For those of us who are new to golf, when we search on the internet for the best golf clubs, it is inevitable that we will find Taylor Made irons in the search results. This is because the company has been manufacturing excellent golf clubs since 1979.

When Yang Yong Eun beat Tiger Woods at the PGA Championship of 2009, he had the Taylor Made R9 TP in his golf set. Another professional, Loren Roberts, had the Taylor Made RAC LT and the 320 when he won the Champions Tour golf tournament, Dick’s Sporting Goods Open of 2010,

It is not just the players who like Taylor Made clubs; even Golf Digest recognizes their top quality. Searching the digest’s Hotlist of the past few years will reveal that. This year, three of their irons made it to the list. These are the Taylor Made Burner, R9, and R9 TP. All these irons received gold awards!

The Taylor Made Burner and the R9, which are on the Game Improvement Iron Hotlist, are the golf clubs of choice for most players. The Taylor Made Burner was said to emanate power, and that a golfer can miss the sweetspot without noticing. The other iron, R9, has a two-millimeter thick face for supreme “spring-effect”, improving the ball’s length of travel when hit.

The R9 TP, in contrast, is part of the Player’s Irons Hotlist. So this is a club that professionals use. In fact, it was used by PGA Tour’s Kenny Perry and Dustin Johnson during their victories in 2009. This beautiful iron is like the R9, it also has a two-millimeter thick clubface. Additionally, a user said that it he felt no vibrations when he used it, even on toe hits!

Admittedly, these award-winning golf clubs are quite expensive, each being sold from $700 to $900 each. Thankfully, there are more affordable ones on the market. An individual Taylor Made Burner Iron with graphite shaft costs only about $110, while the one with steel shaft is about $20 cheaper. A single R9 Iron with graphite shaft is around $125, while the one with steel shaft costs about $25 lesser.

It is quite clear that Taylor Made irons are superb clubs. Whether these are priced at $900 or $110, using one can definitely make the player feel like a winner!
