Taylormade Rocketbladez Irons Full Detailed Review

Taylormade Rocketbladez Irons, available in 3- to 7-iron, is driven by the Speed Pocket. The “little thing” that promotes dramatically enhanced speed and distance. To be honest, these irons are the perfect combination of the feel that professionals like Sergio Garcia need and the explosive distance that amateurs like myself desire.

The lie angle of the 6-iron was the first thing I wanted to notice, considering that the normal RocketBladez 6-iron I tried earlier this year as compared to a 5-iron at an astounding 26.5-degree. As a result, I was relieved to find a more realistic loft of 29.5 degrees this time around.

With its medium sole and large top edge of the club head, this player iron looks excellent at address, and simply glancing at the rear of the club encouraged me to place the clubhead behind the ball with confidence. I also appreciate how the Speed Pocket is in the center of the sole rather than the front. There is also a lot of weight in the rear to assist me to get the ball airborne.

Although I am dubious of the game enhancement Taylormade Rocketbladez Irons loud crack, this Tour version is much more appealing. A carefully designed built-in polyurethane produces a considerably softer sound as well as a very sharp, springy sensation upon contact. The KBS shaft combo also works nicely for my fast swing speed.

Performance Of Taylormade Rocketbladez Irons

In terms of performance, the Taylormade Rocketbladez Irons is at the top of the range, providing a considerably truer distance than the original version while still being significantly longer than my existing setup. With these long irons, I find it somewhat easier to strike a draw than a fade.

I also feel that the grooves’ milled face texture encourages consistent high spin and higher launch angle and that shots maintain their line effectively in the wind. The wide sweet spot certainly helps to reduce mis-hits, and when I did hit a bad one, the feedback gave me strong signals to improve on the next shot.

Testing with a low swing speed Of Taylormade Rocketbladez Irons

To begin, keep in mind that the RBZ Speed Pocket technology, evident in the hollow area of the sole filled with 3M polyurethane, is only available in half of the set, the longer irons (4, 5, 6, and 7).

The golf ball rocketed brilliantly on my initial strokes with the graphite-shafted RocketBladez. The ball seems to be launched quicker from the clubface. With my slow swing speed, the golf ball flies high and long in the air. It feels wonderful.

In general, all of the irons in the set are simple to move and play.

So, while comparing technological performance, I observed a strong impact with every club in the set, with just a very little variation in sound between the 7 and 8 irons. I also believe that the long irons, which are the most challenging for me, gave me a nice high trajectory and helped me go farther.

The wedges are fantastic, featuring a revised cavity for improved control and a terrific feel and flexibility.

I also liked the graphite shafts. I note that the shafts are polished in matt graphite from midway down, eliminating the unpleasant glare in my posture.

Testing with a high-speed swing Of Taylormade Rocketbladez Irons

Job Sugraes, a professional who was Champion of the Catalan Tour Ranking in 2002, and runner-up in the Doubles Spanish Championship in 2004, where he teamed with Agustn Domingo, in addition to being a golf instructor in Golf Montjuic, Barcelona (tel. 606 763 408), and being a caddy for pros like Agustn Domingo and Eduardo de la Cruz, has agreed to test the steel shaftedTaylormade Rocketbladez Irons. We discovered a RocketBallz fairway wood in his golf bag… So he understands what we are talking about.

“The ball trajectory is high,” Job says as he begins the round of hitting balls with various irons.

“I began with the 7 iron (steel shaft) and noticed that the ball has a lot of power. With a high and long golf ball, it definitely provides greater distance.”

Feel

“The touch is similar to that of cavity backs, and the sound is not as natural as we are used to hearing, but it still sounds like a cavity back.”

“In comparison to the irons that have Speed Pocket technology (4-7), and those that do not (8-PW), I see a distance advantage with the Speed Pocket, whereas with others the sense of touch is more akin to a blade.”

“They maintain a uniform trajectory, very straight, and their ability to move the ball is standard, so they are fantastic for the average player.”

“These are easy golf clubs for mid-to-low handicaps, though the irons with graphite shafts are also good for mid-to-high handicaps.”

“The three are very good,” adds Job of the RocketBladez wedges, which are labeled A (50o), S (55o), and L (60o). “While the sole of the AW is slightly arched, the sole of the SW and LW is noticeably wider yet flatter, with a leading-edge that greatly facilitates passing under the golf ball and through the sand if playing from a bunker. These are obviously intended for players with mid-to-low handicaps since they provide the “exquisite touch” that the most demanding players need.
