REVIEWS
The 4 iron was equally as easy to hit, with a
good consistent high flight which was even eas- ier to shape than the 7 iron. Again, good consis- tency of length, with the average 200 over the 10 strikes. The strike was a very pleasant sound, with the feel transmitted up the shaft to the hands.
Summary: Would they appeal to the good player and those aspiring to get to low handicap at club level – ab- solutely – although better players would defi- nitely go for forged all the way through the set. For me they tick every box a blade should.
Lovely to look at, easy to hit, powerful, great feed- back on strike, easy to shape and hit high/low.
However, only the 8,9 and wedge are actually
‘forged’ (this is due to the inclusion of the ‘speed pocket’ technology in clubs 3 to 7 which by ne- cessity are cast) and that for me is a negative. Also they weren’t longer or appreciably more accurate in grouping terms than my own. Having said that, TaylorMade have done a good job in making ‘cast’ clubs feel like forged. There is no doubt that the MC has the best features of both the CB (Cavity Back) and the MB (Fully Forged Muscle Back) Tour Preferred sets and as such, is a set that in my opinion, if bought, would stay in a golfers bag for a number of years – it nearly ticks all the boxes.
