TaylorMade TP Irons 2014 CB Hero

You might not expect it, but these have already made it into the bags of PGA Tour players and weekend hackers alike. Let’s see if they should earn a spot in your bag. Design and Technology In terms of technology, the Tour Preferred CBs are more of a refinement than a reinvention. The SpeedPocket, introduced last year and filled with a 3M polymer, is back with a few twists. Still present only in the 3- through 7-irons, it has been expanded, with thicker pockets towards the heel and toe.

TaylorMade says that the SpeedPocket now includes “micro-slots,” which increase ball speed and raise the launch angle. This has allowed them to bring down the lofts one degree throughout the set without losing any height, which should increase distance.

TaylorMade TP Irons 2014 CB Address

When you increase the size of the SpeedPocket, as TM has done here, you’re presented the challenge of doing something with that removed weight. Polymer is, after all, lighter than steel. TaylorMade has widened the sole a bit to make up for that loss of CoG-lowering steel. That’s great for launch, not so much for playability.

The main design conceit of these irons is that they’re a balancing act: on one hand, they have the “Tour Preferred” branding, they come with KBS Tour shafts, they have a somewhat traditional look, they have a satin chrome finish (which TM says is preferred by better players), and a few professionals have put them in play ( Justin Rose , Trevor Immelman , Camilo Villegas ); on the other hand, the toplines and soles are thicker, there’s a decent amount of offset, the lofts are low, and the irons are built to launch the ball way up in the air. That’s only a breakthrough if they’ve struck the right balance.

Esthetics I noted in my review of the RocketBladez Tour irons that they were very grey-heavy, which is a design choice that TaylorMade has continued with the Tour Preferred line. I don’t mind that; they certainly look classy. The über-chrome finish is evocative of Mizuno’s MP line, which is not a bad target to aspire to.

TaylorMade TP Irons 2014 CB Sole

The cavity is styled very similarly to the RocketBladez, with the “TaylorMade” script on the muscle and a plastic sticker in the cavity. The words “Tour Preferred” are written in white and red, with “CB” in white closer to the heel.

The undercut cavity extends to the hosel of the club, where a small cutout has been made, presumably to remove weight from the heel of the club. The RocketBladez Tour irons had a similar hosel cutout, but it’s grown to Ping-sized proportions .

Keeping with the “Tour Preferred” design style, the toe of the club is more angular than, say, the TaylorMade SpeedBlade irons. That’s a nice touch that, along with the polished chrome, helps to give the club a relatively classic look from the back.

Moving to the soles, the polyurethane slot has been filled in a bit more, and is now flush with the surrounding steel. I never had any problem with dirt caking in the slots of the RocketBladez Tour irons, and can’t imagine there would be any with these. The soles are otherwise interrupted only by the club number.

TaylorMade TP Irons 2014 CB 7Iron Face

The address position reveals that the Tour Preferred CB irons, while they do share superficial designs and the same metal forming process, are somewhat more of a game-improvement set of irons than the RocketBladez Tours. The toplines are noticeably thicker, and the entire head looks ever-so-slightly larger. The TP CBs have a bit more offset, and the soles and muscle portion of the back of the club are both thicker on the Tour Preferreds, so with some of the long irons you can see them at address. That’s not a huge deal, but if you’re someone like me who generally plays smaller irons, it can be slightly unnerving.

One last thing I noticed is that the face, which had a swirl-milled pattern on the RocketBladez Tour irons, has returned to a simple sandblasted finish. Not a huge deal, I suppose, though golfers who use their pitching wedge around the green might see a small bit less spin.

Though the thicker sole isn’t my favorite feature of the club, it really helps out of longer grass. Clubheads this thick have enough weight that moving through the thicker grass presented no problem.

Performance Through some sort of engineering wizardry, I was quite surprised by how high the RocketBladez Tour irons launched last year, and I’m similarly surprised here. I was a bit worried that the stronger lofts would lower my launch, but in practice (and in a few cuts I got to take on a launch monitor) they took off at about the same angle, and reached about the same maximum height.

TaylorMade TP Irons 2014 CB 7Iron Hero

That also led to about the same length. I hit them approximately the same distance as the RocketBladez Tour.

