"Uniting a forged face with a cast cavity allows us to deliver the best of both worlds: the soft feel of a forging with the stability and forgiveness of a deep undercut cavity." said Wahl.

The Tour Preferred CB Forged iron set boasts the highest MOI of the three new irons. That, combined with its Inverted Cone Technology (the only iron of the three with ICT), which promotes faster ball speed on off-center hits, helps make the TPCB extremely forgiving for consistent distance from shot to shot The Tour Preferred CB Forged iron also features a precision-weighting port that guarantees consistent swingweight throughout the set while ensuring optimal CG location in every clubhead to promote optimal ball flight every iron. Additionally, the Tour Preferred CB Forged irons features the same new, advanced groove design to promote more spin and control from the rough.

The Tour Preferred CB Forged iron set is the only model of the three being offered in both steel and graphite shafts. The steel is a new, 110-gram, mid-flight True Temper Dynamic Golf XP, which is lighter and promotes higher flight compared to the standard Dynamic Gold steel shaft. The graphite shaft options, developed by Fujikura, are offered in 90-gram stiff flex and 80-gram regular flex. Tour Velvet grips are also standard.

TaylorMade Tour Preferred CB Irons Review

TaylorMade’s flagship amateur irons have been updated for 2014, and we take them for a spin.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!!

The golf club market can be a confusing place for consumers, no matter their skill level. The latest and greatest products that are designed by modern manufacturers are usually the best performing options when properly fit to your swing. The only problem is, new clubs are also typically the most expensive options.

In a sport that’s already quite expensive, is making the investment on new clubs always worth the high price tags?

Here at GolfWRX.com, we believe that whether you’re buying expensive new equipment or more affordable used options, you should get a proper club fitting from an expert fitter. Factors such as club length, loft, lie angle, overall design, weight settings, shaft flex, shaft weight and even grip size can all make a drastic impact on how the club feels and performs to the individual golfer. It’s not easy trying to figure out all of that by yourself, so working with an expert is imperative.

Now, when it comes to deciding on buying old versus new clubs, the conversation becomes a little more personalized to your specific budget and performance needs.

When you look at the clubs that are being used on the PGA Tour , most professional golfers opt to use the newest equipment possible, or they have clubs that are customized and prototyped to their exact liking.

That’s not always the case, however. Sometimes, PGA Tour players use golf clubs that were released several years ago, and they are still available on the current market for a more affordable price. Although the clubs are older designs, some Tour players still find benefits because the designs have managed to withstand the test of time.

I call these clubs the “Modern Classics.”

The benefit for consumers when it comes to these Modern Classics is that they’re currently available on the market for a fraction of the cost of new equipment, but they’re still viable options to use – even on the PGA Tour.

For our new 8-part club testing series in partnership with 2nd Swing Golf, I chose 8 classic golf clubs that are still used on the professional level, and each club can still be found online at 2nd Swing Golf’s website , or at 2nd Swing Golf retail outlets . Although these used clubs can be found at other third-party retail sites, as well, we chose to conduct this testing at 2nd Swing because, in my personal opinion, they have one of the largest selections of used equipment on the market, and they certify the quality of each club that they sell.

Also, the 2nd Swing store in Scottsdale has over 15 fitting bays that are equipped with launch monitors, and they have a team of expert club fitters to help analyze the numbers.

The first club that I chose to test in this 8-part video series was a TaylorMade Tour Preferred MC 4-iron that was first released to the public in 2011. As we’ve discussed at length at GolfWRX.com, PGA Tour player Daniel Berger still uses a set of TaylorMade TP MC 2011 irons.

For this specific test, I pitted a used TaylorMade TP MC 2011 4-iron (22 degrees) against my current gamer 4-iron (24 degrees) from my set of golf clubs; each club was shafted with an extra stiff steel shaft. I hit 5 shots with each club, using a high-end tour golf ball. We deleted any outliers, and then we analyzed the numbers with the help of 2nd Swing expert fitter Cliff Walzak, who’s a well-respected and longtime club fitter in the industry.

In the video at the top of the page, we break down the entire test, the launch monitor numbers, and then I assign a value rating to the club. Just a heads up, not every club tested in the series will score such a high rating, but we happened to start off with an especially top-tier Modern Classic.

