We've combined a classic player's shape with a number of TaylorMade technologies. The entire set utilizes our 'Inverted Cone' clubface technology for added ball speed on offcenter hits. The foam-filled 3- through 5-irons are designed to launch high, enhance distance and improve feel and sound.
Even on its best behavior, which has been true of T.P.C. Sawgrass the past two days, the course built by Pete Dye can still exact a pound of flesh. As the unscathed Donald put it, 'There's a lot of danger here, and it's pretty easy to slip up.'
Mickelson can attest to that. Starting his day on the more difficult back nine, he went out in with a five-under 31, making three birdies and an eagle, at the 16th hole. At that point, he was three strokes behind at six under, and feeling pretty good about himself.
Besides, the shape of the taylormade r9 tp head is very similar to that of the popular Tour Preferred irons, but by use of the Inverted Cone Technology, and the way the face blends into the hosel, there is a larger overall contact area.
The result is a classiclooking set with long irons (2-5) that feature thin, flexible clubfaces (due to the hollow-headed design) for higher COR and more distance. Clubfaces become progressively thicker in the mid- and short irons to promote greater control and feel.
