TaylorMade Review: RAC OS Irons

Manufacturer: TaylorMade Golf


Details:

Purchase: These irons were presented to me as a gift from an Association for serving as the unpaid State Chairman for a year. I had played with a set while visiting Naples Florida this winter and had mentioned how well I seemed to hit these clubs.

Pros: I have been playing the original King Cobra Irons with grafite shafts for a number of years. The newer lightweight steel shafts in the RAC irons coupled with this clubheads ability to get the ball in the air easily makes these clubs easy to hit and keep on line. Additionally, the ball seems to bite better on the green, even from the middle irons. Same ball, same swing, better results.

Cons: I am not overly fond of the grips. They have a rubbery feel and I'm not sure how they will hold up over time (I'm not the worlds best at cleaning the grips with any great frequency). I prefer the feel of the Wynn grips I have been playing.

RAC OS Quality: Taylormade seems to have put a lot of thought into the balance of these clubs. The appearance of the heads and finish of the metal is excellent. My uncanny ability to hit balls into places golf clubs should not be taken will test their construction over time.

Summary: Definitely straighter, slightly longer and more forgiving than my older Cobras. Time will tell but I think these are keepers!
