TaylorMade SpeedBlade Irons

TaylorMade’s new TaylorMade SpeedBlade Irons are newly designed and all about speed and rebound. The SpeedBlade’s innovative Speed Pocket deep slot engineering behind the clubface allows the face to flex and rebound faster, increasing your ball speed and launch angle to boost your distance dramatically. The position of the slot low on the clubhead is an important factor, says Brian Bazzel, TaylorMade’s director of iron, wedge and putter development, who noted company research that showed 72 percent of iron shots hit by five- to 25-handicappers are struck below the center of the clubface, resulting in a low launch and loss of ball speed.

Compared to the RocketBladez, the speed pocket has been widened and lengthened to provide a more effective area near the heel and toe areas. The topline is also a bit thicker in the longer irons. While the SpeedBlade's thicker toplines and wider soles should instill confidence for mid- and high-handicap golfers, accomplished players will most notably benefit from the technologies designed into the SpeedBlades.

The Speed Pocket gives TaylorMade SpeedBlade Irons the fastest face of any TaylorMade iron ever, creating a potent combination of ball speed, high launch, long carry and steep descent that’s never been possible before. You’ll hit shots you never thought you could -- higher, longer, closer to the hole.