Last year I remarked at how the RocketBladez irons that had the SpeedPocket almost felt like I was double hitting the ball (imagine: hit-hit, hit-hit, hit-hit), but I didn’t get that with the Tour Preferred CBs. Maybe the polymer is denser, maybe slot is cut differently or a bit farther from the face, I don’t know. But it felt like any other iron.

I’m not particularly happy or upset about that because the longer irons, the ones with the SpeedPocket, are still among the softest irons that I’ve ever hit. Especially soft for cast irons made of a steel that’s among the firmer steels used in clubmaking. I was somewhat disappointed with the short irons – the ones without the polymer. They felt a bit dull. Not harsh, but not a great feeling. They felt like game improvement irons, basically.

TaylorMade TP Irons 2014 CB Toe

What did impress me, however, was the feel on mishits. They increased the size of the SpeedPocket towards the heel and toe of the club, and that added polymer really did help. I could still feel when a shot was off-center based on the twisting of the club in my hands, but I certainly wasn’t met with the hand-stinging sensation that most irons give you. Unfortunately, that wasn’t the case with the SpeedPocket-less short irons, which did feel a bit harsh. I wouldn’t worry so much about that though: how often are you badly missing the center of the face with your pitching wedge?

And if you are, the performance of these irons on mishits is great. Both ball speed and launch angle (in the x- and y-directions) were shockingly close to shots on the center of the face.

I liked the sound of the Tour Preferred CB irons. A bit muted, but enough of a metallic “pop” that I was satisfied.

Specifications The Tour Preferred CB irons come in an assortment of configurations, including 3-PW (which retails for $899.99), 4-AW ($899.99), 4-PW ($789.99), 5-PW ($674.99), 5-AW ($789.99), and 6-PW ($564.99). This allows for plenty of mixing and matching, and is a good effort to adapt to the hybrids and wedges already in your bag. TaylorMade also offers individual irons for $112.99, so if you change your mind later, don’t sweat it.

The individual irons also let you create a combo set using the three Tour Preferred styles of irons, similar to what Justin Rose has had in his bag this year (the CB 3-iron is hiding behind the 4-iron).

It’s an imperfect system, however, which is a disappointing result of the constant strengthening of lofts. I carry 60- and 54-degree wedges, so the 46-degree PW included is beginning to stretch the limits of my loft gapping. I had a similar problem at the long end. I carry a 17-degree hybrid, and the included 21-degree 4-iron leaves just enough space between those two that I’m not exactly sure what to do.

I’m used to carrying a set of better-player irons though, so golfers used to stronger lofts like this might not have much of a problem.

TaylorMade RocketBladez

KBS calls their Tour shafts their most versatile shafts, and for good reason. All of the Tour Preferred irons (MB, MC, and CB) come stock with KBS Tour shafts. They fit my game well, and most golfers of average strength shouldn’t have much of a problem with their modest weight.

They come with a very basic Tour Velvet grip, with the logo on the underside. I’d replace them right away.

Conclusions The first thing I noticed about these irons is that they feel and swing like a game improvement iron, even more so than they look. The toplines are thick, as are the soles, and the clubs have that top-heavy feel that most game improvement irons have. No one’s confusing the CBs for blades, but it goes a bit beyond that.

These clubs have to play the balancing game between game improvement and low-handicap irons. Both groups of golfers have to find them appealing to look at and both groups have to find them enjoyable to swing.

And to that effect, TaylorMade has pulled that off pretty well. The clubs are a little clunky, but all in all they’ve managed to keep much of that clunkiness out of the way. And though I’m not thrilled with the lofts, these irons really rocket the ball. They’re soft, they sound great, and they are oh so shiny.

2 thoughts on “TaylorMade Tour Preferred CB Irons Review”

Absolutely the best irons I’ve ever owned. I’ve had the AP2 and Nike Pro Tour Combos…top to bottom, I’m getting great results from these sticks. I have never gravitated to TaylorMade, so these irons were a very pleasant surprise. I love the distance, control and feel. And completing the set with The JetSpeed driver, 4 hybrid, and the TaylorMade Tour Preferred wedges, I couldn’t be happier.

