TaylorMade

What it does: TaylorMade has perhaps the most high-powered tour staff in golf, with players such as Dustin Johnson, Collin Morikawa, Rory McIlroy and a host of others, so it stands to reason that the company would produce a forged iron worthy of such talent. The forging process uses a 2,000-tonne press to decrease the grain size in the 1025 carbon steel used for the clubhead. Why is that important? It leads to fewer inconsistencies that need to be addressed by hand polishing, thus creating a repeatable clubhead shape for a player type that appreciates such things.

Why we like it: Although muscle-back blades are primarily for golfers with mad skills, the P•7MC (muscle cavity) offers a players-iron look with just the right amount of forgiveness. Based on the company’s P•750 irons, enhancements include moving mass behind the face to support the point of impact. This coupled with a forged carbon-steel face and hosel provide a syrupy feel. For those who care about such things, the compact head, thin topline and progressive offset offer the kind of tour-level look that makes you feel as if you have the game of DJ, Collin or Rory.
