TaylorMade launches new rac Oversize(OS) irons
Engineers reckon they've found the secret of delivering clubs that avoid that tingle through the fingertips from mis-hits
In the two years since Now, with the emergence of the new rac OS irons, its engineers claimed they have finally perfected the feel and forgiveness needed to add that final dimension to those towering, yet penetrating irons shots that amateur players crave. An ‘improved centre of gravity location on the club, says TaylorMade, also makes it easier ‘to launch the Channeling impact vibration to strategic areas of the clubhead, to more effectively control vibration has been what the engineers have been seeking, experimenting with the shape of ‘cavity pads’ and ‘feel pockets’ to defuse unwanted vibration through the shafts and deliver soft feel at impact. Club golfers don’t want to feel those tingling mis-hits through their fingertips and TaylorMade reckon they can prevent it. A thinner-faced, lighter clubhead has also helped engineers more scope to re-shuffle its technology to maximise forgiveness and deliver a stronger top line and wider sole. Shaft options include a new graphite UG65 and steel T-Step Ultralite, while all models feature the new, high-traction TGT grip. The rac OS irons (for right or left-handers) include 2-iron to 9-iron and four wedges and the recommended price for eight irons (3-PW) set of OS irons is £499 (steel shaft) or £599 (graphite). A model for women is also available.