These irons are high performance for me. I’m typically a high ball hitter however with clubs I can hit it low or high. I played the titleist ap2, no disrespect to titleist or forged club owners. I love the feel and solid performance of these irons. I traded my titleist ap2 as soon as I hit one shot with these irons!! All the way with taylormade tp CB irons. KBS shafts worked wonders for my game period!!

Bespoke blades to a gas station putter: See top 10 gear stories of 2024 FedExCup Season

13 Min Read

Change Text Size

GolfWRX.com

Scottie Scheffler put his official stamp on the 2024 FedExCup last week, logging another victory to cap off a dominant 2024 and become a FedExCup Champion for the first time. It seemed that once Scheffler made a putter switch at Bay Hill ahead of the Arnold Palmer Invitational presented by Mastercard, it was smooth sailing from there, with the world No. 1 winning seven times on the PGA TOUR as well as a gold medal at the Paris Olympics – but more on Scheffler’s dominant set of golf clubs later.

Scheffler's putter switch was just part of a year that was packed with gear news, from club releases, new prototypes, interesting equipment switches, and a few new emerging trends, too.

Below, GolfWRX.com takes you through the top 10 gear stories of the year. Without further ado, here they are (in no particular order):

1. Rory McIlroy and Collin Morikawa put TaylorMade’s Proto irons on the map

At the 2024 Valero Texas Open, Rory McIlroy unveiled a brand new, unreleased TaylorMade “Proto” 4-iron. According to McIlroy, the iron was helping him achieve a higher launch with a responsive, blade-like feel. Shortly after McIlroy’s switch, Collin Morikawa also switched into a “Proto” 4-iron at the RBC Heritage, citing a higher launch and predictable distance control.

The wave didn’t end there, though.

Michael Block, the club pro who was the Cinderella story of last year's PGA Championship, also switched into a full set of the TaylorMade Proto irons at this year's PGA, replacing the TaylorMade Tour Preferred MC irons that he’d been using for over a decade.

Eventually, TaylorMade decided to turn the “Proto” iron design into a retail set of P7CB irons. Morikawa ended up switching into a full set of the P7CB irons for the 2024 Genesis Scottish Open and The Open Championship. Long-hitting Chris Gotterup switched into a full set of the P7CB irons at the 2024 3M Open, too.

"For me, it's just a little bit more forgiveness," Morikawa said about the iron switch. "I don't hit it that high and I don't hit it that far compared to a lot of guys out here. So having a little bit more height off the trajectory ... gives me a little bit more of a playing field."

The TaylorMade Proto/P7CB irons made for a seemingly ever-evolving story throughout the summer of 2024, certainly deserving of a spot on our Top-10 list.

2. Shane Lowry’s putter change

Throughout his career, Shane Lowry has mostly opted for some variation of Odyssey’s famous 2-ball design. For example, Lowry has used models including Odyssey’s Stroke Lab Exo 2-ball, a White Hot Pro 2-ball blade, and a White Hot OG 2-ball.

At the 2024 Zurich Classic in New Orleans, however, Lowry switched into a TaylorMade Spider Tour Z mallet putter for the first time. It was similar to the putter his partner for that week, Rory McIlroy, has used for years.

As it turns out, the switch worked, and the pair went on to win the event. Lowry spoke on the switch following the winning performance:

“I’ve been struggling on the greens, and I just needed something with a fresh look,” Lowry told GolfWRX.com. “It has a different neck on it, as well, so it moves a bit differently, but it’s similar; it has a white line on the back of it and it’s a mallet style. So it’s not too drastic of a change.

“I just picked it up on the putting green and I liked the look of it, so I was like, ‘Let’s give it a go.’”

3. Matt Fitzpatrick switches irons after a decade

For most of his career, Matt Fitzpatrick has used Ping S55 irons, which were released to the public back in 2013. With so much success using the irons, it wasn’t a certainty that he’d ever switch out of the classic designs.

After testing Ping’s Blueprint S irons in late 2023, however, Fitzpatrick decided to make an iron switch for 2024. Although Fitzpatrick started off by switching into the Blueprint S irons early in the year, he eventually switched into Titleist T100 irons with a custom “Fitz” grind at the 2024 U.S. Open.