If you’re interested in testing/purchasing the TaylorMade TP MC 2011 irons for yourself, they’re currently available on 2nd Swing’s website for $84.99 for an individual iron , or $339.99 for an entire set .

What other 7 clubs do you think I chose for this Modern Classics video series?

Good video, but what is nine-point-four?

Jan 17, 2023 at 2:16 pm

Original Callaway Apex Pro irons should be on this list in my opinion. They’ve certainly withstood the test of time with some pros still gaming the longer irons from that 2013/14 release.

Am I missing the comparison data? All I see is numbers for the 2011 TM TP MCs. What are we comparing this too?

Jan 17, 2023 at 12:54 am

Forgive me for being blunt, but unless you are testing clubs with matching specifications (SW, grip make and size, shaft make and flex, loft, etc.), nothing of value will be learnt here.

This type of test is best suited for mainstream golf publications catering to the uneducated. The GolfWRX readership is not well served by this.

Testing the Taylormade R1 vs. Stealth 2 would be great as well. The others I would love to see are player distance product, since there is the “tec” involved. Something like P790 vs. Mizuno H5?

Although we spotted Rory McIlroy testing the new TaylorMade BRNR Mini Driver Copper last week during practice rounds at the Masters, he ultimately didn’t decide to use the club in competition.

It seems that will change this week at the 2024 RBC Heritage, played at the short-and-tight Harbour Town Golf Links in Hilton Head.

When asked on Wednesday following his morning Pro-Am if he’d be using the new, nostalgic BRNR Copper this week, McIlroy said, “I think so.”

“I like it,” McIlroy told GolfWRX.com on Tuesday regarding the BRNR. “This would be a good week for it.”

  View this post on Instagram   A post shared by GolfWRX (@golfwrx)

According to Adrian Rietveld, the Senior Manager of Tour at TaylorMade, the BRNR Mini Driver can help McIlroy position himself properly off the tee at the tight layout.

Here’s what Rietveld told GolfWRX.com on Wednesday:

“For someone like Rory, who’s that long at the top end of the bag, and then you put him on a course like Harbour Town, it’s tough off the tee. It’s tight into the greens, and you have to put yourself in position off the tee to have a shot into the green. It kind of reminds me of Valderrama in Spain, where you can be in the fairway and have no shot into the green.

“I’m caddying for Tommy [Fleetwood] this week, so I was walking the course last night and looking at a few things. There’s just such a small margin for error. You can be standing in the fairway at 300 yards and have a shot, but at 320 you don’t. So if you don’t hit a perfect shot, you could be stuck behind a tree. And then if you’re back at 280, it might be a really tough shot into the small greens.

“So for Rory [with the BRNR], it’s a nice course-specific golf club for him. He’s got both shots with it; he can move it right-to-left or left-to-right. And the main thing about this club has been the accuracy and the dispersion with it. I mean, it’s been amazing for Tommy.

“This was the first event Tommy used a BRNR last year, and I remember talking to him about it, and he said he couldn’t wait to play it at Augusta next year. And he just never took it out of the bag because he’s so comfortable with it, and hitting it off the deck.

“So you look at Rory, and you want to have the tools working to your advantage out here, and the driver could hand-cuff him a bit with all of the shots you’d have to manufacture.”

So, although McIlroy might not be making a permanent switch into the new TaylorMade BRNR Mini Driver Copper, he’s likely to switch into it this week.

His version is lofted at 13.5 degrees, and equipped with a Fujikura Ventus Black 7X shaft.

Spotted: TaylorMade P-UDI driving iron

It seems like the RBC Heritage is full of new gear to be spotted, and you can add TaylorMade’s P-UDI utility irons to that list.

We spotted a 17-degree P-UDI 2-iron in Nick Dunlap’s bag yesterday, and now have some photos of both the 3- and 4-irons. Nick has his P-UDI 2-iron setup with a Project X HZRDUS Black 4th Gen 105g TX shaft.

From what we can tell, this new P-UDI utility iron looks to have some of the usual TaylorMade technology as we can see the Speed Slot on the sole of the club for additional face flexibility. A toe screw is usually used to close off the hollow body design that will probably be filled with a version of TaylorMade’s Speed Foam that is present in the current iron lineup. This hollow body, foam-filled design should offer additional ball speed, soft feel, and sound, as well as an optimized CG for ball flight.

