My current clubs are a set of Taylormade RACs from 2010, and they're definitely starting to show their age and wear. I decided it was time make the jump and upgrade to Taylormade's latest and greatest, and boy am I glad I did….Normally, the incremental improvements and changes brought by the latest gen irons each year are usually just marginal, so if you've got a set of game improvement irons from the last 5 years or so, I doubt you'll see a TON of improvement from a performance standpoint. But if you're upgrading from an older set like me, it will be like night and day…..
Here in NYC, it's still like ~20 degrees out, so I've only had the chance to try them out at the simulator downtown, but just from the hour or so I've had with them so far, I'm averaging about ~5-10 yards more carry vs my legacy set of irons, and the consistency and feel is just out of this world. Also, the sound is really awesome… They've engineered some type of synthetic insert into the cavity that eliminates vibrations on off center hits, and it's definitely not a gimmick. Off center shots that would normally clang and vibrate through my arm like a tuning fork with my old set, feel and sound totally normal with this set. And when you hit it pure, that solid cracking sound is like music to the ears.
They're also waaay more forgiving than my old set. I definitely hit some shots that were embarrassingly close to the toe, and I cringed as I waited for the data from the shot monitor expecting it carry 30% less distance, but surprisingly, the distance penalty was closer to like ~10-15%….I'll take that all day vs my old clubs.
One small, tiny caveat….These are marketed as high launching, straight distance irons, but I've noticed, personally for me at least, that they've got a slight draw bias. For the majority of golfers (me included) that tend to fight slices, this is no big deal at all and actually a bit welcome. But still important to be aware of, from a control stand point.
I will update this review in time when I get to take them out on the actual course, but so far, I'm loving the Qi Max….Anyone looking for a top tier set of game improvement irons should look no further, you will not absolutely not be disappointed with this set. Recommend 100%!