We weren’t expecting an iron switch from Fitzpatrick this year at all, which is exactly why he cracked our top 10 list.

4. JT’s gas station putter

Justin Thomas has switched putters numerous times throughout the past couple years, so Thomas switching putters isn’t necessarily huge news. This story, however, was particularly interesting given the circumstances.

Paul Vizanko – the Director of Scotty Cameron Putter Fitting and Player Development – recommended that Thomas try out a custom putter that was designed for Gordon Sargent, the world's second-ranked amateur and the first player to earn a PGA TOUR card via PGA TOUR U Accelerated. The putter had custom alignment lines on the crown, including a parallel line and a single dot.

On a time crunch before heading to Ohio for the Memorial Tournament presented by Workday, Thomas texted Sargent about the putter, and they ended up meeting at a local gas station in Alabama to make the hand-off. Thomas eventually had a new prototype putter built that was inspired by the design of Sargeant’s putter, but the gas station putter understandably became a popular story in its own, unique way.

"I was using a putter I had and I was texting with Paul Vizanko at Scotty Cameron and telling him some things that I liked and disliked," Thomas said. "He mentioned the putter that Gordon (Sargent) had, and I was texting Gordon about it. And then next thing you know, Gordon was like, Oh, I don't need it. I'm not using it, and I'll be driving past you here soon.

"So yeah, it felt a little shady, but that was probably the only Scotty Cameron putter exchange in a gas station outside Nashville."

5. Popularity of mini drivers

Although the concept of “mini drivers,” or 2-woods, has been around for a long time in the golf world, the modern designs are seeing more action on the PGA TOUR than ever before.

In case you’re new to this product sector, a “mini driver” is built as an in-between option; it’s smaller than a driver, but bigger than a 3-wood. The mini driver is meant to be higher spinning and more workable than a driver, but easier to hit than a 3-wood given the overall volume of the head and size of the face.

Jake Knapp won the 2024 Mexico Open at Vidante with a TaylorMade BRNR Mini Driver in the bag, but he wasn’t the lone member of the mini driver contingent in 2024. Other players who also used a mini driver throughout 2024 include Max Homa (TaylorMade BRNR Mini), Tommy Fleetwood (TaylorMade BRNR Mini), Adam Scott (TaylorMade BRNR Mini), Chris Gotterup (TaylorMade BRNR Mini), Cameron Young (Titleist TSR 2-wood), Webb Simpson (Titleist TSR 2-wood) and Akshay Bhatia (Callaway Paradym Ai Smoke Ti340 Mini Driver), among others.

Bhatia's switch came on the biggest stage at the TOUR Championship.

“If I have restricted start lines, I can draw a driver, but if I have this mini driver to where I can turn it a lot easier, then it’s a nice option," Bhatia said before the first round at East Lake. "The mini driver gives me more options; it's faster, but it spins a little more, so the consistency of the ball flight is tighter, and that’s what I need.”

6. Long putters continue to surge

The anchoring ban was implemented on Jan. 1, 2016, but since then, players have figured out how to use a broomstick-style putter effectively while hovering it away from their chest. Bernhard Langer and Adam Scott have been some of the leaders in this movement.

"I think I was probably a notable young player to use a long putter, and that may have broken the mold of it being an old man's club, although I'm quickly fitting into that category now," Scott said jokingly at this year's TOUR Championship. "But seeing more guys go to it doesn't surprise me. And I think, you know, everyone seems to be getting fairly good results who do go to. So I wouldn't see why more don't give it a try."

In 2023, several big name players including Will Zalatoris, Bhatia, and Byeong Hun An switched into broomstick-style putters, and they each continued using that style this year.

In 2024, the broomstick brigade gained another, surprising member. At the 2024 Wells Fargo Championship, Simpson debuted an Odyssey Ai-One “Cruiser” Jailbird broomstick putter, inspired by Bhatia.