“Forged” is etched into the hosel, so we can assume that either the face, body, or both are forged for a soft and responsive feel. The club looks good from behind and at address, where we can see just a little offset and a topline that I would consider medium thickness. We don’t have the full details on what is under the hood or how many loft options will be available yet.

Wonderful Article! tstoto tstoto tstoto tstoto

The TaylorMade Tour Preferred irons are a solid choice for skilled golfers seeking precision, workability, and a classic look. If you have a lower handicap and prioritize control over forgiveness, the Tour Preferred irons could be a suitable option. As with any golf equipment, it's recommended to try the clubs or get professionally fitted to ensure they match your individual swing characteristics and preferences. by tstoto

No weaknesses. All very good.

i no lika thes clubs and bring back too many i get confuse

Customer Service

I just recently purchased a set of 2009 TaylorMade tour preferred irons with TT dynamic gold s300 shafts. I went to try out some irons to replace my Snake Eyes forged cavity backs I have been playing with the past 5 years. I really had my mind set on either Ping s57 or Titleist ap2's but the TaylorMade's were on sale as they were last year's model, so I figured I would give them a shot. I have never been a huge fan of TaylorMade irons in the past. After a 10 minute warm-up, the testing began in the fitting room. All three irons gave nearly identical measures; launch angle being 14-15 degrees and initial ball speed of 132-135 mph for each swing with each. I was using 5-irons for comparison purposes. I was very shocked to find that the TaylorMade's were the longest of the three, but only about 3-4 yards longer than the ap2's. The Ping's brought up the rear in this catagory. Also, the TaylorMade's had the tightest shot dispersion of the three, again with the Ping's being the worst of the three (not bad by any reason, but just not as tight as the other two). The real kicker was on the mis-hit shots (about two out of ten for each club, not bad but not pure smash either), the TaylorMade's still held the line and only lost about 5 yards of distance. I have since played 2 18-hole rounds with the clubs, and the only problem I have had is adjusting to the new distances I am hitting each club, approx 6-10 yards further than my old set. I had even had the old set bent 3 degrees strong, and the new TaylorMade's are still standard loft/lie!! I would be interested in seeing how they perform with Rifle shafts, however I really don't see the need to make any changes at this time as these are vastly superior to any club I have played in the past. I really like the swingweight and the feel of these irons. I pretty much hit a very consistent 5-yard draw with these, and mis-hits are not a disaster. Now, if only I can get better at chipping..........

Have not had to use them, however Golf Galaxy staff was very helpful in choosing this set.

I was looking for a new and modern set of irons with a cloassical look, but some forgiveness in order to replace my old Taylormade RAC Combo Set. Tried around a lot. At the end I tried the new Tour Preferred irons and they are at its best. Great feel, the d1 balance was amazing and I had a great feel shot for shot. The only negative remark is the bit harder feel during impact than my old forged irons. But I hit the 3 iron solid from the fairway as well as the PW, they are constant and easy to hit. Also took back some strength, switched from stiff to regular but I am even a bit further (note: with the same loft degree) as with my old driver. For 300 € at ebay this was a great deal.

Started this beautiful sports 4 years ago with a set of Callaway Big Bertha irons. Then switched to the Callaway X-Tour Forged 1.5 years ago as my game improved. My handicap has gone down to around 16 to 14 but could not improve any further. Recently I decided I should change the set for one that is more current, with better technology that might help me in my game. After testing a few models - namely Ping S57, TM 2009 TP and Titleist AP2, I settled for Taylormade's Tour Preferred Irons with Project X Flighted shafts. The club looks beautiful at every angle. During my first range session, it took me only about 5 shots to get used to each club. And at the end of it, the only thing in my mind was 'I should have switched to this much earlier!' The feel was excellent, and I might say even better then my last set of forged irons, really buttery coming off the sweet spot, probably due to the Vibration-management Cavity Badge or the undercut cavity. Sound at impact was also solid. Off-center hits were forgiving, with less loss of distance compared to my old irons. I was even striking the ball better with the long irons, with increased confidence. Shots are now more consistent, with more GIR every round. For mid-handicappers and better, who are thinking about getting a new set of players irons, look no further. This set should not disappoint.

Have not used it yet.

