Great club, very forgiving and long. Easy to hit also, I like these better than the Rac OS model's.

hey folks, new to this site. have a few questions if anyone can advise me. i played frequently for 20 years and played a bit better than bogey golf for most of those. i separated from the game during residency and when i came back, i realized my clubs were a little "antiquated" (wilson 'radius sole's' given to me for my 16th birthday) as my cousin put it. i bought a set of unused taylormade RAC HT irons from him for $150 and found that they were very nice and gave me some elevation i sorely needed at the time. although there are plenty of newer clubs out there, i am, to say the least, content with these clubs (although the grips leave a lot to desire). my questions involve the wood selection for this set of irons. i have a taylormade "burner" 9.5 driver and recently purchased a burner 3W. i have never used any wood with more angle than a 5W, but have heard from many sources that i could do myself a favor by taking a few swings with some of (what seem to me but few others) the various 6, and 7 woods out there. i guess my issue is with the concept of opting out of my longer irons for similar fairway woods. i would appreciate any input regarding using such woods, or even various hybrids..again, im just trying to get back into the game i loved so much when i was younger, but the old body is begging me to try new, more modern club variations.
any advice is welcome..
thanks, and see you out there on the links.

I have had this set of clubs for nearly 7 years. They still play well, and I especially like the way the ball flys high and lands soft. The 8 is the most accurate club that I have ever used, and I would recommend this set. I have thought about upgrading, but it would take a lot to beat the play that I have gotten out of these clubs.

i just got these irons for christmas past and since then i have got cut 8 shots from 28

these were the first TaylorMade irons I ever purhased, and as long as they keep producing this quality, i wont be going back, the forgiveness is astounding and the trajectory of the ball allows you to attack the pin from further away. te club is extremly light, at 55 grams a club it allows you to swing freely and natrually resulting in and consistantly straight shot. i would recomend theese to any golfer whether they play off scrath or 28 handicapper, theese take plenty of shots of your game

I bought these about six months ago. They are a great set of clubs. Have not modified antything on them, so out of the bosx they work just fine. I can attack the pin more and the long irons are an ease to hit with. My old clubs were Mizuno's tp Muscle back. big difference in club control. Recommended to a few of my golf partners and their game also has improved. They were 499 at Golf Galaxy, checked online and it was 299, printed the ad out went back and paid 299 for it what a deal.

I played my HT's for two years. I enjoy them very much. The ball goes high and lands soft. There is a slight push to the right on the mid and long irons. Never sure if that is me or the clubs. First tip is to get them re-gripped. I read on the review boards that Taylor made grips were useless when wet. I had Lamkin oversize installed. Best move I made. You will not regret these clubs - as long as you get good grips.

I bought these clubs 2 months back for about $270 from Golfsmith. I had some trouble initially because I was trying to swing too hard. After i got used to it I am getting about 10 yards more from my shorter irons and about 20 yards more with the long irons. The best thing is the control and I am able to go for the pin now. I am stil having some trouble with 3 & 4 irons but hopefully with some practice I will be able to use them as well as I can use the others.

Wow, these irons are just superb and are quite simply the easiest clubs I have hit since taking up the game 20 years ago. Having recently purchased them via Online golf at a snip price of £199.00, they are without doubt the most forgiving clubs I have hit. Because I am able to hit my irons into the greens with more height I now find myself playing more consistently and two days ago I posted my first every sub 74 round. In my opinion, these clubs are made for any +5 handicap golfer. Also for all those people who cant seem to hit the ball in the sweet spot, these clubs would be for you because the sweet spot is almost as big as the entire club. Buy these clubs and you will see an improvement in your game!!! The clubs are really easy to play with. All you have to do is swing the club through the ball and the club does the work, its almost effortless. They also hit the ball very far, before these i played with callaway X14's but these clubs add 10s of yards on to my shots. I play off 9 but im sure my handicap is going to lower thanks to these clubs. Lastly, any self respecting golfer will argue that looks matter - theres no point owning clubs that you think look disgusting and you wont be dissapointed with these.
After buying these clubs I realized why TaylorMade makes the Best Irons, Drivers, and Fairway Woods on the PGA tour, my only disappointment is that I have just wasted 4 years persevering with my Callaways that in a nutshell arent in the same class as these babies.

I was looking to upgrade my irons because the ones I'm using are at least 15 years old. An acquaintance had a set of these for sale and I was able to try them out for a few rounds. The postives are that they are nice to hit out of bad lies and the rough, and the 8-SW are easy to control. But I have a tendancy to slice and the longer irons just added to the problem. Also, the distances were eractic, probably due to the very low sweet spot. For instance, I flew the green and went out of bounds because I middled the shot and then came up way short with the same club. Hard to have a good game when you can't hit your irons consistently.
