TaylorMade R9 irons
A winner at the The game of golf Europe product awards, last autumn, R9 irons caught the judges eye for its novel Velocity Control Chamber: a fully enclosed compartment positioned behind the clubface that allows a large region of the thin face to exist unsupported.
It's a novel attempt to increase distance by growing the flexibility of the face (especially in the lengthy TaylorMade R9 iron where the face is thinner) and hence the COR which can be not subject to the exact same regulations as drivers.
The chamber is moreover filled having a heat-treated proprietary foam and backed having a distinctive silicone insert for an exceptional feeling, high-launching iron.
The R9 of discount golf clubs combines traditional looks and game improvement functions like a deep undercut cavity, heel toe weighting and a beveled sole to reduce turf resistance. Anticipate a price tag for eight pieces fitted with KBS steel or Fujikura Motore graphite shaft. There is as well an R9TP version already a hit on tour, with Sergio Garcia, Retief Goosen and Paula Creamer amongst those to make the immediate switch to a set which as well has a forgiving 2- iron choice.
Mizuno MP-58 irons
As mentioned in our Planet Golf report on the Orlando PGA Show, Mizuno's Shaft Optimiser gets our vote for probably the most practical new golf club fitting initiative of 2010 (so far) for the way it thus efficiently suggests appropriate shafts for you to attempt, based on your personal 'swing DNA'.
Of course, being Mizuno's own device, you'll be encouraged to attempt out their own equipment, which is usually no hardship given the impressive new iron ranges on offer for 2010 in both the much more workable MP category and also the more forgiving MX line. The mizuno MP-58 irons (per golf club, steel shaft) is normally grabbing particular attention for the way it seamlessly fuses a strip of lightweight titanium at the rear of the club to allow a discrete re-allocation of steel at the edges for a touch of perimeter weighting without compromising aesthetics at address, or playability. Over in the MX category, the MX-300 was as well securing rave reviews (and numerous US media awards) for the design principle that sees a milled pocket cavity within the 3-7 iron set give way to a more solid, workable power bar' construction in the purer 8-iron through gap wedge. Meanwhile, the hollow bodied MX-1000s (graphite) offer the impressive Y-Tune weighting configuration that expands the sweetspot into the toe and, together with the wide soles, contributes to an exceptionally stable, high-launching and user-friendly style.