Callaway X-Tour Forged

I've been serious about golf for 5 years. I switched over to a set of TaylorMade Tour Preferred irons after playing with Mizuno MP-33's for a couple of years. Before playing the MP-33's, I hit Callaway Big Bertha 2005 irons. Since they were game improvement irons, I was able to play the irons well in a short period of time. After playing with them for 1 year, I decided to switch over to MP-33's since the Big Bertha's lacked feel and workability. At first, the MP-33's were brutal to play with because the sweet spot is the size of a dime. However, after about a year, I learned that in order to hit blades well, you have to slow down your swing. After I figured that out, I loved playing with the MP-33's. I recently decided to buy a set of irons with a little more forgiveness but still maintain workability. Tour Preferred offered just that. Now, I'm striking the ball much better and not paying a heavy penalty for miss hits. If you are looking for a set of irons with blade like features with forgiveness of cavity back irons, I highly recommend trying out the TaylorMade Tour Preferred irons.

A thin topline and shorter head from heel to toe help to create a classic look . The shallow cavity helps distribute weight to the perimeter of the head to increase the moment of inertia (MOI) for extra forgiveness. The sole has softer edges to discourage digging.

Taylormade 2011 Forged -- CB/MC/MB review with pic...

Don't want to get outdone by everyone else, so here you guys go:

Alright, REVIEW:

I've owned nearly every TM iron since the late 90s: the original Rac MB and Rac CB, also gamed the old Lehman 300 Forgeds, the 05 TP CB (my personal favorites), the TP MB, R7 TP, tour issue R7 TP Goosens, tour issue .355 Tour Burners, 09 Tour Preferred retail, tour issue 09 Tour Preferred B and a combo set of tour issue 4-7 w/ B 8-W, R9 TP, and tour issue R9 TP B...I thought the 09 Tour Preferred B was the best to date...a hair more offset than the nearly zero offset R9 TP B but with the thin sole of a blade. The 09 Tour Preferred had lower offset values than the R9 TP in the 2-4, same in the 5, but higher in the 7-PW. Both the retail 09 Tour Preferred and R9 TP were too chunky (especially in the sole) for my liking. I prefer the thinner sole of the MB or B heads of previous TM offerings, but like a little offset...

First impression: they look super sweet. TM has a winner here. The top lines are perfect for me.

MC 4-6i: I think this is gonna be where the set really shines for the public. Very hot penetrating ball flight. I had my Ping S59 irons out there with these to test. The 6 of the MC is a much more boring flight than the S59. Hotter feel off the face. Very good forging for an off the rack club. They blow away the "soft cast" that TM has used in the last couple sets I've had (2009 Tour Preferred B and R9 TP B). I'll be playing rounds this weekend and will report back, but based on range performance, I think this is where TM will make some $. The public will love these things.

Offset of the MC is progressive vs. the R9 TP: less in the 2-4, same in the 5, slightly more in the 6-PW. The sole width is where I think the greatest improvement is: it interacts much better w/ the turf than the R9 TP in my opinion. In a quick comparison, the sole is much closer to the R9 TP B than the "chunkier" R9 TP. Sole width is what usually kills the TP line for me. The offset is normally okay to my eye, but the chunkier sole and I just don't get along. These are the perfect complement of offset/sole width. Sole width much closer to the B series irons, with the offset/forgiveness of the regular TP lines.

MB 7-PW: Very solid feel yet again. The SW screw being in the sweetspot area gives is a strong feel at impact. I thought they would provide a little more boring flight. I was hitting the MB 8i and my S59 8i on nearly the same trajectory. Not quite the difference I saw in the 6i MC vs S59 test. The offset is perfect...these things just want to fly directly at the target with no curve--isn't that what you want from your low irons?

The offset of the MB is also progressive vs. the predecessor: lower in the 3-6i than the R9 TP, practically the same as the R9 TP in the 7-PW. Again, the sole is where they shine. They have the thin sole of the B series heads, with the offset/forgiveness of the regular TP line. This is where I really think these irons will shine for the public and the tour pros. The offset helps provide a stronger flight, but it comes without having to sacrifice the awesome turf interaction of the previous MB and B lines. I would have no issue gaming a whole setup of these.

Fire away with questions...I'll answer all of them I can...

