" If it ain't broke, don't fix it" That should be the slogan for the Raylor! About time that they reintroduced the legend, as the Original is sure to be as collectible as they come, in the not too distant future!

I found a 16* and 19* Raylor Retro in a used club barrel at an out of the way golf shop in Lexington KY a few months ago. Both have Aldila HM40 shafts and were in very good condition. I hit several shots off the mat in the shop and while they both felt great I had concerns that they wouldn't have the same feel on the course. After about 20 rounds I'll put these up against anything out there. Both clubs are easy to work and have heads that are a bit smaller than what's on the market today, but larger than the original Raylor clubs made some twenty years ago. The faces are hot enough to provide plenty of distance and the sole rails pull the center of gravity down far enough to get the ball up easily. Great clubs in my opinion.

I have been playing this club for a while now, I must say it is fantastic. The face really seems to be hot and the ball flight is great. Even with the small head, I hit it perfectly. I use the steel shaft in it and it is a great combination. I would easily say it is as good or better than my 980f. Would love to find some others to try out. Dont get this club if you dont have a good consistent swing, it is for the better golfer.

Model Reviewed: taylor made retro raylor 16 degree

I play the 16 raylor as a replacement for a 3 wood. Its probably a little shorter than most 3 woods but it is easier to get in the air off the fairway and is far more versatile from the rough or uneven lies due to the rails and the small club head size. With other 3 woods I was getting too much distance and the gap between it and my driver was not enough to make it a good safe lay up club. The 16 degree raylor fits in nicely. Compared to today's 3 woods the raylor is distinguished by its small size and relatively deep face profile. This is basically an old school 3 wood with rails, a hotter club face and updated technology. I've had it in the bag for 3 years and have no plans to replace it. A great choice for better players but I wouldn't recommend it if you have trouble making good consistent contact with a 3 wood as the club head is quite small compared to most contemporary designs.

This club is absolutely amazing.I picked it up at second swing for $17 (steel shaft). I have no problem hitting this club from anywhere. I have even hit it around 260! This club can do nothing but go right down the middle for me. I will never get rid of it.

I purchased the Taylor Made Raylor 19 degree golf club at Goof Town about two years ago and at first it was very hard to hit. However, being the nice guy I am I gave it more of a chance and soon enough it became the best golf club in my bag. In my opinion there is no other fairway club on the market that can compete with this club. Even though the club head is small, it still packs a punch. I hit this club 10-20 yards longer than any other fairway wood I have tested. I recommend this club to anyone with good swing fundamentals. If you don't have the previous, DO NOT PURCHASE THIS CLUB AS YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO HIT IT!!!

Let me start by saying that I consider myself a very good golfer. I shoot under par a regular basis. However, I have never been able to play a fairway wood. That was until I purchased this Taylor Made Retro Raylor. This is the one and only fairway wood I have ever used and have been happy with. The face seems hotter than any other fairway wood on the market. Including the new X series by Callaway. This club has been part of my bag for almost five years now and it will remain there for many years to come.

I really like the 19 degree model i have the 13 degree spoon as well but i am not a hundred percent sure that it the right club for me but they come with a nice heavy graphite shaft that has a good feel, i am going to test the spoon out more to see if it is as good as the raylor.