“My caddie, David Cook, caddied for (Bhatia) at the (Texas Children’s Houston Open) and he putter beautifully,” Simpson told GolfWRX.com. “Then, I watched (Bhatia) on TV at the Valero, and he putted beautifully. And I’m like, ‘I’m just going to try it.’ I’ve never tried it for more than a putt or two, and I just ordered what Akshay uses. It was pretty awkward at first, but the more I used it, the more I’m like, ‘Man, this is pretty easy.’"

7. Wesley Bryan uses two 4 irons

Most golfers use just one 4-iron in their bag, but most golfers aren’t Wesley Bryan.

Bryan, a PGA TOUR winnerand YouTube golfing sensation, came to THE CJ CUP Byron Nelson with a mixed set of irons, including two different 4-irons; a Titleist T200, and a Takomo 101 U.

As Bryan explained to GolfWRX.com, his Takomo 301 CB 6-iron goes about 195-200 yards while his hollow-bodied Takomo 101U Driving Iron goes about 220 yards, and his Titleist T200 4-iron goes about 235 yards. The Takomo 101U 4-iron is bent about 2 degrees, so it effectively plays like his 5-iron, but it remains stamped as a 4-iron.

For Bryan, it’s all about filling the right yardage gaps, not about the number stamped on the bottom of the club. There are no rules when it comes to equipment; each club is simply a tool.

8. Adam Scott keeps everyone on their toes

Adam Scott is an equipment free agent, so he’s free to test and use whatever brands of clubs that he desires. And he takes full advantage of that freedom.

Scott has popped up on our weekly Equipment Report more than any other PGA TOUR player in 2024, simply due to how many times he made major changes. In 2024 alone, Scott has used irons from Ping, Miura and Srixon, and he’s used drivers from TaylorMade, Titleist and Callaway.

He's been especially difficult to keep up with on a week-to-week basis, because sometimes Scott switches irons based purely on turf conditions. For example, at the 2024 FedEx St. Jude Championship, Scott switched into Miura AS-1 blade irons in Scotland to help handle the firm turf conditions, and he switched into KM-700 irons with more bounce because of the Zoysia grass in Memphis.

"Equipment and technology is a big thing," Scott said at the first leg of this year's FedExCup Playoffs in Memphis. "You see it every week, guys working on Trackman, and that's not really where I've grown up. Yeah, if I was critical of myself, although intentions being right, I probably didn't manage that as well as I could have, and certainly see the need to be more on top of that going forward.”

It hasn’t always been easy covering Scott’s equipment, but it’s always been entertaining.

9. Scottie Scheffler’s dominating setup

Scheffler made two key changes in 2024 that propelled him to his seven-win season: 1) He switched into TaylorMade’s new Qi10 core driver (8 degrees), and he switched into a TaylorMade Spider Tour X mallet with an L-neck hosel.

After a 2023 season that saw a number of putter changes from Scheffler, he switched into the TaylorMade Spider Tour X putter at the 2024 Arnold Palmer Invitational, won the first week using the putter, and it hasn’t come out of the bag since.

Ahead of the 2024 TOUR Championship, Scheffler spoke on the putter, and why it’s worked so well for him in 2024.

“I felt like I did way too much experimenting with putters in the last year leading up to the switch to the Spider,” Scheffler said. “And it’s something where before I started working with Phil (Kenyon), I felt like I would bounce back a lot between ideas on how I wanted to putt. I felt like I didn’t stick to something and really kind of ride the highs and lows of it. And I think that’s really how you get better in this game, is sticking to your process.

"When it came to the Spider, I always loved the way it set up. And I had tried putters like that in the past and never really putted great. But I didn’t really give it the full go. I can have one bad day and be like, ‘That didn’t work.’ And so the thing I liked most about it was how good I lined it up. I don’t often use a line on the ball, and so I feel like I’m much more athletic with my putting. I get much more into the feel and the visual and that’s what I’m good at on my full swing. And so it seems to make logical sense that I should probably do that with my putting, as well. But for some reason, for, you know, the last year, a lot of the year I was thinking very technically and trying to be perfect on the greens and it didn’t really go that well. And so when I switched to the Spider, I was able to free things up and see some good consistent results from it.”

