Why We Like It
- A hollow-body construction with a forged, high-strength steel face insert produces plenty of distance sizzle.
- The face insert wraps around the leading edge into the sole for more potential ball speed from impacts lower on the face.
- Tungsten within the head (as much as 41 grams) lowers the center of gravity for more effective launch.
- The tungsten also is used to produce a consistent center of gravity (vertically) through the set for added consistency.
- TaylorMade’s “SpeedFoam Air” material is inserted within the head, reducing those pesky unwanted vibrations on mis-hits.
- Structural ribs in the walls of the body deliver noticeable sound and feel dividends.
- Top 5 in Forgiveness, low-handicaps.
- SPECS: 7-iron: 33 degrees; PW: 45 degrees

Hitting them, they just jump off the face and they're easy to use. They made them a little bit thicker, so they launch a little higher—which is fine. They'll hold a green.
Thomas

The standout was the 5-iron for me. It was incredibly easy to hit. The other ones were good, too. You get a high launch, almost like a hybrid shot. And it's very, very straight.
Megan

It's what you expect out of a players iron. A few shots tend to get up in the air a bit, but you still get all the distance you want out of them. It's a great option for most golfers because it's quite forgiving. I love the simple design and look. It's a less-is-more approach.
Matt
27, Handicap 5
1 year testing
Overall, these are very clean and suit the eye. And they sound great. If you hit it off the center of the face, you get that pinging, flush sound. It's a little weaker off the toe or the heel but still good. The face feels very hot. It would take you awhile to dial in your distances.
Ricky
46, Handicap +3
10+ years testing
It's really square at address, it sits perfect. I got a nice mid-to-high ball flight without floaters. I could work the ball, too. And even on mis-hits, I could get good distance. I'm not worried about being perfect. If I miss it a hair, I'm not going in the bushes to find the ball. There also was a nice, crisp crunchy sound from club, ball and turf interaction.

Jamie
51, Handicap 5

I got good distance but it came at the expense of a pleasing feel and sound. I almost could not feel where I hit it on the face. The trajectory was a nice, penetrating flight but the feel was a deal-breaker. Too many shots felt like I thinned it even though I didn't.
Jason
48, Handicap 0

They're a little bigger but still look like a blade. And they have the performance of game-improvement clubs. They are the perfect option for a guy who wants to fool others into thinking he's a player. It's a high-launch club and one of the longer ones in the player category. If you're looking for a stable ball flight, these are a great option.
Alan
30, Handicap 1

This has a much bigger head, on the thicker end of the spectrum. If you're a mid-handicap, i think this is a good fit. If you're trying to hit dead-straight balls and not work it, this is your set.
Anand
43, Handicap 6
10+ years testing
These are a little bulkier so there's enough mass that will help the ball up. Feels like I can get a good trajectory and hit high draws. This is the perfect club for me. The feel was like a lazy dog that just doesn't want to get up. Then you look up and see the ball is way up in the air and you're not losing distance. It's an easy club to love.
Molly
37, Handicap 0

The club is great to look at—eye-catching and appropriate size. And it packs a punch with workability to match. The flight was high, but that didn't always mean the ball would stop quick.
Skylar
26, Handicap 7

I like the brushed finish because it's not too shiny. I love the two-tone face being darker, and they are very nice and balanced weight-wise, not too heavy. I got a nice solid sound at impact. It was audible but muted. And they were super consistent. The sweet spot is very findable.
Sándor J.
36, Handicap 9
2 years testing
It's a great-performing club. You love what you hear and then you look up and love where it's going. The ball flew a little high, so that might hurt you on a windy day. But these are consistent.
RC
63, Handicap 7

I liked the way it looked and felt in my hands and I felt confident over it. It was just lacking a little in performance.
Robert
28, Handicap 2
1 year testing
This is easy to look at at address and it's very soft off the face. You couldn't feel much but man could you hear it—very loud, which was odd. It works the ball pretty well, especially if you want more sidespin. If you already curve it, it's going to really move for you.
Peter
57, Handicap 7
10+ years testing
It has some forgiveness and feels pretty cushy off the face. But if you don't hit it in the sweet spot, you can tell. You definitely lose distance if you're off-center. The good thing is that you don't get harsh feedback. It feels pretty smooth.
David
66, Handicap 8

The heft of the club helps it move through the ground powerfully. It's workable, too, for draws and fades.
BK
41, Handicap 1
9 years testing
It looks like a player's iron, but everything is just slightly bigger. That translates really well into the 7-iron and 5-iron, but the shorter clubs get a little clunky. Put it this way, for it to be a muscle-back type style of iron, it really disguises that nicely. It's a slightly higher-launching club without that balloon trajectory you don't want. It's probably the highest-launch iron I felt like I still had control with. Good for the rough and mis-hits.
Wayne
60, Handicap 6
2 years testing
To get it to perform the way it should, you have to hit it right in the sweet spot. Not as forgiving. That said, it performed on a good level distance-wise.
Paul
63, Handicap 4
10+ years testing
The clean look is a nice change of pace with a standard-size head and topline. This was a good, workable iron. Felt like it matched me. At impact, the ball accelerated off the face and had a mid-to-high launch with no distance penalty. You could do a lot with this club.
Jack
35, Handicap 1
2 years testing
It looks almost like game-improvement stuff. It inspires confidence, especially with the short irons. It feels like you have more face to work with. You won't get killed for toe or heel shots. To get the ball curving, you do need to exaggerate the action.

A five-step forging process delivers the feel better players crave.
Metal-injection-molding weights placed in the toe create enhanced workability and control.
The center of gravity is lower in the long irons to boost launch and higher in the short irons to control trajectory on shots from pin-seeking range.

The hollow-body construction and a thinner, more flexible cupface (in which the face wraps around part of the sole and topline) on the 3- through 5-iron provide more ball speed and a higher launch to enhance distance.
The remaining irons have a 1025 forged-carbon-steel face insert designed for precision, accuracy and repeatability in the clubs where distance isn’t as crucial.
The company’s urethane microspheres within the body of the long irons control vibration, enhance feel and allow the face to flex for maximum distance.

The single-piece forged cavity-back is more compact than the P·770.
Cavities in the sole are milled out, allowing for tungsten (up to 11 grams) and a slug of lightweight metal-matrix composite to be inserted to lower the center of gravity.
The metal-matrix composite is one-fifth the density of the surrounding steel. This allows for more perimeter weighting and ultimately forgiveness.

The T150 is hotter than the T100 thanks to its stronger lofts (2 degrees) and a channel behind the face that adds spring at impact.
The muscle channel is close to the face to provide a solid feel.
Dense D18 tungsten uses an aerospace brazing process that eliminates weld joints. This allows a more precise center of gravity and extra stability on off-center strikes.