**EDIT--Adams MB Comparison, cause I know it'll be asked: I had the Pro Black Adams MB also. These, though they look "similar", are much more user friendly in my opinion. I wanted to love the Pro Black MB, but fact is that they just didn't cut it for me. The forging felt a bit harsh, and they just overall lacked that solid feel behind the sweet spot that I love. Also, they seemed to want to dive in the turf for some reason. Though they swingweighted correctly, they just always felt a bit light at the head for me.

So are you getting a higher ball flight with the MBs vs the MC?

eldog-in-the-hizouse

Do you have any experience with the previous forged TP MB irons? If so I am curious to know how you feel they compare with the new Tour Preferred MB's? Turf interaction, blade size, feel, etc. I love the original forged TP MB's.

Thanks for the review, these TM irons are certainly on my radar to try this year. Any comparisons with the R7 TP (my favorite TM iron to date)?

[/quote] Guess I should've listed that too..I had the TP MB...had the original Rac MB and Rac CB...also gamed the old Lehman 300 Forgeds...added to original post. As for the questions, yes, the turf interaction is closer to the MB/B heads than the previous TP (CB) lines. The regular TP lines are a bit chunky and bounce too much for my taste. These are more thin and sharper. Much better interaction. I will play these...I never could get along with the regular retail TP sets from the past few years...though I LOVED the 09 TP B heads ("the ones that got away").

[quote name='gohorse75' timestamp='1297970284' post='2987306'] So are you getting a higher ball flight with the MBs vs the MC? [/quote] It's hard to really say...I have the MB in the 8-PW and only hit the 8i so far, so yes, the MB 8i flies higher than the MC in the 6i. I haven't hit the MB 7i yet...that'll give me a better comparison (the MB 7i vs. the MC 6i).

[quote name='craz-e' timestamp='1297970805' post='2987332'] Thanks for the review, these TM irons are certainly on my radar to try this year. Any comparisons with the R7 TP (my favorite TM iron to date)? [/quote] I group the R7 TP with the 09 TP...pretty close specs, so that comparison above w/ the 09 Tour Preferred should be a good comparison for you. I also had the R7 TP Goosens...they were closer to the R9 TP in my opinion, so that'd make that comparison good too.

Great pics and review. Can you post your impressions of the CB 3 iron? Any thoughts of what the CB would play like as a set? Love the looks of the MC but i like more offset than they offer, which was less than i expected. Thanks.

I'm not really in the market for an iron this year but I really like this offering from TM. All forged and all available at the same time is a nice change. I'd be interested to see what the sole and leading edge looks like on them if you can.

First time poster. I have been gaming the Smokes with Project X 6.0 for two years now and got on the launch monitor this weekend to compare the new line (with S300's) versus the Smokes. I hit the MB 8 iron 4 feet lower than my 8 iron with a ridiculous increase of 1,500 rpm. The MB's are just flat out solid feeling. I wanted a bit more forgiveness with the middle irons and the MC's are like cheating without losing too much feel. This too is where I think TM will make hay with this line. I could see most players under a 12 having no problems gaming these. I picked up the 4 iron in the CB and hit bullet after bullet. I hit shot after shot that carried a very consistent 212 yards which is probably in the neighborhood of 5 yards further than I carry most 4 irons. They are just a touch chunky and offset for my personal tastes buy I am going to give it a go in the 4. I am not sure about how many sets of CB's they will move with the Burner 2.0 being pushed, but it makes a nice transition for a combo set with the MC's.

What would you compare the feel to? Nike, Mizuno soft or Titleist clicky? How is the sole compared to the TP 2008's? I really liked those for turf interaction.

I played a whole round today with them, and I tell you what, if I absolutely had to choose one set (no combo), I really think I'd go with the MC. The MB is beautiful, and a fabulous set, but I'm very impressed by the MC.

I'm not a TM guy. But they look good. Nice bag by the way.

Sights in Khamovniki District

Why travel to Moscow

Contrasts: 12th century monasteries and some of the tallest skyscrapers in Europe can be found side-by-side in this complex and captivating city. The diversity of this mega-city is astounding. Only a few steps away from the solemn red facade of the Kremlin and the sounds of righteous church bells, a buzzing night scene and alternative-fashion boutiques can be found.

Culture: In Moscow only the best goes. Be it a theatre, restaurant or gallery, the standards are certain to be world-class. The Bolshoi ballet company is reputed to be even better than the Mariinsky’s and “MMOMA” (Moscow’s museum of modern art) exhibits works of art as profound as any that could be found in the famed MOMA.

