – but this is weak effort to say the least….

        The MP4 is simple and beautiful, but when did TM do beautiful???

        Another pathetic effort from TM, but I am sure the TM diehards will convince themselves that they are worth spending hard earned $$$ on – THEY ARE NOT

      • Allen Simkins

        Nov 13, 2013 at 9:51 pm

        Exactly. A blade is a blade. You can add a badge or a name, but a blade is a blade.

        • Taylor

          Nov 16, 2013 at 10:07 pm

          Yes, a blade is a blade. So you make your selection on how it looks because they all perform the same.

      • Johnnie

        Nov 16, 2013 at 12:55 pm

        For the most part, you’re right. You can make a lightning bolt, like the Titleist 695MB, or you can put a cut muscle in, like the Mizuno MP 32. I’m not sure if those items really make the club better, but you can’t say these companies didn’t try. I’m not exactly sure why blades have two or three year run.

        Nov 13, 2013 at 4:26 pm

        This something I always wonder about. It is widely known that, with few exceptions, Mizuno and Miura (and anything Endo Forged for that matter) make the best forged irons. I am not sure why people get so excited for a new release from a company that doesn’t produce the best product. Why be so excited about a product that is arguably not the best…

        • Ken

          Nov 13, 2013 at 4:28 pm

          And to add a note – I have Mizuno irons and a Taylormade 3 wood. I am not saying TM is no good, I am just saying for forged irons it is hard to compete with Mizuno/Miura/Endo Forged

  24. chris

  25. Mike

    Nov 13, 2013 at 6:55 am

    Is it me or does the shape of the muscle back blade, especially near the toe look like a cheap version Mizuno MP-69? The more I look at the TM MB the better the Mizuno MP-69 looks.

      Remember, you’re talking about the company that made removable _faces_, for God’s sake. Talk about walking all over the idea of least-mediation-possible, when it comes to construction and materials on the way to the hands and body.

    Those are some of the most horrendous looking irons ever. Just horrible. The badgings are classless, as are the name graphics and the sheer sizes of the letterings! Ugh

  29. Mystik

    Nov 12, 2013 at 11:38 pm

    Yes. Keep the badge. Keep it simple. TM marketing team needs to listen to the consumers.

    I will keep my eye on the MC this year plus the 7 iron has a speed slot too 🙂 Can TM work on a better wedge design next year. When is it out. I am due for a new iron.

  30. Curt

    Nov 12, 2013 at 11:04 pm

    If the MB has the speed slot, I am concerned about the weight being taken out of the head to allow for the slot, which might effect swing weight, if not added back elsewhere.

    • MorikawaTMaG

    Seriously TMAG!?!?!?!? I want to not hate you soooo much, but the idea that there was talk about putting the badge on but then they got yanked is just completely beyond me. I would literally run to the store right now and just throw fist fulls of cash at the employees and buy one of each if they actually brought the TP back…

    They look good. The angles remind me of the Mizuno MP 58.

    Nov 12, 2013 at 6:22 pm

    Now the main question that needs to be honestly answered. Can we find out who is doing Taylormades forgings without some need to make it top secret and that some sets are done by Miura for Big name players and the rest are done in China for the masses.

  37. Dan

    I wonder if the MC’s will be forged or cast? If they are forged like the adams xtd line then these will probably go in the bag, if not then Apex Pro’s or XTD’s will be in the bag.

From the Forums: How are you liking TaylorMade’s Qi10 fairway woods?

Published

on

In our forums, our members have been discussing TaylorMade’s new Qi10 fairway woods. WRXer ‘ace036’ plans on testing them in the next few weeks, saying: “from how they look from address and frame the ball is much more appealing to my eye versus my current Paradym fairway woods.” And our members have been sharing their positive feedback in our forum.

Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.

  • Edwardsr: “I got fit into the Qi10 core model with Ventus TR Black 8X and it’s absolutely amazing for me.During the fitting with my 12-15 swings with it, it was the most efficient combo I’ve ever tested, tons of 1.48 smash and 3 or 4 1.49 smash (which I don’t think I’ve ever gotten on 3 wood on a launch monitor).”
  • MiloMalt: “No complaints and so far only high praise for my Qi10 Tour 3 and 5 wood. I’m getting great numbers and a nice penetrating ball flight with great height whereas with my old TSi2 4 wood it was spinny and ballooning and short because of that.”
  • courcy75: “The Qi10 Tour 3 wood I just put in play has been outstanding for me. Finally found something I like as much as the 07 burner tp.”

From the Forums: Should I play a 3-wood or 5-wood?

Published

on

In our forums, our members have been discussing 3-woods, 5-woods and bag setups. WRXer ‘Cole Fleming’ is currently unsure of his setup, and reached out to fellow members, saying:

“Thoughts on people playing 3 vs 5-wood? I have a high SS 118 with driver 280s + carry. I really never use my 3-wood now as my course doesn’t really have the need unless I move to the back tees. I usually carry it about 260+. I’m ultimately looking for something easier to hit and maybe start trying to use it off the tee some to keep me out of trouble.

I also play a 7-wood. Love it so don’t want them to be to0 close. Ive never even considered or looked at a 5-wood. I have a fitting today so I’m sure I could test them, but wanted somewhat of an idea going into it to tell the fitter so I’m not swinging so many clubs.”

And our members have been sharing their thoughts on the matter, as well as mentioning what has worked best for their game.

Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.

  • pu_golf88: “I’m dropping the 3 wood this year for a 5 wood. I hit my drivers a similar distance as you and find that my 3 wood isn’t a fairway finder, I really only use it if there’s a dogleg where a driver would go thru where I want to land the ball. I think a 5 wood goes far enough to use it as a fairway finder off the tee when I want more distance than hitting my 3 driving iron.”
  • T626G: “I myself have decided to try a 5-wood. Never really had much luck or need with a 3-wood. Should be easier to hit. I’m going to cut it down a 1/2″ just to help control it and swing easier.”
  • jedc: “Adjustable 5-wood turned down to 4-wood loft (and open looking face is nice). I had a fitting last month and really liked the PXG Black Ops 5-wood.”
