The TaylorMade Tour Preferred iron combines the latest technology with classic looks to deliver an easy to hit iron for the mid to low handicapper. The thin top line and the short distance from heel to toe that the golfer sees at address hide the Tour Preferred iron's tour configured sole that works to reduce resistance and digging to allow the club to deliver smoother and purer ball striking. The shallow design of the undercut cavity gives the TaylorMade Tour Preferred iron exceptional stability and forgiveness and a vibration management sound badge contributes to the solid and satisfying sound of impact. Thanks to the use of TaylorMade's Inverted Cone technology the Tour Preferred iron also delivers consistent distance, even on off centre hits, by increasing the area of the clubface that is used to generate high ball speeds.
My friend is a forged iron snob. His last four sets of irons have all been forged. He just loves the overall experience of playing them; the feel at impact is soft and responsive. You can feel the ball compress and leave the clubface and the aesthetics are what he prizes above all when standing over the ball. So when a friend dropped off a set of TaylorMade Tour Preferred irons, He was prepared to dislike them. They were, after all, cast; and he just new that there was no way that cast clubs would ever feel as good as any of my forgings. None ever had and he was sure that these would be more of the same.
The tour-configured sole was shaped with the help of in-depth feedback from TaylorMade Tour Staff professionals, and features a softened leading and trailing edge that work together to minimize resistance and discourage digging. That helps the sole to power smoothly through the turf to promote purer ball-striking. The shallow, undercut cavity design allows substantial weight to be distributed in the perimeter of the clubhead, equaling high MOI for exceptional stability and forgiveness on off-center hits. The cavity also houses a vibration-management sound badge, strategically shaped and positioned over the Inverted Cone to fine-tune the club's pitch and resonance, ensuring that the sound of impact is solid and satisfying. Tour pros who tested the Tour Preferred iron during development unanimously praised their feel, with many claiming that it delivers the soft feel of a forged iron.