Convenience: Unlike the rest of Russia, it’s easy enough to get by with just English in Moscow and, driving excepted, it is surprisingly safe: the murder rate is lower than in some of America’s major cities.

Why visit Moscow

It would take more than two days to walk around the perimeter of the biggest city in Europe, Moscow. Many of its inhabitants barely know what’s beyond the few blocks around their flat and there are so many attractions that it’s almost impossible to know where to start. If there is such a thing as an antidote to boredom, Moscow City is it. The mind-boggling range and diversity of things to do, places to eat, parks, historical monuments and more means that a vacation in Moscow has a wealth of activities to offer for every type of traveler, from young families to retirees.

Reasons to Vacation in Moscow in 2022

The Bolshoi theatre is familiar to almost everyone as Russia’s grandest theatre, but what people don’t know is that there are many more bolshoi (big) sites in Moscow that are worth travelling all the way to Moscow to see. For more than 100 years, the world’s biggest bell has been hidden behind the Kremlin’s walls and inside Moscow’s main park (which is bigger than some countries!) there is the world’s largest outdoor ice-rink. Travelers that visit Moscow can stay at the Izmailovo, Europe’s biggest hotel, then eat at the largest and most historic McDonald’s in Europe and after that have fun at the largest European indoor theme park!

Ancient Past & Stunning Architecture:

As those who travel to Moscow will see, just because Moscow is a city of record-breaking, glitzy high-rises doesn’t mean that there is no history. On the famous Arbat street, time-worn, wooden storehouses and century-old churches are squashed up against grey, soviet blocks which are then towered over by 21st century office-blocks. Unlike its much younger sibling, St Petersburg, Moscow’s roots stretch way back to the 12th century. Within the walls of the Kremlin, the city’s oldest building the Cathedral of Assumption can be admired in all its 500+ years of age.

Culture & Convenience

For a foreigner who has never visited Russia, Moscow is the perfect stepping stone into this great land of mystery. From the country’s best classical ballet troupes to snow-white troikas trotting through the parks, all the highlights of Russian culture can be had in Moscow without any of the complications that would be expected in other, less developed regions of Russia.

Cheap as Caviar

In Moscow, everything is bargain when with the current foreign exchange rates being what they are.

Lena, our guide in Moscow was excellent. She was very knowledgable and could answer any question we had for her. We liked that she could pick up on our interests and take us places we might not have thought of to go. When we realized that one of the places we had chosen to see would probably not be that interesting to us, she was able to arrange entry to the Diamond Fund and the Armoury for us. Riding the Metro with Lena was a real adventure and a lot of fun. In Saint Petersburg we found Anna well versed in the history of the Tsars and in the Hermitage collection. Arkady in Veliky Novgorod was a very good guide and answered all of our questions with ease. Novgorod was perhaps a long way to go for a day trip, but we did enjoy it. Vasily was a great driver to have and kept us safe with good humour and skill. We enjoyed ourselves so much, my daughter says she is already planning to return. We would both have no hesistation to recommend ExpresstoRussia to anyone we know.

Just wanted to let you know that My grandson Bruno and I couldn´t have been more pleased with our week in Moscow (6/15 - 6/21). We were absolutely enchanted with the whole experience, including getting lost a couple of times in the Metro during our free time. Although both our guides (both Eleanas) were excellent, I would particularly commend the first one (she took us to the Tatiakov, the KGB tour, and to that beautiful cemetery where so many great Russian artists, authors, composers, musicians, militarists, and politicians are buried). Her knowledge is encyclopedic; and her understanding of today´s Russia as a product of its past was, for us, truly enlightening. I will be taking another tour in Russia, with my wife, within the next two or three years. I will be in touch with you when the time comes. Meanwhile, I will refer you to other potential visitors to Russia as I meet them.

We had a great time both in Moscow and St Petersburg. Your travel agency was excellent in coordinating the whole trip. Everything worked like clockwork. The guides assigned to us were very nice and friendly. They had a great knowledge of their subjects. The cars and the drivers were great. The hotels were good and the itinerary was good. All in all, it was a wonderful experience. It was nice dealing with you and your company. Thank you very much for a great Russian experience. Have a great future ahead