Scheffler was able to awaken his inner athlete on the greens using the new Spider putter, which has worked to the tune of seven PGA TOUR wins in one season. Yeah, we’re thinking the putter switch worked.

10. Titleist’s GT drivers start hot

Titleist’s new GT2, GT3 and GT4 line of drivers debuted this year. (GolfWRX)

Titleist’s new GT2, GT3 and GT4 drivers first launched at the Memorial Tournament presented by Workday in June, and by the Genesis Scottish Open in July, more than 115 players had used a Titleist GT driver in competition.

That’s quite an impressive feat for a mid-year driver launch.

Zalatoris, who was one of 13 players to switch into a GT driver the first week they were available at the Memorial, spoke on his experience with the new GT2 driver:

“I think this is the most that we’ve been begging (Titleist) to put (a driver) in our hands as fast as they can. We first tested it I think in early December. I think the part that’s really cool about it is it’s just kind of plug-and-play. I have the exact same shaft, the exact same setting. And immediately I’m picking up 1.5 mph ball speed, and that equates to about another 6.5-7 yards of carry. I think the thing that I really noticed when you compare it from my old one, from the TSR to the GT, I think the mishits just get brought in that much more; 4-5 yards out here on Tour in dispersion could be the difference of you being in the fairway and having another birdie look … you miss a fairway and now you’re laying up trying to make par the hard way.”

The list of notables using a Titleist GT driver include Max Homa (GT3), Tom Kim (GT3), Cameron Young (GT2), Justin Thomas (GT2), Byeong Hun An (GT4), Billy Horschel (GT3), Webb Simpson (GT3), Brandt Snedeker (GT2), Denny McCarthy (GT2), Garrick Higgo (GT4), J.T. Poston (GT3), Patrick Cantlay (GT2) and Adam Scott (GT2).

taylormade 2011 tour preferred cb 4 iron

The exclusive, 6-step forging process employed produces a more precisely shaped and finished head that looks and performs like a work of art. A thin topline, thin sole, straight leading edge, minimal offset and tapered hosel work in conjunction to promote the kind of pure face-to-ball connection sought after by skilled players.

In addition, the TaylorMade Tour Preferred MB Forged irons incorporate TaylorMade's innovative new precision-weighting port in the back of the clubhead to solve an age-old problem. In the past, clubmakers have installed cartridges of varying weight in the hosel to assure that each iron in the set is of uniform swingweight. Doing so, however, affects the location of the CG in terms of its position between the toe and heel. The TaylorMade Tour Preferred MB Forged irons precision-weighting port guarantees precise swingweights while ensuring optimal and consistent CG location in every clubhead.

"The precision-weighting port proves that it is, in fact, possible to innovate and improve the performance of a true, forged blade." said Brian Bazzel, manager of iron and wedge creation.

The TaylorMade Tour Preferred MB Forged irons also incorporate an advanced, USGA-conforming groove design to promote more spin and control from the rough, a crucial advancement in making it the ultimate player's performance iron. The standard shaft and grip properties were chosen with input from TaylorMade Tour Staff professionals, and include True Temper Dynamic Gold shaft, the most widely played on tour, and Tour Velvet grips, a combination deemed optimal for promoting consistent and responsive performance.

  5. My Review for the 2011 TaylorMade Tour Preferred

    Background: My current set of irons are TM CB TP 3&4 irons and MB TP 5-PW with KBS 6.5 soft-stepped once. Swing speed with 6 iron is 96 mph per the Mizuno shaft optimizer. These 2011 irons are not soft stepped. My handicap hovered between scratch and 3 throughout last season.

  6. TaylorMade Tour Preferred CB Review

    Iron play today was almost effortless, allowing me to focus on the shot I wanted to hit instead of just putting a good swing on the ball. 100% thrilled with the TaylorMade Tour Preferred CBs!

  14. Taylormade Tour Preferred CB..... the perfect iron?!

    The TP-90 was co-developed by Fujikura and TaylorMade specifically for the Tour Preferred CB irons. This shaft adds distance but is very stable graphite shaft. A very attractive shaft as well. The TP-90 graphite seems to be a bit of a sleeper on this forum, but it is still available as a custom shaft option for most models of the TM irons.
